Evil Geniuses acquires female CS:GO roster

North American esports organization Evil Geniuses has expanded its presence in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with a new female roster. The team includes female esports players from China, Canada and the United States, according to information revealed by the club.

EG signed members of the little-known American club Sacrifice, including their coach. This mix is only a newbie on the pro CS:GO scene as they played only three matches under the former tag. However, Evil Geniuses seems to admit the team’s competitive potential. 

With this acquisition, tt seems like Evil Geniuses has decided to dive deeper into the female professional esports scene. At the beginning of August, they also acquired a women’s Valorant roster, which debuted under the club’s tag at the recent 2022 Astral Clash Finals and took first place. 

What about the players? 

Kiara “milk” Makua is the most experienced and eminent player on the new EG women’s team. She has been on the professional CS:GO scene since December 2017, when she defended the Team Dignitas Female title for four years before joining Sacrifice. 

As part of Dignitas Female, milk has taken the first spot at 2018 GIRLGAMER Esports Festival and placed second at the 2019 GIRLGAMER Esports Festival. But the most important achievement can surely be called the champions title at the Intel Challenge Katowice 2018 and 2019, all with the same Dignitas squad. 

Since 2020, milk has left CS:GO and tried her powers on the Valorant pro scene, however,  EG made her return to the previous discipline. The other girls entered professional esports only this year, moreover, for empathy and Jesscas, those three games for Sacrifice was actually their first professional experience.
