In addition to William "RUSH" Wierzba serving as the team's substitute, Evil Geniuses have officially added Jadan "HexT" Postma, Colby "Walco" Walsh, Paytyn "junior" Johnson, and Jeorge "Jeorge" Endicott to their starting lineup. Tommy "Axed" Ryan serves as the team's coach. The five former EG Black players have been given permission to pursue other possibilities, while Vincent "Brehze" Cayonte, Jerric "wiz" Jiang, Ismail "refrezh" Ali, and Sanzhar "neaLaN" Iskhakov have joined autimatic on the organization's new primary roster.
During their rebuilding period, Evil Geniuses originally spoke with players like Denis "electroNic" Sharipov, Audric "JACKZ, Jug" Aleksandr "zorte" Zagodyrenko in order to examine their strategies. However, at the last minute, these negotiations fell through, and Evil Geniuses chose to promote their academy roster instead. This decision is consistent with a June 22 report from Dust2.us as they prepare for the autumn season and the arrival of Counter-Strike 2 later in the summer.
