Evil Geniuses CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson Steps Down After Successful VALORANT Champions Victory

Evil Geniuses, the renowned esports organization, is undergoing changes as its chief executive, Nicole LaPointe Jameson, officially resigns from her position. Jameson made the announcement on August 31, without providing specific reasons for her departure. However, she expressed pride in her four-and-a-half-year tenure and optimism for the future.

During her time at the helm of EG, Jameson oversaw a remarkable period of success, culminating in their recent triumph at the VALORANT Champions 2023 tournament. This victory was particularly significant as the team started the year as underdogs, defying expectations and prevailing through their commitment to meritocracy, inclusivity, and a tenacious spirit.

The EG VALORANT roster faced initial uncertainties, including the absence of major off-season signings and the decision to maintain two full rosters within the organization. However, they overcame these challenges, with the addition of Demon1 and the subsequent fusion of the squads propelling them to become the top team in the Americas region.

While EG’s achievements in VALORANT were notable, the organization also competed in other esports such as League of Legends and CS:GO. Throughout Jameson’s tenure, EG navigated various hurdles, including a contentious situation involving their star player and content creator, Danny, in the League of Legends scene. Despite these obstacles, there were successes, such as the emergence of Jojopyun as the LCS Summer 2023 MVP.

Following Jameson’s departure, Chris DeAppolonio has assumed the role of EG’s new leader. Jameson expressed her confidence in DeAppolonio’s ability to guide the organization to even greater heights.

Overall, Jameson’s departure marks a significant transition for Evil Geniuses, but the organization remains poised for continued success in the esports landscape.
