When Evil Geniuses were selected as one of the North American franchised teams for the 2023 VCT Season, a lot of questions came flying around about this decision. Not only did they secure the Grand Final of their first-ever Masters tournament, but they also managed to win the biggest Valorant trophy of this year by securing the Grand Final victory at Champions 2023.

The Grand Final Best of 5 started with a map veto advantage for Paper Rex as the winner of the Upper Final, and still, Evil Geniuses were able to defeat the Pacific Kings in a dominating 3-1 series.

Alexander “jawgemo” Mor from the North American side secured the highest number of kills in the series with an 85-62 K-D, and his incredible performance on Lotus helped EG close out the Bo5 on the fourth map. He is undoubtedly one of the best Raze players of 2023.
