Evil Geniuses enter Valorant with mixed-gender roster

Evil Geniuses has made the Valorant competitive scene much more exciting after the organization announced it'll be joining the community with the hopes of reaching great heights in 2021 and beyond, doing so with a mixed-gender roster.

Originally teased via a quick Twitter clip with the EG logo, Valorant fans were quick to spot that the little distortion effects were eerily similar to the ones Riot Games uses as part of the tactical shooter's brand while promoting the game on social media.

The members of the team are:

• Christine "Potter" Chi
• Nolan "Temperature" Pepper
• Aleksandar Hinojosa
• Ronan "Osias" Javelona
• Claudia "Clawdia" Che
