Gosugamers.net interviewed Evil Geniuses about the year behind us and what they expect from the new one.

One of the most dominant teams in 2010.

Evil Geniuses sat down with Gosugamers.net for an interview. They talked about their beginnings in Heroes of Newerth, how they all came together, what their best and worst experience so far was and a myriad of other topics.

So, how did the team come about originally as WHP and what do you guys feel about your initial dominance in the scene along with 5 at the beginning of 2010?

Orie 'YoDa' Guo

"Originally, bkid and I knew each other from DXD. We joined up and started playing with Pig and Fpigs (Fanta and NukeZ from DotA), and Cardinal and Dodo and a couple others also showed interest in playing with us competitively as well."

Jae Hyung 'Chu' Park

"Then I came along."

Orie 'YoDa' Guo

"After like GR1 (the first first tourney ever) we ran into chu in some pubs and played with him extensively and finally decided to recruit him as a farmer. His recruitment also pushed Dodo into recruitment. I think our dominance of early tournaments was really since we were the only ones with any tournament experience. Most other teams were just people who had been winning because the game was so young."

Jae Hyung 'Chu' Park

"Me and Dodo almost joined 143, but we finally decided to join WHP based on the Asian : White ratio."

Throughout 2010 you guys have had different challengers for the top spot in the scene, it was 5 in beta, PhB looked really strong beating you guys when they 1st emerged, DWi was very closely behind you at one point and we have today's MSI. If you guys could pick 1 period of time, who would have been your closest rivals of 2010?

Orie 'YoDa' Guo

"MSI is the only one that was ever really ahead so definitely them."

Allen 'FujiApples' Tu

"MSI they are very good players and strategists, we need to look into recruiting the fabled "euro slayer" KeonDa but he is more elusive than BigFoot."

Jae Hyung 'Chu' Park

"Our team was always really strong because of our team synergy. What we lacked and still lacking, is dedication and preparation for matches. We almost never strategize, never really scrim anymore, never talk seriously about what we could've done better both individually and as a team. This is definitely hurting our winning rate vs top teams such as MSI, but I truly believe with some time spent on strategizing, we have the potential to become unbeatable. If only we can spend some time seriously as a team..."
