According to sources, Evil Geniuses filed a formal complaint with the ESL after a tournament operator made fun of them in a segment of the Pro League.

Deleted Scenes is the segment name where the operator mocks the team. This broadcast segment is designed to be less formal than the match broadcast; however, it is also a format overseen by the ESL Pro League.

ESL Pro League broadcast comedy segment

The episode for which a complaint has been filed with the ESL occurred last February 24, which included improvised comedy. On that occasion, the show participants were asked to stand up and say the first comment from different events that came to their minds.

Among the comments made at that time were things you wouldn’t hear at an EG camp and comments that would never be said at a FaZe casting call.

The jokes they told that day were very risqué where they made fun of the team’s decisions and performance. For example, one of the jokes was:

“Folks, this season can go well, talk to the management, and they have sent out a bunch of tweets that will get us off to a good start this year.”

Then they add it’s getting really cold, and if anyone has money to burn and heat the place. They also say they might be okay if the team brings in 14 new players.

Like this type of joke, there were many more that made direct reference to the Evil Geniuses team. In response to the jokes made during the broadcast, Evil Geniuses filed a formal complaint; the team claims this action is detrimental to the brand.

However, during the broadcast, there was some mockery of other teams, but Evil Geniuses was the only one to file a complaint. According to a source, after that, all commentators were asked to be polite to the team, and the section was no longer held during the event.

Negative headlines about Evil Geniuses

Recently Evil Geniuses has been caught up in many negative headlines about the organization. Among the headlines are allegations of alleged mistreatment of workers; the team was ridiculed due to its recent sponsorship with the Chevron oil brand.

On the other hand, the team has not had very good results in recent seasons. As a result, evil Geniuses has been in last place in the ESL Pro League for five consecutive seasons.

However, according to the ESL conditions, the team should be under review to determine its stay in the league. But instead, the ESL seems to reward them by inviting them to IEM Dallas as local heroes.

The team recently issued a statement acknowledging that the CS:GO team has not delivered the best results. However, they do not mention Kyle “Danny” Sakamaki’s accusations.
