Cloud9 has revealed that Timofey ‘interz’ Yakushin is no longer with the team, indicating that the entire roster that participated in their most recent tournament, the Perfect World Shanghai Major, has now departed from the organization.
Cloud9 Announcement
It was great to have you back, @interz.
It's always a pleasure to work with you and we wish you nothing but luck in your future endeavors 💙 pic.twitter.com/0MRCizqfjO— Cloud9 CS (@C9CSGO) January 13, 2025
‘interz’ was a member of the previous Gambit lineup that Cloud9 acquired at the beginning of 2022, but he ended up being benched in 2023 due to difficulties with his individual performance.
The 24-year-old rejoined Cloud9 in July 2024 for a second time, becoming part of a roster overhaul that also included Nikita ‘HeavyGod’ Martynenko and Kaisar ‘ICY’ Faiznurov. This version of the team saw limited success during the latter part of 2024, struggling to qualify for major LAN competitions.
They managed to participate in the Perfect World Shanghai Major, but they were eliminated in the Opening Stage, securing only a single map victory. Following their swift exit from the Major, the roster was dismantled, with ‘ICY’ moving to Virtus.pro, ‘HeavyGod’ signing with G2, and Sergey ‘Ax1Le’ Rykhtorov along with Kirill ‘Boombl4’ Mikhailov joining BetBoom.
