mixwell: "I will be here if Cloud9 need me [as a stand-in]"

Former OpTic and G2 member Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas has admitted that he is ready to play for Cloud9 at ESL One Cologne if the North Americans need him.

The Spanish player had been touted as a potential stand-in for Cloud9 in Cologne, but the ELEAGUE Major Boston champions are believed to have since turned their attention to Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk.

The 22-year-old Slovakian is currently available after being replaced by Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski on MOUZ' roster, but it is unclear at this point whether ESL will give the move the green light - with the event scheduled to start on Tuesday.

On Twitter, mixwell admitted that he would jump at the chance to represent Cloud9 in Cologne, but he made it clear that he has no intention to move back to North America after spending almost two years abroad while playing for OpTic Gaming.

"Cloud9 need to play with a potential fifth member, I will be here if they need someone to stand in, but I do not want to go back to North America right now," the Spaniard wrote.

"I have been in the same situation with OpTic, where it was really hard to find someone.

"I wish them luck because they are good guys and a great team!"

mixwell is currently open to offers after a short-lived spell with G2, with whom he attended DreamHack Masters Marseille and IEM Sydney.

Cloud9 are in the market for a new fifth player after moving Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta to the transfer list just four months after the Canadian was signed from compLexity.
