C9’s Boombl4 confirms dual responsibilities in CS2
A Revamped Cloud9 Roster Takes on BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2023 with Boombl4’s Multifaceted Role
In an exciting turn of events, the Cloud9 roster has undergone a transformation, welcoming Boombl4 into their ranks as they gear up for the highly anticipated BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2023. With their first match against Natus Vincere just around the corner, it has been revealed that Boombl4 will be taking on not one but two important roles within the team.
Prior to the tournament kick-off, HLTV managed to secure an interview with Cloud9’s newest member, shedding light on his diverse responsibilities. Unsurprisingly, holding the position of in-game leader was a natural fit for him; however, what caught everyone by surprise was his additional role as an AWP player. Although he chose not to disclose specifics about his second role during the interview, teasingly stating that he didn’t want to reveal all their strategies before the competition began.
“It depends on the map,” explained Boombl4 intriguingly when asked about his AWP duties. “I can’t divulge which maps I’ll be wielding this powerful weapon because I don’t want to show our hand prematurely. You will soon witness it firsthand though – rest assured that on many maps I will assume the mantle of primary AWPer.”
An analysis of further statements made by Boombl4 suggests that he aims to adopt a passive style when using this coveted sniper rifle. While humbly acknowledging that he does not possess skills comparable to renowned players like ZywOo or s1mple, he emphasized his intent to adapt his gameplay based on positional requirements dictated by the maps. “I simply need to position myself where I am needed,” he clarified.
While Boombl4’s specific AWPing assignments still remain a mystery, we won’t have to wait long until all is unveiled. As part of the Group A opening matches at BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2023 in Copenhagen, Cloud9 will have ample opportunity to exhibit their full map pool. This setting provides an ideal stage for Boombl4 to showcase his adeptness with the AWP on those maps where he assumes this critical role.
The official signing of Boombl4 onto Cloud9 took place on November 2nd after occasional stand-ins with the team previously. The departure of their star AWPer, sh1ro, and ElectroNic temporarily taking up in-game leader duties set the stage perfectly for these recent roster changes and seamless role adjustments within Cloud9.
