"He's not just another European player - he's popular, well-spoken, marketable, and performs well," explained Freytag. "The only other player in Europe like him with this combination of skills is... Grubby."
Alongside the addition of Benjamin, Evil Geniuses' Greg 'IdrA' Fields recently confirmed that the organisation are working on a base in South Korea where their Starcraft 2 players will be able to prepare for and compete in competitions such as the Global Starcraft 2 League and the Global Starcraft 2 Team League. Freytag echoed Fields and told us that there was nothing new to make public with regards to their Korean base but revealed that the organisation plan to send Baker to South Korea. When asked he simply told us, "Yes, absolutely!"
Evil Geniuses now field a very impressive Starcraft 2 roster and with their plans for a Korean base, it is very possible that we may see them trying to qualify for the GSTL. However, as content as management may be with their roster, Freytag warns that it's possible we may see more additions in the future.

5 days ago they signed him and I think we all guessed why. Now here's confirmation.
Other than DeMuslim going to Korea, it's really cool to hear EG talking about big plans beyond that. Plans for a house and new acquisitions in the foreseeable future? If this means another foreign team with a significant presence in Korea, I'm pretty excited.
Of course, the question of 'can they seriously compete?' comes up but they just teased us about a volatile roster. Long term, assuming some significant skilled additions might be in order, but also using the core they've got now - yeah. Fuck yeah. God damn I hope so.
