Cloud9 will enter the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals<\/a> with a lot to prove and even more to lose, with their fans expecting results instead of excuses.<\/p>\n

It has not been a good year for the North American team, which has slipped to no.31 in the CS:GO esports<\/a> world rankings. Since the arrival of Daniel “vice” Kim and Ren\u00e9 “cajunb” Borg, the squad holds a less-than-impressive 18-27 record on all maps. What makes that record even worse is that it includes defeats against teams like Luminosity and INTZ, who bested them in the ECS weekly cup.<\/p>\n

Their current lineup, which consists of cajunb, RUSH, autimatic, vice and Golden, has only played three LAN tournaments, failing to impress in every single one of them. Nevertheless, a win over Ghost Gaming back in May was enough to get Cloud9 into the ESL Pro League S9 Finals.<\/p>\n

While such events provide excellent opportunities for teams to prove their worth against the best, the outlook is not promising for Cloud9. They lost to New Identity and The Quest in the Americas Minor Closed Qualifier recently and will head to Montpellier as massive underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
