Martin “STYKO” Styk has found a temporary home prior to ESL One Cologne, and the team is from North America.<\/p>
Cloud9 announced that STYKO will be playing as their fifth for ESL One Cologne from July 3 to 8. He’ll be filling the vacant spot that was left by Pujan “FNS” Mehta, who was officially benched<\/a> in May.<\/p>

It was initially rumored<\/a> that former G2 Esports star Oscar “mixwell” Canellas would be filling in for the North American squad at the prestigious ESL event. Apparently things fell through once Mousesports benched<\/a> STYKO and replaced him with Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelsk three days ago.<\/p>
This move, however, doesn’t confirm STYKO as the team’s new fifth. Ever since FNS’ benching, it seems that the organization has struggled to find a solid fifth for the team that would work, evidently because it’s been over a month since his transition to the bench. In a remote interview<\/a> with Dot Esports at the ECS Season Five Finals earlier this month, Will “RUSH” Wierzba said that the team wants to be 100 percent sure about their next fifth.<\/p>
