The disastrous start to 2021 for the new Cloud9 roster continued this evening with a defeat at Snow Sweet Snow 2 to the Russian roster from Winstrike.
Both teams lost their map pick 16-10, which left Dust2 as the decider. Here Winstrike proved too strong for Cloud9 to match. Again it was evident, that the self-proclaimed “Colossus” lacks a designated AWP’er among their players. Patrick ‘es3tag’ Hansen’s firepower is missing when he has to be the stand-in sniper for the team. His performance against Winstrike was once again way below his standards.
Winstrike took home Dust2 with 16-10 and is now ready for the Semi-Finals at Snow Sweet Snow 2. Here they will face HAVU from Finland. Cloud9’s next fixture is the 19th of March against Natus Vincere in ESL Pro League Season 13.
Cloud9 – Winstrike 1-2 (10-16, 16-10, 10-16)
MVP: Viktor ‘Lack1’ Boldyrev – 1.28 rating / 65-48 K-D / 81.3 ADR
