Cloud9 confirm Mixwell as part of major CS:GO roster rebuild L: ESL, R: FACEIT\/Joe BradyCloud9 have announced a major overhaul to their CS:GO roster, replacing almost the entire line-up. The organization revealed on July 2 that they have brought in four new players to the team, confirming a previous report by Dexerto\u2019s Jarek \u2018DeKay\u2019 Lewis. Joining the roster are NRG in-game leader Damian \u2018Daps\u2019 Steele, former Ghost Gaming player Kenneth \u2018Koosta\u2019 Suen, Tyson \u2018TenZ\u2019 Ngo, and \u00d3scar \u2018mixwell\u2019 Ca\u00f1ellas Colocho, best known for his time on OpTic Gaming. Of the previous Cloud9 squad, only Timothy \u2018autimatic\u2019 Ta remains on the active line-up. The new players replace William \u2018Rush\u2019 Wierzba, who will be moved to the bench, Maikil \u2018Golden\u2019 Selim Rahim, who is currently on loan to Ninjas in Pyjamas and will play at the StarLadder Berlin Major with them, Daniel \u2018vice\u2019 Kim and Rene \u2018Cajunb\u2019 Borg, who will be departing the organization entirely. The new line-up is set to make their debut at BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles, taking place on July 13-14, where they will face several of the strongest teams currently competing in North America in Team Liquid, NRG, MiBR, and Renegades, with FaZe Clan rounding out the event\u2019s line-up. The move comes after a gradual decline in Cloud9\u2019s results, with the final nail in the coffin coming as they crashed out of the online qualifier for the Americas Minor with consecutive losses to New Identity and The Quest. The upsets cost Cloud9 any chance of appearing at the StarLadder Berlin Major, despite the fact that the organization would have already held a spot if they\u2019d kept at least three of the players that competed for them at the previous Major, IEM Katowice. In addition to the player changes, Cloud9 also announced that former coach Soham \u2018valens\u2019 Chowdhury will be moving to a Data Scientist role and supporting new head coach James \u2018JamezIRL\u2019 Macauley, who coached Ghost Gaming prior to the team being disbanded. Cloud9\u2019s new roster: Timothy \u2018autimatic\u2019 Ta – Damian \u2018daps\u2019 Steele – Kenneth \u2018Koosta\u2019 Suen – Tyson \u2018TenZ\u2019 Ngo – \u00d3scar \u2018mixwell\u2019 Ca\u00f1ellas Colocho –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
