Evil Geniuses Rise to the Top

Evil Geniuses (EG) defied all odds and emerged as the champions of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2023 season. Starting from the bottom of the rankings, the North American team showcased their resilience and determination to secure victory against Paper Rex (PRX), the team that had previously knocked them down to the lower bracket. Despite a fierce battle, EG emerged triumphant with a 3-1 victory in the final series.

A Rocky Start for Evil Geniuses

The year began on a challenging note for EG, as they struggled in the VCT LOCK//IN tournament, finishing 9th-16th. Their performance in the VCT Americas League was also lackluster, with a 1-5 match record after five weeks of the regular season. However, with the addition of Max “Demon1” Mazanov to their roster, EG found their rhythm and never looked back.

Historic Achievements for EG

EG’s victory in the Valorant Champions 2023 is historic for several reasons. Firstly, their coach Christine “potter” Chi became the first female to win a Valorant world championship, breaking barriers and paving the way for more diversity in esports. Additionally, Demon1 made an impressive rookie debut, winning the trophy in his first year in the VCT.

The Grand Final Showdown

In the grand final match, PRX started strong on their map pick, Split, with aggressive attack plays that kept EG on the defensive. However, EG turned the tide when they switched to the attacker side, making strategic moves and capitalizing on Demon1’s exceptional kills. They staged a remarkable comeback, erasing PRX’s lead and ultimately winning 13-10.

PRX Strikes Back on Ascent

On EG’s map pick, Ascent, PRX made the necessary adjustments and quickly took a 4-0 lead. Despite EG’s efforts to regain control, PRX maintained their advantage with impressive aim duels from Ilya “something” Petrov and Jinggg. Their double duelist composition secured crucial eliminations, leading PRX to a 13-11 victory and leveling the series at 1-1.

EG Dominates on Bind

Moving on to Bind, PRX’s map choice, EG showcased their dominance on defense, punishing PRX’s aggressive pushes and securing a commanding 7-1 lead. With a solid 9-3 half, EG continued to shut down PRX’s strategies, particularly f0rsakeN’s Yoru, and closed out the map with a convincing 13-5 victory.

The Final Showdown on Lotus

In the fourth map, Lotus, chosen by EG, PRX managed to take a slight 7-5 lead at halftime. However, Demon1 once again proved to be the driving force behind EG’s success, winning crucial clutch rounds as Astra. With jawgemo’s pivotal plays, EG gained the momentum they needed to secure the victory. In a nail-biting finish, EG won four of the last five rounds, clinching the Valorant Champions 2023 trophy on their home turf.

Conclusion

Evil Geniuses’ journey from underdogs to Valorant world champions is a testament to their perseverance and skill. With their coach making history and their rookie player shining, EG’s triumph is a remarkable achievement. They have proven that with determination and teamwork, anything is possible in the world of esports.
