Evil Geniuses (EG) have consistently dominated the VALORANT scene with their bold off-season roster moves, and 2025 is no exception. Known for both controversial decisions and remarkable results, EG is once again making headlines. From nearly missing Champions to securing unprecedented victories, their story continues with the unveiling of a revamped VALORANT roster and an exciting new mascot.
Evil Geniuses Level Up with New VALORANT Roster and Mascot
As EG bids farewell to the “Contract Jail” escapees—former stars of their VCT-winning era—they welcome fresh opportunities for rising talent. The team’s leadership remains in experienced hands, with Christine “potter” Chi returning to guide this new lineup, alongside Assistant Coach Mike “pho” Panza.
Adding an extra spark to the team is EG Meesh, the organization’s brand-new mascot. Meesh was introduced as part of the roster announcement and is already winning fans over with its charm. This addition seems like a step forward for EG, which has previously faced backlash for being “out of touch” with its fanbase, especially during its rebranding phases and Champions merchandise releases. Fans are already hoping to see Meesh as a Gun Buddy in future EG bundles.
EG’s 2025 VALORANT Roster: Who’s Ready to Dominate?
The new roster combines proven veterans and returning talent, with a mix of flexibility and firepower that could turn the tide for the team.
- Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker (Sentinel/Duelist): Known as “El Diablo,” Yay returns to the big stage after stints with Cloud9 and BLEED, where he faced mixed results. Fans are hopeful for his resurgence as a top-tier player.
- Jacob “icy” Lange (Duelist/Initiator): A key contributor from EG’s 2024 lineup, Icy has earned his place with consistent performances during their championship run.
- Phat “supamen” Le (Controller): Bringing stability to EG’s defense, Supamen remains a cornerstone in the Controller role.
- Nicholas “NaturE” Garrison (Sentinel/Controller): As the team’s In-Game Leader (IGL), NaturE’s strategic expertise will once again be critical.
- Derrek “Derrek” Ha (Initiator): Known for his clutch plays, Derrek’s experience will be instrumental in EG’s quest for victory.
This dynamic lineup is built for versatility, with roles likely to shift depending on map strategies. With such a mix of talent, the return to stardom for Potter, the players, and Meesh feels within reach.
What to Expect from EG in VCT 2025
As fans eagerly await the VCT Americas Kickoff, the stage is set for Evil Geniuses to shine once again. Will this revamped roster live up to its potential? Can Yay reclaim his “El Diablo” form? And will Meesh become the fan-favorite addition EG hopes for?
One thing is certain—EG is cooking something special, and the 2025 VALORANT season promises to deliver. Don’t forget to check esports-news.info for more details.
