Jonathan “\u2060djay\u2060”<\/span> Dallal<\/a> and Connor “\u2060chop\u2060”<\/span> Sullivan<\/a> have been released from their contracts with Evil Geniuses<\/a>, departing EG White<\/a> and EG Black<\/a>, respectively, after nearly six months under the organization’s banner.<\/p>\n

Changes come to the two lineups following a period of mixed results. EG White<\/a> won Fragdelphia 17 in September but have struggled in their international tournament appearances at the Pinnacle Cup Championship and ESL Challenger Melbourne, while EG Black<\/a> have underperformed in ESL Challenger League and other domestic North American tournaments.<\/p>\n

djay is no longer a part of EG White<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

djay<\/a> had been a part of the EG White<\/a> core for nearly three years, playing alongside Josh “\u2060PwnAlone\u2060”<\/span> Pigue<\/a> and Ben “\u2060ben1337\u2060”<\/span> Smith<\/a> on New England Whalers<\/a>, High Coast<\/a>, and Party Astronauts<\/a> before their eventual pickup by EG. He averaged a 1.09 rating while under the organization’s banner, the second-highest rated member of the team after PwnAlone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

chop<\/a> put up similar numbers on EG Black<\/a>, averaging a 1.08 rating \u2014 the third-highest on the lineup. The team had limited success overall, however, faltering in qualifier bids for ESL Challenger Rotterdam and exiting back-to-back seasons of ECL in 4th and 5-6th place.<\/p>\n

Replacements for both teams are still being explored. EG Black<\/a> are currently using Wesley “\u2060viz\u2060”<\/span> Harris<\/a> as a stand-in for ECL and have reportedly practiced<\/a> with Nouns<\/a> member Jeorge “\u2060jeorgesnorts\u2060”<\/span> Endicott<\/a>, while EG White<\/a> enlisted the help of Khizar “\u2060Momo\u2060”<\/span> Rehman<\/a> in CCT North America Series 2.<\/p>\n
