"We of course still value, appreciate, and respect the Canadian Counter-Strike community. It's in our blood; Canadian CS is the foundation of the history of Team Evil Geniuses, and that will never be forgotten" said EG Executive Director Alexander Garfield. "However, we just feel that at this point, keeping the new team we've had over the past several months was not the best way to reach out and represent the Canadian community. So, we've decided to - for the first time in over five years - not have an active Canadian Counter-Strike division. This is not a permanent move, and I want to assure everyone in the North American community that there will be an EG.ca Counter-Strike lineup again in the future, but for now it was the right move for our organization."
