ImAPet and CLG part ways

29-6-2017 10:18

CLG has announced that the team's Head Coach Chet "ImAPet" Singh will be leaving the organization, as the tactician has decided to pursue new opportunities.

Chet "ImAPet" Singh joined CLG over a year ago, at first helping out Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita as an analyst, but progressed through roles and was, up until today, working as the Head Coach of the team. In a release the organization put out today, they made public that it was the interest of other teams that lead to ImAPet's departure.

ImAPet has decided to move on from CLG

This is what the CS:GO Development Coach Mike Schwartz had to say about ImAPet leaving the team:

"Chet is one of the greatest strategic minds I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge and dedication to the game are second to none and I’m confident wherever he goes, he will be able to elevate that team’s play to the next level. While it’s unfortunate to see him leave, I truly appreciate all the work that he’s put in over the past year to bring our team to where it is now and wish him the best in the future."

Mike Schwart will be taking over as the interim coach of CLG at DreamHack Valencia while the team looks for a new coach.

ImAPet also put out a statement on his departure from CLG:

"I've been with CLG for over a year and it's been filled with nothing but great experiences. I've been with CLG since the team was at its lowest point to the team it is now. CLG as an organization has grown as well. Since the introduction of Matt, our esports director, our lives have become much easier. So thank you CLG for introducing more structure into the organization and caring for the players."

"I am happy with what we’ve accomplished, but not satisfied. I still have the same goal in mind, which is to produce the best NA team that can compete internationally and consistently in majors. I hope to continue creating healthy and productive environments in future teams, with the knowledge and experience I’ve gained from my time at CLG."

ImAPet's next team is unknown at this point, but is expected to be announced soon. In the meantime, learn more about him, his coaching and road to success by reading our interview from DreamHack Open Summer 2017.

CLG are now:

Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta
Ethan "⁠Ethan⁠" Arnold
Stephen "⁠reltuC⁠" Cutler
Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland
Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen

they didnt kick him, read the article genius

2017-06-29 10:47

They didn't, he decided to leave himself.

2017-06-29 10:48

He left

pretty obvious at this point that he got an offer from optic after what hazed has said in the last hltv interview at ECS. hazed doesnt wanna coach, he wants to play. so either hazed will be optics new 5th or he will go elsewhere, but either way: c9 and liquid already have coaches so optic would be the obvious next step for imapet.

ye but they are also a much worse team unless things change. the org of NRG hasnt proven that they are willing to bring in a ton of shaq money so far so that would be a weird move.

Misfits also need a coach since they had to remove Peacemaker, they're a good up and coming team with a lot of potential for him to work with.

??? With their full roster they're pretty nuts. I mean give them time too, its also a fairly new roster. But their first lan was a semi and at the time NA was at its worst.

2017-06-29 10:30

That's sad :(

feels like everyone leaves CLG

2017-06-29 10:33

he actually seemed like a good coach, paired with fns. I cant see why he would leave unless some other shitter na team paid him. "cough" Liquid "cough"

2017-06-29 10:36

liquid have the best coach in the world. they have no reason to get this guy.

2017-06-29 10:55

misfits

2017-06-29 10:43

Misfits or Cloud9 stealing imapet BabyRage

2017-06-29 10:51

or liquid poor CLG and FNS BabyRage

liquid: have zews, best coach in the world misfits: shit team, no reason for him to go there unless they pay him huge money. c9: have valens, outside chances they switch. optic tho. dont have a coach really.

2017-06-29 10:56

CLG>optic doe

2017-06-29 11:03

mixwell, tarik, rush, naf < koosta, rickeh, ethan? i think not. optic definitely has more potential. dont overrate CLG. yeah they had some nice upsets and map wins internationally recently, but they also bombed out of NA minor and arent even at the major qualifier.

2017-06-29 11:05

they got an IGL called FNS which counts for much cuz there are no more IGLs LUL and KOOSTA potential wise too>>> all of em Ethan young and have very much potential yes Rich meh, solid player, AND they can cut cutler for someone better in the future. Meanwhile mix is a god, welp they are all good af, but since stan left they have sucked but once they get an IGL again, they might git gud again. but in the long run CLG would and still have more potential oo maybe YUNG relyks to clg :thinking

2017-06-29 11:14

why are people making it out like FNS is some kind of god tier IGL? thats just parroting thorin, who is full of crap in a lot of cases. who tells u if optic decide to get hazed full time that he wont be able to do it? there are also others. or how about this: optic wants to invest more into the team and they buy out FNS as well. koosta potential? are u serious right now?

2017-06-29 11:18

okay you win even though they just lost to PENTA LUL WEEEEAAAAKKK. BUT they will need an epic SPANISH IGL instead of hazed to bounce back Kreygasm and yes KOOSTA best of these 10 players and def got the most potential together with ethannnn

2017-06-29 12:21

just imagine how good koosta would be now had liquid not fucked him

2017-06-29 18:21

I just want -JDM + koostaaaaaaaaa shit awper back to FNS leadership so he becomes decent again and GOD KOOSTER to GOD liquid and if they then could get someone good instead of nitr0 ez top1 world wide

2017-06-29 18:25

FNS could join C9 and FNS and ImAPet are bros so he may go with them.

2017-06-29 22:24

^thats very uncertain. c9 havent decided to kick anyone yet so thats why. if they fail the maj qualifier then maybe yeah but since the decision was made beforehand...

2017-06-29 23:34

peacemaker leave tyloo and join imapet to create new superteam with double coach setup. New csgo era is coming :D #HYPE

I think he'll go to C9, not liquid since liquid have zews if I am not wrong... Or misfits could be another team interested in a coach.

OPTIC BRO

Also optic, but I think it comes down to who has more money on the line... C9 is quite a rich org isn't it? Optic dunno, famous in cod but I don't know about lol or dota, misfits is a lol org so I am assuming big money.

c9 is a wealthy org, they just got a 3 mio sponsorship with like pepsi or some shit. afaik their owner jack is quite a shrewd businessman. might be an option, but they have a coach already. optic has huge money, they have insane players and they are actively looking for a coach so that makes the most sense.
