EG
Replaces Aui with Zai



The Evil Geniuses official twitter has confirmed recent speculation with its tweet that Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg will be rejoining Evil Geniuses (along with the already confirmed news that Saahil "Universe" Arora will be returning).



The organization went as far as creating a full website for the news, complete with photoshopped graphics and an awful song.

On the site, the organization explains that "Aui's path is less straightforward" and has this to say about him being kicked:


This was without a doubt the hardest part of the decision to move forward with these changes. Kurtis is a great player and a great person, and he deserves better than to be removed from the same organization twice within a year. That's not how we like to do things around here, and it's not something we're at all proud of or take lightly. After discussing the situation with him extensively, we've come to a good resolution that will compensate him appropriately for the lost time and opportunities that this situation takes from him. It's about as happy an ending as you could hope for in a bad situation. We're parting ways on good terms, and we wish him the best.

Seems the team was all planning on living in SF, whether that's forced by the org or the players deciding they need to get their act together who knows. But hopefully they step their game up. I have actual hope again.

Okay they got rid of Aui, I guess there's hope for them again.

Wow I'm shocked.

Zai, it'll be nice to see you play again. Aui, hang in there.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

It's too bad the team house is on the wrong coast. They usually bootcamp on the east coast to play the better EU teams.

They sold their soul to Comcast for that gigabit internet now tho!

I always thought a team house out east would have made more sense, and also been a hell of a lot cheaper but whatever. AUI was planning to move to SF after the Major, and now Zai is moving to the US, Fear lives there, Uni lived there till he went to Secret, PPD is in the city. I'm guessing they're making Sumail stay as well. Time for some team building or will everyone hate each other after living together?

I know, it makes no sense, but that's precisely what I expect by now.

I imagine the only thing stopping them from bootcamping more in a team house was Sumail going to school in Chicago.

We all know org's have nothing to do with player change decisions with dota 2. All in the team.

He dropped out a while ago. Charlie was supposed to be tutoring him or something, wonder what ever happened to that.

Anyways, most players don't really want to live together. Would you want to live with your coworkers? Sleep next to them, take a shit in the same bathroom, work together, eat together, be around each other 24/7? Sounds like hell honestly lol so I don't blame them.

Most likely, but the org can also tell them to get their shit together. Also they'll get rid of the house if it's not going to be used.

Why wait until after an International for a shuffle in the scene, when you can have it just before it starts

The teamhouse is just another topic but yah that's org stuff. Though for roster change i'm sure the org has nothing to do with that unless Aui showed some serious violations(which no way is gonna happen lol) that is frowned upon

I want zai to do well but I don't like EG so I guess I'll be rooting against him in the meantime.

I was gonna say the site seems like a waste of time and resources, but then I noticed the "RTZ" in the snow near the ice castle. Good shit, good shit.
Kurtis is a great player and a great person, and he deserves better than to be removed from the same organization twice within a year. That's not how we like to do things around here, and it's not something we're at all proud of or take lightly. After discussing the situation with him extensively, we've come to a good resolution that will compensate him appropriately for the lost time and opportunities that this situation takes from him.
Wonder how much they paid him.

In the next shocking turn of events, they bring in some of their SC2 pros to round out the roster after kicking 4.
