Dota 2: Evil Geniuses announce shock departure of legendary players ValveEvil Geniuses have announced a hugely surprising roster move for their Dota 2 team with the benching of Sumail \u2018SumaiL\u2019 Hassan and departure of Gustav \u2018s4\u2019 Magnusson. With The International 9 well and truly in the rearview mirror, the competitive Dota 2 community has been left on their edge of their seats waiting for the conclusion of the annual post-TI roster shuffle. We\u2019ve already seen The International 2019\u2019s cinderella story in INFAMOUS depart their organization, Virtus.Pro shake up their once-dominant roster, as well as Team Liquid\u2019s legendary line-up leaving the North American organization in favor of a new project. Yet, they may have been all blown away by the significance of Evil Geniuses\u2019 roster announcement. On September 16, EG announced that they would be benching one of the world\u2019s best midlaners in SumaiL and were also open to transfer talks for the 20-year-old. The organization also confirmed that former OG player Gustav \u2018s4\u2019 Magnusson would be leaving the team altogether and be released into free agency. In their place, the organization announced that Abed \u2018Abed\u2019 Azel L. Yusop would take SumaiL\u2019s roster spot while former Virtus.Pro star Roman \u2018RAMZES666\u2019 Kushnare would be replacing s4. While the team may have needed a shake-up following their 5th-6th placed showing at TI 9, not many fans or pundits would have expected them to take SumaiL out of the active roster. The 20-year-old, often referred to as King, helped propel the North American organization to The International 5 glory back in 2015. While iconic Dota players like Peter \u2018ppd\u2019 Dager and Saahil \u2018UNiVeRsE\u2019 Arora have left the team since, SumaiL has always been their cornerstone player. Just what the future holds for the Pakistani midlaner remains to be seen, but provided his asking price isn\u2019t too high a number, it\u2019s unlikely that he\u2019ll be on the sidelines for very long.

Evil Geniuses\u2019 new Dota 2 roster will consist of: Artour \u2018Arteezy\u2019 Babaev – Abed \u2018Abed\u2019 Azel L.
