After a six-month break from the team, Tal "Fly" Aizik returns to Evil Geniuses for the last tour of the DPC 2021-22 season.
It was only a few days ago that Evil Geniuses made the announcement that they were bidding farewell to back-to-back, two-time The International Championship player Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka.
JerAx had joined the team six months ago at the start of the new DPC 2021-22 season, assuming the position left open by the departure of Tal "Fly" Aizik.
Now it seems that Fly is JerAx's replacement, resuming his position and role within the North American team.

Fly parted ways with EG at the start of the new season when he went to SEA region and played with Damien "kpii" Chok and Kim "Gabbi" Villafuerte in Talon Esports.
After a very unsuccessful two months with the team, Fly returned to North America and sat out the Spring Tour.
Although the first Tour didn’t go smoothly for EG, the NA team was back on top in the Spring Tour, finishing first in the regional leagues after winning a three-way tiebreaker with TSM FTX and Quincy Crew.
At ESL One Stockholm this month, EG were regarded by many as the main contender for the title, but ended up being the first team to be eliminated from the Major with an abysmal 2-10 game record.
Evil Geniuses current roster
- Artour “Arteezy” Babaev
- Abed Azel “Abed” Yusop
- Egor “Nightfall” Grigorenko
- Andreas “Cr1t-” Nielsen
