PowerOfEvil Signs With Counter Logic Gaming
By Zac Cameron ·
CLG has picked up some serious firepower in the mid lane with PowerOfEvil joining the roster.
Former European wunderkind and mid laner for OpTic Gaming Tristan "PowerOfEvil" Schrage has signed with CLG for the 2019 season, announced by the organization earlier today. “I am extremely excited to meet my new teammates, and work with the content crew to create some awesome stuff for you guys,” PowerOfEvil said in the announcement video released by CLG. “From conversations with Weldon, and my new teammates, they’re really interesting. We share a lot of the same goals, philosophy, and we have the same ideas on how we can achieve these things.”
Power. Of. Evil.

PowerOfEvil will be replacing Choi “Huhi” Jae-hyun, who has left the franchise to rejoin former teammate Zaqueri "aphromoo" Black on 100 Thieves earlier this week. Despite OpTic Gaming struggling to find results during the 2018 NA LCS season, PowerOfEvil was often lauded as the best part of that team, repeatedly showcasing his mechanical skill and team fight decision making that caused him to be voted as the second NA LCS all-pro mid laner in the Summer Split.
Counter Logic Gaming had suffered one of their worst performances this year, with formerly stand-out players seeming to slump in the wake of team captain aphromoo’s departure. While no other player announcements have been made for CLG, their roster is still signed for at least this time next year, so fans are hopeful that the remaining players can continue to build off their cohesiveness and synergy that they would have developed over the 2018 season and come back fighting strong in 2019.
