Cloud9’s coach has brought in an exceptional trio featuring Nikita "⁠HeavyGod⁠" Martynenko (from OG), Kaisar "⁠ICY⁠" Faiznurov9 (from AMKAL), and Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin (from TSM). Earlier, electroNic was acquired by Virtus.Pro in April. Meanwhile, Perfecto and HObbit got benched due to their poor performances in early 2024.

Additionally, according to his recent social media posts, he can communicate in Russian. This will be a massive help for Boombl4 and Ax1Le to have someone on the team who knows their native language.

ICY is also a great addition to this roster. This 19-year-old AWPer recently had his first-ever pro LAN experience at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. Despite his team failing to qualify for the playoffs, the prodigy had showcased a stellar performance.

Lastly, it’s a homecoming for the flex player ⁠interz⁠ as he was an integral part of the Cloud9 squad during 2022-23. He is most likely to fit in perfectly with the team and provide numerous exceptional performances throughout 2024.

With the addition of these three exceptional players, the Cloud9 squad looks like this:
