Evil Geniuses Evil Geniuses North America Rank #21 Derrek Derrek Ha NaturE Nicholas Garrison supamen Phat Le icy Jacob Lange yay Jaccob Whiteaker is parting ways with longtime player Vincent "Apoth" Le.

Before joining Evil Geniuses, Apoth played for North American Challengers teams Renegades Renegades Inactive and VIRTUOSO VIRTUOSO Inactive King Aiden King Eley Zach Stauffer DBK Dylan Bazic-Kulangiev Blahst Nathan Brand snxper Louis Lama , with those tenures coming before franchising. He made his professional Valorant debut in 2020.

Apoth spent three seasons with the organization but was not a starter for his entire tenure. In 2022 with Apoth as a starter, Evil Geniuses competed in North America Challengers. In Stage 1, they were eliminated in the group stage, and in Stage 2, they finished 5th-6th, failing to qualify for a single international event. In the 2022 season, Apoth played as EG's Controller player, not shying away from any agent but most often playing Omen or Viper.

As VCT entered a new era of franchising in 2023 EG's roster swelled to, at one point, ten players. That season, the team achieved a third-place finish in the Americas League, qualifying to Masters Tokyo, where they finished second to European powerhouses FNATIC FNATIC Europe Rank #4 crashies Austin Roberts Boaster Jake Howlett kaajak Kajetan Haremski Chronicle Timofey Khromov Alfajer Emir Ali Beder . Then, at Champions Los Angeles, they became the first North American team to lift an international trophy in Valorant's history.

Shortly after Champions, EG released their entire reserve roster, which included Apoth. However, their paths would cross again soon when they signed him as their fifth player for the 2024 season.

With a nearly new-look team taking to the stage after three of their starters were poached away, role changes were inevitable for EG and Apoth. He almost exclusively played the Sentinel role as Killjoy or Cypher, while occasionally playing Controller as part of a double Controller team composition. The 2024 season saw EG fail to qualify not just for any international events, but any playoffs within the Americas region, too.
