For far too long, European teams have dominated the CS:GO scene, and it looked like that wouldn’t change. North America seemed to be out of the loop, but as Desidia on goldper10.com points out in this great article, Cloud9 has brought back NA hopes for competing with the best. Saying:
For too long the NA scene of counter strike has been non-existent once the boarder has been crossed over to Europe. Time after time we were given glimpses of what the NA scene has to offer with Cloud9 taking a map off NIP at cologne as well as beating Dignitas at the same event after an amazing clutch by Spencer “Hiko” Martin. Along with Cloud9 the IBP lineup also gave the North Americans something to chant about with their run at Faceit where they even pushed Fnatic to their limits. But, what have previously been glimpses has now turned into what all CS:GO fans hope to continue to be a regular occurrence.
All those glimpses where more than what we thought. Desidia runs down all of the accomplishments and roster changes that have made Cloud9 a CS:GO team to keep an eye on. Check out why you can no longer right off NA CS:GO scene by clicking here.
