Col is now EG





In a press release on 14th december, Alex Garfield, owner of the Evil Geniuses' organization, announced a historic team shuffle. The new team goes like this :

  • Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert
  • Danny "fRod" Montaner
  • Matt "Warden" Dickens
  • Tyler "Storm" Wood
  • Corey "hanes" Hanes

Shocked !!!! Yah man EG has hired 4 of the Col guys to be part of their CS team. After the downfall CGS (no doubt source sucks !! and I knew it was gonna happen some day), it was obvious that Col was goin to return to 1.6, And here they are.


The basic outline of this team as told by frod in an interview will be :

  • Warden : no doubt he is the cap, as expected warden is the strat caller and he will also will be playing his role as an aggressive gunner.
  • Frod : The star of stars ..the prime AWPer.
  • Storm : Will continue to support the team with his rifle skills.(He always remind me of the colt obsession).
  • Hanes : Known for his fast acrobatic movements is another gunner for the team.
  • Nothing : the young-blood.. he will again be an aggressive gunner.to what he calls as "Runnin and gunnin".

When asked about Rambo not being the part of this new team frod responded "Our team has always had a formula and certain way we approach the game in terms of strategy, teamwork, and etc. This has been a defined formula that we as a team know is proven to work, going all the way back to the success of United 5 in 2003. We have always had every member of the team follow their certain role, and in doing so we feel we are most successful. Ron was a great player, but he didn't fit well with the formula, nor did he adjust to it, which made things difficult sometimes".

We hope Nothing fits well as United 5. Even Nothing was happy with his new team-mates showing a slight negative response for old EG.He commented "It just wasn't working out. As much as I liked those guys, we weren't seeing eye to eye anymore and I'm looking forward to playing with the new EG players."

Now when this great line up is ready we hope they rock the world. Regarding performance no one must doubt them.They are few of the most senior players in the e-sports scene. Regarding 1.6 .. its their true game. They stood second in CEVO 9 and won CGS Pro-am 1.6. And that was when their main focus was on source . Now hope they shine again ...

Best of luck Col ..ooops!! Sorry .. EG

Best of luck for 2009.
