HenryG leaves Cloud9 after end of \u201cColossus\u201d CSGO roster DreamHackFollowing the end of Cloud9\u2019s \u2018Colossus\u2019 CS:GO experiment, caster Henry \u2018HenryG\u2019 Grier, who was brought on to lead the project, has left the organization. HenryG joined Cloud9 in September 2020, taking the role of General Manager. He was joined by coach Aleksandar \u2018kassad\u2019 Trifunovi\u0107. At the time, Grier told Dexerto: \u201cMy plans for this team are certainly ambitious.\u201d He explained that he had been given full control of Cloud9\u2019s CS:GO operation. \u201cC9 have entrusted me with their entire CS:GO dynasty and, honestly, I think that\u2019s one of the boldest moves any org has made in a long time.\u201d Unfortunately, the bold move didn\u2019t pan out as planned, as external factors and poor performances from the star lineup lead to its demise. On March 26, Cloud9 confirmed they were exiting CS:GO for the time being. Cloud9 CEO Jack Etienne cited \u201cundue stress and difficulties in providing bootcamps, housing, and the mental health of the players,\u201d largely due to the global health crisis. HenryG parts ways with Cloud9 This spelled the end for HenryG\u2019s time with C9 also, as he confirmed on April 6. He too cites \u201cmitigating circumstances\u201d which prevented his ambition from panning out as intended. While the space is in this strange transition period I have decided to take a sabbatical and enjoy some of the normality that life has to offer. It’s certainly been a while. I will be back eventually when the right opportunity arises. Be good to each other. RIP Cobain. \u2014 HenryG (@HenryGcsgo) April 6, 2021 HenryG will not immediately return to working in esports, and rather will take a sabbatical and \u201cbe back eventually when the right opportunity arises.\u201d Whether this is in team management, a return to casting, or another role within esports, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
