Ihor MatusEvil Geniuses will skip DreamHack Masters Winter 2020. Players from Cloud9 will take their place in the list of participants. This is not the first European tournament for EG, which the team is forced to miss. Earlier it became known that the team will not be able to attend the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020 Showdown. Heroic will take their place there.
Cloud9 will face off against Gambit Esports in the first match of the group stage. The meeting will take place on the evening of November 30th. DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 will run from November 30 to December 6, with a total prize pool of $ 150,000. How the funds will be distributed among the teams is currently unknown, but we do know that the winner will take 400 ESL Pro Tour rating points.
Evil Geniuses will not be able to attend any European event anytime soon. The club's management said that the reason for this is the restrictions in the EU countries, introduced due to the coronavirus pandemic.
