In early 2015, HotShotGG expressed interest in possibly entering CLG into ''Smash Bros.'' by reaching out to {{Sm|Leffen}} on Twitter<ref>[https://twitter.com/CLG_HotshotGG/status/557415534652694528 @CLGHotShotGG: "@L3ff3n Add me so I can DM you"] HotShotGG on Twitter</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2t0vke/clg_leffen/ /r/SmashBros reacts to HotShotGG reaching out to Leffen] Reddit</ref> before Leffen was signed by [[Team SoloMid]] - CLG's archrival since both organizations' beginnings in ''League of Legends''. On June 14th, 2015, CLG officially entered ''Smash'' by signing {{Sm|PewPewU}}<ref>[http://clgaming.net/news/677-counter-logic-smash-bros-clgpewpewu Counter Logic ''Smash Bros.'': CLG.PewPewU] Counter Logic Gaming</ref>. They followed that up with signing {{Sm|NAKAT}} as their first Smash 4 player, and second Smasher in general, and then also signed {{Sm|SFAT}} and {{Sm|Keitaro}}, the latter as their video production specialist. On June 16th, 2016, CLG signed VoiD as their 2nd pro Smash 4 player.

On June 16th, 2016, CLG signed {{Sm|VoiD}} as their second pro Smash 4 player. On October 23rd, 2017, NAKAT was dropped by CLG, citing poor results as main reason of this decision.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/78buzm/clg_and_nakat_part_ways/doslkyw/ Quote of CLG's post about NAKAT on r/smashbros]</ref> Keitaro also left the team at an unknown time. SFAT would part ways with the team on January 13th, 2023. On January 20th, 2023, CLG signed {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} (formerly iBDW). On March 9th, 2023, CLG signed {{Sm|Magi}}. With CLG closing their non-''League'' divisions, all of CLG's ''Smash''-affiliated players were let go on April 5th, 2023.
