kioShiMa joins Cloud9's ESEA roster

12-11-2018 17:19

Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey looks set to finish out the year with Cloud9 after joining the North American team's ESEA roster.

The French player was added to the roster before the ESL Pro League registration deadline and could feature in the team's last four matches in the competition, against Ghost and NRG.

He acted as a stand-in for the North American team at BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen, where he helped the ELEAGUE Major Boston champions to finish in fifth place, with victories over MIBR and FaZe.

kioShiMa replaces Skadoodle on C9's ESEA roster

After the event, VPEsports.com reported that Cloud9 were contemplating the possibility of tying kioShiMa down to a permanent contract as a replacement for Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham, who stepped down from the competitive scene last month and is no longer on the team's ESEA roster.

Cloud9 are currently in eighth place in the ESL Pro League, with seven victories from 18 matches, and are nine points adrift of the qualification places for the season finals. The North American side are also confirmed for BLAST Pro Serie Lisbon, which will be held on December 14-15, with $250,000 on offer.

Deserves better but has no offers :/

2018-11-16 01:58

lol instead of g2

Well... i mean sure i thought as well that he would join G2 with ScreaM. But, imo its nice seeing him test a bit more outside of French scene and in NA scene. :)

Test a bit, excause me, but what the fuck. He played 3 years international

2018-11-12 18:28

lmao

2018-11-12 19:06

"test a bit more" Can you fucking read Heinrich? Since he basically failed in France and isnt getting picked up by G2/Vitality (Maybe picked up by 3DMAX we will see) he should try in EU/NA.

c9 must be full na

Look at G2 trying out new talent. Why C9 can't just do the same? They are going to be shit regardless working with flusha. Why not take a chance on a young, up and coming talent? At least you have some potential to look forward to. You know exactly what you are getting with this roster (and its not good)

7 replies

Kio isn't exactly young / up and coming, he's just consistently decent

2018-11-12 17:41

Did I ever say he was?

2018-11-13 04:39

I agree flusha is way past his prime, last year he was good was in 2016

2018-11-12 19:02

iem katowice 2018?

Yeah that's the last event he was good. I'm talking about consistently over a year

2018-11-12 19:16

WESG?

2018-11-13 22:25

Honestly idk, but what i do know is that flusha will never be in 2014 or 2015 form ever again

2018-11-14 22:10

Stewie was never likeable. Seeing his face and typical NA streamer smiles on YT on every 2nd thumbnail was and is still tilting.

2018-11-12 18:56

Thank you

2018-11-12 20:27

Stewie and shroud in the thumbnail + retarded 5 second jasonr clip as an intro = thousands and thousands of clicks

2018-11-12 20:33

so true. This is so autistic But now the new Thumbnail-Shit is Scream man... when he only hits 1 fucking One-tap in DM those thots are like "OMFG SCREAM INSANE 6283916IQ ONE TAP STRAIGHT OUTTA SATANS HELL" or smth like this

2018-11-12 20:37

OMFG BRAX IS IMPRESSED BY FLUSHA, OBO SHOWS WHY HE BELONGS IN FPL Most of the crap in those videos is just clickbait and/or reddit clips of pugstars dicking around in fpl. Garbage content.

2018-11-12 21:42

Why do you guys even watch that shit if you hate it.

2018-11-12 23:46

+1 they sound like professional cs videos critics but they complain alot

2018-11-13 02:11

Stewie had fire that was rare in NA. He wasn't a pussy. Look at Liquid. All sopping wet vagina boys. Stewie didn't take shit. Then he turned into a bitch snake and abandoned the team that gave his tank headed ass a chance

2018-11-13 04:41

Stewie was my favourite player since 2016. Then when he left i hated him. Feel like he has a very polarising personality.

2018-11-13 12:08

POG

ez the problem

lil

Omg it was not a bait

Dollar dollar dollar

flusha needs Excel.exe I think

OMEGALUL

-rush +ScreaM ez

lol no

the bait was not real

THE PROBLEM

No pure awper for C9 ?

2018-11-12 17:24

Auto awps

i said "pure awper", auti is a rifler (lurker)

He's really decent on the AWP imo + he seems to have fun with it

2018-11-12 18:12

The "fun" part is important I think, considering he's said in the recent past that csgo doesn't excite him as much anymore and that he looks forward to playing Fortnite more. I think everyone plays better if they're having fun, job or not.

2018-11-12 20:12

Well, he is the awper now, its like when jdm left and nitro became the awper

2018-11-12 18:39

hope he made a great performance

2018-11-12 19:49

Well he used to be a main awper earlier in his career. At least that’s what he said in an interview

2018-11-13 20:16

Do you know who has been awping with Kio in the team?

EU C9, WHAT THE FUCK

Nope international c9

2018-11-12 18:05

yeah, kinda, but their logo will have eu's flag since there are 3 europeans on the team

2018-11-12 18:10

I don't think so but maybe Should be world flag

No, it should be EU flag

2018-11-12 19:05

no, i like everyone in the world so it should be world

2018-11-12 19:31

3 eu players in na team x)

NA ORG god ur brain is little

2018-11-12 17:34

And playing in na as a na team

The Problem <3

Thank God

k1o(C) feelsgodman

Kio yay

Pretty solid squad with practice. They did decent at BLAST

2018-11-13 04:28

good for him that he left that baguette scene behind good that he is leaving g2 to rot in their own shit :)

THE SOLUTION :O

2018-11-12 17:29

lets fuckin' gooo

clown9 getting smart. replace na players with eu players

god kio

with this roster from major champions to direct dogshit stew/ska/tarik shouldnt e allowed to leave. i hate this roster changes, na teams should stay with na players, this is not dota or lol teams. :/ na brain at his finest.

Ska was kinda trash

2018-11-12 22:06

As much as i dont like this too, Kio is an amazing pickup, and Golden was a needed pickup. Flusha wasnt so needed and he seems the most replaceable out of the 3 EUs so maybe theyll go for a new star rifler from NA.

2018-11-13 12:10

Very much expected

Im sure C9 wants to stay with a NA core in the near future. I really wouldn't be surprised to see a transfer of flusha or benching and sign another American player to get that back.

2018-11-12 17:36

Good NA players are already on better teams tho

2018-11-12 17:37

All of the known players are a long shot to get, they would have to go for an up and comer and take that risk.

2018-11-12 17:55

Mate just give it 6 months, flusha will leave eventually, he's terrible or hell get kicked

Sick name, just need zywoo to headbutt gob b or something now

2018-11-12 18:07

>EU >C9 pick one

EU9 ez

Houston, we have a problem

Nt ahmad

2018-11-12 18:42

rip kioking career

He had no team for 6 months now . what do you mean ?

GG kio

2018-11-12 17:44

the player that can't lie or his nose gets big PinoKIO

who joins who?

2018-11-12 17:47

serie gud

2018-11-12 17:48

who

I think this move is being made essentially to push C9 back into being a top 10-15 team so they can attract NA talent again. I doubt Kio or Flusha is on the team after the next major. Which as a C9 fan I'm okay with. It kind of works out for everyone. These players get a chance while hungry to show they still have chops. C9 gets their premier NA destination card back.

Something had to be done anyways

2018-11-12 18:16

I agree

True

2018-11-12 21:17

Problem <3

2018-11-12 17:59

C9 soon full eu since auti will go to liquid

2018-11-12 18:09

HYPER POGGERS

Good move, i hope they sign him permanently. As an eu C9 fan i don't give a shit if it's becoming an international team

2018-11-12 18:11

C9 wasted spot on any event, doesnt matter who will join

do you think the same for MIBR ?

2018-11-12 18:17

mibr can be relevant if they pick two brasilian players

2018-11-12 18:18

beats faze and mibr in blast pro with 2 standins, almost beats navi and astralis. Not quite a wasted spot are they

2018-11-12 22:18

bo1 format its lottery , all knows this

2018-11-13 09:08

loses 5 lotteries then drops out of Chicago with 2 bo3s if you mean MIBR is good rn As for C9 wasted spot, doesnt matter if its bo1, they have proven they have potential with this lineup to cause a lot of damage. They did play 5 maPS, it wasnt .like a one map win against faze or something. Especially over 3 different maps they didnt drop the ball on any (except maybe the NIP one). So C9 deserve more of a chance than any tier 2 NA team rn for sure and are not a wasted spot. Meanwhile MIBR with all their invites have been going out near last in their last 3 tourneys
