Cloud9 is set to remove its support CS:GO player Timofey “interz” Yakushin, according to recent reports following their elimination in the IEM Rio Major quarterfinals in November. Overall, the community seems divided about this roster change, but caster Mohan “launders” Govindasamy is completely against it.
For launders, C9 showed resilience during IEM Rio Major after pulling off more comebacks than any other team. They could easily have lost to FaZe Clan and Natus Vincere in the Legends Stage, but instead, they recovered during these matches and moved on to also beat Heroic before the playoffs. What was looking like a championship run, ended with an underwhelming performance versus MOUZ and resulted in elimination.
