CLG after having a rather horrendous and disappointing
performance at the ESL One Cologne Major (didn’t make it out of group
play) losing to both Gambit and Dignitas,”Tarik” the star player on the
roster and coach “Pita” have decided to leave the team.
Although this may seem very sudden as CLG is in some major leagues
“Tarik” will still be playing with the roster until the end of ELEAGUE.
This will be his last appearance as a CLG player.
CLG explained how “Tarik” will no longer be competing competetivly
until at least 2017. Although he may be taking a break, he wants to be
streaming regularly and get better as a player. In the post it seemed as
if “Tarik” made this decision because he wants to spend more time with
his family and settle down for a bit before trying to play professionaly
again.
As for Pita, the European coach has also decided that he wants to
move back to Europe to be closer to his family. We see this as a good
decision on his part because there is no real point of trying to coach a
team that has not been having much of any success recently. That being
said it looks like CLG want to completely start fresh with new players
and such.
CLG have not had a stable roster since the let go of “Fugly.” At this
time once again CLG were in a bit of a hole and the uncertainty led to
them picking up “Pita” as the coach. This was all leading up to ELEAGUE
and the previous major.
As of rcently they let go of AWPer and star player “JDM” in return
they got Liquid’s newcomer “Koosta.” Personally, I don’t feel this was
the best decision to make as “JDM” is quite possibly the best AWP in
North America. He should have been the base of that CLG and letting him
go may spark all sorts of new problems for this CLG roster.
CLG is now looking for players to fill their two remaining spots for
the future as they have many leagues and tournaments coming up very
fast. Good luck to CLG and I hope to see better things in the future
from them.
Current Roster:
Cutler
Hazed
Koosta
