missharvey and klaudia leave CLG Red, reffinej and Emy join
After more than a decade with the team, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player Stephanie “missharvey” Harvey has made her departure from CLG Red, the organization announced Wednesday. She and fellow departing player Klaudia “klaudia” Beczkiewicz will be replaced by Jennifer “refinnej” Le and Emma “Emy” Choe.
missharvey has been with the roster now known as CLG Red for 12 years, dating back to Counter-Strike 1.6 before they were picked up by the organization. Then called Ubinited (and before that SK Gaming’s SK Ladies), her team was the best female Counter-Strike team in the world. Ubinited was picked up by Counter Logic Gaming and became CLG Red in 2015.
“After 12 years of being on this team, it is finally time to move on. I am looking forward to my next challenge and excited for the new adventure ahead of me,” said missharvey in the announcement. “As my journey continues, I would like to wish CLG and CLG RED the best of luck in their endeavors. Thank you to the CLG family, friends and fans for everything you did for me. So long.”
klaudia previously played for Team Karma before being picked up by CLG Red in 2016.
Both reffinej and Emy are relatively new to the CS:GO scene, both having come up through ESEA in the past year.
Said Emy, “Even though I have little experience in the Counter Strike scene, my teammates have been super informative and helped me a lot. To be honest, it’s still so surreal to me that I am a part of CLG Red. When I started Counter Strike, I would watch their past matches on YouTube and look up to them. I am very confident that it’s going to be a super fun adventure and I’m going to be the best player that I can be!”
