FEED THE TROLLS EP 13: The Impact of HeavyGod and ICY on Cloud9, with Thorin and vENdetta
Description
In this episode of Feed the Trolls, Sam and @Thooorin are joined by vENdetta to discuss the new Cloud09 roster. vENdetta does not rate the lineup. We discuss the potential trajectory of the team and what the addition of HeavyGod and ICY could bring. We then jump into the history of C9 and the troubles the CS team has faced since winning the Boston Major in 2018. The recent departure of key players like ElectroNic and Perfecto aise questions about player buy-in and team dynamics but maybe now finally having a dedicated AWPer could be the difference.
