ElectroNic admits he wasn’t cut out to be the captain of Cloud9’s Counter-Strike team. In a recent interview, he revealed that his emotional nature made it difficult for him to handle the responsibilities of in-game leadership. Despite his previous success as an IGL for Natus Vincere, ElectroNic struggled to control his emotions and would often get frustrated when things didn’t go according to plan. As a result, he was replaced as the team’s captain by HObbit and later Boombl4.
During his short tenure as C9’s IGL, ElectroNic failed to achieve the desired results. The team underperformed in tournaments such as IEM Cologne, Gamers8, and ESL Pro League season 18. Fans had high hopes for him, considering his previous success with Natus Vincere, where he led them to victory in the BLAST Premier Spring Final. However, it became clear that his emotional nature hindered his ability to effectively lead the team.
Now relieved of his captaincy duties, ElectroNic can focus on his individual performance and contribute to the team without the added pressure of leading. In a recent match against NAVI at the BLAST Premier Fall Final, he showcased his skills by posting an impressive 62 kills and only 42 deaths across three maps. This performance highlights his potential as a star player for Cloud9.
Overall, ElectroNic’s honesty about his shortcomings as a captain sheds light on the importance of finding the right fit for leadership roles within a team. While he may not have excelled in this particular role, his talent as a player remains undeniable. With the support of his teammates and a renewed focus on fragging, ElectroNic has the potential to make a significant impact on Cloud9’s future success.
