CLG releases statement after launching beer sponsorship video threanething its League of Legends roster with the sack

CLG: "We recognize the negative light that it brings to our players and for that we apologize and have taken down the video."

Recently, Counter Logic Gaming (AKA CLG) released a sponsored video about a beer, a video that features its League of Legends roster, who were being threatened with being fired. Needless to say, the video didn't exactly hit well with the community, leading to it being removed by CLG, and now the esports organisation has issued a statement touching on the topic.

"This morning we published a short post-game video giving a look at behind the scenes of our current season", stated CLG.

"Our goal was to share an authentic moment with our fans and be as transparent as possible leading up to potential changes that may occur this week.

We recognize the negative light that it brings to our players and for that we apologize and have taken down the video."

CLG are currently tied-last in the LCS standings, following a season that has seen the team go 10-26 so far.
