OverDrive Believes That Hobbit Insisted On Signing Buster To Cloud9

Alexey OverDrive Biryukov thinks that Abay Hobbit Khasenov insisted that C9 take Timur buster Tulepov. He expressed his opinion on his YouTube channel.

Of course, Interz is an excellent player. He made lots of kills and supported well. But he needs help in the late stages of Major tournaments. He somehow fails and fails psychologically. When this happens several times, the management understands that this is the top of Interz in this composition. Not in him in general, but specifically in the team. Something needs to be changed. It was Hobbit who insisted on taking the buster.

Does Interz Really Fail During Important Matches?

At IEM Rio Major 2022, Cloud9 performed excellently in the group stage of the tournament and received the status of favorite of the event from the audience, but ultimately failed in the quarterfinals and left the tournament. Was there not enough interz then?

Let's compare two BO3 series: the meeting with Heroic in the group stage and the match against MOUZ in the quarterfinals.

In the match with Heroic, interz performed successfully, shown by its rating of 5.9. Yes, the rating is not the highest, but remember that interz is the support, and he also had sh1ro in the team, who finished the match with a rating of 8.6.

And in the quarterfinals against MOUZ, interz could have done better. His rating was 4.8, which indicates his inefficiency. If he showed a higher level of performance, Cloud9 could emerge victorious from the match.

Buster Doesn't Have Such a Problem?

Buster has much more experience playing in the late stages of Major tournaments. Riefler played in the final of a Major and regularly appeared in the playoffs of tier-1 events. At the same time, he did not notice failures in individual performance. And, most likely, Hobbit paid attention to this and could insist on his signature.

However, will this solve Cloud9's problems? We will find out in the next season.

When Will We See Cloud9's New Lineup?

Now all teams are on winter break, and we will see them in the new season. For Cloud9, the season will begin on January 31st with IEM Katowice 2023.
