One of the most resonant news of the last few days was the entry of the Evil Geniuses team into the American RMR. We remind you that the club could not get to RMR for BLAST.tv Paris Major due to the closed qualification after losing to LOS + oNe in the decisive match and stopped short of the tournament.
However, EG got a second chance - the Detonate team could not bring the team to Mexico to participate in RMR, and Evil Geniuses, the team closest to the qualification, got its slot. It seems like a holiday for EG, but everything may not be so rosy.
Evil Geniuses does not have a stable line-up
The main problem for Evil Geniuses is the need for a finalized main roster. It's so bad that the organization has replaced its core lineup with five EG Blacks at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, an event that grants a slot at the BLAST Spring Finals in Washington. Unfortunately, EG decided not to send their strongest team to this tournament. So the only conclusion is that there is no roster.
Jadan HexT Postma was sent to EG Black, and Evil Geniuses has no one for his position. According to rumors, Ismail refrezh Ali should have occupied his place. However, there still needed to be an official announcement, and RMR is only four days away. The main tragedy is that RMR is a tournament from Valve, and Valve will not replace the main line-up with EG Black, as BLAST did. Players are important to Valve, and the company will not allow another team to participate in the event, even if they belong to the same organization. This leads to another problem for the club.
Another media attack on EG
Let's present a situation in which Evil Geniuses, during the restructuring of the lineup, hastily gathers five players a few days before the event and confirms its participation in RMR. What then?
And then EG is waiting for a resounding failure, which will again deliver a crushing media blow to the organization. A failure at RMR, which the team could not even honestly pass, is also, most likely, an absolute failure because if a ready squad could not show decent results, then what can we expect from the five, assembled hastily and without training?
Getting on RMR for EG is a surprise for the club, which can be costly. The club planned to skip part of the season until the summer Player Break to adjust the situation with the squads. Then, the club could return with renewed strength and show promising results when everyone forgets about the failures at the beginning of the season. Now the organization will have to quickly solve the problems with the squads in a few days to participate in the tournament, where it has little chance. Isn't this a disaster?
