Evil Geniuses and Thunderpick have decided to expand their partnership to include the DOTA 2 team ahead of The International 12 in October. This collaboration comes after a period of turmoil within the Evil Geniuses camp, and the team is excited to have Thunderpick’s support for both their Counter-Strike and DOTA 2 rosters.
Evil Geniuses made headlines last year when they made the controversial decision to drop their North American roster and move to the South American region. This move was met with outrage from fans who had supported the team for nearly a decade. In March, former EG DOTA 2 star Syed “SumaiL” Hassan even sued the organization, with the case set to go to trial in November.
Despite the controversy, Evil Geniuses has found success with Thunderpick as their presenting partner for their Counter-Strike squad. Now, they are extending this partnership to their DOTA 2 team. Thunderpick, an online cryptocurrency casino, has been making its mark in esports and has sponsored various gaming personalities, including Jake Lucky.
It’s worth noting that Thunderpick holds a Curacao gambling license, which restricts betting in the United States and the United Kingdom. This may pose some challenges considering Evil Geniuses is based in Seattle. However, both parties are committed to supporting the global growth of esports through this partnership.
The expanded partnership will be showcased through exclusive team content and additional fan experiences, although specific details have not been disclosed. Thunderpick and Evil Geniuses are aligned in their mission to bring esports experiences to wider audiences and support players.
Overall, this expansion reflects Thunderpick’s dedication to the esports industry and their commitment to helping Evil Geniuses succeed in both Counter-Strike and DOTA 2.
