History
Organization
Counter Logic Gaming was founded to compete in League of Legends tournaments by George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis and Alexander "Vodoo" Beutel in April 2010.[1] In December 2011, Counter Logic Gaming merged with the Absolute Legends organization. Although the two organizations decided to separate a month later, the ex-AbsoluteLegends roster chose to stay with CLG, as Counter Logic Gaming Europe.[7] On February 2, 2012, the organization announced that it had acquired the Dota 2 roster of Swedish team eXperience Gaming.[8] In May of that year, Georgallidis created a CLG League of Legends B team, known as Counter Logic Gaming Black.[9] On July 2, 2012, HotshotGG stepped down from the position of active CEO of Counter Logic Gaming, citing a wish to focus more on his game-play, and was replaced by his mother, Helen Georgallidis.[10]
In October 2012, CLG's Dota 2 team officially disbanded, with most of the players having left weeks before.[11] Less than three months later, in late December, CLG.EU elected not to re-sign their contracts, instead signing with Evil Geniuses.[12] The organization also disbanded CLG Black, leaving the original League of Legends team as the only roster under the Counter Logic Gaming banner. CEO Helen Georgallidis and COO Robert "CyberBob" Del Papa resigned with these announcements, and Kelby May was promoted to general manager for the organization.[13] Kelby remained at CLG for two years until September 2014, when he stepped down; Matthew "MaTTcom" Marikian was promoted to general manager, while Bryan "bchenN" Chen was hired as the director of finance and operations.[14]
On November 10, 2014, Counter Logic Gaming announced that they had acquired the

On July 31, 2017, Madison Square Garden Sports, owners of the NBA team New York Knicks and the NHL team New York Rangers acquired a controlling stake in CLG.[23]
On April 3, 2023, independent League of Legends reporter Travis Gafford reported that CLG would be closing its esports operations, laying off its staff, and laying off all of its teams, including the sale of its LCS slot.[24] On April 6, 2023, NRG Esports acquired CLG, with MSG becoming a major shareholder in NRG.[6]

In the final, Counter Logic Gaming swept their long-term rivals, and became NA LCS champions for the first time, while Doublelift won the first LAN event of his five-year career.[85] The team also secured the first North American seed to the 2015 League of Legends World Championship.

On December 20, 2011, Counter Logic Gaming and European organization Absolute Legends announced a merger. The roster of Mike "Wickd" Petersen, Stephen "Snoopeh" Ellis, Henrik "Froggen" Hansen, Peter "Yellowpete" Wüppen, and Mitch "Krepo" Voorspoels became Counter Logic Gaming Europe. A month later, on January 30, 2012, the two organizations decided to separate, but the European roster elected to stay under the Counter Logic Gaming brand.[7] The team's first challenge would be in the Kings of Europe online tournament, placing first after defeating Russian juggernauts Moscow Five in the final.[99][100][101] The team experienced immense regional success over the next few months, consistently beating top European teams FnaticRC, Moscow Five, against All authority, and SK Gaming, and winning several tournaments, including the Corsair Vengeance Cup, In2LOL Kickoff EU, and Absolute Pro League March.[102][103][104][105][106]

In January 2015, CLG formed a new secondary League of Legends team, under the moniker CLG Black, made up of Jonathan "Westrice" Nguyen, Thomas "Thinkcard" Slotkin, Brandon "Easy" Doyle, Trevor "Stixxay" Hayes, and Kenny "I KeNNy u" Nguyen.[122] The team defeated Rock Bottom Gorillas and Team Liquid Academy In the North American Challenger Series Spring Qualifier, successfully qualifying for the Spring Split of the Riot Games NA Challenger Series, the second tier of professional League of Legends in North America.[123] Westrice announced his retirement from professional play on February 24, 2015, before the start of the split, and was replaced by Samson "Lourlo" Jackson.[124][125] After placing last in Spring, CLG Black was forced to participate in the qualifier for the Summer Split.[126] William "Scarra" Li replaced Easy in the off-season, playing his first official match on June 3, 2015. After winning the first game of the qualifier, "Stixxay" was banned by Riot Games for two weeks due to his in-game behavior.[127] Counter Logic Gaming Black lost both subsequent games, using Parsa "Frost" Baghai as a substitute, and so failed to qualify for the following North American Challenger Series Summer Split.[128]
On November 5, 2015, it was announced that CLG Black was once again recruiting, with Thinkcard as the only returning player. The team has since been disbanded.

On February 2, 2012, Counter Logic Gaming picked up the unsigned eXperience Gaming roster, made up of Jonathan "Loda" Berg, Joakim "Akke" Akterhall, Jesper "Mirakel" Nyhlén, Per Anders Olsson "Pajkatt" Lille, and Alexander "Pinoy" Pettersson, under the name CLG Dota.[8] On March 2, 2012, exactly a month later, Johan "smulgullig" Gidmark replaced Pinoy after the former acted as a stand-in for the team for minor online events.[176] From March to August, after success in relatively minor online tournaments, CLG Dota's schedule was dominated by various more prolific online tournaments, either of the form of a group stage followed by playoff finals, or of a round-robin tournament. The first of these was Star Ladder Star Series Season 1, running from March 12 to April 29, 2012. Counter Logic Gaming placed third in the group stage, beating Darer at playoffs before losing to both Natus Vincere and Moscow Five in the Winners Bracket and Losers Bracket Finals, finishing third.[177]
The second and third of the tournaments were ProDOTA World League Season 1 and The Premier League Season 2, taking place from April 13 to August 5, and April 17 to July 8, 2012, respectively.

After this strong run, CLG Halo came into HCS S1 Cup #2 as first
On January 25, 2015, CLG was taken out by Cloud9 in the semifinals of HCS S1 Cup #4, netting them another top 4 finish.
On March 13, 2015, Heinz confirmed on Twitter that he had been released.[201] Counter Logic Gaming announced later that day that they had acquired Denial eSports' Scottie "Cloud" Holste to take his place.[202] In April, at the first LAN of HCS Season Two: Iron Games Atlanta 2015, CLG Halo defeated Cloud9, before losing yet another series to Evil Geniuses, and falling into the Losers Bracket. There, CLG was defeated by Winterfox, and claimed fifth place after beating out OpTic Gaming in a consolation match, their first below second placing at an HCS LAN.[203] Following HCS Season Two Cup #1, Ogre2 went on vacation, leaving the team with sub Weston "Clutch" Price to fill his role for the next two cups, in which the team placed top 16 and top 8 respectively.[204][205][206][207]
OGRE2's return would not immediately lead to better fortunes for Counter Logic Gaming, as the team finished top 8 in HCS S2 Cup #4.[208] However, on June 7, 2015, they earned their highest placing of the season, finishing third in HCS S2 Cup #5.[209] They repeated this finish in HCS S2 Cup #6, before finishing top 8 in HCS S2 Cup #7, the final cup of the season.[210][211] Later in June, CLG went into HCS LAN Indianapolis holding fifth seed, and was knocked out of the Winners Bracket relatively early on by Cloud9. Despite an impressive Losers Bracket run, they were beaten in the Grand Final by Evil Geniuses.[199] This second-place finish was enough to secure them the fourth seed going into the HCS Season 2 Finals, which started on July 24, 2015.[199] At the finals, CLG was once again forced into the Losers Bracket, this time by Evil Geniuses. Wins against OpTic Gaming, Cloud9, and Denial eSports took the team into the Grand Final, where they met Evil Geniuses for the last time that season. CLG managed their first and only Season Two victory against Evil Geniuses, but lost the second, deciding series, relegating Counter Logic Gaming Halo to successive second place season finishes.[212]
On December 2, 2015, the organization announced the release of Cloud, and the acquisition of Bradley "Frosty" Bergstrom, and on January 28, 2016, it was announced that OGRE2 was being replaced by Tony "Lethxl" Campbell. Later in the year OpTic Gaming acquired the CLG Halo team[213][214]
