Cloud9 fans with the official announcement that he decided to leave the team with which he achieved the greatest success in his career and was among the best teams in the world for a long time after three years.
The player was placed on the transfer list at his own request, and while potential changes to Cloud9 were rumored before Sydney, sh1ro wasn't the one mentioned as one of the players who could be out of the team.
Sh1ro has played with the core of the team since the Gambit Youngers period, then through Gambit until Cloud9 took over the team last year. During that time there have been ups and downs, and the downs mostly relate to the period when Cloud9 were expected to emerge as the leading team in the world, primarily at IEM Rio Major, but they failed to do so.
Despite that, Cloud9 spent a lot of time in the top 5 and top 10 teams in the world, and in July of this year they go through big changes when Timur "buster" Tulepov and Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov leave, who were replaced by the Na'Vi duo - Denis "electroNic " Sharipov and Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy.
In a short but very emotional statement, Sh1ro stated that this is one of the most difficult decisions in his life, and that for now he will not go into details about how and why he is leaving the team.
He especially thanked electroNic, who, according to him, taught him to look at CS from a different perspective, even though they spent little time together.
