Cloud9 reportedly benches CS:GO star woxic

Cloud9's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team looks set to make another personnel change just four months after its latest restructure. Özgür '⁠woxic' Eker, who signed with the organisation in a deal worth nearly $1.4 million, has been reportedly benched.

According to reports by Rush B Media, the Turkish AWPer was benched earlier this week, and while the exact reason hasn't been disclosed, a source close to the player says it is due to "non-performance related issues."

The decision to bench woxic has come at time of change for Cloud9. Just last week, the organisation announced it was parting ways with coach Aleksandar 'kassad' Trifunović due to a "stylistic clash" between him and in-game leader Alex 'ALEX' McMeekin.
