Cloud9 have acquired former Team SoloMid coach Soham "valens" Chowdhury on a trial period, according to a report from WWG's Steven Cropley on Friday.

valens had been a coach for TSM since January of last year and was with them throughout 2016. His fate was unknown after the TSM's CS:GO roster was sold to Misfits on Jan. 14.

C9 have been without a coach since the departure of Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman last July. He joined the team on a trial basis on March last year, until he was quietly released four months later.
