At the Mid-Season Invitational, EG ended their campaign with a top-four finish. <\/p>\n<p>They also secured qualification for the group stage at the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/league-of-legends\/worlds\/\" title=\"LoL Worlds betting\">LoL World Championship<\/a>, where they placed 11th-14th with a 1-5 record. Prior to the 2022 LCS season, Evil Geniuses were yet to make an appearance at the Mid-Season Invitational or the Worlds.<\/p>\n<p>According to the LoL global contract database, Impact&#8217;s contract is due to expire on November 22. On that date, the 27-year-old will move into unrestricted free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Although Evil Geniuses will be retaining the bulk of the successful 2022 lineup for the 2023 season, the top lane will be a focus as they look to strengthen the roster. Previous reports have suggested that the vacant spot is to be filled by the current 100 Thieves Academy top laner Milan &#8220;Tenacity&#8221; Oleksij.<\/p>\n<p>Also up for grabs at EG is the AD carry spot, as Kyle &#8220;Danny&#8221; Sakamaki &#8212; whose absence from the team is reported to roll over into the 2023 season &#8212; is on the chopping block. The franchise&#8217;s interim ADC, Muhammed &#8220;Kaori&#8221; Hasan \u015eent\u00fcrk, is reported to be on his way to join French franchise Karmine Corp in the LFL. EG are said to have struck a verbal agreement with 100 Thieves bot laner Victor &#8220;FBI&#8221; Huang.<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of Tenacity and FBI to the previous roster, Evil Geniuses are expected to run a solid campaign in the 2023 season. Every player on the current roster &#8212; jungler Kacper &#8220;Inspired&#8221; S\u0142oma, mid laner Joseph &#8220;Jojopyun&#8221; Pyun, and Philippe &#8220;Vulcan&#8221; Laflamme &#8212; was awarded with All-Pro honors for the 2022 LCS Summer.<\/p>\n<p>Impact should have no problems landing himself a new home with a scorching resume of nine championship titles, including the 2013 LoL World Championship under the banner of T1. He also finished as runner-up at the Mid-Season Invitational with Team Liquid.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports
