Evil Geniuses Evil Geniuses North America Rank #19 Derrek Derrek Ha NaturE Nicholas Garrison supamen Phat Le announced on Twitter/X that they have released most of their reserve roster, but will allow Kyle "ScrewFace" Jensen to explore options.

In a video, Senior Director of Gaming & Performance Lindsey "GamerDoc" Migliore said that the five reserve players "will be available at the start of the next season at absolutely no buyout." GamerDoc also said Evil Geniuses are unsure what their reserve program will be come 2024.

BcJ played just four matches with EG, after which he was replaced by rookie Max "Demon1" Mazanov in the starting roster.

The reserve roster then spent the year behind the scenes, furthering the potential of the starting EG roster.
