freakazoid leaves Cloud9 active roster

13-4-2016 03:38

Ryan 'freakazoid' Abadir, who has been a part of Cloud9 since being signed in April 2015, has left the team's active roster.

Since being signed in April of 2015 alongside Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham, Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir was part of Cloud9's rise to prominence during the team's memorable Summer 2015 run that included reaching the grand finals of the ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1 finals, ESWC 2015, and the FACEIT Stage 2 finals at DreamHack Valencia.

The North American wonder-team entered a prolonged slump in the fall of 2015, which ultimately led to longtime brains of the team Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares stepping down and the team enlisting Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip instead.

freakazoid's final months with Cloud9 were a struggle for both the player and the team

In their appearances in 2016, Cloud9 seemed dogged by leadership issues and had a weak T-side in particular, leading to a below-the-belt finish at the Game Show Finals and, following a successful Major qualification campaign, the team were stomped out of the Major after two convincing best-of-one losses.

freakazoid himself ran afoul of controversy when, following an online altercation with Liquid's Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev, the Cloud9 organisation were forced to issue a statement with the player's apology, in addition to a pay cut for the month and attendance of the by-now-infamous seminar.

After middling results, the Cloud9 organisation have now announced that freakazoid has stepped down from the team's active roster although he will remain under contract for the rest of 2016, implying a buyout will be necessary for organisations looking to secure the services of the player.

While Cloud9 will search for a permanent fifth, they have meanwhile decided to use Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag as a stand-in, who recently saw an upswing in play occur when he concluded his days at Team Liquid whilst playing at the MLG Columbus Main Qualifier and Major.

Cloud9's roster is now:

Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert
Mike "⁠shroud⁠" Grzesiek
Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham
Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip
Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag (stand-in)

2016-04-13 03:57

Shroud is overrated as fuck. Ska hasnt been playing good for months now. Nitr0 is liquids worst player right now. Nice dream team. The current liquid roster is allready better. Especially elige needs to be in every NA dream team.

I mean, they haven't played that many lans yet this year.

2016-04-13 04:37

but nitro was shit even online. his rating in the last 3 months of 2015 was 1.11. Since january his rating is 1.00. he was the star and top fragger, now he underperforms.

2016-04-13 04:39

Difference is that Liquid doesn't suck anymore. Therefore it's not as easy to be the starplayer on the team. Nitro is playing worse than normally, yes, but not that much. He just plays more for the team than the individual plays now.

2016-04-13 06:59

Today he didn't. But liquid did

2016-04-13 12:49

This pretty much sums it all up. I don't think shrouds overrated though

2016-04-13 05:05

Shroud is probably one of the 3 most overrated players besides twist and roca

2016-04-13 09:19

he gets bonus points for being a nice guy though

2016-04-13 10:09

He is too quiet, it might tell something. Imb4: he is a psycho

2016-04-13 11:49

2016-04-13 05:36

Shroud isn't overrated, he's rated correctly if you actually look at the stats for the past 2 years.. he is the most consistent fragger for c9. People just watch his stream, and expect Pug god mode in pro matches, anyone who actually expect that in a pro game, is high as fuck, or just mildly dimwitted..

2016-04-13 07:07

W a t a fuck just i read this is fucking china dude genghis khan from mongolia not chine you son of moron i am mad cuz of you idiot

2016-04-13 13:22

Shroud is a star player who doesnt perform like a star player needs to.

2016-04-13 13:45

just because casters call someone a 'star player' doesn't make it true.. "star player" is code for... got a lucky spraydown... flashy bullshit that means nothing..

2016-04-14 03:06

he is the star player on c9 because he can do whatever he wants. like s1mple is on liquid, get right on nip etc.

2016-04-14 03:27

Nitro is IGL retard he isn't supposed to top frag

2016-04-13 09:13

Hiko is IGL

2016-04-13 11:03

s1mple and skadoodle arent good squad.Yeap,they're nice players,but 2 awp players in one team it will be paradise

2016-04-13 04:50

Look at current liquid roster. You will see 2 awpers, s1mple and koosta.

2016-04-13 08:51

S1mple and Skadoodle on the same team? -s1mple +Tarik

2016-04-13 05:30

i would prefer the NA dream team only consisted of NA players. no simple.

2016-04-13 07:42

Rip s1mple :'( [*]

2016-04-13 10:27

I mean, in my opinion, skadoodle top 1 NA player. :)

2016-04-19 03:27

You mean , only players of North American nationality. Because if it is a selection of s1mple scenario is included as gob b or hen1 for example. But apparently the intention was to type a National Team csgo .

2016-04-19 03:26

I prefer MY NA dream team to consist of only players originally from NA. So when they do win, no bs excuses saying we brought in someone from SA, EU etc..

2016-04-19 04:51

Yes, I understand what you said from the beginning . Just got another topic on the subject. No need to put " MY " in capital letters and bold , I'm not retarded, also I do not remember anything about opined your dream team ... So , do not use sarcasm to me. Be more polite.

2016-04-19 05:35

-simple +roca

2016-04-13 07:41

-shroud + elige and it's really a dreamteam. Ska can be the best in the world when holding retakes.

2016-04-13 11:52

shroud,Hiko,n0thing,s1mple & Skadoodle is the dream team . shroud , Hiko & n0thing is the only 3 NA players who match EU players skill .

freak to make new team with seang@res

2016-04-15 05:53

he'll do well in CLG or echofox

Clg is too good for him

If you remember correctly when under sean's guidance he was a great player, but he can't play well on his own he needs someone to direct him in the right direction

When sean anti stratted the fuck out of them and freak was just a mindless bot. The only reason that worked was because the entire team was supporting him and following him up. Clg arent gonna replace tarik for him and roca is much better atm, along with the fact that clg doesnt want to pay for seminars every month

2016-04-13 04:11

"along with the fact that clg doesnt want to pay for seminars every month" I was sipping coffee and laughed. Now I hate you.

i thought i was the only one that noticed.

he wasnt even on the team when that happened

2016-04-13 14:26

exactly, and still doesnt change the fact they were at major with freak and supply of adderall

2016-04-13 16:51

he lacked so much skills that it was embarassing.

2016-04-13 05:11

well he didn't had the required skills

2016-04-13 06:08

He had everything except the skill

2016-04-13 06:51

Ye, I also think the team kind of let down on him. The last games of the major when they failed on D2 the whole team was underperforming. You could see them arguing as they tried to take long A and everytime Freaks teammates missed their flash leaving him blind and with barely any support. Sad too see him go, he was the reason I became a C9 fan (still a fan, but not the same without freak) :'(

2016-04-13 19:33

ability to bully and fck up a team. His low iq drove cloud 9 to the ground..

Sad to see so many serious retards... as you may notice this thread is about Freak, who is same smoke jumper as stewie, everytime I see Freak play he jumps through smokes in any given opportunity.

... why is stewbot still in roster

He has been apart of the roster for 2 months and has gotten significantly better in his play style give him a 6 months and he will be a great player you can't rush things

Nt stew

bitch pls

2016-04-13 04:03

really so how long does it take you to improve in csgo definitely not 2 months

nt ching chong

2016-04-13 04:48

bul- ResidentSleeper

first

i hope it's not because of the s1mple incident :/ imo he's better than stewie and even if they wanted to drop him it would make much more sense to first find a replacement instead of using a standin.

C9 mixwell

rip

THEY THOUGHT FREAK WAS THE PROBLEM 4Head

if adren takes over the IGL role 2 things will happen: 1- he'll go back to shit fragging 2- nothing will work because even sean had trouble making this guys follow shit and adren is worse than adren at this Bye9

he had a trouble having n0thing follow strats no one else

one rotten apple is enough to ruin the rest of the bunch. But I guess you are right on that one either way. Still the rest remains valid, sean > adren

to be completely honest the only people who seemed to have any drive to get better on C9 were freak and stewie

2016-04-13 03:52

I haven't followed c9 with stewie enough to have an educated opinion on him, but yeah freak was the only one with the winning mentality. The rest is just there to get some good $$ while they can and as long as their streams are up they are happy..

2016-04-13 03:54

he'll have irukanji too

irukandji

2016-04-13 03:51

gg roca + freak to echofox.

i think he'd be a good fit there

2016-04-13 03:50

yeah, under sgares he is amazing.

But isn't Roca joining c9? Which I think is shit for him. C9 is like the prime example of an org which import rules from teams from other games.

nah doubt it, with adren going to c9 who would roca replace? c9 needed an IGL, their T sides are all over the place.

2016-04-13 06:15

adren hasn't gone to c9 yet, he's just a stand in atm.

2016-04-13 10:50

NICE

2016-04-13 03:49

ahhaahhahahhahaahahhaha brickheadzoid gets what he deserves no more ez money for him tier5 player

I think you read it wrong, hes by far not the worst player on the team. Hes still on the team, getting easy salary for the next 8 months...

it's okay. some on the site...they cannot be reached by reading comprehension or reason alone. they must walk the dark path of adolescent shitposting all the way down into the depths of Abaddon and there they will find Judge Freak awaiting them in their time of reckoning.

2016-04-13 04:00

Oh you.. I think its not only "some" however. I think its tipping over the scale ;)

idiocy is like a dead body in the water: somehow it remains floating even though it's a disagreeable thing that should sink away as soon as possible.

2016-04-13 17:42

Doesnt really mean he gets ez money. Cant tell for sure since we dont know what the contract says. I mean, yeah, he might get. But u cant tell

gratz clown9 u kicked most retarded player in csgo history.

This team is junk and can barely compete in NA, let alone at the international level. The c9 org should look at starting fresh with a new roster instead of holding on to players that wont get them anywhere.

Why does hltv post news for tier4 teams

Get a tan

gl freak hello adren

Next time writing a post of some player leaves / joins a team, do correct his current team from his record. Hovering over Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir, the tooltip still shows current team as Cloud9.

it's not something I can do, needs tgwri1s or nomad for that to happen

2016-04-13 04:14

In that case, they should provide these rights for the editors too.

His current team IS STILL C9 you pooinloo. Learn2read.

adren? hmm pretty interested ;)

adren actually.. sad 4u.

2016-04-13 04:28

i dont like adren thats why i think roca is a better option :D

don't think ever gonna be anyone buying out freakazoid lol. this is a good news for na cs

2016-04-13 04:13

still n0thing so still bad

it's kind of amazing that c9 think they will achieve something with stewie lmao

2016-04-13 04:32

what would he have done if the whole crowd had taken up the task of calling him bullyzoid? that sounds even worse.

Awkward moment when he was their 2nd best player

C9 lineup isn't going to be fixed by changing one player at a time. C9 really need to work out what the actual problem here is rather than replacing players 1 at a time. C9 is NA version of NIP - team of extremely talented players playing IN a team, not AS a team. In all honestly I hope they realize this sooner than later as they are all extremely cool guys

Good move to kick him but adreN ? This guy played like one tournament good since 2015 which is MLG colombus and they decide to take him, no matter what he did for almost 1 years and a half, and also he said he doesn't feel confortable not being a primary AWPer. Shit move imo

lol this roster without freak will fail just as bad. Freakazoid was not the problem. He had good aim and was a decent entry fragger, basically he played his role. If the other players on the team stepped up and played their role aswell we wouldnt have a problem. n0thing sucks at IGL and sucks at lurking. Skadoodle is not an aggressive awper making plays he relied on sean putting him in position to be effective. Shroud is non existent when it comes to important games lately barely has any impact and steiwe2k is a pugstar. This team is a train wreck...Best of luck to freak.

+c9 tarik

2016-04-13 07:26

why would they kick the most fearless entry fragger in the game. im not a fan of freakazoid as a person but he fit perfect in c9 as an entry fragger

2016-04-13 07:30

That's stupid, they remplace him by adren lmao.

2016-04-13 08:44

He's only a temp Stand-in.

2016-04-13 10:33

Roca would do a better job if they decide to pick him up imo.

8 replies

yeah he was the only name i could think of as a better na entry fragger. but the roster moves cloud9 make just dont make sense.

2016-04-13 10:35

I guess as of right now AdreN is the best player they could muster up in such a short notice to stand-in for them. It's possible that it's just temporary whilst Cloud9 are in negotiations with another player.

2016-04-13 10:36

yeah it must be. To me this team just needs a gob b/seangares type caller or they wont ever be great again. They dont know how to utilize skadoodle and shroud properly like seangares used to

2016-04-13 10:40

Well, AdreN is known for his leading and although he may not be that great aim-wise, his knowledge of the game is incredible.

2016-04-13 10:41

Sure he is knowledgeable about the game but he never managed to rub that off on his team judging from his past with liquid. Liquid was never known for tactics or crazy executes. And also the key to cloud9's succes was basically anti stratting and not being anti stratted themself. i dont ever think they will break into the top10 again with n0thing AND stewie on the team. roca, shroud and skadoodle on one team would be insane though that might be able to produce some decent results

2016-04-13 10:53

I totally agree with the fact that it never managed to rub off onto the team but there's always possibilities with different players that are willing to listen more. I think once Stewie is able to go out free and get more experience then it wouldn't be that bad. As for N0thing... He's pretty much a lost soul right now.

2016-04-13 10:55

Ty for the friendly discussion!

2016-04-13 10:56

2016-04-13 08:36

Yes !!!

2016-04-13 08:46

Damn I cant read. Skimmed through the whole article on hltv and cloud9.gg, read all the comments, still can't find the reason why he left.

2016-04-13 08:47

because he is terrible.wasnt that obvious?

2016-04-13 09:15

Obvious? Not really. He was an integral part of their success and one of the better entry fraggers in NA. If he was "terrible" they would've stated its performance related just like nV did when they kicked kioshima.

cloud9 management more polite :D

2016-04-13 11:07

Cloud9 Roca inc.

2016-04-13 08:54

Plz keep AdreN as 5th player he is a sick as leader and frager :D

he is shit fragger when he is a leader

2016-04-13 10:59

hes shit as both

2016-04-13 17:43

Finally! Most overrated player NA..

Wut? He is underrated. Everyone calls him bad, bot etc. They have removed a good player who does his role well and replaced him with one of the "most overrated" players at the moment, adreN.

2016-04-13 11:27

Both players are terrible tbh..

2016-04-13 17:13

cool story

2016-04-13 21:42

Ex6tenZ to C9 MajorKappa

2016-04-13 09:51

I would actually like to see something like that. Back in ye olde CS when lurppis joined EG people were calling it a complete joke. That move ended up being a pretty great move, EG did a lot better than they had done in a long time. Ex6 being a leader he could bring a lot to a NA team.

2016-04-13 10:13

Oh I know, it's just too bad Ex6tenZ doesn't speak English

Yeah that's a bit weird with the frogs. How can you not speak English? I mean it's all over the place

Have you ever been to france? They are too proud same with the germans they dont like speaking english as well.

Indeed I have, several times. And I know how proud they are :) But it is still a pretty petty excuse to not know other languages. Ze Germans most often do speak English doe.

2016-04-13 10:25

French don't want to learn it, germans don't speak it even though they know it.

Freak NOOOOOO

2016-04-13 10:02

GODren

bot freak

He was always the bottom fragger until stewie joined.

2016-04-13 10:14

no he was doing fine when sean was leading him

2016-04-13 12:06

see you bullyzoid

2016-04-13 10:16

C9's roster changes are retarded. They could have signed a new IGL back when sean left but instead they got some gimmicky retard. It took them long enough to realise that this doesn't work and now they want an IGL again. To make room for one they had to kick a player. So who they decide to bench? Their entry who would be a huge asset in a team which has an IGL.

2016-04-13 10:18

I think sgares Was the one who controlled freak so he could shine.

2016-04-13 10:34

just let it be. if he goes to echo fox, then sean will be able to use him much better again

2016-04-13 15:04

What did he say to s1mple, did anyone log it?

bad things happen to bad people

2016-04-13 10:23

not rly

2016-04-13 10:26

ok not rly, but in this case yes.

bad things happen more often to good people

looks like c9 staf still dont unterstand that they need to kick all players from this retarded team and sign liquid or clg players ...

Just disband the team and let them go to Teams With Potential not like c9 is a sinking ship for 9 month now

2016-04-13 10:31

This is a mistake, hopefully Freak had a say in this decision and it was mutual. C9 are battling with n0thing as IGL, and Ska clearly isn't his usual self. Freak was likely the most motivated in the team. Their LAN performances are troubling. SG@res is a legend, hopefully he ends up at EchoFox. C9 need a full time coach who can call asap. Stewie sucked bad at MLG.

freakazoid is stupid anyways, hope he will never play professional again.

Why did AdreN go to a dead team? Also, freak can now be getting a tan full time on the beach while bullying people.

And there's a new trend nowadays orgs keep players under contract in order to get buyout money instead of just releasing them for free.

bullyzoid is 10 times worse than adren lol

2016-04-13 14:53

I like how he called s1mple a noob, said that his aim sucked d*ck, and how bad he actually is, when Freak always have been the worst player on Cloud 9, he have never actually played great. Finally Cloud 9 can start actually winning something again, freak was wayyyy too bad for a top NA/whatever team, lol.

2016-04-13 16:28

Hate to be that guy. But if you bully people and talk about tanning and working out like that makes him some sort of a god because he lifts some weights that anybody can do, then karma comes back to bite you. He also talks about how he wants to inspire people and tries to be a nice guy but then turns into this ahole which makes him fake. Hope he learns a lot from this and comes back stronger.

2016-04-16 15:32

you realize he left and wasn't kicked?

2016-04-16 15:34

he got kicked out, didnt leave on his own. No organization will allow a player to just step down like that because hes still under contract, they will not be paying him for nothing. Unless they get a buyout asap. So that means, cloud 9 org kicked him out and dont care if hes still under contract because hes a cancer. Now theyre waiting for anyone to buy him out from them.

2016-04-16 18:09

try again, already confirmed by shroud on stream that Ryan left because he had "other plans" with his cs career. any player can step down from an active roster any time, they just cannot play for another roster until they are bought out.

2016-04-17 00:26

I dont think a pro leaving a team to join another roster "karma"

2016-04-16 15:35

"freakazoid's final months with Cloud9 were a struggle for both the player and the team" Lol . The thing is that he was calling s1mple a noob with bad aim when s1mple got to the semi-finals in MLG Columbus while fREAKAZOiD was a huge burden to his team and never even made it out of the groups . So yeah, either ways . It's karma . Because what i'm trying to prove is that fREAK is a retarded noob .

2016-04-16 15:38

sure, he was out of line saying s1mple has bad aim, but you can't call Freak a noob. Statistically in the last 3 months he was the 3rd best on c9 overall, while playing the #1 entry fragger position. He also was the best player overall in ibuypower spring invitational where cloud9 destroyed liquid in bo3. You are cherry picking information. One bad LAN 2 months after some childish banter is hardly evidence for karma. tl;dr Freak isn't bad, s1mple isn't bad either, get off the bullyzoid hatewagon kiddo ;>

2016-04-17 00:32

I'm talking about the present idiot . It doesn't matter whether Cloud9 destroyed them or not . The thing is, Cloud9 fucked up so hard at the major while Liquid played insanely well . Trust me if they faced at MLG Columbus, Liquid would have thrashed them on both maps . And why would I want to get off the bullyzoid hatewagon? He did harass simple . Get some basic knowledge of the incident first before asking me to get off the hate train kiddo . ;)

2016-04-17 05:56

I'm using statistics. You're just restating the CSGO communities common opinion. You boycotters sound like broken records. I didn't deny Freakazoid harrassed s1mple, but you are once again Cherry picking information and ignoring the fact s1mple was harrassing other pros also. Neither person is any better, there's no karma when both players are being assholes. Just because I have a differing opinion does not mean I'm an idiot. Good job admitting you're on the bandwagon by the way. And what do you mean I should get some "Basic Knowledge" of the situation. Seems like I summed up everything pretty clearly, you just don't seem to have a counter argument. I guess I'll hear back from you once Throoorin makes "Freakazoid's Attitude and Influence 2" Maybe then you'll have some more opinions instead of childish banter. The insults are making you sound a bit like Freakazoid to be honest. ;>

2016-04-17 06:12

C9 failed so hard at the major since their coach wasn't there. Not just because they didn't play that well, but because they had no real strats.

2016-04-18 18:27

You're obviously sucking Ryan's dick on this occasion . Typical bullyzoid fan gay .

2016-04-17 05:57

I wouldn't say that. I just don't like two players being assholes, but one gets off the hook because he's more favored in the community. Seems like you have nothing left to say. I guess we can leave it at that. Thanks for the original input.

2016-04-17 06:17

they like to use the term "stepped down" when both Sean and Freakazoid are both got kicked out.. It is just to save their reputation by saying they stepped down.. Like what organization will allow a player under contract for a year to just step down? Theyre still paying the player for nothing unless they get a buyout from someone. So that means they kicked him out obviously.

2016-04-16 18:07

why do u talk without knowing? seangares stepped down himself he was not kicked he said in an interview..

2016-04-16 18:12

ofcourse you believe everything thats thrown out there right? if i was sean and the cloud 9 talked to me bout them goin to a different direction. but instead of them firing me, they just tell me to step down to save my reputation. It's a mutual decision. So cloud 9 being respectful just made it seem like they stepped down instead of making it seem like they kicked them out. Cloud 9 players were secretly complaining to the organization that they couldnt play loose and be themselves because everything has to go tru sean's plan. Thats what happened under the table.

2016-04-16 18:19

Is there any evidence behind this conspiracy theory? I'm genuinely curious. Considering Cloud9 offered sg@res a coaching position, it seems the organization valued his strategies and inputs.

2016-04-17 06:28

not sure if bait orrrrrr

2016-04-17 06:32

one thing, sean left as his contract expired, and they did sorta drop freak from the bullying biz, but they are making so much money off of this news and awareness they dont give a flying fuck

2016-04-16 18:24

2016-04-18 21:00

It's more likely that he left out of embarrassment. He kept flaming s1mple before the Major for having "dick aim" and "having no friends" (w/e the fuck that meant) while himself dropping out of the group stage AGAIN after pathetic performance. Can you imagine how much shit he'd get from others just for that? Even Thorin ripped him a new one in his official vlog, ouch! Nobody takes him seriously anymore, if he had any credibility before, he lost it. Leaving pro CS was a no-brainer for a guy with such a massive ego.
