North American gaming powerhouse Evil Geniuses have made a bold move in picking up the ex-MYM Warcraft III squad in Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, Dmitriy "Happy" Kostin, and Rene "Ciara" Krag.

The team, competing in in both the WC3L team league, as well as the NGL One on One competition, was recently released from Meet Your Makers due to the companies financier filing for bankruptcy.

Team captain and Warcraft III superstar Schenkhuzen spoke about the move to EG.

"I'm glad that I can finally announce that I will be part of Team Evil Geniuses from now on. Team EG has had a strong position in North America so far, and now they're looking to expand internationally. That's great news for me, because I was looking for something new."

Alex Garfield expressed his excitement towards welcoming the new squad.

"Today we welcome a new division full of internationally renowned talent, and players who have already accumulated dozens upon dozens of landmark results."

You can find the team participating in the WC3L league, as well as NGL, and any upcoming Warcraft III LAN events.

#1 ... hope you're kidding

#1 Grubby is one of the best warcraft III players in the world

EG is a little late to the party here... great pick ups, hopefully they will transition to SC2 for them.

holy crap... EG must have a ton of $$$ to work with. That's around 15 players a month that have a pretty good salary. Probably 1 of the richest teams in esports right now.

nice pickups

maybe 10k a year? if you live in an apartment and eat no food, thats good monies mang.

Yeah more Cassandra

#8 bra if you have no respect for the players, organizations and community then don't post. If you do, then don't leave stupid sarcastic remarks trying insult esports so you can feel better about yourself. As for my initial remark.... considering there really isn't any money involved in esports at the moment, they seem to be signing a lot of high caliber players that all came from pretty high salaries.

I'm not an esport nut....i just cant stand this constant disrespect between ppl.

#8 keep hating the world brOoOOOOo.... no ignorant reply is needed

EG Starcraft roster:

Geoff �iNcontroL� Robinson
Dan �Nyoken� Eidson
Eric "G5" Rothmuller
Jake "LzGaMeR" Winstead
Bryce "Machine" Bates.

Wow that's pretty big for EG. It's weird seeing an American organization backing someone like Grubby.

Go EG :)

Gamertag: passmoreNOPE ~ team backdraft

might not be big CS news people were expecting, but picking up a player like grubby is amazing, guy rakes in over 100g's from winnings a year

Mazer:
Did they clarify that yet? Since going heavy on CS, EG have been really grey on what their SC group is doing.

Exia:
Uh... you do realize WeMade FOX's yearly budget is more than every NA team's combined. Korean esports and NA esports shouldn't be remotely compared.

#18 it's called a joke buddy, chill.

Lol @ everyone that tuned in for the "big" Lo3 announcement.

#20 including yourself.

Awesome, Grubby is one of the most talented players to play WC3, certainly in the top 3 (and my #1).

Grubby = Good PickUPZ

was sap brahs

WOW ... nice . go eg

jg4i - just go for it

wow, nice step from EG.

What?

Waste of time? Kidding? Dumb Americans you should be happy to have a clan with two players like Grubby and Happy, because now EG is the first and only one american clan, which will be a global name for eSport fans.

International has been done before.. rS had players such as Shore, Philbot and more from 2003 to 2007.

Great pickup for Alex and EG

TurtleBeach, Quantum-Servers, PureTrak, PureVoice, BAWLS, Lethal Gamers and SECOmedia

This is a very good move for EG, because not only they pick-up great players (and their fans), but it also shows that WC3 is still fully alive!

i wonder if grubby makes more in EG than mym

I'm just your fellow anon

Grubby is just the best... GL =]

aka the french cluTCH!

good pick up~

this is great!

I'm watching you

Grubby ownage.

Your friendly neighbourhood Nagelbergman.

Nice Pikups EG, GET BACK ON THAT PROMOD THOUGH

dont forget cassandra

This is one of those things, that if it goes well then it will go extremely well for EG and help them so much it will be unbelievable. However, if it goes bad it will go VERY bad and they will lose a lot of money for small amount of publicity. Best of luck Alex and co.

Shag: When he teases me, it hurts.

wow, first really good pickup so far

P&P

moon > grubby

:D

EG rocks, WC3 is still the best RTS Pro game on the World :) Now EG can play in NGL and WC3L to... amazing

can't wait to watch EG.grubby, EG is gonna get some huge euro fans now

#29 well he certainly does now, bankrupt companies pay pretty poorly id imagine ;P hehe

#43 - MYM damn sure wasn't always bankrupt..and who knows if they truly are now as I believe other assets were sold off instead. However, it wasn't but 2 years ago they announced millions in venture capital.

damn... these are all top player in the world... this will get EG some spotlight.. for sure..

and their recent pickup of lurrpis will help too.

#vortex #vortex #vortex

moon, happy, xlord, lyn > grubby

I'm Glad to hear things worked out for Grubby after the MYM fiasco. Hopefully EG can stir up the scene and get things going! Wc3 could definitely use a boost especially after MYM and now that ToD quit esports! :/
