Cloud9 has announced the addition of Chris ‘Elmapuddy’ Tebbit as an Assistant Coach and Analyst for its CS:GO roster. Elmapuddy is a popular Australian CS:GO YouTuber whose channel has over 86,000 subscribers, where he regularly uploads analysis videos that often dive deep into advanced strategies and mechanics.
While his rising popularity as a YouTuber certainly adds value to Cloud9, this addition seems to have been made with a priority on performance rather than brand building, as Elmapuddy’s knowledge has been vouched for by industry veterans such as Thorin in the recent past.
