Josh “shinobi” Abastado, the C9 blue’s in-game leader, was dismissed following a string of poor performances. Even though he was a good Valorant player, there was something missing. C9 Blue, along with Team Solomid ( TSM) and 100Thieves, were the first teams to form a Valorant Squad.
In recent years, the C9 Blue has been unable to qualify for any major competition. Cloud9 was unable to sustain their success in high-level competitions such as First Strike. Both the UMG and NSG qualifications saw the team fail to qualify for the finals. During the later half of 2020, shinobi was appointed as the team’s IGL. This was few days after he had retired from the CS:GO lineup. He was one of the finest IGLs in CS:GO.
c9 loses shinobi, vice, and tenz. Whats gonna actually become of this team?
