Bigfoot Networks Featured eSports Team: Evil Geniuses
When it comes to eSports in North America, there can be little doubt that the number one name to know is Evil Geniuses. Since they were founded in 1999, they have been proving that they truly are the premiere professional gaming team in North America. Recently, EG became one of Bigfoot Network's Sponsored Teams, and they are the first team that we will be highlighting in this new feature.
Specializing in titles such as Counter-Strike, StarCraft, Quake, Team Fortress 2, and WarCraft 3, some of the main staples of eSports competitions, Evil Geniuses is comprised of fifty of the best gamers in the world. While they may be based in North America with players located in both the United States and Canada, they've been proving that they are one of the top teams in professional gaming world wide. Just check out this list of recent top placements from 2009:
| -1st Place, ESEA League Season 2 (Counter-Strike) – Online -1st Place, GomTV Invitational (WarCraft 3: Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen) – Online -1st Place, eStars Seoul (WarCraft 3: Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen) – Seoul, Korea -1st Place, ESEA League Season 3 (Counter-Strike) – Dallas, TX -1st Place, QuakeCon (QuakeLive CTF) – Dallas, TX -2nd Place, Blizzcon (WarCraft 3: Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen) – Anaheim, CA -1st Place, GameGune Mexico (Counter-Strike) – Mexico City, Mexico -1st Place, World Cyber Games USA (Counter-Strike) – New York, NY -5th Place, DreamHack Winter (Counter-Strike) – Jonkopping, Sweden -3rd Place, Arbalet Cup (Counter-Strike) – Stockholm, Sweden -1st Place, Intel Extreme Masters NA Finals (QuakeLive: Tim “DaHang” Fogarty) – Edmonton, Canada -3rd Place, Intel Extreme Masters NA Finals (QuakeLive: Chance Lacina) – Edmonton, Canada -1st Place, Intel Extreme Masters NA Finals (Counter-Strike) – Edmonton, Canada-1st Place, World eSports Masters (WarCraft 3: Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen |
Wins like this highlight the level of professionalism and mastery of gaming shown by members of Evil Geniuses, and Bigfoot Networks is proud to be among their sponsors. No doubt 2010 will be a great year for them as well, now that they are playing with the best online gaming network cards out there, as well stated by the president of Evil Geniuses, Alexander Garfield:
“Terms like lag and ping have been the obsessions of PC gamers for going on two decades, and when you’re competing in an eSports tournament for tens of thousands of dollars, the advantage of just one millisecond can be enough to push you to the top of the podium. Partnering with Bigfoot Networks allows us to give our pro gamers a competitive edge by supplying them all with the awe-inducing Killer™ Xeno Pro. We’re looking forward to seeing our top teams and players bring in more championships in 2010, both in North America and around the world, with the help of Bigfoot Networks.”
