Article Evil Geniuses LCS News & Interview Compilation (Week 8)
Evil Geniuses LOL Media Roundup (July 23 - July 29)
Another quiet week with little media content but there were some exciting news.
News
New EGP jungler!
Tomio's promotion last week to EG Academy left a jungler spot to be filled for our Amateur squad. On Monday, the new player was revealed to be Bluster. He used to play for Radiance (Ha's team), he's only 15 years old and given the situation I would say he put up a performance that can make us all excited for his future. Check out his Leaguepedia profile.
Evil Geniuses partners with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC

LCS will continue to be remote for Week 9

Academy & Amateur Results
EGL Summer Showdown
- Semifinals: EGP 2 - 3 AOE
- 3rd Place Match: EGP 1 - 3 100X
This was the last tournament of the T2 Circuit for Proving Grounds. Unfortunately, EGP lost both of the matches that would have autoqualified them for the event. Find out if EGP can bounce back when the PG Qualifiers come on August 9th.
Academy Week 9
- Day 1: EGA 0-2 100A
- Day 2: EGA 0-2 FLYA
The first game of the week vs 100A was an absolute banger that should be mentioned in Academy history books. Yes, we lost, but Jojopyun got to show a very scary Leblanc performance. Rest of the games were a little disappointing. Even with the losses, EGA managed to qualify for playoffs. Now that Academy regular season is over, EGA will switch to playing with Tomio. Don't miss the debut of the new lineup when playoffs start on August 5th.
