OG bench ISSAA
The team is now officially down to three players after two benchings in the last month.
OG and Issa "ISSAA" Murad have "mutually decided to part ways", the European organisation announced on Tuesday. The move comes after the team's disappointing campaign in ESL Pro League Season 13, from which they were eliminated early after placing fourth in Group A with two wins and three losses.
The 24-year-old had been a part of OG's active roster since the organization entered CS:GO in late 2019 with the signing of the then-brand-new international squad formed around Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen and Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt.

"It’s a decision that we’ve taken with a heavy heart because ISSAA is a well-respected and loved person within the team who always gave his best in the team’s interests, and did whatever was asked of him," team coach Casper "ruggah" Due said in a statement.
"After evaluation over time, it became clear to both parties that for ISSAA to flourish and OG to keep improving, changes were needed and these paths had to continue separately. I’m a bit sad we couldn’t give ISSAA the optimal situation to bang heads, since he has proven throughout his career that he is a player capable of challenging the very best on the server. We are going to miss ISSAA and everyone in OG wish him nothing but the best moving forward."
The Jordanian's benching marks the second change in the European squad within the last month, after OG also put NBK- on the sidelines in late February following a string of early exits at the beginning of 2021.
OG have been playing with Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen, who was officially listed as a stand-in in their matches in the prestigious league as well as in the DreamHack Masters closed qualifier. The Danish player is understood to be in talks with OG over a permanent move.
According to OG, the team will be conducting tryouts in the next few days to fill the two gaps in the squad. Time is on OG's side as their next outing in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown is almost a month away, taking place on April 13-18.
OG's roster is officially down to just three active players and a stand-in for the time being:
Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen
Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski
Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså
Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen (stand-in)
Casper "ruggah" Due (coach)
Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt (benched)
Issa "ISSAA" Murad (benched)
