A former semi-professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, cubed transitioned to the coaching role with CLG Red and helped them compete as one of the top women's teams in professional CS:GO. Counter Logic Gaming would go on to say that they have not yet found a replacement for cubed, but are currently looking and will update their fans when things have become finalized.
With cubed as their coach, CLG Red was able to finish in first place at both the WESG 2017 USA Female Qualifier and the Intel Challenge Katowice 2018 - North American Qualifier. Their second highest placement would come at the WESG 2017 North American Finals where they finish in second place and took home a prize of $2,000. The latest event for the team was at the Intel Challenge Katowice 2018 Major event, but the team would not have a strong showing, as they finished 7th to 8th.
At the time of this writing, there has been no public comment from cubed about the announcement.
