They performed impressively against CLG today =) Their main issues stem from lacking a solid home map—sometimes it’s overwhelming, other times confusing. They struggle with both home and cache maps. Their CT performance is notably weak against international players. They usually achieve a respectable T score but often falter on the easier CT side. Skadoodle could be beneficial since he excels defensively and offers strong offensive potential.
Cloud9's chances depend heavily on Sgarre's development and team coordination. C9 excels in raw accuracy, while Shroud commands respect with his rifle skills and Skadoodle dominates North America. Freakazoid shines as a solid fragger, aligning well with the team's strengths. Most players enjoy landing shots on third or fourth, but veteran experience and callouts are crucial for cohesion. If Sgarre masters leadership and control, they could compete in major tournaments soon. Let Freakazoid refine his game and give Sgarre space to experiment. Streaming is key—get involved and practice regularly. Top European teams train relentlessly; consistency matters more than fame.
Everyone I know exaggerates them a lot, so I’m expecting even more from them.
Yeah, it's all about the pressure. They're really holding their own in the finals against fnatic—seriously, I'm betting on c9. Skadoodle is a real powerhouse. But sometimes he misses those simple shots, though his teammates step in to help. Freakazoid was tough at first, but he's improving. Although, Sean... Sean... Sean... he's one of the sharpest players in CS:GO. (I meant one of the smartest, not the smartest.)
I remain optimistic they will complete at least one more final this year.
