Cloud9 replace Na`Vi in Caseking

6-11-2014 13:32

The organisers of the Caseking King of Kings have announced that Cloud9 will be stepping in for Natus Vincere.

Last month, the organisers o the Caseking of the Hill cups decided to go in a different direction and put together a new tournament, called King of Kings, with eight teams and a €7,500 prize pool.

With just a few days before the tournament kicks off, it has been announced that Cloud9 will be replacing Na`Vi in Group A, which also features Ninjas in Pyjamas, LDLC and Epsilon.

Cloud9 to take part in €7,500 tournament

The North American side will be bootcamping in Stockholm until DreamHack Winter following group exits at FACEIT and ESWC.

The news about Na`Vi pulling out of King of Kings will probably fuel rumours that the team will soon undergo roster changes, a possibility that was recently raised by the Ukrainian organisation's Head of Online Marketing and Editor, Oleg "prb" Bulavko.

Below you can find the updated groups and the schedule of the tournament:

Group A	Group B
Cloud9	fnatic
NiP	Virtus.pro
LDLC	Titan
Epsilon	London Conspiracy

Caseking King of Kings schedule:

November 11-12	Group A
November 13-14	Group B
November 16	Finals

Stay tuned to HLTV.org for full coverage of King of Kings by Alpenföhn, set to take place from November 11-16 with 7,500€ in prize money and casting by RoomOnFire.

but why would Na`Vi change their roster?They are doing fine.Other teams are just abit better than them,but overall they are showing very good performances on lan

16 replies

they need to add flamie. either HR or Na'Vi need to add flamie.

why?This guy aint better than anyone on NaVi?

2014-11-06 13:37

lol you must be joking. But I would like him to go to HR, to replace kucher, then flamie and s1mple show will rape everyone

He's certainly far better than starix on an individual level. By a mile. That said, Starix may bring other things to the table that flamie doesn't though.

Nah,starix is just inconsistent and choking sometimes in big games.Otherwise he is perfectly fine.Also he is playing for 4 years with Edward and Zeus.Doubt they will ever kick him.

2014-11-06 13:45

flamie far better than starix? lol'ed

2014-11-06 14:42

Individual skill wise, easily. Literally no competition in that regard.

2014-11-06 14:47

you don't shit about cs :D

2014-11-06 19:57

You're right, I don't defecate counterstrike.

2014-11-06 20:54

you can't say that, flamie isn't play top competition on LAN, lets see his play there. your statement is way over the top. individual skill goes beyond just aim mate, though starix is no slouch there.

2014-11-06 23:00

Flamie impressed at ESL One Cologne. Starix is usually extremely lackluster over many months now in the fragging department mind you. Recently I recall him stepping up for one or two maps though.

2014-11-06 23:02

They can't replace GuardiaN, neither zeus or Edward. Maybe seized or starix with flamie? However, I highly doubt it, they are doing great, top 4 team right now if you look at recent matches and placements with Fnatic, LDLC and VP.

2014-11-06 14:38

top4 but miles away from top2. we will be able to make conclusions after DHW. Because TITAN, DIGNITAS, C9 will definitely be stronger

2014-11-06 14:41

Dignitas is 5th, C9 6th. Don't know about titan.

I think c9 will be in top4 next event

2014-11-06 15:11

dignitas is a shit team.

2014-11-06 17:02

wow i hope Na'Vi doesnt change players

Wow", i dont believe!

will be interesting to see how the bootcamp is helping them

So many changes :O

Expected, great news

zeus and starix to retire, blade and flamie to navi heard it here first

2014-11-06 13:38

6 replies

they wouldnt retire just before dreamhack #kicked

They can do that, yeah. But I think starix is still up to par and can play on the highest level. Zeus can become a coach and would be almost as helpful for the team with tactical preparation and studying of their enemies. Anyway, maybe HR will disband with someone from their team going to Na'Vi. Markeloff? Could they have forgiven him? I highly doubt it but still, it's a possibility.

2014-11-06 13:49

Markeloff is not better than anyone in Na'Vi.

2014-11-06 14:40

Of course he is better than pretty much anyone but Guardian and sized in Na'Vi. He's just a lot more inconsistent but I think it's mostly practise, mindset, and tactics that make consistency.

2014-11-06 16:27

then he is inconsistent in 99 out of a 100 matches.

2014-11-06 16:42

Na`Vi markeloff incoming. Yea, heard it here first !

2014-11-06 17:03

2014-11-06 14:02

And what is the reason of this change srsly ?

2014-11-06 14:08

read the article

Red it again, still no reason ...so?

are you confused as to why na`vi would change their roster or what? if so no one knows cos we dont even know whos getting replaced if anyone`s getting replaced. it`s just rumors atm

2014-11-06 15:03

No,man . iwas asking that why is c9 going to the lan instead of navi. But i got the answer now. I think its coz of edward...hes going to india or smthn like dat

its not a LAN btw and yeah edward had some personal shit to deal with.

2014-11-06 15:23

Its not a lan u r right, but that is not the point here

2014-11-06 16:31

Dont break ny heart NaVi, youre doing fine! Most consistent and youll be Top 3!

2014-11-06 14:12

2014-11-06 14:31

s1mple is an arrogant kiddo and can't do a shit on LAN. NaVi doesn't need such a douchebag.

GL VP! :)

2014-11-06 14:37

NiP + LDLC Fnatic + VP Fnatic vs LDLC in finales LDLC wins heard it here first

-Lc + dig

2014-11-06 14:59

However, I have my own feeling that the squad will undergo changes, if nothing changes inside the team (in the conscience of some players) in the closest future. I repeat that this is my very subjective opinion. (c) Oleg "prb" Bulavko

2014-11-06 15:00

Very pleasing indeed.

2014-11-06 15:14

- LC - Epsilon - NIP + some tier 1 teams

2014-11-06 15:19

maybe it wasent possible to get any of them? and u see the top teams clash together all the time anyways, me atleast dont want to see the same 8 teams every online cup either

2014-11-06 15:36

reroll groups

2014-11-06 15:45

JW is the best! #HLTVARMY

2014-11-06 15:59

-starix -zeus + flamie + z1 starix is one of the best aimer but really low individual skill. zeus can't adapt to CS:GO. His play is similar to old cs style like neo. I heard flamie is talented player and he is really good still now. z1 In my opinion he is the most talented player from ukraine. I was really surprised at his play in CS1.6 . If he is playing CS:GO, He can reach the top player level.
