Of all those teams, EG are best known for their output in Dota 2, Call of Duty and CS:GO.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Evil Geniuses teams will drop their long-time logo, which combines the letters E and G, for a more ominous, text-based version with a large &#8216;V&#8217; as the centrepiece.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;s time for a new decade of EVIL.<\/p>\n<p>2020 isn&#39;t ready for us. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LIVEEVIL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LIVEEVIL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/spCwp9uiVM\">pic.twitter.com\/spCwp9uiVM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Evil Geniuses (@EvilGeniuses) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EvilGeniuses\/status\/1205200648486236160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>The new logo surfaced late last week alongside the unveiling of the new jerseys which will be worn by EG&#8217;s players. The updated kits are emblazoned with the new visual identity of the organisation alongside the logos of EG&#8217;s sponsors: Monster Energy, Xfinity, Twitch, Razer, FVBET, AMD and NEEDforSEAT.<\/p>\n<p>Evil Geniuses were acquired by PEAK6 Investments LCC in May 2019 in a move that saw Nicole LaPointe Jameson installed as CEO. That has triggered a series of significant changes within the organisation, including the decision to purchase the entire NRG CS:GO roster in September after seven years away from Counter-Strike esports. EG will also end their five-year hiatus from League of Legends esports in 2020 after buying out Echo Fox&#8217;s slot in the <a href=\"\/league-of-legends\/championship-series\/\" title=\"LCS betting\">LoL Championship Series<\/a> (LCS).<\/p>\n<p>Evil Geniuses are not the only major esports group to update their branding in recent times. NRG Esports, Complexity Gaming, Excel Esports, MAD Lions, and even the <a href=\"\/electronic-sports-league\/\" title=\"ESL esports tournaments\">Electronic Sports League<\/a> (ESL) will all step into the New Year with new looks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evil Geniuses, one of the oldest organisations in the world esports scene, have revealed a new slogan, new jerseys and new logo with the hashtag #LIVEEVIL as part of their rebrand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":9670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[647,262,4,745],"class_list":["post-9667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ca","tag-evil-geniuses","tag-featured","tag-north-america"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9667"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9667"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9671,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9667\/revisions\/9671"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
