Cloud9 add Golden for ELEAGUE Premier; STYKO remains stand

Cloud9 have confirmed that Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim and Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk will be playing for the team as stand-ins at ELEAGUE Premier.

This will be the second tournament that STYKO will attend with Cloud9, after the MOUZ player filled in for the North American side at ESL One Cologne, where the team went out in the groups following defeats to Astralis and Natus Vincere.

Golden's temporary addition comes just days after Cloud9 lost Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik to MIBR, leaving the team with a three-man active roster as Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta remains transfer listed.

Golden will lead Cloud9 in Atlanta

The Swedish player is currently assessing his options after being benched by fnatic in the aftermath of William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin's signing from Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Originally a member of fnatic Academy, Golden was promoted to the organisation's main squad in August 2017 and led the team to victories at IEM Katowice and at the WESG Finals, and to deep runs at the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals, ECS Season 4 Finals and DreamHack Masters Marseille.

ELEAGUE Premier will run from July 21-29 at the G-FUEL Arena, in Atlanta, with eight teams set to duke it out for $1 million in prize money. Cloud9 have been drawn in Group A, alongside Astralis, Liquid and MIBR, with their first match in the tournament pitting them against the current No1. team in the world.

Cloud9 will attend the event with:

Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham
Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk (stand-in)
Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim (stand-in)
