Professional Counter-Strike commentator Alexey "PCH3LK1N" Pchelkin commented on the changes in Cloud9 CS2 lineup exclusively for Telecomasia.net.
PCH3LK1N talked about sh1ro leaving Cloud9:
I don't know why sh1ro left. Maybe there was some offer from another team. Maybe it was from Falcons? But knowing sh1ro's language problems, it's hard to imagine him moving to a European team. It will be harder for sh1ro, it will be hard to find a good team. Cloud9 needs a sniper, I think it's easier to find one. Maybe it will be degster?
Pchelkin thinks BoombI4 can fit into Cloud9's lineup very well:
BoombI4 fit in well and they won the first game. Maybe reuniting with Perfecto and electroNic will be good for everyone. Also yesterday he won a tournament with his team 1WIN, then TRAVIS wrote that it was the last tournament for Kirill in their team. The chance that BoombI4 will move to Cloud9 is very high. Let's wait for the announcement.
On October 26, sh1ro left Cloud9. The player did not say where he will continue his career. The club also did not announce his replacement.
