Kyle has played a key role in EG’s success this year at the LCS and there are not enough words to express his undeniable value to this team and organization. We at Evil Geniuses are more than just an organization, we are a family. We fight together, win together, lose together and support each other in any situation.

We ask fans of the LCS community to give Kyle the unconditional support and sympathy he deserves from all of us.
