Today, former The Witchers sniper, Owen "smooya" Butterfield, announced on his Twitter that he is looking for a new team. Following an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the first major in Counter-Strike 2, The Witchers team announced their disbandment.
Owen "smooya" Butterfield played for The Witchers since September 23, 2023. Their best achievements include:
- Esportal Clash Open(1st place)
- SteelSeries CS2 Invitational (1st place)
- ESEA Cash Cup: Europe — Autumn 2023 #5 (1st place)
- Betswap Winter Cup (1st place)
During this time, he and his team won $23,000 in prize money.
Regarding the open qualifiers for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, the team consistently fell short of reaching the closed stage. Team captain Rodion "fear" Smyk stated that they had every chance, but the young players were very nervous.
- PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Open Qualifier #1 (33-64th place)
- PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Open Qualifier #2 (33-64th place)
- PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Open Qualifier #3 (17-32nd place)
- PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Open Qualifier #4 (5-8th place)
Owen's stats over the last 12 months show he is a worthy sniper who could return to tier-1 level, but only time will tell where smooya will go.

"The Witchers decided to disband, leaving me without a project for the upcoming season. I am open to offers from Europe and North America, as my goal is to compete at the highest level again. For now, I will be streaming on FACEIT or playing qualifiers with various teams to stay in shape. Thank you for everything!"
It was announced on January 19, 2024, that the Ukrainian organization The Witchers had ceased operations. Read more about it here.
