Also to Hector, who was at the CS house almost daily to make sure me and Oscar had what we needed/wanted and came to countless events to support us. To this day I wish you stayed, but I will always respect your decision. Huge respect to Peter (stanislaw) for taking the IGL reigns and legitimately turning us into a world contending team within 2 months. I am happy you (daps) remain a good friend even a year after your departure from the team. Beating HR 16-14 to qualify remains my most memorable moment to date. To NAF and daps, we started from basically nothing in the eLevate/conquest days where everyone thought of us as nobodies and yet we won the Minor and qualified for our first Major. I will never forget the the fun moments (and the OpTic Fiat) you, Adri, and me experienced while living in the OpTic CS house. Not many people drop everything they have to move across the world to pursue their dream, and Oscar did it for well over a year. Hopefully you all realize why I made this choice, and continue to support me in the next step of my career.
I thought about whether I should continue grinding on OpTic with an uncertain future, or take a leap of faith in what I see to be an NA dream team. Bare in mind this all happened in the last week (everything I said on the BudLight stream was true at the time). It is at this point where the C9 offer came in. We were just about done figuring our roster (for OpTic), where we would have had to settle on our 3rd/4th option. We tried the whole time to get players we wanted, but in the end nothing came to fruition. In this day in age for cs most players are overvalued and this made it really hard for us to attain a player we were comfortable with. The process of bringing in a new 5th continually is such a detriment to a teams growth. It’s one of the most frustrating periods I’ve had in CS because there is no point where the team gets better. It's been nearly 8 months now where we haven't had a solidified roster. This last one I got is one I really couldn't turn down. I've been incredibly patient with this roster, turning down a good number of offers during my tenure on the team. It is because of this that I've decided to join Cloud9 alongside Tarik. The feeling you get when you taste being on top, only for it to come crashing down so quickly is something I can't get past. Lately though its been more of the latter unfortunately. Since then it's been a pretty long journey of ups and downs. It really dawns on me how lucky we were to land such a passionate fan base. The love and support we received from the fans back then was like nothing any of us have experienced. It's pretty crazy to think it's been close to 2 YEARS on OpTic, when it feels like just yesterday we were winning the E-League road to Vegas tournament (our first LAN under OpTic). Rush's thoughts and statements on the matter: This team could be the super team that North America needs. Team Optic has had really lackluster performances recently and it really showed when they had failed to qualify for the major. Will "RUSH" Wierzba and Tarik "tarik" Celik have been transferred from Optic and into the Cloud 9 roster. n0thing's benching came as a tiny bit of a surprise since there was not much info leading up to it. Shroud had previously stated that he was thinking about retirement, but in a later interview, he stated that he will stay in the scene as long as he was still performing. They have been playing for Cloud 9 since the middle of 2014. The original roster consisted of, Semphis, Hiko, n0thing, and Shroud. Shroud and n0thing were the last two remaining players from Cloud 9's original roster.
