Releasing woxic is an interesting decision on the side of Cloud9, who brought in the Turkish player on a huge 1.36 million dollar contract spanning over three years. Cloud9 is now looking to complete their roster once more as it’s left with four people. According to reports, Cloud9 is close to signing Erick “Xeppaa” Bach who previously played for Chaos before that roster was released. The CS:GO Free Agent scene is currently also filled with talented players, among them Russels “Twistzz” Van Dulken, who recently departed Team Liquid.
