Cloud9 Interview: Karnage Cotto Rolex And Ian Huston

Karnage: With PUBG PC/console you will run across a higher level of skill. With Mobile, it is more common to win a chicken dinner even if you’re not a pro player. In order to become a pro on PC it takes far more practice, higher-end equipment, and a good establishment in the pro community. I personally enjoy Mobile Game Adaptations more because I am able to play anytime, anywhere, just using my mobile ph


Perhaps the most contentious pick on this list, Destiny 2 hasn't really been seen as a multiplayer game in the same sense as the rest of the titles in this article. Despite the PvP elements of Bungie's follow-up effort to Destiny remaining as polarizing as ever, though, there's no disputing that Destiny 2 is one of the most successful multiplayer games of the y


Rolex: My personal mission statement is to welcome those that are behind the blinds just taking a peak at what is going on. Many players don’t want to go "pro" because they believe they don’t have the capability to. But at the end of the day, just take that leap of faith and follow your dreams. I hope the PUBG Mobile community and even the mobile community grows and becomes something exponentially huge. Because I can see that the ability to cultivate is th


So why did For Honor never seem to gain much traction in 2017? It's tough to say—a lot of games got lost in the shuffle of what has to be one of the gaming industry's most illustrious years yet. Ubisoft has remained committed to providing new content for players, however, and anyone who missed For Honor the first time around would be remiss not to give it a look during the holiday sea


E Sports are huge and they’re only getting bigger. There are more and more teams like Cloud9 with large rosters of incredibly skilled players, and tournaments are even being aired on television, not just on Twitch or YouTube. Where do you see the major league gaming scene five years from


Rolex: Five years from now I personally believe it is going to be as big as any other sport. People love esports. They love to see their favorite players out on stage competing against the best of the best. It’s only going up from h


Added new weapon Mk14 EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle). Mk14 EBR is a Designated Marksman Rifle that can only be obtained from Carepackages. This weapon is chambered for 7.62mm and sniper rifle attachments

The Mk14 is a semi-auto sniper rifle weapon comparable to the game's current SKS, as another crate-only weapon however, the chances of getting it (and other care package items) is becoming increasingly rare. With the previous rifle add-on (the Groza), soon the game will have to cycle some of these weapons into the regular loot ta


The single-shot rate of fire is the go-to fire rate when engaging in long to mid-range firefights. This allows a player to maintain accuracy and not succumb to the brutal recoil on most weapons. Using a single-shot and a mid to long-range scope can turn any assault rifle into a powerful sniper rifle. The use of single-shot can be the difference in a firefight when used effectively and accurat


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' œcrate and key system isn't supposed to come until the game launches in full but of course, money talks so it's coming NOW. According to Greene and the devs, it's for testing but they're selling items already for real cash so take that for what you will. The goal is to provide a "healthy economy" after launch to keep monetizing the player base for future updates and content additions (like the two in-development maps). All the items are cosmetic only and should not affect gameplay. Still, microtransactions during early access are tough to swallow, especially for a game that's selling so well right now. The other concern is that because the in-game cosmetics count as Steam inventory items, players can sell for real-world cash which can lead to skin gambling/market issues like CS:GO had to deal with recen


The most important idea to keep in mind when deciding where to drop lies in the path of the plane. The majority of players will land somewhere relatively close to the plane's trajectory, so to avoid hot zones a player must stray as far away from the plane as possible. This can be done by not pulling your parachute and aiming your camera up, immediately after dropping. This will allow your character to glide towards whichever direction you are fac


Ian Huston: Founded in 2013, Cloud9 has grown to become one of the most recognizable esports organizations in the world. With championships industry-wide, unmatched viewership hours, and extensive benefits packages for players and staff, Cloud9 prides itself on being the best in all categories. 2018 alone has been a huge year for the organization with championship victories at the CSGO Boston Major, Rocket League Season 6 World Championship, Rainbow 6 Dreamhack Montreal, PUBG PGL Bucharest and Hong Kong Invitational, and League of Legends Academy Worlds. Along with this, the London Spitfire claimed the first Overwatch League Grand Finals as the British Hurricane took home a Contenders champions
