Evil Geniuses will cease competitive and day-to-day operations effective

November 2, 2026.

The decision comes after an extended effort to build a sustainable path forward for the organization. Unfortunately, esports continues to face significant headwinds, including constrained sponsorship and investment coupled with rising costs of competing at the top level.

Despite sustained investment and the dedication of the EG team, it was concluded that the business cannot be operated responsibly in the current environment.

For more than 25 years, Evil Geniuses has been one of North America's most recognizable esports brands, with a legacy built by its players, coaches, creators, and staff, and by a fan community that has supported the organization through every era. EG and its ownership are grateful to everyone who has contributed to that legacy.

EG intends to cease operations in an orderly fashion, working with affected players, coaches, and staff.
