The Boston Major winner joins the ranks of Evil Geniuses, reuniting with his former teammate from Cloud9, Jake “Stewie2K” Yip.
Evil Geniuses have signed Timothy “autimatic” Ta to their active CS:GO division, the North American organization announced today on their Twitter handle. This roster move does finally clear the air, previously filled with a plethora of reports leading to the 25 year-old’s fate after he was released from T1 Valorant earlier in January.
After calling quits on Counter Strike back in February 2021, autimatic has made a return to compete back professionally in Valve’s first person shooter, this time under the banner of Evil Geniuses alongside Stewie2K, Vincent “Brehze” Cayonte and Tsvetelin “CeRq” Dimitrov, mentored by ex-G2 Esports coach Damien “maLeK” Marcel.
Before signing up for Evil Geniuses CS:GO, autimatic spent almost a year at T1 Valorant only to step down from the roster towards the start of 2022. Before making the switch, the Boston major winner’s conquest for the glory started with Cloud9 when he joined the latter from Complexity and went on to win the said ELEAGUE Major trophy at Boston while he represented the Los Angeles based organization for three years. After being traded off to Gen.G along with Damian “Daps” Steele and Kenneth “Koosta” Suen, the Korean-American side triumphed at DreamHack Open Anaheim but were soon forced to transfer list the roster due to the difficulties impeded by the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
Recent reports from 1pv.fr and TalkEsport do suggest Evil Geniuses looking to round out their roster with yet another familiar face from the Cloud9 iteration, William “RUSH” Wierzba who is yet to be unveiled although his addition to the roster has already been teased by the team’s CEO, Nicole LaPointe Jameson.
With the addition of autimatic, Evil Geniuses are now:
- Vincent “Brehze” Cayonte
- Tsvetelin “CeRq” Dimitrov
- Jake “Stewie2K” Yip
- Timothy “autimatic” Ta
- Damien “maLeK” Marcel (Head coach)
