Five Cloud9 players, who have been together since Gambit Youngsters, can face the first reshuffle. According to Alexey OverDrive Biryukov, Timofey interz Yakushin may leave the American club.

At the same time, the insider also named one of the leading contenders: he is the only remaining player in the Entropiq team, Igor Forester Bezotechesky.

Is Such a Replacement Worth It?

If you compare the indicators of interz and Forester, then a significant difference in shooting is noticeable. It is also worth considering that Igor is more involved in lurking and entries. At the same time, Timofey plays more on the frag exchange and helps with grenades, so the general playstyle of Cloud9 can also change since the next tournament will be held after the winter break.

If the rumours about the replacement turn out to be accurate, then the updated lineup of Cloud9 will perform in February at IEM Katowice 2023. However, because the tournament is held in Poland, Russians may have visa problems. In this case, Forester's full-fledged debut can take place as early as March at EPL Season 17.
