Evil Geniuses

The long time captain Peter “PPD” Dager transitioned out of the team into a business management position with the brand.

Andreas Franck “Cr1t-” Nielsen stepped into the rather large shoes left open with PPD’s departure. Hailing from one of the most successful teams of the 2015 -2016 year, OG – Cr1t- was part of history as the only team to claim two Valve sponsored championship titles – Frankfurt Major and Manila Major.

For the third time, Artour “Arteezy” Babaev dons the blue jersey for the organization. The famed Canadian player has had an on and off again relationship between Team Secret and Evil Geniuses since 2014.

Saahil “UNiVeRsE” Arora, Syed Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan and Ludwig “zai” Wåhlberg have remained with the team.

Evil Geniuses were close to getting their names written on the Aegis of Champions for the second time. Not close enough, though: they fell to Digital Chaos in the Lower Bracket Finals and placed third overall.

Evil Geniuses have already secured their first title of the season – taking the MDL 2016 title and trophy when they overthrew the TI4 champions, Newbee, 3:1 in the grand finals.

New Evil Geniuses roster:

Artour “Arteezy” Babaev
Andreas Franck “Cr1t-” Nielsen
Saahil “UNiVeRsE” Arora
Ludwig “zai” Wåhlberg
Syed Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan

Fnatic

The new Fnatic roster was finalized for the upcoming Fall Major season with the additions of Jimmy “DeMoN” Ho, Nico “eyyou” Barcelon and Marc Polo “Raven” Luis Fausto.

The three known players joined core members of Fnatic Chai “Mushi” Yee Fung and Chong Xin “Ohaiyo” Khoo – both of whom have been playing on the team since June 2015.

Zheng “Miduan” Yeik Nai and Adam Erwann Shah “343” bin Akhtar Hussein had officially parted ways with Fnatic, following the departure of Djardel Jicko B. “DJ” Mampusti at the end of August – leaving the team with just two.

Fnatic took fourth place at TI6 after a spectacular run and showcase of talent.
