During MLG Vegas, CLG CEO Devin took to the stage to announce their signing of the 'The 1 Percent' roster.

While we were enjoying the first day of MLG Vegas, we got a nice surprise. Counter Logic Gaming, known for their League of Legends team as well as participation in other esports, had an announcement to share. CEO Devin Nash took to the stage to, alongside host Rachel Quirico, announce the signing of The 1 Percent to their organization.

This pickup marks another big organization entering the Overwatch scene. The timing is a bit curious, with the Overwatch League coming up and rumors of all kinds of draft processes still making the rounds. It seems like CLG knows more than most of us however, and they see value in picking up an NA team at this moment.

The 1% roster has had decent success so far, being a constant threat in the semi-pro tournaments, but has not had significant results just yet. CLG should be able to provide them the infrastructure and stability to change that however.

As such, the new CLG team will consist of:
 

  •  iShiny - Tank
  • Miso - Tank Flex
  • Mikado - Support
  • The - Support
  • Hydration - DPS
  • Waffletastic - DPS
