“C9 have entrusted me with their entire CS:GO dynasty and, honestly, I think that’s one of the boldest moves any org has made in a long time,” he says. “Kassad and I are only focused on following our specific blueprint for a world-class CS unit that can challenge for the trophies. I think you’ll all be very excited with what we’ve put together so far. We have the resources, staff and connections to create the best possible opportunities for pro CS:GO players, right now.” <\/p>\n
At first glance, it looks like HenryG is aiming to create a top tier team, which will be composed of big names of star names from CS:GO. He clearly underlines the wish of forming a squad capable of lifting major trophies in the future. The player’s names who are to be involved in the project are still to be revealed.<\/p>\n
We do know of one huge CS:GO personality, that will be working closely with Greer. It is renowned coach, Aleksandar “kassad” Trifunović.<\/p>\n
Kassad will be positioned as the coach in the new-look Cloud9 team. (Picture: ESL)<\/span><\/p>\nThe Serbian’s last coaching stint was with 100 Thieves, which he had to leave in late April. The reasoning was pretty simple – the Australian-based team wasn’t delivering the results. Now has an opportunity to redeem himself as a top tier coach.<\/p>\n
