The Onramp and the EG clan were very popular in the emerging gaming circuit, being on the West Coast and having access to a T1 internet connection while the rest of the world was still on dial-up. </p><p>Many new members located in Seattle joined the clan and would regularly spar with members of DR including the world's first pro gamer, Thresh. </p><p>Members from both the Canadian and American roster were present during the 1997 Gameworks Tournament with access to the gaming lounge. Canadian players were not admitted into the tournament at the time due to the nascent pro gaming circuit, but were allowed to warm up with the contestants. </p><p>When the Underground Onramp closed, shortly after the release of modern home broadband internet, most of the Canadian roster went on to new careers, some into game development and still work in the gaming industry to this day. Meanwhile, the American roster flourished and went on to become one of the greatest gaming clans in the history of esports. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a> native and future CEO Alex Garfield started working for the team in 2004.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Evil Geniuses expanded into <i><a href="/wiki/World_of_Warcraft" title="World of Warcraft">World of Warcraft</a></i> (WoW) Arena by acquiring HukHukHukHukHuk<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="margin-left:0.1em; white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon.
