'''Counter Logic Gaming (CLG)''' is an American professional esports organization founded by the ''League of Legends'' player George Georgallidis (HotShotGG) in 2010. While maintaining the oldest current ''League'' division, it has also expanded into first-person shooters such as ''Counter Strike: Global Offensive'' and the ''Halo'' series.

In early 2015, HotShotGG expressed interest in possibly entering CLG into ''Smash Bros.'' by reaching out to {{Sm|Leffen}} on Twitter<ref>[https://twitter.com/CLG_HotshotGG/status/557415534652694528 @CLGHotShotGG: "@L3ff3n Add me so I can DM you"]</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2t0vke/clg_leffen/ /r/SmashBros reacts to HotShotGG reaching out to Leffen]</ref> before Leffen was signed by [[Team SoloMid]] - CLG's archrival since both organizations' beginnings in ''League of Legends''. On June 14th, 2015, CLG officially entered ''Smash'' by signing {{Sm|PewPewU}}<ref>[http://clgaming.net/news/677-counter-logic-smash-bros-clgpewpewu Counter Logic ''Smash Bros.'': CLG.PewPewU]</ref>. They followed that up with signing {{Sm|NAKAT}} as their first Smash 4 player, and second Smasher in general, and then also signed {{Sm|SFAT}} (reuniting the team [[PewFat]] under the same sponsor) and {{Sm|Keitaro}}, the latter as their video production specialist. On June 16th, 2016, CLG signed {{Sm|VoiD}} as their second pro Smash 4 player. On October 23rd, 2017, NAKAT was dropped by CLG, citing poor results as main reason of this decision.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/78buzm/clg_and_nakat_part_ways/doslkyw/ Quote of CLG's post about NAKAT on r/smashbros]</ref> Keitaro also left the team at an unknown time. SFAT would part ways with the team on January 13th, 2023. On January 20th, 2023, CLG signed {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} (formerly iBDW). On March 9th, 2023, CLG signed {{Sm|Magi}}. With CLG closing their non-''League'' divisions, all of CLG's ''Smash''-affiliated players were let go on April 5th, 2023.
