Cloud9 CS:GO set to pickup another up-and-comer after Infinite ruled out over racist remarks ELeagueCloud9\u2019s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster are set to switch their focus when it comes to finding a stand-in replacement for Swedish in-game leader Maikil \u2018Golden\u2019 Kunda Selim ahead of the upcoming IEM Katowice Major. Golden, who has struggled with medical issues, is set to miss the upcoming Major event after missing a number of recent tournaments. Cloud9 have rotated stand-in players when he has been unable to play \u2013 with the most recent being young Danish star Ismail \u2018refrezh\u2019 Ali. The team had been linked with a move for Gage \u2018Infinite\u2019 Green but after it had been discovered that the player made a number of racist comments, the CS:GO community vocally called out the organisation for considering signing him. Now, according to VPEsports\u2019 Jarek \u2018DeKay\u2019 Lewis, the team has switched their focus to Swole Patrol\u2019s Jordan \u2018Zellsis\u2019 Montemurro to fill-in for Golden. Whilst replacing Golden for the event would see Cloud9 fall foul of the \u2018three core players\u2019 rule, the team could use the newly-implemented emergency loan clause that allows teams to make an emergency transfer due to medical or transport issues. With Golden sidelined, Cloud9 would also have to hand over their in-game leader duties to another player \u2013 most likely Robin \u2018flusha\u2019 R\u00f6nnquist. 500Update: Cloud9 have now officially confirmed Zellsis as their fifth player, on a trial period. We are happy to announce that @Zellsis will be joining us on a trial period for #C9CSGO, starting at @iBUYPOWER Masters IV.
