Phat "supamen" Le is the primary controller for the EG 2025 lineup.  Supamen is one of North America'slongest standing top-level controller players, historically boasting some of the most consistentperformances of all North American controller players. After an off-season where supamen was one of Americas’ hottest prospects on the free-agent market, hechose to build on EG’s transitional 2024 season.  

Throughout 2024, supamen was able to find his form against the region’s best and culminated in having several iconic performances and clutch moments(anyone remember that judge play?)With renewed confidence and a year under his belt of controlling the flow of gameplay under potter’sguidance, supamen is ready to take the next step forward to help EG become one of Americas’ best teams, and doing so with effortless skill on display.

Nicholas "NaturE" Garrison is the flex initiator and in-game leader for Evil Geniuses in 2025.  NaturE brings4 seasons of veteran leadership experience as well as explosive potential rivaling the best in the VCTAmericas league.

This season, along with the returning core of potter, pho, supamen, and Derrek, NaturE will put his 2024experience to the test in hopes of breaking through and qualifying for international events.  NaturE's professional career began in January of 2021 with Immortals, who hoped he was the missing piecenecessary for qualifying to the first VCT NA event of the year. He would spend 2021 with the Immortalsroster until he was transferred to GenG in the latter half of the year.

A year later GenG chose to depart NA in favor of competing in VCT APAC partnership league, thus leavingNaturE to find a new squad for 2023.  He would eventually land a spot on the Team Solomid roster andspent the 2023 season in VALORANT Challengers North America before being picked up by EG for the2024 VCT Americas season.

Derrek "Derrek" Ha is the initiator specialist and emotional leader of the 2025 EG lineup.  Renowned for his clutch performances and exceptional statistics that place him among the strongest players in the Americas– not just in his role– Derrek brings unmatched energy to the team while being one of the few elite-level Sova players in North America.

At Champions 2022, although only one game from qualifying for the bracket stage, Derrek and 100Thieves fell to the powerhouse Fnatic.  In 2023 Derrek continued his time at 100 Thieves, competing inVCT Americas 2023. In 2024, Derrek made a triumphant return to Evil Geniuses alongside supamen and NaturE. This reunion marked a turning point in his career, as the synergy between the trio reignited thei rcompetitive edge.

The 2024 season with EG not only helped Derrek regain his confidence but also propelled him beyond his previous performance levels. He firmly cemented himself as a core member ofany Championship-caliber team, showcasing exceptional gameplay and leadership that contributed significantly to the team's success.

Christine "potter" Chi is the Head Coach and lead strategist in the Evil Geniuses 2025 lineup.  After the2023 Championship win, potter looked to rebuild the EG lineup from scratch and is thrilled to build upon that core for 2025.


Her remarkable analytical skills and extensive competitive experience have paved the way for some of the most impressive talent developments in VALORANT history.  After a slow start to the inaugural VCT Americas 2023 season, Demon1 was moved to the active roster in place of BcJ and the rest was truly history.  Starting from a team struggling to find its identity in the early parts of the season, potter was able to lead the squad to success after success in the final half of the season.  

The eventual peak of that successwas ending 2023 with Evil Geniuses as the world champions of VALORANT. 

With only Jawgemo returning in 2024, potter rebuilt the entire team from scratch. With highlightmoments to kick-off the 2024 season and a strong 2nd half of the season, the core was established in thistransitional year.

Mike "pho" Panza is the Assistant Coach for the 2025 season.  Originally a professional player, he began his career during the early stages of Valorant's professional scene in 2020 with Built By Gamers as an emerging in-game leader.

Throughout his career, pho has consistently taken on leadership duties within his teams, fostering a strong team culture across all his rosters. In 2024, he embraced his first season as a VCT coach under the mentorship of Head Coach potter, learning from the best. Wearing many hats, pho became the team's go to person for guidance on anything and everything by the end of the season. His multifaceted contributions were invaluable, and the experience helped him refine his strengths.

Looking ahead to 2025, pho is eager to leverage his 2024 experience with EG to focus on his strengths and help elevate the team and individual players to greater heights. His ultimate goal is to culminate this effort by qualifying for Champions in 2025, playing a pivotal role in guiding EG toward another World Championship.
