Evil Geniuses CEO apologizes as CSGO team crashes out of another event Jo\u00e3o Ferreira for PGLOn Twitter, Nicole LaPointe Jameson wrote that the organization is \u201ccommitted to making changes to improve\u201d the CS:GO team\u2019s results. Evil Geniuses\u2019 disastrous campaign hit another low on Wednesday, April 27, as the team crashed out of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown in the first round of the tournament following a 0-2 defeat to Brazilian side GODSENT. It wasn\u2019t the most surprising defeat that this EG roster has suffered, but it definitely stung as it left the team out of the running for the BLAST Premier Spring Finals, one of the few international tournaments of the season for which they could still qualify. With a 0-2 loss to @GODSENT, we are eliminated from the #BLASTPremier Spring American Showdown. pic.twitter.com\/bIkV6o928U \u2014 Evil Geniuses (@EvilGeniuses) April 27, 2022 EG, who had failed to qualify for PGL Major Antwerp and IEM Dallas earlier in April, have no avenue left to qualify for IEM Cologne, not even through ESL\u2019s World Ranking, in which they are currently ranked 30th. EG CEO apologizes to fans After seeing the CS:GO team eliminated from yet another tournament in disappointing fashion, Nicole LaPointe Jameson made it clear that the organization will not stand idly by. \u201cDisappointing finish in CS:GO today,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019m sorry to all the fans. \u201cWe are not complacent with these results and are committed to making changes to improve!\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/tothelapointe\/status\/1519452232399294464 Evil Geniuses\u2019 current roster was assembled in January, when the organization signed Jake \u2018Stewie2K\u2019 Yip, William \u2018RUSH\u2019 Wierzba, and Timothy \u2018autimatic\u2019 Ta \u2014 bringing back the core of the Cloud9 team that won ELEAGUE Major Boston in 2018. The trio was paired with Vincent \u2018Brehze\u2019 Cayonte and Tsvetelin \u2018CeRq\u2019 Dimitrov, two players who have struggled for form in the last two years. On Twitter, RUSH admitted that the team\u2019s continued struggles were \u201cunacceptable\u201d. \u201cIt\u2019s been four months with this squad and we haven\u2019t accomplished anything and have improved very little,\u201d he wrote. The issues experienced by EG\u2019s underperforming CS:GO roster stand in contrast to the success enjoyed by the organization\u2019s League of Legends team, featuring a mixture of young players and veterans. The team won on April 24 its first-ever LCS title after a 3-0 rout of 100 Thieves in the final, qualifying for the upcoming Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) in Busan, South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
