Almost six months after their win at DreamHack Montreal (DH MTL), where they secured their appearance at the Six Invitational 2019, the former roster of Cloud9 will be looking to elevate their newly found success during this current Pro League season to the International Stage. During the “Super Month”, Team Recicprocity, achieved a 5-1-1 record, with their only loss being against DarkZero on the last week of the first half which made them drop to third place in the standings.
The day before Pro League Season 9 started, the addition of Alexander “Skys” Magor to the roster in replacement of Lauren “Goddess” Williams was announced. With this change, the team achieved their best results since their win at DH MTL. On Skys' part, though, he wasn’t able to find much success after being relegated twice with the rosters of Counter Logic Gaming and Obey Alliance. But even though the results haven’t been the best for Skys, he will be playing his third Major in a row, all with different teams, and he’s one of the few players to have played every Siege Major ever.

We spoke to Skys to ask about their expectations and preparations for the next big LAN event, the Six Invitational 2019:
Firstly, can you introduce yourself and your roster?
Could you tell us a little bit about what are the team’s roles?
You went from being relegated two seasons in a row to joining Team Reciprocity and losing only one game in the first half of the Pro League season. Did you make any changes in your gameplay or mentality to achieve this kind of results?
LaXInG and yourself were known as one of the best duos in the game during your time at Elevate. Has that dynamic helped with the success of the team so far? And if it has how?
You’ve played at every Siege Major in the history of the game. Will your experience at the biggest stage help your team in any way and how do you feel about playing at the Six Invitational again?
Your group at the Six Invitational is Group A with FaZe Clan, Fnatic, and Ninjas in Pyjamas - which of these do you think will be the biggest challenge?
You are facing the Australian side of Fnatic in your opening game, how have you prepared for this match up?
What are your goals for 2019 as a team?
What gameplay and esports changes would you make to Rainbow Six?
Any messages to your fans?
