CS:GO: Cloud9 to field stand-in for in-game leader Golden at ECS Finals ELEAGUEJust as Cloud9\u2019s CS:GO team looked to finally find some stability, another change appears to be on the horizon. This time though, it\u2019s not a permanent change but rather a temporary one. As the American-European mixed roster heads into ECS Season 6 finals in Texas, in-game leader Maikil \u2018Golden\u2019 Kunda Selim looks set to miss the event, with coach Soham \u2018valens\u2019 Chowdhury stepping in. The news came about when a message posted by Cloud9 rifler William \u2018RUSH\u2019 Wierzba in Faceit\u2019s pro-league hub was screenshotted and posted to the Global Offensive subreddit. \u201cMikey add valens he\u2019s ready to que man,\u201d reads RUSH\u2019s post. \u201cHe\u2019s our player for this event.\u201d There is no official word from either Cloud9, Faceit or Golden himself on his status, but with the IGL nowhere to be seen on the team\u2019s media day photos, it looks as if he will miss out.

At the recent Blast Pro Series Copenhagen event, the former pro player played in place of the Swedish IGL for a day as Golden dealt with a medical issue. At the Copenhagen event valens performed valianty in his two appearances, helping Cloud9 push Natus Vincere all the way despite falling to a 16-13 loss before turning around and defeating MIBR 16-13. Despite only qualifying for the ECS finals on the back of Renegades not being able to participate, C9 would have been looking to play another lan event with their new roster after recent addition of French player Fabian \u2018Kioshima\u2019 Fiey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
