After Failed Run for World Championship, EG Focuses on Rebuild With Core Duo
After a failed run for the RLCS 2021-22 World Championship, the organization is geared toward developing its core duo of Ivan "ivn" Sabri and Leonardo "Catalysm" Christ Ramos. After promising results in their previous competitions, the organization banks on the two to lead the team as they rebuild in the new season.
Even though the team is optimistic for a stronger run next season, everything is still unsure as "Catalysm" might be sought after by other teams during the offseason.
According to reports, Evil Geniuses have already talked with other players in the hunt for potential replacements. The team is also yet to announce if they will go international and pick a non-German speaker to complete their squad.
Given the rumors of picking non-German-speaking players, the team is eyeing Kurtis "Kash" Cannon to be added to their roster after a promising performance that the player showcased across previous games. Kash can be a strong addition to playing with Ivn and Catalysm.
As of this moment, the future of the Evil Genius Rocket League team is yet to be determined. Stay updated with the latest Rocket League news to be informed of future developments.
