American e-sportsman Ricky “floppy” Kemery announced his retirement from Counter Strike. He will continue his career as part of Cloud 9 in Valorant. The player began playing in CS:GO in 2014. He regularly competed in the ESEA MDL, and in 2019 his team finally made it to the ESL Pro League. The highlight of his career was playing for the American esports organization ATK.
This roster performed well in the finals of the 10th season of the ESL Pro League, and Cloud 9 decided to sign these players next year. However, the coronavirus pandemic disrupted the original plans, and the team had to limit itself to competitions at the local level for some time. The consequence of this was a drop in results, and as a result, Cloud 9 decided to disband the roster, the key players of which will now play for Extra Salt.
Floppy remained in Cloud 9 for some time, but at the end of March the esports organization decided to completely abandon the CS: GO division for some time. An additional factor for floppy's transition to another discipline was the inability to find interesting offers from other North American teams. Eric “Xeppaa” found himself in the same position. Bach, who previously played for Cloud 9: he also formally remains a member of it, since he has not found which esports organization he could join.
