Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov has provided a new batch of insights into the upcoming roster changes in the professional Counter-Strike scene.
According to OverDrive, Cloud9 is interested in signing Alexander "shalfey" Marenov, who currently represents the organization FORZE. Previously, Alexey also mentioned that the new player for the North American club could be Timur "clax" Sabirov.
As Biryukov claims, two more teams are interested in shalfey's candidacy – 9 Pandas and PARIVISION. The "Pandas" plan to bring the player in as a replacement for Denis "seized" Kostin, while in PARIVISION, Marenov's spot should be freed up by Andrey "Jerry" Mekhryakov.
Furthermore, PARIVISION is in talks to acquire coach Artem "Fierce" Ivanov, who, according to insider Vladislav "harumi" Radvilovich, has also received an offer to transfer to 9 Pandas.
Earlier, OverDrive hinted that Cloud9 should be more active in the transfer market to avoid missing out on the opportunity to sign shalfey.
