Rambo suits up, joins valens at the iBUYPOWER Masters

During Cloud9's match today against Fnatic today at the iBUYPOWER Masters, Ronald "Rambo" Kim was spotted standing behind Cloud9 alongside Soham "valens" Chowdhury. Although Cloud9 nor Rambo have confirmed his presence at the event, it seems to lend credence to previous reports valens is looking to transition into an analyst role with Cloud9 with Rambo potentially taking over the coaching reins.

This news come after Cloud9 was previously spotted using Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen during their leadup to Blast Pro Series: Lisbon last year amidst rumors that valens is looking to retire from coaching after the Major. Rambo was previously the coach of compLexity before being released from the team at the end of 2018. It is yet to be seen how Cloud9 plan to utilize Rambo at the event however it is likely is he just shadowing valens due to being unable to communicate with the players during matches.
