SumaiL Loses Lawsuit Against Evil Geniuses
Former professional Dota 2 player, Syed “SumaiL” Hassan, has recently lost his legal case against Evil Geniuses (EG) and Peak6. The case, which lasted for over two years, involved allegations of breach of contract and other issues concerning the organization and its handling of contract negotiations, ownership, and buyouts.
The lawsuit was initially reported by Richard Lewis in March 2023. According to legal documents, SumaiL claimed that EG exploited his youth, naivety, and vulnerability during the contract negotiations. However, after the case went to trial in February, the presiding jury returned a verdict on March 1 in favor of EG and Peak6. The jury stated that the organizations were not obligated to address these allegations.
