Even though a lot of people were sad to see JGOD leaving the competitive CS scene, he will still be around perhaps even able to do greater things than ever before. He will become RIPULICS's Chief Gaming Officer.

As CGO, JGOD will have the overall responsibility of managing the CS:GO and OW squads that make up RIPULICS. He will oversee and manage all team leaders for the respective games and make sure we have players and squads that represent RIPULICS in the best possible light.

On top of this he will work with our partners, and strategize with the management team on new initiatives.


Official stament from JGOD
"The day has come when I have to say farewell to competitive Counter-Strike after a long career that started out from a passion that was so strong that it eventually became my life.

I am extremely happy and excited to announce about my new position in RIPULICS and will do my absolute best as CGO to make RIPULICS great.

I would like to use this opportunity to say thanks to all my former teammates and fans out there!"
