Gen.G reportedly in discussions to sign multiple Cloud9 CSGO players Counter-Strike roster, as well as Bulgarian star Georgi \u2018SHiPZ\u2019 Grigorov, as the North American organization looks to make its first move into the scene. According to a report from DBLTAP, Timothy \u2018autimatic\u2019 Ta and Damian \u2019daps\u2019 Steele are key targets for Gen.G in the ongoing discussions, while the org\u2019s interest in Oscar \u2018mixwell\u2019 Ca\u00f1ellas, Kenneth \u2018koosta\u2019 Suen, and Yassine \u2018Subroza\u2019 Taoufik has not been confirmed. The NA duo would likely be the corner-piece of Gen.G\u2019s first foray into CSGO, with rumors suggesting the dual-signings would be bolstered by the pickup of CR4ZY\u2019s rifler SHiPZ. Cloud9\u2019s roster has struggled to make an impact in international competitions of late, with the team\u2019s struggles bookended by a last-placed finish in ESL Pro League Season 10 that has dropped them into the upcoming relegation tournament. The team also finished last at the most recent BLAST Pro Series in Copenhagen, and 13-16th at DreamHack Dallas. Their last major run also ended prematurely, after they were bundled out of Katowice\u2019s New Legends stage with losses to Astralis, Team Vitality, and FaZe Clan. The organization then forfeit their guaranteed slot for Berlin after a number of roster changes, and the organization failed to re-earn a place at the Verti Music Hall after falling to two unsigned rosters 2-1 and 2-0 in straight sets. Gen.G\u2019s other reported transfer target, Bulgarian star SHiPZ, has only been with his current organization CR4ZY for the past month. The squad won their first event at DreamHack Open Rotterdam with a 2-1 victory over Heroic, earning $50,000 in the process. The potential departures from C9\u2019s roster may go some distance to explaining the \u201cteam troubles\u201d reported by VPEsports, which saw the organization pull out of the DreamHack Atlanta Open despite a $100,000 prize pool for the event. If Gen.G\u2019s moves in the signing market aren\u2019t completed by November 15, however, SHiPZ will appear with CR4ZY at Rotterdam, where they will face teams like INTZ eSports and Heroic. Gen.G have never competed in Counter-Strike before, and the signings of these players would mark the first time the NA organization had joined the circuit. The organization has previously competed in Call of Duty, operates League of Legends scene with the purchase of world championship roster Samsung Galaxy in the LCK in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
