Key storylines to monitor in North American Counter-Strike

Important Storylines in the NA Counter Strike Scene Post Shuffle

Over the last few months, the NA Counter Strike scene has seen some major changes. In this article, we will discuss the most important storylines to watch in the upcoming online and offline Counter Strike play in North America.

Cloud9’s Remarkable Comeback

Cloud9 was not doing well initially, with key players underperforming and losing their in-game leader. However, they have recently shown significant improvement, with a new playstyle and the addition of Irukandji. Skadoodle’s performance has also improved, which is a good sign for Cloud9’s chances at upcoming tournaments.

Team Liquid’s Struggle to Adapt

Team Liquid seemed like the winners of the NA shuffle by adding talented players like Simple and Koosta. However, they have faced difficulties in forming a cohesive team dynamic, leading to poor performances in the ESL Esea Pro league. Players like Nitro and Koosta have not been able to replicate their previous success, which is a cause for concern.

CLG’s Inconsistency

CLG was expected to be the top NA team, but they have struggled to maintain their performance. They had a good start at their first LAN but have since struggled online and are currently in relegations tier in the ESL Pro league. The key to their success lies in Cutler’s performance.

Conclusion

The next few months will be crucial in determining the success of the NA shuffle teams. While it is too early to make definitive judgments, the recent performance of Cloud9, Team Liquid, and CLG gives us an idea of their potential. It is essential to keep an eye on their progress in upcoming LAN events.
