Commentator Alex Mauisnake Ellenberg criticized Cloud9 captain Vladislav nafany Gorshkov during journalist Richard Lewis' broadcast. 

It's just anti-captaincy from nafany. Naphony [Ed. Note: a wordplay on nafany's nickname combined with the word "phony"] says, 'Guys, let's split up.' Just like Fred from 'Scooby-Doo.' He says 'split up' and then watches as his comrades die one by one and wonders why the monster catches them all.

And then suddenly Scooby(Ax1le or Sh1ro in the case of Cloud9) takes off the monster's mask at the end of the round and says, 'We did it!' When in fact they only have one survivor left in the round with a terrible economy. And then they split up again. You're literally harming your team with such calls. It's a real spectacle of shame.

As a replacement for nafany, the commentator suggested three IGLs: Jerry, chopper, and Boombl4. The last one was recently signed by 1WIN.

Who would be the best fit from the proposed trio?

It is still too early to make any definitive conclusions about Boombl4's form and shooting from his recent matches, which is less critical for captains but still important for the team. Therefore, let's compare nafany, Jerry, and chopper.

Statistics show that chopper looks like a significant upgrade. He surpasses Gorshkov not only in shooting but also in grenade efficiency, except for HE. The only potential problem for Cloud9 with chopper could be the price tag, which Spirit could raise for an important player, and the willingness of the American club to pay more than a hundred thousand dollars.
