The 24-year-old led Fnatic to two international titles in March before the Swedes gave Richard \u2018Xizt\u2019 Landstr\u00f6m the title of in-game leader and eventually benched Golden. STYKO, on the other hand, is expected to continue in the role of support player. The Slovakian helped Mousesports to become a permanent top four team in 2017 and 2018, winning a handful of tournaments in the process, but they eventually decided to replace him with Virtus.Pro legend, Janusz \u2018Snax\u2019 Pogorzelski. Cloud9\u2019s roster for the FACEIT London Major in September is still undecided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
