After weeks of trials and talks, Cloud9 have finally chosen their replacement for Timofey \u201cinterz\u201d Yakushin, in the form of Timur \u201cbuster\u201d Tulepov. <\/p>\n
Back in early December, EsportBet.com reported that the North American-owned Counter-Strike<\/a> outfit were looking for a replacement since their quarterfinal exit at the IEM Rio Major<\/a> in November of last year.<\/p>\n According to several sources in the CS:GO community, buster has been high on Cloud9\u2019s list of potential signings, however, there is said to have been multiple players that were considered and spoken to. <\/p>\n With interz confirmed to be leaving the esports organisation, we expect to hear from Cloud9 in the coming days to confirm buster as their newest addition to the CS:GO roster and with his debut to come at IEM Katowice<\/a>, on January 31. <\/p>\n Buster was benched by Outsiders back in May of 2022 after the PGL Major Antwerp, where he and Mareks \u201cYEKINDAR\u201d Galinskis were replaced in the line-up. <\/p>\n With the move to Cloud9 imminent, buster will be hoping for a successful transition much like his ex-teammate YEKINDAR, who signed with Team Liquid late last year. <\/p>\n With the addition of the 23-year-old Kazakhstani rifler, the Cloud9 roster for their first series of the IEM Katowice play-in should look like this;<\/p>\n\n
