The CS:GO professional left the scene last year to pursue Valorant.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 20 January 2022

After previously retiring from professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to instead pursue a career in competitive Valorant, Timothy "autimatic" Ta has announced that he is coming out of retirement, and has already signed with an esports organisation.

Following yesterday's announcement that Jacky "Stewie2K" Yip is joining Evil Geniuses as part of an acquisition from Team Liquid, we now know that Autimatic will be once again teaming up with Stewie2K, as the formerly retired professional has officially joined the team.

With this in mind, Evil Geniuses now has a full roster, assuming coach Damien "maLeK" Marcel continues to fill in the fifth role. With the team expected to be appearing in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups next week, we might get one final announcement as Evil Geniuses secures a confirmed fifth member for its 2022 CS:GO campaign.
