Evil Geniuses finally enters Valorant
Valorant has already seen plenty of all-male and all-female rosters debut in the growing esports scene, but Evil Geniuses have taken a different route: the org has exploded onto the scene with the competition’s first mixed-gender roster.
“This team is not like the others. We’re building a Valorant squad, and doing things our way,” the organization stated in its Jan. 28 announcement. “If you’ve got a hot take, spare us. This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a game-changer.”
Evil Geniuses kick starts their promise to “revolutionize the game” today too; the new roster competes in the Valorant Challengers Open Qualifier on Jan. 27.

The mixed-gender roster started with former Counter-Strike pro and fan-favorite caster Potter, who was then handed the keys to the kingdom to build her roster.
