The Cloud9 roster for Counter-Strike 2 is holding training sessions with Team Spirit Academy player Daniil "alpha" Dyomin. This information was shared by the Russian-speaking insider solutioN00 on a private Telegram channel, citing their own sources.
SolutioN00 did not specify the prospects of former Sprout captain replacing recently departed Denis "electroNic" Sharipov. Earlier, another insider, Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov, stated that Cloud9 might only introduce a stand-in player shortly, rather than a full-fledged member of the starting lineup.
On April 15th, it became known that electroNic left the Cloud9 lineup and joined Virtus.pro, replacing Nikolay "mir" Bityukov. Following this, C9 withdrew from participating in ESL Pro League Season 19 due to the transfer. However, representatives of the American organization clarified that the team will compete in the qualifiers for the Esports World Cup 2024 in CS2, which will take place on April 19-20.
