On January 28, 2018, Cloud9 penned an exciting addition to the history books of Counter-Strike Global Offensive by winning the ELEAGUE Major in Boston. It is the first time a North American team has won a CS:GO Major and only the third big international title to be hosted in the region.
The championship came from a team where only one player, Tarik “tarik” Celik, had ever even reached the playoffs of a Major. For Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham, the championship in Boston carried a much deeper sentiment. Latham had been hunting for Legendary status ever since his first CS:GO Major at DreamHack Winter 2013.
