Cloud9 is not only building a new CS:GO roster but making their dealings more public than any organisation has previously commited to doing. The most interesting ones are of course contract length and the value of it. In the case of es3tag, his deal will last three years, starting on 25th of October. It will be worth the most when compared to the other four members, as it valued at $2,100,000.<\/p>\n

“Over the past 6 months, I have grown as a person and a player, and I owe a lot to the organization,” said es3tag in relation to Astralis. “That being said, what Cloud9 is offering me is something I needed to consider seriously. I love the ideas behind the project, and I believe it will be a team to consider in the top of CS for the years to come.”<\/p>\n

Es3tag will join Cloud9 at the end of October due to scheduling with the DreamHack Open Fall<\/a> starting today. Astralis will be using Hansen as an active player, even though the Danish organization currently has two members on the bench – Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth and Lucas “Bubzkji” Andersen. <\/p>\n
