Although both players joined the team on November 23, just a day after leaving 100 Thieves, the time frames of their contracts vary. Ssumday’s contract expires on November 19, 2024, while FBI��s run until November 18, 2025.

The two players join an Evil Geniuses roster that also includes Canadian mid laner Joseph “Jojopyun” Pyun, Poland jungler Kacper “Inspired” S?oma, support Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme, all of whom were signed to the team in November 2021, and Turkish bot laner Muhammed Hasan “Kaori” ?ent��rk, who joined the team in September this year.

Kyle “Danny” Sakamaki, who was also on the team’s active roster, has been making news for his absence leading into the 2023 League of Legends season. The Chief Executive Officer of Evil Geniuses, Nicole LaPointe Jameson, said the American bot laner was taking a break due to his mental health but is still part of the team.

“One of these changes is related to our ADC role, which rightfully raises questions around the status of Danny,” Jameson said.

“While he won��t be starting with us this split, I��m happy to say he is still an Evil Genius and we continue to support him.”

So far, Evil Geniuses and Golden Guardians are the only LCS teams to have locked in their rosters for the 2023 season.

?Reports suggest that the Australian player will become the starting marksman for Evil Geniuses next season. FBI is said to be replacing EG��s resident bot laner, Kyle ��Danny�� Sakamaki.

Evil Geniuses are reported to have paid FBI��s buyout fee, with his new contract having the same terms as the previous deal with 100T.? The move will see EG complete their LCS roster for the 2023 season.

FBI will be teaming up with jungler Kacper ��Inspired�� S?oma, mid laner Joseph ��Jojopyun�� Pyun and support Philippe ��Vulcan�� Laflamme, all of whom will continue on their run with the franchise. The roster has also been reported to include current 100 Thieves top laner Milan “Tenacity” Oleksij in the starting position.? ?

FBI started off his career with the Australian esports franchise Order in 2017. He spent a year with them before joining the Bombers, where he spent six months.

He moved to North America and spent another six months with the Golden Guardians�� academy team.? ?During the 2019 offseason, he was promoted to the main team as a reward for his form.

The Guardians had a quiet campaign in 2019, and the offseason led to the 23-year-old being acquired by 100T.? ?His time with the franchise has seen him develop into one of the best AD carries in the NA region.

In the 2022 season, FBI finished with the fifth-most kills in the LCS Spring. He also recorded the second-most kills during the Summer Split as 100 Thieves finished in second place in both tournaments.?

?FBI��s LCS Summer kills were only surpassed by the bot laner he is on course to replace, Danny. The 18-year-old has been described as arguably the next best domestic talent behind the legendary Yiliang ��Doublelift�� Peng.

Danny has in a short time wowed fans and the League of Legends community, having recorded some of the most memorable highlights in the history of the league while representing the 100T in the playoffs.? However, his good run was marred by personal issues as the young star announced he will be stepping away from the competitive space in a bid to ��focus on his mental health��.

Danny is yet to return to the team after being absent during the LCS Summer Playoffs series against Team Liquid.
