Cloud9 having failed to secure success with their Russian core has parted ways with their star rifler in Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov and major winning IGL Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov ahead of the 2025 season.
Suffice it to say that Cloud9 has not been the same for quite a while and different roster variations have not yielded anything promising. Despite the plethora of talent, the roster has failed to click on the big stage which has resulted in C9 turning away from Boombl4 and Ax1le, two players who have not been the same since the launch of CS2.
BigBoom are now:
- Aleksandr “zorte” Zagodyrenko
- Pavel “S1ren” Ogloblin
- Kirill “Magnojez” Rodnov
- Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov
- Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov
- Artem “RAiLWAY” Gradovich (coach)
BetBoom’s Russian core will benefit from the experience of their latest arrivals. The likes of zorte and S1ren are believed to be players with high potential that has not surfaced yet and the new iteration of their roster will look to do just that.
