Former Evil Geniuses Dota 2 star Syed “SumaiL” Hassan has lost his case regarding a breach of contract and other allegations against the organization and Peak6 on all counts following more than two years of legal proceedings.
First reported in March 2023 by Richard Lewis, legal documents detailing an ongoing lawsuit between SumaiL and EG centered around allegations that the org “took advantage of a young, naïve and vulnerable” player when dealing with contract negotiations, ownership in the company, and buyouts. The case was taken to trial in February, and a verdict levied by the presiding jury on March 1 ruled in favor of EG and Peak6 while citing that neither group needed to answer for these claims, according to Lewis.
