Dominion Method Gaming announced today in a very brief post on their website that Ohio-based Marvel 3 player Andre Howard–better known as OMG itz Andre–is no longer a part of their team. OMG itz Andre was announced as a member of DMG just three weeks ago during the second Curly Mustache invitational, at which Andre placed 5th.

DMG’s entire statement follows below.

As of 2/19/2012 Andre “OMGitzAndre” Howard was released from his Dominion Method Gaming obligations. We wish the very best for Andre in what the future may bring him. ~Hyena

We have reached out to DMG for comment. We will update this post if they, or Andre, respond.

UPDATE: DMG has responded with their official statement on the matter.

DMG is about giving players an opportunity to reach for their goals. I truly believe, when DMG was first formed, it is all about the players. They are so many players in the FGC who truly deserves sponsorships. These are same players who have the passion, the drive, the hunger and the skills to achieve their goals to be the very best. But some if not, many, lack the means to attend tournaments; this is where DMG comes in and this is what we are about. OmgItzAndre, I honestly believe he is a great guy, kindhearted and a decent individual. However, being young, at times, will and can interfere of making the right decisions and not thinking about consequences that may follow. At the end, it was a conflict of interest in what DMG and Andre was trying to accomplish together. An understanding was made in the beginning but however it was lost in the process. It had nothing to do with his performance during Winter Brawl.
