Rumors: Shakezullah will join the coaching staff of the main team of Evil Geniuses

According to the Dust2 portal, the North American esports organization Evil Geniuses intends to sign Shakezullah as an assistant head coach. The 25-year-old American will return to the coaching chair a few years later after his experience with Ben's Anime Team and Chaos EC.

Shakezullah will reportedly join the first team coaching staff and will work alongside Vorborg and maLeK. The 25-year-old American has already arrived in Europe, where he is helping the roster prepare for the imminent start of BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023. At the time of publication of the material, the parties did not comment on the rumors.

Shakezullah gained fame thanks to his performances for the Triumph and Bad News Bears teams, with whom he managed to win ESEA Season 33: Premier Division - North America Finals and Fragadelphia 15, as well as reach the finals of Intel Extreme Masters XV - Beijing Online: North America. In addition, last year the 25-year-old American took part in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022: American RMR.

However, Shakezullah also managed to try on the role of a coach in the past, leading the Ben's Anime Team and Chaos EC. However, then he did not manage to achieve great success, as a result of which the American decided to return to the server as a player.

Now Evil Geniuses is trying to put together a powerful coaching staff to prepare for the new competitive season. Last week, the North American organization made changes in its composition, eliminating CeRq. In addition, the club will test potential newcomers in practice, experimenting with the composition during the next matches.

Currently, the North American team is preparing for the start of BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023. Here, Evil Geniuses got into the same group along with Heroic, Astralis and Team Vitality. Then the team will travel to Poland, where they will perform at the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023.
