Cloud9 will bring on board Alex "Slemmy" White as their new in-game leader to bring their roster back to five.
A little over a week ago, Cloud9 made the surprising announcement that they would be cutting Ryan "fREAKAZOiD" Abadir from their lineup after a series of disappointing performances from him and the team in general. Now, the North American organization has announced that they have secured a replacement for fREAKAZOiD: Alex "Slemmy" White.
The young star is relatively new to the professional scene, having only joined a relevant team in late 2014 when he signed with the now-defunct LunatiK before playing with a number of other big teams inclduing Denial, SKDC, eLevate, and Splyce.

Slemmy had the following to say about his latest signing:
Team coach Tres "stunna" Saranthus also commented on the roster moves:

Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham
Michael “shroud” Grzesiek
Jordan “n0thing” Gilbert
