LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. – January 4th, 2011. – Today Evil Geniuses (EG), North America’s premiere professional gaming team and a world leader in e-Sports, has announced they have officially signed well-known English StarCraft II player Benjamin “DeMusliM” Baker to the team. Baker, which was one of two invited European representatives at BlizzCon 2010, is departing his former team mTw after being acquired by EG for an undisclosed sum.

DeMusliM is the first player from Evil Geniuses to compete in the European StarCraft II league EPS and will be joining his new teammates Greg “IdrA” Fields, Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen, Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson, and others in competing both nationally and internationally in 2011 under the Team EG name.

“I am thrilled to announce that henceforth I shall be playing under the prestigious Evil Geniuses banner. I would like to thank the mTw management team for all their support, encouragement, and their professional cooperation during my transfer. Also, I would like to wish my friends (ex-teammates) a very successful year unless of course they face me in upcoming tournaments!” Benjamin remarked.

“We are very excited to welcome Ben to the team,” commented Alex Garfield, Executive Director of Evil Geniuses. “…there’s no doubt [Ben] will not only be a perfect fit for Team EG, but also an essential part of the team’s continued success in 2011.”
