CS:GO coach kassad parts ways with Cloud9

After just four months at the helm of Cloud9's new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster, Aleksandar 'kassad' Trifunović has left. This is due to a "stylistic clash" between kassad's coaching vision and in-game leader Alex 'ALEX' McMeekin, according to the organisation.

Kassad was brought on by general manager Henry 'HenryG' Greer earlier this year to help him build the 'Colossus'. However after mixed results, the organisation has reached the decision to let him go during the current player break. There is no "bad blood" between kassad and the team though.

"No one is or was at fault and there is absolutely no bad blood between him, the org, or players," HenryG says on Twitter. "It simply felt like there was somewhat of a stylistic clash between the IGL and kassad's game, leading to a few to many compromises from a strategic point of view."
