"After a disappointing end to 2021," Evil Geniuses said in a blog post, "the goal was simple: build a team that could dominate on a global scale and bring trophies home to North America.

"No team has a chance without a coaching staff that can prepare them to win. maLeK’s run at G2 as Head Coach saw his team challenge for the scene’s most coveted championships, most recently making the grand finals for both the PGL Major Stockholm and IEM Cologne in 2021. maLeK rounds out his coaching staff with another former G2 coach, EVY, who will join Evil Geniuses as the team’s assistant coach along with Hepa, the team’s analyst, who was previously with Team Liquid."
