Cloud9 adds pro CS:GO player from former OpTic roster

Cloud9’s CS:GO team just got stronger after adding former OpTic Gaming and 10-year Counter-Strike veteran Rene ‘cajunb’ Borg to their roster, following the release of KioShiMa.

“When you join an organization like Cloud9 there will always be a lot of pressure and expectations,” said cajunb according to Cloud9’s blog post. “I will do my best together with my teammates to make sure we succeed and make the fans proud.“

“It’s rare to see such an extensive esports career as cajunb has, so we’re really pleased about getting a chance to work with him, said Jack Etienne, Cloud9 CEO and Owner in a blog post. “Welcome to Cloud9, cajunb!”

During his Counter-Strike’s competitive career, cajunb has racked up a number of accolades and accomplishments over the years, with the most recent one being a 2nd-place finish at DreamHack Open Summer 2018.

Other accomplishments for cajunb include a championship at DreamHack Open Montreal 2017 and a championship at EPICENTER 2016. He brings a lot to C9’s team and will look to continue his success there.

The next event Cloud9 has their eyes on for CS:GO is the BLAST Pro Series: Miami 2019 which kicks off on April 12.
