Cloud9 in talks with Elmapuddy - Report

5-1-2021 15:14

The Australian is on the verge of a return to Cloud9, where he had a brief spell as an assistant coach in late 2019.

Cloud9 are on the verge of signing Gen.G's Chris "⁠Elmapuddy⁠" Tebbit, according to a report from Rush B Media. Cloud9's General Manager, Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer, has confirmed that the organization is in deep talks with the Australian coach and stated that the negotiations are going well.

"While nothing has been made official as of yet, it is no secret that we are in deep talks with Elmapuddy," HenryG told Rush B Media. "He's an absolutely fantastic coach and negotiations are going extremely well. I can't wait to update you all later in the week."

Elmapuddy is close to returning to Cloud9

Cloud9 have been looking for a new coach since parting ways with Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović at the end of 2020 after only four months together, due to a stylistic clash between the Serbian coach and the team's in-game leader, Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin.

Elmapuddy is currently in Gen.G's ranks, having transferred to the American-Korean organization from Cloud9 at the end of 2019. In mid-December last year, the 24-year-old was allowed to explore his options as he was transfer-listed by Gen.G alongside the rest of the lineup, featuring Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand, Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta, and Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen.

Before his first stint outside of his home country as Cloud9's assistant coach, the Australian stood behind ORDER, which at the time featured names such as Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas, Jordan "⁠Hatz⁠" Bajic, and Alistair "⁠aliStair⁠" Johnston, and Dark Sided.

The news follows an earlier report from Tuesday by HLTV.org and 1pv.fr, which brought to light Cloud9's plans of signing ex-Chaos member Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach. With his and Elmapuddy's signing, the roster would look as follows:

Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin
Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker
William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman
Ricky "⁠floppy⁠" Kemery
Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen
Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach

Chris "⁠Elmapuddy⁠" Tebbit (coach)

2021-01-05 15:28

Yea. Like these 2 players are really good & this could be a top 15 if you ask me, but i don't think it will be top 5 or 10 but 10 is at least possiple (As 5 is aswell ofc, but i don't think it will)

2021-01-05 15:25

I guess he had not many options due to the coaching bug scandal

Huh?

2021-01-05 15:59

henryG had not many options for a new coach

2021-01-05 16:32

Well, probably not. But, Elmapuddy is a good option.

2021-01-05 16:49

he said that on the last episode of by the numbers but never mind :) edit: why is elmapuddy a good option?

HYPE

2021-01-05 15:58

:DDDD come on, he might be entertaining but he's no coach. He overanalyses situations in a way, that he describes teams' actions as intentional, when they actually weren't. It's ridicilous how HenryG falls for the biggest pretenders and I truly feel bad for es3tag ending up playing under this org.

2021-01-05 16:04

best move they could make

2021-01-05 16:07

They have Alex so who cars about clown9

i thought this was gonna happen the day that kassad left

2021-01-06 02:19

C9 spending loads of cash. Cant see them breaking into the top 10 with those players tho. Average players, ppl like xeppa, meezi and alex will never be top players

2021-01-06 08:56

Xeppa is sick On a good day he can carry c9 easily, it seems that you don't know his qualities pretty well

2021-01-06 10:51

Lmao

2021-01-06 23:58

Great Youtube videos got him this far, true story :D

2021-01-07 03:00

POG, he did what he could with Gen.G, and coached them to a DREAMHACK win on their first try! Even got them to qualify for Road to Rio... That will be huge for Cloud9!

2021-01-07 08:29

I think Brits are problem, first Kassad out, now Woxic. Looks like everyone who doesnt like what Henry and his british poodle Alex are doing are out of team.
