The 24-year-old was a stand-in for the NA organisation since the BLAST Pro Series in Copenhagen and now is confirmed as the permanent 5th as Cloud9 finally have a stable roster.
C9 Coach Soham “valens” Chowdhury said
Our search to find that elusive form from earlier this year has been long and gruelling, but hopes are high. Fabien has already made a great impression, both as a teammate and player, and the team is ready to build on our exciting first step at Copenhagen. We are looking forward to show you a revitalized Cloud9 leading into the next major.
Cloud 9 CEO and Owner Jack Etienne was thrilled at the acquisition.
I’m so proud of the way we’ve built this team and kioShiMa has been a great addition to the C9 family already. We’re all excited to see what the team can do in competition!
#C9CSGO have found their missing piece to complete the puzzle.
