Evil Geniuses Valorant team, considered the best team in the world after winning the Valorant Champions, has faced a series of challenges within the organization. Recent reports by Richard Lewis indicate that the players have been subjected to pay cuts and are now caught in a contractual bind.
Following their remarkable Cinderella run to claim the Valorant Champions title, the euphoria surrounding Evil Geniuses’ victory has been overshadowed by troubling revelations. Reports surfaced about the team’s dissatisfaction and feeling disrespected by the organization that represents them, dampening their spirits despite their remarkable achievement.
Richard Lewis’s report shed light on the predicament faced by EG’s players. Besides being forced to accept pay cuts, they find themselves trapped in “contract jail” and struggling to negotiate deals with other organizations. This situation presents a considerable obstacle for the players, who were expected to receive lucrative offers from other teams after their outstanding performance at Valorant Champions.
In the wake of their triumphant journey from obscurity to success in 2023, it is hardly surprising that Evil Geniuses’ Valorant players garnered significant attention. Other organizations, keen on strengthening their roster for 2024, were expected to extend offers to these highly sought-after players. However, according to Lewis’s report, EG’s players are facing difficulties exploring other opportunities due to their contractual obligations.
This conundrum, coupled with the reported pay cuts, paints a grim picture for EG’s players. One player, C0M, openly stated that they didn’t “get the respect we deserved” from Evil Geniuses. The tension surrounding the situation is palpable, with Lewis’s report suggesting that Demon1’s relationship with the organization may be irreparable due to issues with his contract buyout and offers that were denied by Evil Geniuses. These buyout offers are said to amount to $100,000, as revealed by Lewis’s source. Similarly, EG rejected a similar offer extended to Ethan.
It is important to note that the mentioned buyouts are separate from the potential contract prices that organizations would have to propose to acquire these talented players.
With the players locked into their contracts until the end of 2024, the question remains whether any organization would be willing to pay a steep buyout for these world-class talents.
The future of Evil Geniuses Valorant team hangs in the balance, as they navigate contract disputes and pay cuts, which threaten to dismantle the unity and success they achieved at the Valorant Champions.
