Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) is an American eSports organization headquartered in Los Angeles, California. It was founded in April 2010 by George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis and Alexander "Vodoo" Beutel as a League of Legends team, and has since branched out into other games.
CLG fields the oldest League of Legends team still active, having competed in every split of the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) since it began in Spring 2013. CLG has won two NA LCS splits, the 2015 Summer NA LCS and 2016 Spring NA LCS. The team has also attended the 2012, 2015 and 2016 League of Legends World Championships, and was eliminated in the group stage on each occasion.
The organization also fields Halo, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Super Smash Bros., and Call of Duty teams, and previously included a Dota 2 team. The organization was also one of the first in North America to implement a multi-team gaming house, and the current residence is able to house all their major divisions and the management staff on a permanent basis.
On July 31, 2017, Madison Square Garden Company acquired a controlling stake in CLG.
Counter Logic Gaming was founded to compete in League of Legends tournaments by George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis and Alexander "Vodoo" Beutel in April 2010. In December 2011, Counter Logic Gaming merged with the Absolute Legends organization. Although the two organizations decided to separate a month later, the ex-AbsoluteLegends roster chose to stay with CLG, as Counter Logic Gaming Europe. On 2 February 2012, the organization announced that it had acquired the Dota 2 roster of Swedish team eXperience Gaming. In May of that year, Georgallidis created a CLG League of Legends B team, known as Counter Logic Gaming Black. On 2 July 2012, HotshotGG stepped down from the position of active CEO of Counter Logic Gaming, citing a wish to focus more on his game-play, and was replaced by his mother, Helen Georgallidis.
