STYKO to stay with Cloud9 through September - Report

9-8-2018 16:27

Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk will remain with Cloud9 at least until the end of BLAST Pro Series Istanbul, according to a report from vpesports.com.

After the Turkish event, Cloud9 will reevaluate the team's situation and decide the future of the Slovakian, who has already played two tournaments with the squad while on loan from MOUZ.

HLTV.org knows that STYKO will travel to California in the coming days as the team will begin preparations for the FACEIT Major, where they will be in action in the New Legends stage, kicking off on September 12. After the showpiece event, the team will travel to Istanbul for the RFRSH-run competition, which will be held on September 28-29.

STYKO will attend the FACEIT Major and BLAST Pro Series with C9

Cloud9 made headlines on Wednesday as they completed the signing of Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim from fnatic. The Swedish player had already led the team at ELEAGUE Premier, where the current Major champions were eliminated in the group stage following defeats to Astralis and MIBR.

The report means that Cloud9 will compete at these two events with:

Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham
Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim
Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk (stand-in)

Unexpected move! I dont expect much from this C9 line-up, maybe they will be able to beat bad teams like mibr.

and mibr

2018-08-09 17:12

At least all the MiBR players have at least a major. Pretending to be a top team like G2 without having a single major and changing your roster like idiots it's not a good decision lmao.

Photo of STYKO on this thread is so accurate xd "Hell yeah, i just got mayor stickers without doing shit."

Yes, of course.. He only managed to make legend status with Mouz in Boston :) kys

2018-08-09 17:08

So what? He is not on that lineup anymore, smartass...

2018-08-09 21:32

so what? he is done shit anyway

2018-08-10 10:16

i guarantee half of the people hating on styko are fanboys of much worse players lmao

2018-08-09 16:41

2018-08-09 17:13

Who is worse than styko?

2018-08-09 19:26

xar- nevermind

2018-08-09 20:00

Yeaa that's what I thought

2018-08-10 10:36

C9 don't wanna sped a dime. Exactly why tarik left. Who the fuck wants to play with styko. They were best NA team at that time. Could've brought any player from NA scene.

2018-08-09 16:42

autimatic need to step up or they will not win a single match with this lineup

both auti and ska

2018-08-09 17:55

right now maybe yes but scream would just need right role and right team to prove he is amongst the best.

2018-08-09 17:57

cant prove something that isnt true anymore

2018-08-09 18:05

wow....probably no better players in free agents.

RIP C9 scream

scream... :(

rip lol

remember how they were going to BLAST because of tarik mostly lul

they decided to skip their hometown tournament esl new york because of tarik lul

and now tarik is gone lul

2018-08-09 17:19

stronk LU LMFAO

2018-08-09 17:17

styko is bad for c9

OMEGALUL

If they bothered to put the effort in they could be decent but their lazy fucks

2018-08-09 17:31

Styko is not as good as a t1 team player should be. He is a really good t2-3 player, his level is about HR or something like this:D

2018-08-09 17:36

Stickos haha

2018-08-09 17:47

Fucking rip

good luck martin

.. you need it ;8

2018-08-09 17:54

noone else wants to play with clown9

2018-08-09 17:58

If they begin practicing now, they should keep styko. They can't just remove him, if they do they'll have to practice all the way back up again, and that's pretty stupid imho...

not enough firepower unless golden brings something out of skadoodle

2018-08-09 18:13

So styko at major with c9 since roaster lock was 5.august

2018-08-09 18:16

Useless player like me, but he is in c9

I would say its better choice to take styko over scream, but i would much rather see cromen or some lesser know player with high rating. Gl anyways tho

2018-08-09 18:43

1+ for cromen

2018-08-11 06:36

rip +scream hype hahahahhaha

2018-08-09 18:44

Ouch...really wish Cloud9 got a better stand-in or signed someone on a permanent basis. Best of luck to Cloud9 though, hope they can at least get some decent placings in all of their events they will be participating in.

Yea, people know that he can be insane, its just a matter of time when he comes back to a good form.

2018-08-09 20:22

Yea he can but imo there is big pressure on him. Like he had hard time even to play with mouze cuz he knew they wanted to kick him. Imo he can do much better but its hard for him rn.

2018-08-09 20:25

Yea... Mentallity takes a big part in cs.

2018-08-09 21:33

He was shit with all firepower he had in team . idont wanna imagine hwo bad styko gonna be with no one carrying him,i mean Golden,rush,skadoodle lmao

2018-08-10 00:30

Cuz his role wasnt getting frags? But playing around team maybe? He sacrificed himself for team. Back in HR he played much better.

2018-08-10 10:54

Did u saw styko at cologne and eleague ? Lulz

2018-08-10 14:48

Ye he played against astralis 4 maps with new team

2018-08-10 14:55

why

2018-08-09 19:37

HAHAHHAHHA rip c9 so stupid..that team is dead af...

GL STYKO

- Styko + NBK

2018-08-09 20:05

Yea, maybe then add 3 more igls... NBK said he wants to igl, so does Golden..

2018-08-09 20:21

Doesnt mean he has to but I doubt they'd pay the buyout anyway

2018-08-09 21:47

Out of top30 inc :joy:

2018-08-09 20:44

They didnt do terrible with this lineup at Eleague, with some adjustments I can see them doing well.

2018-08-09 21:37

5 replies

they didn't win a single map how is that not terrible

2018-08-10 01:59

I mean they had 2 brand new people and went into OT in 2 maps vs liquid and astralis its not like they where stomped.

2018-08-10 02:02

true but after that major win i expected much more from them...now it is just sad

2018-08-10 02:19

There 2 igl's and impact players left... Cant expect same performance as major until they rebuild.

2018-08-10 05:30

Why they didnt took sick

2018-08-10 14:47

RIP Screamz

2018-08-09 21:45

i've said it before i'll say it again. any roster change just a month prior to the major would DESTROY the team's chemistry let them work as is since they're together for a month + in the end of the day they were the only team to give astralis a shot on eleague where they took them to OT on inferno

2018-08-09 22:20

SKA GOLDEN AND STYKO ON THE SAME TEAM GOING FOR THE MAJOR D OMEGALUL C

why people talk trash to styko? I mean he was amazing player in mouz, he did all dirty job... and hes not even that bad like people think/talk. I have big respect for this guy

2018-08-10 00:34

Ahh.. I thought it will be shroud and jordan but nm

2018-08-10 00:58

Honestly if they were going to do a two month try out why not pull in Crommen? The team isn't retarded. They know they need firepower. Unless Rush finally makes that push into star player form which is unlikely they aren't going anywhere. Rush is a good player but just that. Skadoodle is done. Autimatic will have to go off like Simple if they want to win at all. He's capable but only if someone is making space for him. That's why he and Stewie were such a great 1-2. Seems that the entire former C9 lineup is in a worse place then they were a year ago. In fact scratch that they are in a worse place then they were a year ago. Also Richard Lewis's piece about Stewie making the right decision because he was jumping into the unknown kind of makes me laugh. Signing with MIBR means moving accross the street. it's not like Stew and Tarik are in Sweden or something. Goddamn this team is testing my patience.

2018-08-10 01:17

I want styko to find a team but this isnt the team.

2018-08-10 02:27

UNLUCKO

2018-08-10 03:21

They know what this lineup is going to give them and its not good...Why would you try and run it back when you know the only team you can beat in this legends stage is maybe winstrike? Feel like they should'vejust tried to gamble on a person like Scream who has no buyback, or just some random fpl talent.

2018-08-10 06:14

Golden is an ok pick up but you cant pick up Styko as well. Both of them are not great when it comes to fragging, which isn't good considering Rush is out of form right now and Skadoodle is never consistent. Not a line up that will be together long

2018-08-10 08:09

xaxax

2018-08-10 08:39

2 support players, a garbage awper and role player can't see how this will fail

2018-08-10 09:03

expected and dissapoined

2018-08-10 09:23

RUSH - mediocre support player STYKO - no firepower skadoodle - washed up Golden - good IGL but no firepower autimatic - good player but not motivated because he has to play with the other 4 gg

2018-08-10 11:38

Styko is support and Rush is in more of a star player role with Auti now.

2018-08-12 13:37

STYKO - support, YES, not a contradiction to anything I wrote. RUSH - star player - how do you come to this conclusion? On CT side he is only playing anchor roles and does not have a lot of freedom. On T side, he neither lurks nor does he go in first.
