Cloud9 part ways with interz

Cloud9 have no starting roster left after their entire squad departed during the latest player break.

interz enjoyed two stints playing for Cloud9

Cloud9 have announced the departure of Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin, meaning the entire squad that competed for Cloud9 in their last tournament outing, Perfect World Shanghai Major, has now left the team.

G2 announce HeavyGod signing

interz was part of the former Gambit roster that Cloud9 signed early in 2022, before finding himself benched in 2023 amidst struggles with his individual level.

The 24-year-old returned to Cloud9 for a second stint in July 2024, forming part of the rebuild that saw Nikita "⁠HeavyGod⁠" Martynenko and Kaisar "⁠ICY⁠" Faiznurov also join the team. Said iteration of the roster achieved little of note over the back half of 2024, failing to make headway in qualifiers for significant LAN events.

They did, however, make it to Perfect World Shanghai Major, where they exited in the Opening Stage with a single map win to their name. In the wake of their early Major exit, the roster has been picked apart, with ICY joining Virtus.pro, HeavyGod joining G2, and Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov and Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov linking up with BetBoom.

Maybe C9 thinks it's impossible to sell him for reasonable money, so they just decided to stop paying him salary.

IEM Dallas curse concludes as last player that won that event leaves the team. Worked even faster for ENCE - they managed to fall to T2 and lose all their players within a year. I wonder how long it would take for latest winners. G2 won in 2024 and already only 2 players are remaining.
