DOTA: EG recruits former eMg squad

Evil Geniuses opens up a DotA squad, which comprises of former eMazing gaming players.
The organization behind EG has noticed the potential of the Warcraft III mod, Defense of the Ancients, leading them to recruit a DotA squad for their team.

eMazing Gaming, known to be one of the top North American DotA teams, will now play under the EG banner. Pu "Whisper" Liu, one of their more notable members, made a statement regarding the move in the EG press release.

"We feel that EG understands and shares all of our goals, so will do everything possible to support us and help us achieve them. Our team has always displayed loyalty and dedication to whatever organization we've played under."

Liu also mentions his regret about leaving his former team. "While it is somewhat sad to part ways with eMg, and on a more personal level Matt Marcou, we look forward to what the future holds."

Alex Garfield, Executive Director of EG, is thrilled to have the new squad under its wing. "...their extensive, successful resume, we believe this particular group of players has the right combination of talent, work ethic, image, and personality to represent the EG brand and its sponsors. We're very excited to see what they can do under the EG flag."

The squad currently participates in several tournaments; such as MYM Prime, DotA Ballers League and will also look forward to qualify for DotA's inauguration in the ESWC.

I'm pretty surprised the team left to EG... what will happen with the next Fire in Ice now?

#6, there should be no concerns about Fire In Ice. While I'm certainly not qualified to speak about the inner-workings of eMazing Gaming, Matt Marcou and eMg have several initiatives going on in addition to the professional gaming aspect of the company. One of those initiatives is Fire In Ice, and EG's acquisition of the eMg DOTA team will have no effect on the Fire In Ice events. They'll continue to go ahead as planned.

I will also continue to help Matt in the planning and execution of Fire in Ice events.

Great news for eMg - there is no team more deserving.

Looking forward to another Fire in Ice.
