During 2021, the Evil Geniuses CSGO side was unable to make any noteworthy finishes at any of the events they competed in. \u201cThe reality is that it was pretty much impossible to play well in this team with how dysfunctional it was,\u201d daps concluded. \u201cI do hope my friends find their form again, as it was sad to see what this team once was be turned into this.\u201d maLeK becomes EG CSGO head coach Our 2021 #CSGO holiday wish list: \u26aa Rifler \u26aa Another Rifler \u26aa IGL \ud83d\udd18 A Head Coach to help us fill out our new rosterWelcome to the team, @G2maLeK_!

However, it remains to be seen if he\u2019ll be given the power to do what daps wasn\u2019t, and build the roster the way he wants to. Currently, there are only two players active on the EG roster, so we should see some new signings start happening as we head into 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evil Geniuses sign new CSGO coach following daps departure Jo\u00e3o Ferreira\/DexertoDamien \u2018maLeK\u2019 Marcel will be Evil Geniuses\u2019 new CSGO coach in 2022, after Damian \u2018daps\u2019 Steele announced he was leaving the team.
