Chaos Esports Club has parted ways with AWPer, Owen "smooya" Butterfield due to complications created by the coronavirus pandemic.

After a series of delays, his interview with the US embassy was eventually postponed indefinitely due to a country-wide lockdown. smooya's inability to return to the US due to the current health situation has cost him his position on the team.
