We chatted with the as-always-ebullient Ryan 'freakazoid' Abadir following Cloud9's successful journey into the playoffs of the iBUYPOWER CS:GO Cup.

Cloud9 managed to make it into the semifinals of the iBUYPOWER 2015 Cup as the final team, following a 16-5 takedown of compLexity.

Although the team will not be competing for an IEM San Jose spot (having already been invited), there is still a $40,000 difference which the team no doubt wish to transcend and emerge in first place in their gambit.

We briefly talked with Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir as the venue was shutting down to hear his thoughts on his team's well-being and his visible glee for playing with old cohort Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce in the RGN Pro Series LAN.

More of our interviews from iBUYPOWER Cup will be forthcoming on day two of the event and other HLTV.org videos can be found on our Youtube channel here.
