Evil Geniuses is slated to radically overhaul its team, with William “RUSH” Wierzba being one of the contenders to join the side.
Aside from signing Jacky “Stewie2K” Yip from Cloud9, Evil Geniuses announced the signing of Timothy “autimatic” Ta. However, the American esports organization hasn’t officially announced the signing of RUSH.
Evil Geniuses Signs Stewie2K & Autimatic
The rumor mill has been churning out speculations surrounding the possibility of Stewie2K joining the side for quite some time now. Now, he finally joined the org and will be accompanying his former teammates in the coming days.

To recall, Stewie2K and his former teammates formed an impressive trio that went on to achieve success together at Cloud9. The entry of autimatic is special given that he is coming out of retirement from Counter-Strike.
We’re putting together an explosive roster.

The professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player was competing in Valorant with Gen.G Esports. However, a report by ESTNN, he will not be the main awper for Evil Geniuses. This will enable him to focus on a single role better.
Furthermore, Stewie2K will be spearheading the In-Game Leader for EG. It is worth mentioning here taht Stewie2K has a reputation for making effective decisions in-game.
Aside from that, he has a considerable amount of experience from Team Liquid and Cloud9, making Stewie capable of turning things around at EG.
Much to their chagrin, Evil Geniuses’ season in 2021 turned out to be substandard. Moreover, the side hasn’t won a trophy for a long time.
However, the org will be leaving no stone unturned in a bid to change that in the impending tours. In other words, these roster changes are a step in the right direction.
