Forester, SANJI And Buster Are the Main Candidates to Replace Interz

Cloud9 is considering three players.

Cloud9 tests Igor Forester Bezotechesky, Sanjar SANJI Kuliev and Timur buster Tulepov to replace Timofey interz Yakushin.

Alexey Overdrive Biryukov and HLTV.org report that Cloud9 is considering Forester, SANJI and Buster to replace Interz. Earlier, Overdrive reported that the decision to replace Interz was made and talked about two candidates for the player's place. Additionally, HLTV.org reported that there is a third player on the test: buster.

Will Replacing Interz Solve the Team's Problems?

Cloud9 finally decided to change the gaming style, but did the team choose the right path? The American club showed good results throughout the year and even won one tournament - IEM Dallas. However, the team failed twice at the Majors, being one of the favourites.

This especially hit the team at the IEM Rio Major. After the group stage, Cloud9 looked like the tournament's main favourites but lost to a weak opponent in the first match of the playoffs. But is einterz really should be blamed for this?

The player performed terribly at the IEM Rio Major, his average rating after the Challengers stage was 5.3, and in the quarterfinals against MOUZ, he scored 4.8. Also, he did not cope with his role of support, so this tournament can be considered a failure. But let's look at other events.

For example, at ESL Pro League Season 16, interz got a rating of 6.1 and worked amazingly with flash grenades. The same applies to other tournaments, except PGL Major Antwerp 2022, which interz finished with a rating of 5.4. So, there were only failures on Major. So is it worth changing him?

For example, FaZe Clan analyst Vyacheslav Innersh1ne Brytvyn considers the interz kick a mistake.

I think this is a mistake. It is unlikely that replacing a defender/lurker will change anything for the better for Cloud. Rather, it is necessary to change the playbook a lot. Sh1ro switches to a more aggressive style and, in general, changes the approach to the game - to become a more free team in terms of playing style.

However, according to rumours, the decision has already been made, and it remains to be determined who will be chosen by Cloud9.

Who Will Be Signed?

The most likely option for Cloud9 is Forester from Entropiq. The player has long established himself as an excellent player who performs well and shows impressive statistics regardless of the team's results.

Lately, Entropiq has slipped in shape and results, but not Forester. However, Rifler maintains his high level of play and is not ready to stop.

As for buster and SANJI, we need more data about them. SANJI has been inactive for over a year, and buster left the pro scene six months ago, and after that, he never found a team.

The only thing that can be said is that buster is better than SANJI since the Uzbek player looked much weaker throughout 2021.

When Will Cloud9 Play?

The season for Cloud9 has come to an end, the team did not make it to BLAST Premier World Final 2022, so the team will have a lot of time to test new players and rebuild the lineup.
