Alec "Slemmy" White has left Cloud9's CS:GO roster, and the organization has picked up Timothy "autimatic" Ta from Team SoloMid to take his place.

Cloud9 made the announcement Wednesday evening on their website, saying Slemmy had made the decision to leave the team following the ELEAGUE Season 1 match against Natus Vincere in late July.

"After thoroughly discussing options, Alec asked to be removed from the starting roster shortly before the two week team break scheduled for early August," the statement reads. "Alec has echoed the sentiment that he currently has no intention of stepping into a coaching role, and fully intends to continue his career as a player."

autimatic has played for teams such as compLexity Gaming and Team SoloMid in the past year, placing 17th-22nd with TSM at ELEAGUE Season 1. His first appearance with Cloud9 will be on Aug. 17 at ESL Pro League Season 4 in a match against Team Liquid.
