After being with C9 for around 4 months, Slemmy is getting replaced by TSM's autimatic.?
After many rumors from ESPN regarding Cloud9 exchanging in-game leader Alec "Slemmy" White for TSM's Timothy "autimatic" Ta, the organization have finally officially confirmed it. It had been further rumored that Slemmy will be moving to a coaching position within Cloud9, however he has claimed that he intends to continue playing.
Ever since Slemmy began playing for Cloud9, he has been praised for his leadership but critcized for his underwhelming individual performance. Autimatic helped TSM place 3rd-4th at the ECS Season 1 Finals, beating Astralis and Cloud9, yet falling short at the iBUYPOWER Summer Invitational.
Cloud9's roster is now as follows:
Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert
Jake "Stewie2k" Yip
Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham
Mike "shroud" Grzesiek
Timothy "autimatic" Ta
TSM will be using Justin "just9n" Ortiz as a stand-in until they find a permanent fifth:
Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen
Pujan "FNS" Mehta
Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken
Hunter "SicK" Mims
Justin "just9n" Ortiz (stand-in)
