The Covid-19 pandemic has been cited as the foremost reason by most North American CS: GO companies for withdrawing from competitive action. Chaos’s exit is another massive blow to the NA scene after the withdrawal of 100 Thieves earlier in the year.
In a Twitter post, Chaos addressed its supporters with the following statement:
Who are Chaos Esports Club, and why are they releasing their CS: GO roster
Originally a team consisting of Swedish players, Chaos Esports Club entered the North American CS: GO scene by releasing its squad and signing the organization less team, Ben’s Anime Team, that starred veteran player Joshua “steel” Nissan.
The team faced its share of ups and downs but enjoyed relative success even after losing steel, who shifted to Valorant as a pro. Controversy then struck when Chaos defeated MiBR in Cs_summit 6’s Online qualifier, and the team was accused of cheating.
The resulting feud between the Brazilian fanbase and Chaos defenders got ugly, as players took to Twitter to voice their opinions.
Despite these factors, Chaos found decent results in CS: GO in its debut year with a new roster. Things were looking up until the pandemic impacted the organization’s ability to support its players.
The official statement said:
While the organization is disbanding its CS: GO squad, Chaos still has plans to support content creators in and out of the game, so there is potential for a future return.
