ISSAA departs JiJieHao

Issa "⁠ ISSAA ⁠" Murad has parted ways with  JiJieHao , ending an 11-month-long tenure with the Chinese organization where he made his return to Counter-Strike after a spell in Valorant .

"I'm really hungry for my next step where I can give everything I can to play on top,"  ISSAA  said in the post announcing his departure.

"If any organizations are interested in talking with me, you can reach me through my DM. If [an] org wants to start from scratch, I'm interested as well."

JiJieHao  cycled through several roster iterations during  ISSAA 's tenure, including ones that featured Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye, Aleksei "⁠El1an⁠" Gusev, Vadim "⁠DavCost⁠" Vasilyev and James "⁠SaVage⁠" Savage.

ISSAA  and Hussein "⁠m1N1⁠" Hijazi remained the only constants on the team over the 11-month span, during which  JiJieHao  took part in two Major qualifying cycles but failed to secure berths to Copenhagen or Shanghai.

They fell short at the Asia RMR for the former and couldn't advance through the Middle East qualifier for the latter, with their only large lan appearance coming courtesy of a MENA qualifier for Esports World Cup.

ISSAA  averaged a 1.29 rating over 35 maps during his tenure, although his performances were almost exclusively against low-tier teams in Asia and the Middle East other than a single map at Esports World Cup.

With  ISSAA 's departure,  JiJieHao  are left with:

 Hussein "⁠m1N1⁠" Hijazi
 Osama "⁠0SAMAS⁠" Orabi
 Denislav "⁠dennyslaw⁠" Dimitrov

 Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye (benched)
