- Jacky ‘Stewie2K’ Yip
- Timothy ’autimatic’ Ta
- Vincent ‘Brehze’ Cayonte

Meanwhile, autimatic retired from CSGO after his time on Gen.G Esports to play in T1’s Valorant team. According to LaPointe’s tweets, autimatic is primed to re-enter the scene and link up with his old C9 teammates.
Nicole LaPointe Twitter“In all seriousness, we are here to save NA CS. Get hyped to learn about the team and why they joined starting next week,” LaPointe said, all but confirming the team.
Ahead of the 2022 campaign, Evil Geniuses parted ways with most of its CSGO talent when it let go ‘Tarik’ Celik, Owen ‘oBo’ Schlatter, Peter ‘stanislaw’ Jarguz, and Michał ‘MICHU’ Müller.
As one of the last big NA orgs in CSGO, EG are looking to put together a roster that could match the firepower of top teams that are currently running the scene.
