Evil Geniuses revealed their VALORANT roster for VCT 2026, led by returning player C0M, who will now be IGL-ing.
Corbin Daniel "C0M" Lee is making a return to Evil Geniuses as the org rebuilds, seeking the Championship trophy once again. Here is the full roster that Evil Geniuses has to work with for the VCT 2026 circuit.
"EG C0M is back." - EG VALORANT roster for 2026
Evil Geniuses announced their VALORANT roster for 2026 through a video titled "Absolute Cinemasterclass."
- Head coach: Christine "potter" Chi
- Phat "supamen" Le
- Banh "bao" Bao
- Corbin Daniel "C0M" Lee
- Douglas "dgzin" Silva
- Anthony "okeanos" Nguyen
First, the things we already knew before the reveal. Head coach potter remains in her spot, and so does Phat "supamen" Le. potter has been with the organization since 2021, and she now aims to mold this new roster into a form fit for international contention.
Luckily, she'll have a familiar face to help her out: C0M. While he was not the IGL when EG won Champs back in 2023, C0M's experience is surely a great asset to have on their side.
Regarding his return and his new role, C0M says he is excited. "[I'm] excited to join Evil Geniuses and take on a new role of IGL. Excited to do it with this group of people and make an impact in a new way both in-game and out-of-game," wrote C0M. "Big year to show not only that I deserve to be here but also to where I can win another trophy. Sense of nostalgia being back with the organization that I won a championship with in 2023."
This group will surprise you guys in 2026 and if you don’t believe that then we will prove y’all wrong. Also believe in the organization and what they have improved on over these last couple of years.
EG C0M is back. See you in VCT 2026.
This move also keeps him with his fellow ex-LEV player, okeanos. The two briefly teamed up this year for the EWC Americas Qualifier and VCT Stage 2, but received middling results. Now that C0M and okeanos are continuing their careers together, they can try again for better results in 2026.
The Brazilian dgzin is a pickup from Team Solid, who left him a touching message.
"Every beginning has an end, and today the herd bids farewell to a star who leaves us with nothing but gratitude," the post read. "We wish you every success, Dg! May you shine brighter and brighter and put Brazil where it deserves to be: at the top. See you soon, defusing and planting the spike on the server."
Dgzin has been part of many teams, with the most prominent ones being FURIA Esports and LOUD.
On the other hand, bao is a rookie pickup from SaD Esports, but he also spent a short amount of time with M80 earlier this year. As EG makes a bid for international events in 2026, many eyes will be watching bao as he adjusts to competing in a tier-one environment.
You can witness this new Evil Geniuses lineup in the VCT 2026 Americas Kickoff, beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
