We also had a chance to catch-up with two Cloud9 players, Jordan 'n0thing' Gilbert and Ryan 'fREAKAZOiD' Abadir, to talk with them about the North American team's prospects going forward.

Cloud9 were not able to close out the grand finals of ESWC 2015 in the home continent's favour, and that honour went to the skill-heavy and at times clinically precise Na`Vi lineup.

However, the team did have the distinction of taking another elite European squad down to the wire in a grand final series (following the eerily parallel series with fnatic in Cologne last weekend).

HLTV.org took aside Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert (who played an incredibly strong and dynamic series despite being ill) and Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir for a chat about public perceptions of the North American team and many other topics.
