The news follows the announcement that team-mate Ana will take another break from the game and will not feature again during the current Dota Pro Circuit season.
A statement on the OG website read: "Jesse decided that it was time for him to pursue new things in life, and we couldn’t be prouder to have worked so many years with such an amazing, creative, smart and wholesome guy."
JerAx said his decision to quit Dota came after losing his passion for the game.
Together we traveled the world, we won, we lost as well, we experienced so many things. And being friends also means letting them go sometimes.
