A shocking development has occurred in the VALORANT offseason as Evil Geniuses reportedly gives their players the option to explore other offers or accept a pay cut. This news comes less than a month after the team’s victory at Champions.
According to reports on September 11, the starting roster of Evil Geniuses has been given the opportunity to seek offers from other organizations. However, if they choose to stay with the team, they will face a significant reduction in salary.
Earlier in the day, members of the EG roster expressed their frustrations and confusion on social media. Flex player Ethan Arnold shared his disappointment, questioning the significance of their championship win. Other teammates also posted messages conveying their shock and dismay, with Corbin “C0M” Lee summing up the situation by stating that nothing makes sense.
This unexpected turn of events has caught many off guard, as very few anticipated any changes within Evil Geniuses following their recent triumph. The team had just achieved the ultimate success in VALORANT, going from underdogs to world champions in a remarkable fashion.
Interestingly, this is the second instance in a month where a VALORANT team may part ways with their entire roster after a major victory. The Guard players left their organization after it refused to sign a partnership agreement with Riot following their Ascension win. This situation has raised concerns within the community, with many questioning the job security in esports even for the best teams in the world.
As of now, Evil Geniuses has not made an official announcement regarding these developments.
