EG.LoL with a roster change
Today, Evil Geniuses announced that long-standing member Peter 'Yellowpete' Wüppen will be moved to the substitute position. He will play his last game for EG this Friday, against LMQ. Yellowpete released the following statement regarding the move:
I want to thank the team for the great time I have had with them over the last split – even though our results left much to be desired, I can confidently say this period of time has been extremely enjoyable for me. I liked playing competitively with this team, but what's even more important to me is its success. There is no arguing about the fact that my performance within the last couple of months has not been what I want or the team needs it to be. After closely watching the tryouts period, I believe that this is a change that can have a positive effect on the team's performance. Altec is a very talented, young player whom I could see a lot of growth in and I'm looking forward to helping him transition into the LCS from the Challenger scene. Personally, I will use the rest of the season to do whatever I can to assist the team in being successful and reaching Worlds.
The new starting AD Carry for Evil Geniuses will be Johnny 'Altec' Ru. At 17 years of age, Johnny is already a well-known figure within the NA Challenger and pro scenes. His background includes teams like Curse Academy, along with teammate Pobelter and more recently, amateur team Cloud 9 Tempest which unfortunately, was unsuccessful in its task to enter the LCS. Altec will play his first match for EG on Saturday when the team will face Dignitas and CounterLogic Gaming.
