Evil Geniuses managed one of the biggest upsets of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series<\/a> (LCS) on Saturday when they handed the reigning LCS champions, Cloud9, their second loss of the split.<\/p>\n

After a shaky start to their LCS 2020 Summer campaign, Evil Geniuses opted to make some changes to their LoL roster by\u00a0signing the ex-Golden Guardians mid laner Greyson “Goldenglue” Gilmer<\/a>\u00a0as a replacement for Daniele “Jiizuke” di Mauro. The removal of Jiizuke from their active roster also allowed EG to field Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon for the first time since they acquired the 2017 LoL World Championship grand finalist from Dignitas in May.<\/p>\n

With two LoL esports<\/a> veterans joining Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen, Bae “Bang” Jun-sik and Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam on the Evil Geniuses LCS roster, the expectations were high, so it was painful to see them lose to Team Liquid on Friday. But things took a sudden turn for the better in EG’s second match of the week, where they faced a Cloud9 side who had lost only one match out of 10 played.<\/p>\n

Even though the bout was billed as heavily one-sided, Evil Geniuses managed to hold their ground and went back and forth with Cloud9 for the first 24 minutes of the game. While Cloud9 managed to keep themselves ahead of EG throughout the early-mid game, it all came crashing down for Yasin \u201cNisqy\u201d Dincer and his crew at 31-minute mark when Evil Geniuses won a decisive teamfight near the dragon pit and made one final push into C9\u2019s base to end the game.<\/p>\n
