The American club Evil Geniuses has announced its updated Valorant roster for 2025, featuring Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker and Jacob "icy" Lange. The organization shared the news on social media.

Forced changes?

After winning Champions 2023, Evil Geniuses faced significant challenges, losing almost their entire lineup. The management and head coach Christine "potter" Chi had to rebuild the team with a limited budget, which significantly impacted their performance. Evil Geniuses failed to qualify for any international tournaments, effectively making the season a failure, especially after their Champions 2023 victory.
