CSGO team wins $1k \u2018kassad Grand Slam\u2019 after stunning Evil Geniuses in RMR qualifier ESL\/Helena KristianssonThe North American RMR closed qualifier has concluded, with LOS + oNe claiming the $1,000 bounty placed on Evil Geniuses by analyst Aleksandar \u2018kassad\u2019 Trifunovi\u0107 after denying the North American team a spot at the Major qualifier. kassad has been openly critical of Evil Geniuses and the esports organization\u2019s CS:GO project. EG signed two rosters, in addition to its main team, in June 2022 and said that it would be running a 15-man roster with three teams to nurture North American talent. So far, that experiment has yet to bring results on the big stage. However, Evil Geniuses has promoted two players to its main CS:GO roster since the project began, with Jerric \u2018wiz\u2019 Jiang and Jadan \u2018HexT\u2019 Postma making it to the top. kassad adds some spice to Evil Geniuses NA RMR qualifier run Evil Geniuses got their qualifying campaign off on the wrong foot, losing to yur, an unsigned roster ranked 204th in the world, in an overtime game. kassad then took to Twitter to pledge $1,000 to the team that eliminated EG from the qualifier. As the final day of the qualifier kicked off, EG only had to beat MIBR to secure a spot in the RMR. But a 0-2 loss to the Brazilian team meant that they had to play two more matches to have a chance to qualify for the LAN tournament. EG quickly dispatched Mythic, a streamer team featuring Erik \u2018fl0m\u2019 Flom, only to fall short against LOS + oNe in the decisive 7th-place match after two close maps. On Twitter, LOS + oNe partner and advisor Alexandre \u2018kakaveL\u2019 Peres said that he \u201cwill take the boys skiing\u201d with the money sent by kassad. The failure to reach the Americas RMR means that Evil Geniuses will miss the BLAST.tv Paris Major. Head coach Daniel \u2018vorborg\u2019 Vorborg described this as the \u201clowest point in my career\u201d and apologized to the team\u2019s fans. EG\u2019s next match will be in the group stage of the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 17 against Cloud9, on February 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
