CLG part ways with male CS:GO teams
CLG have announced the shuttering of their two male CS:GO divisions — the professional team and the Academy team. Over the weekend, reports surfaced that in-game leader Pujan "FNS" Mehta was on his way out of the team, and that the Academy team would be released. The damage has now been doubled.
CLG's main roster was:
Stephen "reltuC" Cutler- Kenneth "koosta" Suen
- Ethan "nahtE" Arnold
Ricardo "Rickeh" Mulholland
Pujan "FNS" Mehta- Steve "Ryu" Rattacasa (Coach)
CLG Academy's roster was:
- Jonathan "djay" Dallal
- Tyler "Char" Wallace
- Alex "aproto" Protopapas
- Gage "infinite" Green
- Zack "XotiC" Elshani
- Corey "ruin" Hartog (Coach)
CLG were set to participate in the upcoming CyberPowerPC Extreme Gaming Series Winter event this weekend. They are currently signed up with reltuC, koosta, nahtE, and former Academy prospect XotiC. It is not known who their fifth for the tournament will be, but is known the team has also been trying out aproto and former Ghost member Ronnie "ryx" Bylicki.
The move means that CLG Red, the organization's female team, is now the only CS:GO squad that they harbor.
UPDATE: FNS has released an in-depth TwitLonger about his time with this iteration of the team, from when he re-joined the organization, to his decision to step down after poor results at the most recent Americas Minor and iBUYPOWER Masters:
