James "hazed" Cobb has parted ways with Counter Logic Gaming, the organization announced New Year's Eve.

In the statement, the organization said the decision was mutual, and thanked hazed for his time with the team.

"We want to thank Hazed for being a part of the CLG family for the past two years. We have grown and learned a lot throughout this time. The decision to part ways was talked over and mutually agreed upon over the past couple months. It is a testament to Hazed’s commitment to his teammates that he continued to practice, compete, and help develop our young players while knowing he would not be re-signing with the team at the end of the year. It’s been an incredible two years."

hazed was a centerpiece on CLG. Along with Stephen "reltuC" Cutler, he was a member of the mouseSpaz roster that CLG picked up in 2015 as their first entry into CS:GO. Under the CLG brand, hazed attended all five CS:GO Majors . He and CLG failed to qualify for the upcoming ELEAGUE Major after going 1-3 at the closed qualifier.

Though hazed was one of the players that endorsed an open letter protesting the Professional eSports Association's decision to push ESL Pro League out of North America, he said on Reddit that his departure was unrelated to the controversy.

"Just so there is no witch hunt over why I am no longer on the team — It has absolutely nothing to do with the player union and PEA/ESL situation," he wrote.

CLG has yet to announce a replacement.
