Former Cloud9 member Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert will play for mousesports at ESL One Belo Horizonte as Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný will sit out the event, the German organisation have announced.

The circumstances behind oskar's absence were not disclosed by mousesports, who merely stated that the Czech talent will not travel to Belo Horizonte due to "personal reasons."

The news comes as a huge blow for mousesports, who will miss their top performer this year. The 26-year-old has averaged a 1.15 rating on LAN in 2018, posting 1+ ratings in every offline tournament his team have attended.

n0thing has been out of action since August, when he and Mike "⁠shroud⁠" Grzesiek were replaced on Cloud9's active roster by William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba and Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik.

Last month, the 27-year-old announced that he was no longer tied to Cloud9, the organisation he had joined in 2014. While with C9, he most notably helped the team to win the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals and to finish in second place at ESL One Cologne 2017.

Later this week, the North American veteran will be in London as part of the broadcast line-up for the ECS Season 5 Finals, where eight teams, including Cloud9, will square off for their share of a $660,000 prize pool.

ESL One Belo Horizonte will run from June 13-17 at the Mineirinho Arena, with $200,000 on the line. mousesports will attend the event with:
