Evil Geniuses has officially announced its return to the Game Changers circuit for the 2026 season, fielding a fully Brazilian lineup.
Evil Geniuses (EG) has announced its comeback to the Game Changers circuit three years after its disbandment. In 2026, the American organization is returning with a full Brazilian roster, with former MIBR members. They will be competing on the Game Changer Brazil.
Evil Geniuses returns to Game Changers
The organization made its debut in the Game Changers circuit in the 2022 season, but didn’t find success both regionally and on the international stage. Although the team managed to qualify for the 2023 Game Changers Championship, their run was cut short in the quarterfinals. They disbanded in 2023.
Evil Geniuses returns stronger than ever for the 2026 season with a completely revamped roster. The lineup features an all-Brazilian squad built around the former Gênias do Bem core, including three players who previously competed under MIBR GC in 2025. The coaching staff has come from KRÜ Blaze. The full lineup is:
- allie
- Giulia “lissa” Lissa
- Camila “sayuri” Obam
- Nicolas “srN” Niederauer
- Vitória “vii” Rabelo
- Beatriz “Bebesita” Hornes (head coach)
- João “jvsz” Vitor (assistant coach)
As previous Gênias do Bem, the team had its first experience in the season at the VALORANT Game Changers 2026: Brazil Kickoff. They placed third and were eliminated by the 2025 Game Changers Championship, Team Liquid Brazil, who had later secured their historic qualification for the Challengers Brazil. Now, as Evil Geniuses, the team will play against MIBR GC in the Game Changers Brazil Stage 1 on April 14.
Three of the players, lissa, sayuri, and srN, previously competed under MIBR GC in 2025, where they played a key role in securing the region’s best international result to date. The Americas claimed the top four spots, solidifying their status as one of the strongest regions in the world. It was also the first time a Latin American team won the title.
