On April 29th, UNiVeRsE and his EG teammates were directly invited to compete in The International 2014. The team quickly began to establish their reputation as one of the best teams in the world due in no small part to Saahil's consistent play in the offlane on heroes such as Dark Seer, Puck, Tidehunter, and Natures Prophet.

Following The International 2, UNiVeRsE took a short hiatus from DotA to focus on his studies and on September 12, 2012, Evil Geniuses and UNiVeRsE parted ways.
