Cloud9 give statement on release of LS

Cloud9 has provided Inven Global with a statement regarding the release of LS.

The statement reads as follows:

"At Cloud9, we have a standard that all our coaching staff must meet.

From the start of our working relationship, there was a fundamental difference in how we viewed these standards, and we worked together to try and find a compromise. Despite our best efforts to work with LS, we were unable to work towards a resolution and came to the decision that it is best for all parties to part ways.

This decision does not come lightly, and we wish nothing but the best for LS in his next chapter.

Now, the team looks towards the future. We are confident in Max Waldo and his coaching ability to take our team to where we need to be moving forward."

Cloud9 also confirmed that the organization would not be taking additional questions on the matter at this time. 

Cloud9 published a video to their Twitter account featuring CEO Jack Etienne, head coach Max Waldo, jungler Robert "Blaber" Huang and Summit regarding the release of LS. In the video, the importance of making a change in coaching staff was stressed, but no specifics were given on what led to the release of LS.
