Apenas 1 mes y medio después de entrar al equipo, Cloud9 ha decidido mandar al banquillo a Pujan "FNS" Mehta. En la noticia publicada en su página web dicen que las diferencias en la visión estratégica del juego son el motivo del cambio.
Éste decisión se ha anunciado unos días después del reportaje en el que se decía que C9 buscaba sustituto para FNS, y se había centrado en la posibilidad de fichar a ApeX o NBK tras el fracaso del proyecto de G2 con Mixwell. Ésta decisión ha sido muy cuestionada, ya que se rumorea que el traspaso de FNS desde CompLexity costó 200.000 dólares debido a que el jugador acababa de entrar en el equipo de CoL.
The Cloud9 CSGO squad has decided to designate FNS as inactive. The organization was excited to welcome him to our family and we had high hopes of continuing what we started in Boston earlier this year. In our time together, it became clear that the strategic visions we had were not as compatible as we had initially hoped. After extensive discussions between the players, staff, and front office, all parties have agreed that this is the best course of action.
FNS brought with him the structure, discipline, and leadership that led him to success with former teams, but the differences in philosophies proved to be too great to form the cohesion we needed to accomplish the results we know we are capable of. Both the team and FNS arrived at the conclusion that the time and energy of all parties would be better spent seeking out more suitable arrangements for their respective play-styles.
