Owen Butterfield, known as “Smooya,” is a 20-year-old British CS:GO player who has been playing for Chaos Esports Club since January 2020. Over a week ago, Smooya was benched due to the visa issues and he is still under contract with Chaos.

Smooya has shared a new tweet on his official Twitter account yesterday and announced that he won’t be able to play Counter-Strike for a while because the United Kingdom is will be under lockdown due to the coronavirus.

“UK Lockdown likely being extended until June? Goodbye CS career…”

“We can arrange a showmatch or two if you need Owen?”
