Team Evil Geniuses signs Kevin "PPMD" Nanney

[TaFoKiNtS]

What an exciting week for Smash related news! Today, Evil Geniuses (EG) has officially added Kevin "PPMD" Nanney to the team. Evil Geniuses is a major eSports organization that also boasts other fighting game players such as Justin Wong, Ricky Ortiz, and Eduardo "PR-Balrog" Perez. By joining EG, PPMD will no longer be representing VGBootCamp, a decision that was very tough for Kevin to make.

PPMD is known for his strong methodical play, dominating the competition with his Falco and Marth at Apex 2014. Not only a strong player, PPMD has always represented the smash community very well, willing to provide insight and advice at tournaments and on Smashboards.

More information about this announcement can be found on onGamers with a full interview with PPMD.

Editors Note: PPMD used to formerly be known as "Dr. PeePee". The article has been changed to reflect his tag change

Congratulations Dr.PP!

Definitely a great choice and going to a person that absolutely deserves it.

On the EG Twitter announcement, it said Kevin "PPMD" Nanney. Possible name change?

 

[Dark Hart]

For the record, nowhere in the original post/article, nor in any of the others which copy pasted like yourself, was Kevin referred to as Dr. Peepee. It was always PPMD. Maybe there's a reason for that.

So happy! This is only the beginning...

 

[da K.I.D.]

Im predicting smash 4 to join the ranks of sf and marvel as games that will hold multiple tournaments that have all EG grand finals

 

[Coastward]

i'm pretty sure EG doesn't want a player named "PeePee".

good stuff to kevin though.

 

[Sqa$]

I was wondering when PPMD would get involved with MLG, and now he has. Good on him, he definitely deserves it.

 

[SKM_NeoN]

Dr. PeePee has the best name in the entire Smash community. I laugh every time I read and hear it.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[TaFoKiNtS]

I can change the article to reflect his name change. Thanks for the headsup

 

[Nintendotard]

That is a beautiful render...anyone know where the full one is?

 

[jBui]

His name is still Dr. PeePee (PP)(MD)

 

[Jackson]

I'm so excited about all the teams picking up players. It bodes well for our community as a whole recieving exposure.

 

[Psychoace]

Doctor Evil! .... peepee

 

[ShinsuYavi]

Wow, congratulations to PPMD! What does the MD stand for, I wonder?

Though it's always sad to see good friends/companions part ways, if it yields a better future for both parties, then hopefully the benefits lend themselves in filling the gaps quickly and lovingly.

It really seems like the Smash scene is beginning to build some kind of momentum with all these sponsor/team reorganization, involvement with MLG, etc. What lies ahead in the immediate future, I haven't a clue, but I really hope it pushes the Smash community forward towards a better place for everyone involved.

Congrats to PPMD and rest of future sponsorships; Looks like smash 4 will be huge with all this major sponsorship preperation!

[Hong]

If the storied EG-Liquid blood-feud persists into Smash, I am not sure if my body can take it.

 

[Adond]

Congrats on PPMD on his new team

[Ben Zed]

Wow, congratulations to PPMD! What does the MD stand for, I wonder?

I believe it stands for "Medical Diagnostician" i.e. a doctor.

 

[BBG|Scott-Spain]
