LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. – October 21, 2011. – Today Evil Geniuses (EG), North America’s premier professional gaming team and a world leader in e-Sports, is proud to announce its reentry into the MOBA genre by acquiring a new DotA 2 team spearheaded by former EG DotA players Clinton “Fear” Loomis and Jimmy “DeMoN” Ho.

The team, which includes the likes of Amel “PlaymatE-“ Barudzija, Rasmus “MiSeRy-“ Berth Filipsen, and Per Anders “Pajkatt” Olsson Lille, will immediately be headed to China to begin a two-month training session with the world’s best DotA 2 players. Additionally, while residing in China, the new Evil Geniuses team will be competing in a number of Chinese invitational tournaments.

“We’ll be beginning a new chapter with one of the most renowned names in e-sports: Evil Geniuses. EG came to us with their intention of wanting to sponsor a DotA 2 team, and what their plans for DotA 2 were. Shortly thereafter, my team and I knew EG would be the only company capable of providing us with what we need to be able to continue to compete at the highest levels in the game. With EG’s enthusiasm for the game and with the roster that we have, the possibilities of our success are immeasurable,” commented Clinton “Fear” Loomis.
