Today we are announcing that we have parted ways with Alexander “Homiefe” D’Souza and have brought in Suharab “Masked” Askarzada as the new jungler for the Counter Logic Gaming Smite. After evaluating the team’s progress throughout the season, it was determined that although Homiefe is a talented player, his playstyle wasn’t the right fit for the team. Homiefe is one of the original members of CLG Smite and was voted MVP for several matches throughout his time on CLG. We want to thank him for his contribution to the team and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

We are excited for the future of CLG Smite with Masked now brought into the fold. Masked is an aggressive jungler and has proven himself to be consistently one of the best junglers in the game. Over the past few years he has helped bring his team to the SMITE World Championships placing in top two for the North American regionals.

“I’m thrilled to have Masked join the team as our new jungler,” said CLG Smite Coach sLainy. “After trying him out I think his super aggressive playstyle, clear in-game comms, and drive to win will all be great assets in improving the team. There may be some bumps in the road as we shift our playstyle, but I am confident that the team will excel once we adjust.”

We look forward to seeing the team’s progress as they look to finish their season strong leading into the Smite World Championship Qualifiers. Please give Masked a warm welcome and follow him on social media!
