The clouds are moving fast in autumn. On September 7th everything went extremely fast in Santa Monica. The leader of the CS:GO division of Cloud9 was Henry „HenryG“ Greer, who previously worked as a cast for the world's big events. Greer previously announced his retirement from the active scene on Vie Twitter, without in any way letting it be known that he signed with an eSports organization.

Only three days later the first commitment was made. With Alex „ALEX“ McMeekin, Cloud9 has brought a player on board who, together with his former employer Team Vitality, was regularly to be found in the playoff stage.

Unusual for professional eSports are the clear facts and figures announced by General Manager HenryG on Twitter.
