The Completionist is removing 120 of his old videos due to legal reasons and we should back them up somewhere. The list of videos is on his channel though he has clearly stated to not repost them on Youtube.
I doubt these will actually be lost. The completionist has THOUSANDS of subscribers. I doubt these videos weren't already all downloaded and archived. Speaking of which. The internet archive actually has all 120 episodes with greg in them (completionist not beard bros). Either way the only videos that might be lost from this are probably a few miscellaneous update videos and maybe 1 or 2 beard bros let's plays.
Long story short: Greg (Jirard's old best friend who helped him to make videos for quite some time) demanded that every video in which he was feautured had to be removed, and Jirard, instead of fighting this legally as he should, decided to just give it up, and on september 1st he will deleted his first 120 episodes of The Completionist, as well as all the Defend It! videos, Super Beard Bros and everything in which Greg appeared, he's doing this so people has time to download and back up all of the soon-to-be-deleted content

That Greg guy seems like a bit of an a-hole.
From what I could tell he seemed like a very nice guy. I personally found him to be pretty funny. I have no idea why he left the show. I think it was an arguement of some sort. Again he seemed like a really nice guy, so this wasn't exactly expected from him.
No He is really very funny and we were all sad to see him go! I Have no idea why he would do such a dick move!
There was no prior tension?
They were best friends, so no I don't think there was any tension, but they had a big fight (they never said what provoked it though) which made Greg leave the show, and he got extremely angry at Jirard, a feeling that clearly hasn't died as for today
While the numbered Completionist videos have been pretty extensively and publically saved at archive.org, I am not sure about the extent that videos from series like "Beard Bros." and "Why We Love Games" have been saved, and yes many of those were removed from Jirard's channel too. There are plenty of "Beard Bros." videos, but I could find zero "Why We Love Games" videos at the Internet Archive.
The above video was originally uploaded in 2013 to That One Video Gamer. Current "Why We Love Games" videos on the official channel are from no earlier than 2015.
