The bombing of Hiroshima has been a long debated topic. Starting from shortly after the bomb was dropped on August 6th, 1945. Many people questioned the use of such a deadly weapon. Able to instantly vaporize 70,000 people and kill another 70,000 in the blast that follows. To justify the use of the bomb many Americans argue that the bomb saved countless lives that would have been sent into war. This point is hard to argue and depends severely on ones biases. Americans value the lives of their soldiers over the lives of those who would have other wise taken them.  The bomb was targeted at the largest industrialized and militarized city left in Japan. Hiroshima was the headquarters of Field Marshal Shunroku Hata's Second General Army and responsible for the defense of all of southern Japan. Eliminating Hiroshima destroyed the defense of southern Japan and would have made the invasion much easier. A strong counter point to this is that Hiroshima had at least a 2:1 ratio of citizens to military personnel, but all of these citizens were trained to defend them selves and ready to fight to their death in the defense of their country. Making them threats to the American soldiers. When a country is at war, everyone in the country is at war. all of the people in Japan were putting in effort and work to produce weapons and planes that would be put to use on the battle field. Destroying a huge industrialized city would severely cripple Japans war effort.  The final point against the use of the bomb is the long lasting effect that the radiation had on the city and it's civilians. The initial explosion killed around 150,000 people but the radiation had an effect on people that no doctors had seen before. The radiation killed off an estimated 150,000, increasing the death toll to 300,000. The effect of radiation were unknown until after Hiroshima. The Americans used Hiroshima as a test. A test to see how much destruction one bomb could do.

December 28, 1856 - February 3, 1924



Woodrow Wilson was a great man, one of much achievement and ambition. He had many great accomplishments during his career, such as leading the United States army to victory during the Great War. As elected for his first term in 1913, his first major act as president was the Underwood tariff act that lowered tariff rates and introduced the graduated income tax. Though, with the outbreak of WW1, it made no significant impact on the general public. After he passed the federal reserve act in december of 1913, he received a lot of criticism, especially at the beginning of the 30’s because many thought it may have made the depression more severe. 1917, the move to enter the Great War had passed congress and with that, he led the U.S. army into battle. Although many died for the sacrifice of their country, we came out victorious and defeated Germany. His fourteen points were a major contribution at the end of the war to resolve world peace and set the guidelines for the treaty of versailles. And after that, He came up with the idea for the League of Nations, which he could never convince congress to agree to. In October of 1919, President Wilson had a severe stroke, which brought him illness. His first lady, Edith took over the reins during his departure, in secrecy to the public. Even high government officials were led to believe otherwise. In March of 1921, his second term expired and he retired to Washington, D.C. where he lived the rest of his life with his wife Edith. He died February of 1924. His last words to her were "I am a broken piece of machinery. When the machinery is broken -- I am ready".

The initial roster consisted of Locicero, Grandjudge,Chauster, Nolja, HotshotGG, Clever, Sabertiger, Bigfatjiji, Lilballz, and Kobe24. This large roster did not last long, however, as many members left due to various reasons; Locicero left to focus more on school, Grandjudge had difficulty competing in tournaments due to living in Korea and eventually lost contact with HotshotGG, Nolja was in Korea as well and also had difficulties attending tournaments in addition to being very inactive, Clever left as he wanted to play more casually, Sabertiger left since he was recruited into the army, and Lilballz had difficulty attending tournaments due to living in Taiwan.

On May 19th, 2012, Counter Logic Gaming went through a roster reformation, benching long time CLG member Saintvicious, adding top laner Voyboy from team Dignitas, and having HotshotGG switch to the jungling position.

Two days after the roster change announcement, CLG also announced their name change from Counter Logic Gaming to Counter Logic Gaming Prime to avoid confusion with their second North American team, Counter Logic Gaming Black.

Counter Logic Gaming Prime would be one out of the two North American teams to be invited to compete in the Azubu The Champions Summer 2012 tournament hosted in Seoul, South Korea. Placed into Group D, Counter Logic Gaming Prime would fall in their first game in group stage to Counter Logic Gaming EU. Despite the early loss to CLG EU, Counter Logic Gaming Prime would come back and qualify for the playoffs by defeating LG-IM and MVP Blue in the fifth and sixth games in the group stage, ending group play with a 2-1 second place finish. In the playoffs, Counter Logic Gaming Prime would unfortunately be eliminated from the tournament by losing to Azubu Frost 0-2, ending the event with a 5th-8th place placing.

Counter Logic Gaming Prime would fly back to North America to participate in the Season Two North American Regional Finals. In their first match at the event, Counter Logic Gaming Prime would pull out a 2-1 victory over Team Legion. However, in the semifinals Counter Logic Gaming Prime would fall to Team Dignitas 0-2, dropping to play in the third place match in order to qualify for the Season 2 World Championship.

Despite attempts at several unconventional strategies, the team was knocked out in the group stage, falling to Invictus Gaming and Azubu Frost. Their sole win came against SK Gaming through a triple Teleport and Promotetactic, but it was not enough for CLG to advance. They took home $ 50,000.

On October 22nd, Counter Logic Gaming Prime's lineup went through several changes. First, Voyboy departed and former MiG Frost AD player Locodoco was picked up to play as the new support. With this change, long time support player Chauster shifted to the jungle position and HotshotGG would move back to his original top lane role.

Season 3

Into the first week of Season 3, on February 9th, Bloodwater was announced to be the second substitute player of the team, but he left the team 4 days later.

Fortunately, CLG defeated Azure Cats 3-0, securing their spot in the Riot Season 3 NA Championship Series Summer Season.

As the unsatisfactory result of LCS Spring Season and preparing for LCS Summer Season, HotshotGG decided to step down from top lane and acquired Nientonsohto fill the position. Moreover, bigfatlp returned to the main roster as jungler while Aphromoo left and Chauster returned to support position.

24th July, 2013, CLG announced that MonteCristo would be joining CLG as a coach.

The Summer LCS Season proved to rocky for the new CLG roster, spending most of the season competing to stay in middle of the pack, ending the season in 6th place with a 13-15 but able to make it into the playoffs. Their first game was against old time rivals TSM but they were unable to win a game, going 0-2, losing their chance to make it to the Season 3 World Championship. They went on to face Team Curse to compete for the 5th place spot to win a spot back for the Season 4 Spring LCS. They were able to come together and go 2-0 and win back the spot into the league.
