JERAX AND NIGHTFALL JOIN EG DOTA

Today we have the privilege of announcing the newest additions to the Evil Geniuses Dota 2 roster: Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka and Egor “Nightfall” Grigorenko.

Widely regarded as one of the best support players to ever play Dota, Jesse is returning to professional play following his retirement in January 2020. Known for his Earth Spirit, Tusk, and Rubick play, JerAx won back-to-back International’s as a member of the OG roster in 2018 & 2019.

The first chance to see the team compete together will be on November 29th for the North American Dota Pro Circuit Tour 1 hosted by ESL. We hope that fans are not only excited for the new faces to represent EG in our Midnight Blue, but also the new approach to strategy and preparation that comes with a revamped roster.

Every time I see bulba, I start losing hope in them winning TI

[hlruqmp]

Eg killing Russian top tier cores lmao

[wifreeu]

No one is questioning Jerax's skills. He may a bit rusty but we know how well he plays when he's in the zone. It's more of people questioning the coach lmao

[RyanMK]

God I remember when I first heard this, as an OG fan this felt like the ultimate betrayal by Jerax, like of all teams he could have joined it’s the ONE team OG and the fans hate the most?

[Immersed]

Where Jerax goes, I follow. He is my all-time favorite player, and the ABSOLUTE best pos4 to ever play the game. It's really not even close, in my opinion. Can't wait to see what he does as a 5. Guess I'm an EG fan now

EG: Let's destroy another VP player's career
Ramzes666: wut?
Nightfall: wut?
EG: wut?

[Trattpingvin]

I'm really excited about the future of this team!

[boxvaldis]

Wow, that’s unexpected, Jerax joining EG

[playmates]

i love jerax when his teamates retired so he can play now the respect he have he dont want to play against OG former team

[Nightcrawla]

The million-dollar question: Who plays ES?

[Naimira]

THIS IS AMAZING! It was really sad to see both Fly and Ice leave the team, but this is some INCREDIBLE news! Can't wait to see what the future has in store for this new roster! ❤️

[tooeasy]

Nothing change if we still have Bulba in the team.

[ahmadcitaprisma]

i think everything not gonna change as long as bulba still coaching and drafting for EG, not gonna lie, the roster seems so good on a paper, but the coach... pls, just kick thah bulba

[Castle]

Still won't win anything if Bulba's the one drafting. EG seems to never learn from their mistakes

[gagomeganonph]

Me: Dont give me hope!

Jerax: I'm back!!

[x-x]

Omg
Jerax is my ultimate bias in dota
I love seeing him play in OG and liquid but i cannot imagine he will play in EG😅

[sakibabrar]

Here's an idea Bulba: give Jerax storm spirit or void spirit every match. And see how he does.

[TuckshopMedia]

besides the fact that Jerax joined EG after his bois topson and notail retired, like what Cr1t said - he's an idol for most dota players, so wishing him all the best and hope that bulba don't screw this team up anymore with his drafting

[SonSon-pgnj]

My only concern in this team is Nightfall. I'm excited to see how he play position 3. Wish iceiceice was still in EG tho.

[dThapa]

I can't believe what we're seeing! What just happened!?
