CS2 analyst Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez commented on the disbandment of Cloud9's core lineup. On social media platform X, he admitted that he believed in this team, but the collective failed to live up to his expectations.
"The Cloud9 super lineup is likely the biggest disappointment in modern CS history.
Of course, I too believed in the success of this team. Even with restrained expectations for electroNic as a captain, I thought this lineup would achieve results.
I was wrong"
Cloud9 officially announced the departure of Perfecto and Hobbit from the lineup on April 22. The club also terminated its partnership with analyst Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov. Rumors suggest that coach Konstantin "Groove" Pikiner will leave the team, with Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov taking his place. Club CEO Jack Etienne stated that the new roster will be built around Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov and Sergey "Ax1Le" Rykhtorov.
