]]>In a statement, RUSH revealed that Evil Geniuses had decided to move him to the substitute position on the roster. In a bid to remain active, the player stated that he was open to other offers by esports organizations and would even consider transitioning to a coaching role.
“As of today, EG is changing course and have moved me to being a substitute (6th player) on the main roster,” RUSH wrote.
“Being an integral part of building EG Black was very rewarding. I feel good about how we climbed the ladder in NA to the point of being promoted to the main roster.”

RUSH joined Evil Geniuses Black late last year, in time to help the team compete in the ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America. During his ten months with the academy lineup, the team did not accomplish any major feat.
In the Twitter post, the player also revealed that his time with Evil Geniuses Black gave him a lot of clarity, making him aware of his desire to help and coach players.
“CS2 is nigh and I am as motivated as ever for it. Working with this young squad as an NA vet gave me a lot of clarity. Clarity in the sense that I really enjoy and find fulfillment helping players and people grow into a better version of themselves. I am available to the right team and organization as a player, coach, or leader,” RUSH concluded.
The news comes days after Evil Geniuses moved four players from their academy lineup to the starting five of the main roster. Jadan “?HexT?” Postma, Jeorge “?Jeorge?” Endicott, Colby “?Walco?” Walsh, and Paytyn “?junior?” Johnson were all bumped up to the main team to play alongside Timothy “autimatic” Ta.
RUSH was made the sixth (substitute) player, while Tommy “?Axed?” Ryan was signed as team coach.
The Evil Geniuses Black players replaced Ismail “?refrezh?” Ali, Vincent “?Brehze?” Cayonte, Sanzhar “?neaLaN?” Iskhakov, and Jerric “?wiz?” Jiang, who were dropped earlier and allowed to explore other opportunities.
The organization decided on the move after a number of high-profile negotiations with players like Aleksandr “?zorte?” Zagodyrenko, Denis “?electroNic?” Sharipov, and Audric “?JACKZ?” Jug were shut down.

]]>Although Stewie2K and RUSH made their way to EG alongside Timothy “autimatic” Ta in 2022, the team has been uninspiring through the first half of the season.
If the roster changes are effected, it will add some credibility to former assistant coach Paolo “EVY” Berbudeau��s claims against Stewie2K. EVY had accused the IGL of being unprofessional in different ways during his and Damien “maleK” Marcel��s time as coaches of the team.
Evil Geniuses are said to have shown interest in a few potential replacements for Stewie2K. Among the names on their radar are former Copenhagen Flames in-game leader Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen and K23��s Sanzhar “neaLaN” Iskhakov.
As a possible replacement for RUSH, EG are rumored to be looking to get the former OG rifler Valdemar “valde” Vangs.
EG pride themselves on owning three CS:GO teams, making them the first franchise to field multiple top-flight rosters for a single esports title. The standout team is led by Stewie2K, and other teams consist of lineups that formerly competed under the names Carpe Diem and Party Astronauts, in line with the franchise’s goal of creating a fluid 15-man roster. Players from the disbanded franchises were only acquired about a month ago.
EG’s main team has not competed since the end of April, when they failed to qualify for every S-tier tournament scheduled for the end of the first half of the season – including IEM Dallas and IEM Cologne.
