Cloud9 Retain Goldenglue, Sign Nisqy As Replacement For Jensen
By Zac Cameron ·
Despite losing their star mid lane player in the off-season, Cloud9 will attempt to maintain their position in the League with one retained player, and one new import.
Cloud9 may have lost their star mid lane player in Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen, with the news that he will be joining Team Liquid for the 2019 season, but that doesn’t mean that the team will not have a presence in the mid lane going forward. Not one, but two announcements came down the wire today, as Greyson “Goldenglue” Gilmer announced his intention to remain with the team and challenge for the starter role, while Cloud9 themselves announced today that they have acquired mid laner Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer from Splyce.
Hailing from ?? Belgium, please join us in giving a warm welcome to the latest member of the #C9LoL team, Yasin "@Nisqylol" Dinçer!

“I’m really happy to join the C9 family,” Nisqy said. “It’s an honor for me to be part of one of the biggest organizations in the world. I’m not here to fit Jensen’s shoes, but to build my own legacy. I will work hard to make you guys proud and to repay Jack for his trust.”
“Nisqy has been turning heads for a long time now and it was an easy decision for us to welcome him to Cloud9,” stated Jack Etienne, Cloud9 CEO & Owner. “The work he has put in to get here is second to none, and that work ethic is going to be a perfect fit. Welcome to the C9 family, Nisqy!”
Cloud9 made good use of their bench players during the 2018 season, so fans can certainly expect to see plenty of roster switch-ups as the players adapt to their various opponents. At the very least, the mid lane will still play home to a European mid lane prodigy for some time yet.
