9Pandas CS2 player Timur "clax" Sabirov was in talks with Cloud9 about joining their roster. The rifler confirmed this while addressing insider Vladislav "harumi" Radvilovich on Telegram, who recently claimed that C9 made a poor offer to clax.
By the way, clax didn't join Cloud9 mostly because they made a worse contract offer.
Clax responded to harumi, partially denying that information. However, he did confirm there were talks with Cloud9.
This isn't true. I could discuss the conditions during the call but didn't mention them. It's incorrect to say that [transfer didn't happen] because of this.
Harumi insisted his information was correct and implied that clax denied the leak for some reason. On June 3, 9Pandas also said on Telegram that "there was a possibility of clax's departure to C9," although their statement was revealed in a joking manner during what looked like a fake account breach to present their new lineup.
OverDrive reported on clax and shalfey's negotiations in talks with Cloud9 on May 7. The latest leaks claimed that HeavyGod and Keoz were also tested by the team, along with danistzz and the 15-year-old syph0 from Kazakhstan.
