Skadoodle back in Cloud9

15-4-2018 03:56

Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham has returned to Cloud9's active roster, the 24-year-old revealed on Twitter.

The 24-year-old has been out of action since late March when he announced that he had stepped down from Cloud9, following reports on the team's plans to bring in a replacement for the AWPer.

Those plans have supposedly gone awry, as Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham is now officially back on the active roster, who recently lost Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip to SK and replaced him with Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta, formerly of Complexity.

Skadoodle is officially back in Cloud9

Skadoodle clarified an unclear Tweet posted earlier this week, stating that he is actively playing for Cloud9 again, which makes the full lineup the following:

Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta
Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta
Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham

Soham "⁠valens⁠" Chowdhury (coach)

The North American squad are currently sitting in second place of ECS (with an 11-5 record) and fourth place in ESL Pro League (34 points from 18 matches). Cloud9 will soon set off to France to play their first offline tournament with FNS, DreamHack Masters Marseille, which begins on April 18.

I should have been more clear on my recent tweet about coming back and playing I'm sorry, it is official I am actively playing again for @Cloud9 and hoping to break out the tank tops this summer thank you

i was gonna say that but let's be real, it would've been better if he joined sk, then he wouldn't have to worry about 1v5ing every round

2018-04-16 18:35

lol

Yay

2018-04-15 03:57

OMEGALUL

Because torqued didn't pick him up?

Was actually hoping to see koosta awping in cloud9, i do believe he might be a great fit for the team (Dont bash me for my opinion plz)

2018-04-15 09:25

Koosta had his chances with many NA teams. If he wants to ever be considered, he REALLY needs to step it up. Also Ska is just better in every single aspect of the game.

2018-04-15 10:28

Skadoodle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chokesta

2018-04-15 11:08

Skadoodle is a very decent awper, probably also one of the best in NA history. I didnt say koosta is a better awper if compared to ska (individually), but I just thought that maybe koosta would fit better with FNS and tarik bcs they played together back in CLG. Just my honest opinion but no offense thou xD

2018-04-15 11:39

Skadoodle, tarik, auti and rush played together and won a major..

2018-04-15 12:10

Sure, I see your point in it, but Ska, Tarik, auti and RUSH are just having a good chemistry and FNS will surely adapt to them

2018-04-15 14:01

Yes thats why FNS was recruited, so that tarik can go back to his old role and make FNS a pure IGL. Like, why not see how far they could make it with the new IGL. I think that might be the reason ska actually came back to the active lineup, otherwise...idk lmao

2018-04-15 15:23

TopKEK

Okay why not

Dad <3

he never left though nice update HLTV...

2018-04-15 04:01

why ?????

29 replies

because he changed his mind lol. there isn't a better awper in NA lol

2018-04-15 06:04

28 replies

JDM? Nifty?

2018-04-15 06:09

you think they are better than ska??

2018-04-15 06:10

No way especially not botdm

2018-04-15 06:23

If Skadoodle were to left, either JDM or Nifty would be good. I'm not saying their better, I'm saying skadoodle isn't the only good awper in na

2018-04-15 06:33

Nifty would be fine but jdm is would be fucking trash. Horrible in liquid. Would be a major downgrade.

JDM is a good consistent awper but he is just not as good with rifles. Skadoodle is a inconsistent awper who is good with rifles.

2018-04-15 11:31

jdm is the embodiment of inconsistency with the awp. Unless consistently bad counts. Also Low skill ceiling.

2018-04-15 22:25

ya if ska left i would of been happy with trying nifty

2018-04-15 07:39

I'm over here waiting for Nifty to leave rng and the igl role. If he wasn't an igl he would be god tier...

2018-04-15 08:08

technically the org changed their mind. since they got a proper IGL in FNS, they decided to see how far he could take the core instead of drastic change. its something Ska hasnt had since S gares so worth a shot

2018-04-15 07:36

11 replies

how do we know it was the org though? to me it seemed like ska wanted a break or possibly to retire. with stewie leaving he probably wasn't that comfortable.

10 replies

stunner said it during Pro league and thorin also confirmed it in his podcast that jack (in c9) said the info wasnt private and he was allowed to talk about it. the team hadn't been agreeing with each other since before the major which is why stewie wanted to leave. But they didnt see the SK move coming so they thought they had time to work things out, the team wanted a better awper than ska to stay as legitimate top 5 team in the world, they thought that was going to happen before fns was signed

If this one's true, to me, it explains everything. Thanks, bud.

2018-04-15 09:20

glad i could help

2018-04-15 10:47

is this the stewie to sk podcast or what? i find it hard to believe the team wanted a better awper lol

2018-04-15 10:48

They were thinking of a picking a rifler and have some1 like tarik pick up the awp.

2018-04-15 17:22

and where did you hear that? i listened to the whole return by the numbers talk about ska. they said they literally could of gotten cerq or nifty but went with ska. ska is a great rifler and pistoler so that doesn't really make sense

2018-04-16 01:14

plz which podcast was this lol. i can't stand listening to thorin

2018-04-15 11:06

Return of By The Numbers #29. It's on Richards channel

2018-04-15 12:14

ty, do you perhaps remember when they start talking about ska? this is an hour and 40 minutes T.T

nah sorry no clue, someone in comments usually timestamps some stuff but idk

2018-04-15 04:04

who?

2018-04-15 04:05

This team is such a fucking joke LOL so in the end they -stewie2k ( their best player ) + FNS a fkn average shit player... No top talent would sign for them or they couldn't afford any players so they beg average shit player wankdoodle back to help them stay average. What a bunch of shitters LOL

2018-04-15 04:07

Stewie was by far their worst player... Where have you been..

Their best player is autimatic by far

jajaja i'm sorry but if I am a team and I had a choice of any player in C9 for the long run I am 100% forever picking stewie lol.

2018-04-15 04:12

If you are gonna complain about something, at least try and come up with sensible arguments. Don't just start whining like a kid just cuz you hate a certain team LOL. Stewie best choice to pickup he says. Lol this ain't 2016 boy. Wake up. But then again shouldn't have expected anything more from a faze fan, eh?

2018-04-15 04:25

Yeah,you are right Faze Clan fan... To be honest Faze is a "joke" team too,cause they -their best player olof and +an average player Xizt :) Btw,FNS is not bad,if he worked with his aim more and not only strats,he could outplay every single player and become a good player... Also he gave tarik more freedom by taking his igl role and as u can see now tarik is amazing.. P.S. I think stewie was their worst player... 1.He had some moments ,but not many. 2. Was almost always bottom fragging with a role which should never bottom frag.

2018-04-15 06:56

Tarik was amazing even before and Xizt is by far better player than FNS and olof was not their best player and he is not repaced with Xizt,he is going to comeback sooner or later."FNS is not bad,if he worked with his aim"Yeah,just I he could work with is aim,hah,sorry but 80% of this game is about aim,If you'r aim is shit,just don't fucking play in a top team.Your text has a bunch of holes,can't even waste my time to disprove that Stewie was not the worst player in C9.

You have to be blind or retarded to say that stewie wasnt their worst player :D Rushing through the smokes,throwing

2018-04-17 09:49

Soneone is a bit of a glory hunter.....

2018-04-15 11:35

auti and tarik > stewie

2018-04-15 12:17

FNS is a joke?, let see at DH Marseille bruh

2018-04-15 15:57

Damn, game changer

2018-04-15 04:08

NA INACTIVITY LUL wb skadaddy!

good to hear since there aren't enough talents in NA to replace Ska. Don't tell me nifty and cerq could have.. They are good, but aren't nearly the same level as ska.

2018-04-15 04:14

Even if they were they are locked so whatever

2018-04-15 04:36

why not ska is inconsistent af sometimes also cerq didnt peak his full potential yet

2018-04-15 04:40

cerq didnt peak yet which means he gotta prove himself with his current team NRG on tier 1-2 lan. c9 wouldnt wanna pick up someone that's not lan proven. But i agree cerq is young and he can become some big deal in few years

2018-04-15 05:02

well, they already did it with stewie and autimatic rest is history

2018-04-15 05:46

Ska is soooooooooo inconsistent

2018-04-15 04:18

Inb4 C9 won't get to playoffs, like NA alaways. Just saying.

Did he even leave the team? XD

2018-04-15 06:08

ya dude thats skadoodle he always wants attention..

2018-04-15 06:11

he never was gone...so stupid. changed his mind like a 12yo every 5mins

He got kicked m8. When players say they stepped down most of the time they got kicked. Its how teams do things now adays.

2018-04-15 06:25

Not always tho e.g steel with liquid

2018-04-15 11:38

yeah but most of the time

Anything is news-worthy nowadays (^_^')

Nice one!

Nice ond!

2018-04-15 06:32

He also broke up with his gf - artStar. Skadoodle has finally realized that being gay is superior.

2018-04-15 07:26

I knew he was coming back the second they won the match against SK -.-

2018-04-15 07:35

Yeah I think their first game after the FNS pickup was SK and they 2-0'd them. Online of course. But you can already see FNS's impact on the other players. THe success they've had in ECS and EPL came after Stewie left. They almost had too many stars. At this point you gotta hope FNS can place Ska where he can get kills and the core three can keep up this crazy fragging as of late.

2018-04-15 07:44

2018-04-15 15:02

What a surprise, im sure after that first game he knew

2018-04-15 08:01

2018-04-15 08:23

I think Skadoodle does not need much time to get used to without Stewie2K. Let's go, Cloud9!

2018-04-15 08:28

Mate, they already played like 15 maps with this new lineup including FNS, so you are right, he does not need much time to get comfortable wihtout Stewie.

2018-04-15 08:42

-ska +ska great move

2018-04-15 08:49

why u return daddy , we want josh marzano

Skadudu the missnifisent. He is trash so he fits well in a trash team like Clown9

2018-04-15 08:58

2018-04-15 09:18

Agree, not too many top level awpers around in the US so they have to stick with Skadungdung

Seems like cloud9 didnt want to spend money on cerq or Nifty.

sounds more like he decided he will stay and try with FNS. i doubt c9 would try two guys that haven't proven themselves on LAN at all while they know what ska is capable of

2018-04-15 14:03

in the return by the numbers podcast thorin said he talked with someone in c9 and he said "they literally could of gotten one of those mentioned names (nifty/cerq)" but chose not to

Lol they just couldn't find replacement to stand in for him, so they asked him to stand in for him lol technically inactive but was being a nice teammate.

I was to give up on C9 when Ska announced his leave. Then here comes this news. Disappointed for the -Stewie +FNS but still C9 will eventually get back on top. Go C9
