Evil Geniuses (EG) has reportedly allowed their winning Valorant Champions starting roster to explore other offers or remain with the team while facing significant pay cuts.
This development follows EG's recent decision to drop their reserve roster, which included notable North American players like Brendan "BcJ" Jensen, Jeffery "Reformed" Lu, and Vincent "Apothen" Le.
Prior to this report, some members of EG's starting roster had posted cryptic messages on social media, hinting at changes within the team. Corbin "C0M" Lee expressed his confusion and gratitude for the year and the people he was surrounded by. Ethan "Ethan" Arnold lamented the changing landscape of esports, emphasizing the importance of performance and rewards. Alexander "jawgemo" Mor commented on the roster's situation, stating that winning doesn't always guarantee success in the future. Kelden "Boostio" Pupello simply reacted with disbelief.
As of now, EG has not officially confirmed the departure of their roster or whether any players will stay with the team for the 2024 season, potentially with reduced pay. It's also uncertain whether EG will continue their 10-man project, which was announced at the start of the 2023 season.
