Natus Vincere was left without its two Russian players, and it seems that Cloud9 will try to profit from the given situation. Liquid confirmed Patsy and Rainwaker. After failed negotiations with EG, EliGE transferred to Complexity.

As stated by certain world media, Perfecto and electroNic decided on their own to no longer be part of the Ukrainian organization. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine is still going on, so these players were under pressure from the very start of it, both from the public and from the organization itself. Russian flags have been banned from tournaments around the world, and players have been forced to denounce their country on a couple of occasions.

If that's the case, they are going to be top2 very fast
Of course, there is no proof that the political situation is the reason for such a decision, but we will mention it as an option. They have definitely not been in an enviable position in the last year. A new opportunity has opened for them, to replace Nafani and Buster in the Cloud9 team. Many predict that this team will be incredibly strong if these changes come to fruition.
Welcome Rainwaker!

A young talent hand-picked by our staff & players, we look forward to bringing @Rainwakercs to Tier 1 and letting him shine as our new anchor player. We believe he has what it takes to elevate our team as a whole and the clutch ability to back it up #TLWIN pic.twitter.com/Bp99OFaRBc
Liquid has confirmed that the new players are Patsy and Rainwaker. In the video above, you can hear the process and method of selection and the reason why they decided on the former player of Team 500. A similar move was made by his compatriot CeRQ, who had excellent results upon arrival, and we will see if this is the promised land and for Rainwaker.
Welcome Patsy!

An explosive rifler & personality, we're excited to welcome @PatsiCSGO to our roster. A young talent who has taken down plenty of top teams with his aim, we're looking forward to working him into our team's structure to elevate our skill ceiling.

Patsi wore the Spirit jersey until recently, he was an important šraf in their success at the Majors, he fits what šLiquid wanted, a young, stable and smart player. How this team will look in the future will depend on their work and the synergy they are already working on in order to be ready for future challenges.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Super excited to be joining @Complexity! Feels really nice being back with @1grimcs again, being part of the squad and sticking to the NA roots especially. We will be getting started ASAP and I am looking forward to it ???????? https://t.co/PDgpHje5Dk

Until recently, Liquid player EliGE held the record as the player who has been with an organization for the longest time, having been a part of his former team for more than eight years. And that streak has come to an end, and he will continue his career in the Complexity team.
Jason Lake, the owner of the team, did not want to leave anything to chance and acted quickly to bring one of the best players from his region. It will be interesting to see how Jonathan will manage in a team where he will be considered one of the best fraggers, considering that he is going to a weaker team where he will be the first star of the team.
