SearchClouD 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."

| Sad;< |
| u.u bad <.< |
| its too bad, i really hope they can keep on going without him. I have a feeling he wont be down for long :) |
| I don't care :D |
| I care. :D |
| hopefully this is just him being down after a dissapointing wcg and he'll be back soon.. otherwise this is a big blow to the foreign sc community |
| he was last good protoss in ToT , cuz i think that Gohan is inactive right ? so ToT is without any tosses now ... ;p |
| Where is the raplays WCG 08. Somebody help me please. Show me where. |
| lol Arew is very good player, i dont talk about strelok... so if he quit tot for that he is stupid XD |
| he'll be back :F |
| :( |
| #9, well, ToT is mass Z team anyways^_^; #10, not out yet... be patient >_>' |
| poor could :/ |
| #9 ever heard of ToT)Arew(? ^^ So basically he just got a depression after loss in WCG and quit BW??? |
| #16 Arew is in MYM. he left )ToT( a long time ago |
| Why is everyone so surprised that Arew won this game against ClouD...? Man.. Arew is good, no need to underestimate him. |
| cloud lose vs arew only in wcg.. before he never lost vs him |
| Sucks for ToT. |
| Sad... I hope that ToT dont fall down 1 by 1 :/ |
| sad... that cloud said he'd go to Korea and win an OSL. now he lost in WCG group stage and turns emo. lmao |
| 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. GL Carlo |
| Too bad. Well Good Luck ClouD and ToTties |
| oh ClouD :'x really bad news.. gl in the future ClouD/ToT'ies <3 |
| np carlo you lose against the best, and I m agree, some time of good concentration is a clever decision ;D |
| thank god , CYA |
| #19 no offence but I shouldnt upload all the reps where I have won against cloud before... And after saying that he got 2nd easiest group in WCG, he just got no other way only how to do this. |
| I heard this before :D (Draco and his famouse I will retire ) |
| #16 haha xD you got OWNED xD |
| pretty sad news.... |
| This is sad, but expected. Last time I heard from you Carlo you said you were gonna quit after WCG, no joke there I guess :O |
| Cloud really had hard group. Strelok... and then the deciding bo1 pvp... But ofc normally Cloud >> Arew, no question... |
| 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 :) |
| 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 #35 <3 |
| Now when ClouD left a team am pritty sure tot will invite me they missing a protoss player. |
| 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. |
| - .- baaad cloud was like a leg of a tripod for Tot ;P! |
| Cloud is a very nice player and also gm, bad wcg it is true but the other player were better so what? well i hope to cu soon around if not i wish you the best and GL! |
| 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. |
| #40 +1 very very lame, big news about nothing lol |
| They should recruit me :) |
| GL Cloud |
| he was one of the best players outside korea thx for news |
| Ehh... what? I don't understand. This is a poor reason to quit. Imo, at least, there is probably something else behind this. |
| #40 this is tot-fansite - have you forgotten ? ; O How COULD you ! ? |
| oh no cloud :( he should have got the ticket to korea |
| ah thats a shame. he was a great player :( |
| that's a sad day for italian community. |
| :'( |
