The North America team will be playing in the OMEGA League: Europe Immortal Division. Unfortunately, the team’s Filipino midlaner Abed “Abed” Azel L. Yusop will not be able to compete in the tournament since he is currently at his home in the Philippines and cannot leave the country because of the current lockdowns.

gpk is expected to play in the mid lane for Evil Geniuses. This means that Evil Geniuses will be playing with 3 European Players (gpk, Andreas Franck "Cr1t-" Nielsen, and Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev) in their lineup. Artour "Arteezy" Babaev and Tal "Fly" Aizik will play from North America. Both NA players have been practicing pub games on European servers to get used to the latency.

Hence Evil Geniuses Lineup for the OMEGA League: Europe Immortal Division will be:

  • Carry: Artour "Arteezy" Babaev
  • Mid: Danil "gpk" Skutin
  • Offlaner: Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev
  • Soft Support: Andreas Franck "Cr1t-" Nielsen
  • Hard Support: Tal "Fly" Aizik
