OG part ways with ISSAA
The 24-rifler has been demoted on the OG-roster following a series of bad results.
OG has decided to remove Issa "ISSAA" Murad from their active roster, the organization announce on Twitter. The Jordanian rifler will therefore join Nathan “NBK-“ Schmitt on the bench, as the two players clearly don’t feature in OG’s future project and plan.

OG Head Coach, Casper “ruggah” Due is saddened by the departure but the Danish coach believes that the decision is the right one, for both ISSAA and OG.
- After evaluation over time, it became clear to both parts 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.”
In the same statement, OG explains that they will enter an "internal rebuilding phase" which will contain tryouts for potential replacements, but at the same time assures that the goal still is to compete and establish themselves on the top of CS:GO.
