Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Evil Geniuses (EG) is a professional eSports organization that includes both divisions for traditional eSports games and a powerhouse fighting game division founded in 2010 and currently including multiple Evolution and major tournament winners. Currently, they also brand themselves as a "new media agency specializing in contracting professional gamers, creating online and offline video game broadcasts, and developing engaging marketing initiatives aimed at attracting and influencing gamers worldwide." On December 12th, 2016, Twitch spun-off Evil Geniuses and Alliance into player-owned organizations. Top professional Dota 2 player Peter "ppd" Dager was named CEO of Evil Geniuses. [1]

They entered the Super Smash Bros. Melee scene on May 9th, 2014, sponsoring PPMD.[2] On March 24th, 2017, Evil Geniuses would venture into Super Smash Bros. for Wii U with the signing of Midwest Diddy Kong player Zinoto.[3]
