EG locked in talks with zews - Report

Evil Geniuses are in advanced talks with Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado with a view to installing him as their new head coach, according to information first reported by DBLTAP and confirmed by HLTV.org.

The North American giants have made the Brazilian their number-one target to replace Chet "⁠Chet⁠" Singh, who was released last weekend following the breakdown of his relationship with Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz and Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik.

HLTV.org knows that zews has already come to an agreement with Evil Geniuses, with only a few details left to be ironed out before he can be formally announced.

zews looks poised to join EG as their new coach

This will be zews' second stint with a North American squad after previously guiding Liquid between November 2016 and December 2018. He took the squad to new heights in his final year, in which Liquid became a regular in the top five in the world rankings, won two trophies (cs_summit 2 and SuperNova CS:GO Malta) and competed in several Big Event title deciders.

He joined MIBR together with Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo in a deal that saw Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip move in the opposite direction but did not enjoy the same success that he had during his first stint with the team, under Luminosity and SK. He parted ways with the team last month, stating that the solutions to the problems that the squad is facing require "a bigger change to the roster and/or to its culture".

i dont think hltv is a site to talk about nations but since youre too xenophobic m.economictimes.com/news/international/w.. “Since the US is one of the nations most affected by COVID-19 virus, it would certainly fall in the category of nations badly affected by the pandemic that India seeks to help out by supplying HCQ. But we will have to wait for our orders,” the official said. LOL

Perhaps stanislaw wanted to incorperate a new system in liquid, something zews and the rest of the team didn't want. Maybe zews will just support stanislaw's philisophy to the game now. Sad that zews is going to EG, though. I wouldve loved to see him go back to liquid.

this won't end well, Stanislaw doesn't like Zews.

It's a great move and EG is out Liquiding Liquid at the moment. But I think this move needs to come with Tarik or Stan going. They are clearly poison together. Maybe one works. Maybe they both don't. But they have a great great core. If you could instill some leadership and decent support this team could rocket back up the rankings. I mean the potential is so high it's always a shock to me when they actually do lose. Good for them though. It's the right direction.

Remember when MIBR was Ranked #3 in the world, and then kicked YNK as coach for Zews? looks like karma has caught up with this bunch of assholes.

I wonder if Stanislaw and Zews talked it out before this. Last time they were on a team was liquid, and Stanislaw didn't hide his feelings towards Zews

He's going to get in a fight with Stanislaw and Tarik, there's gonna be a roster change 3 months after this guaranteed.

I think it’s a good coach. But im curious what will occur between stanislaw and zews. Hope they can work something out otherwise this won’t last.
