Boombl4 named a player of the new Cloud9 roster - fans did not appreciate it

Cloud9's CS2 team captain Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov recently played a prank on his followers on Telegram. He promised to reveal one of the new members of the revamped roster in exchange for engagement but ended up naming himself.

Boombl4 asked his Telegram followers to give his post 10,000 likes, promising to reveal one of the players in Cloud9's new lineup once the goal was met. However, when the required number of likes was reached, he wrote, "It's me, guys!" He followed this up with a Trollface image and a post saying, "OUR BIG ELEPHANT!!!!"

Boombl4's joke was not well received by his followers. The post garnered mostly negative reactions, and some users even began insulting Mikhailov in the comments.

As of the time of this publication, Cloud9's active roster consists of two players: Boombl4 and Sergey "Ax1Le" Rykhtorov. Following the departures of Denis "electroNic" Sharipov, Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy, and Abai "HObbit" Hasenov, the organization announced their intention to rebuild the team around the remaining duo. However, according to insiders, Cloud9 has encountered difficulties in signing new players.
