Several days ago, there was a rumor circulating online that Evil Geniuses were planning to sign the American player Derrek "Derrek" Ha in the near future. In response to this, a fan took the opportunity to make a joke about the player during a live broadcast.

While playing alongside the latest Evil Geniuses player, Alexander "jawgemo" Mor, Derrek "Derrek" Ha received a friend request for his account during a match. He then noticed that the profile that added him was signed as the "Director of the EG Prison," and the American player laughed at the situation.

After the victory at VALORANT Champions 2023, a scandal erupted around Evil Geniuses regarding financial difficulties, leading to the dismissal of most of the team and other staff. The players themselves had previously stated that they were in a "financial prison" and faced challenges in signing contracts with other organizations.

However, recently, Evil Geniuses players were given the opportunity to leave the team and sign contracts with various organizations in VCT Americas. Afterward, only jawgemo and potter remained. Despite the controversial end to the year, the organization announced its intention to continue its existence and plans to assemble a roster for the upcoming VCT season.
