In a statement made on their site, Evil Geniuses has made a crucial change to their line-up.
The North American LCS is more competitive than ever before; with that, changes needed to be made. While other lanes are currently unaffected, Peter 'Yellowpete' Wüppen will no longer be on the starting line-up. Evil Geniuses support Krepo will have to adjust to playing with a new marksman, after losing his duo lane partner of about three years.
Yellowpete has maintained a positive attitude about the situation and will stick around as a personality and a substitute for EG while his shoes will be filled by Altec, a powerful challenger-tier ADC said to rival the strength of LCS carries. Here is a statement from Yellowpete on the situation:
I want to thank the team for the great time I have had with them over the last split – even though our results left much to be desired, I can confidently say this period of time has been extremely enjoyable for me. I liked playing competitively with this team, but what's even more important to me is its success. There is no arguing about the fact that my performance within the last couple of months has not been what I want or the team needs it to be. After closely watching the tryouts period, I believe that this is a change that can have a positive effect on the team's performance. Altec is a very talented, young player whom I could see a lot of growth in and I'm looking forward to helping him transition into the LCS from the Challenger scene. Personally, I will use the rest of the season to do whatever I can to assist the team in being successful and reaching Worlds.
