ClouD leaves Templars of Twilight

Posted by Len Mariken "halfnorn" Maessen 3 years ago

Carlo 'ClouD' Giannacco is leaving the Templars of Twilight. This news was published by the Templars earlier today. The relatively fresh ToT recruit had been troubled by his performance at the World Cyber Games this year.



ClouD failed to pierce through the group stages on day two of the WCG. He was beaten by both bronze medalist Strelok and, somewhat surprisingly, the Lithuanian player Arew, thus only managing to hit third place in his pool despite pre-competition predictions. The Italian player cites this loss as his main reason for retirement from the German team.

In his statement to the Templars, he made it clear that "since I still really love the game I decided to quit the team and to not browse Starcraft sites, forums and watch vods, so I will just spend my time playing some fun games or to participate in tournaments."

The team cited him as a key player, noting his activity and stability as having been great assets. "It is a very big blow for ToT to see him quitting the team," Mondragon wrote as his lead-in to the announcement, "And I hope we can recover from that."

Cloud is the better player, but that's what happens in a best of 1 :\.... id be extremely dissapointed too if i had such high expectations and not even make it past hte group stage, hopefully he'll come back to competitiveness though with another big tournament like TSL.

#33 Caladan 3 years ago
Cloud really had hard group. Strelok... and then the deciding bo1 pvp...

But ofc normally Cloud >> Arew, no question...
5
#34 AeriALs- 3 years ago
Ehh arew is good too, and very under-rated... and also a really nice guy :D! Anything can happen and DID happen, so you can't change the past now. The best plan of action is to mail carlo one of those strippers in a birthday cake and only give it to him if he plays competitively again :)

#35 gns.i-kimbo 3 years ago
ClouD will go through some depression for a few days and then watch him strike back and rape his competition. I think he's gonna pull the only Italy act of iloveovv lol. retire and comeback for more

Now when ClouD left a team am pritty sure tot will invite me they missing a protoss player.

#37 MaTTeX 3 years ago
I dont know why every one is so surprised that arew won vs cloud. Its not like cloud is that much better then arew. And bo1 pvp can go either way. Besides imo arew is kinda underrated.

Anyway this really sucks for ToT. They've been so unlucky with their new recruits in the last 2 years. First the hypro ''hacking'' incident then arew left and now cloud. They're really in bad shape right now lacking active players.

IMO Arew is better than Cloud in all aspects, no offence but why is he so overrated? I dont feel surprised at all for him to lose to Strelok and Arew, as far as I think they both deserve to own him in all aspects.

And just because a somebody leaves ToT is deserve to be in headline news? So lame.

Ehh... what? I don't understand. This is a poor reason to quit. Imo, at least, there is probably something else behind this.
