In December 2013,Cloud9 joined four other North American LCS teams at the Battle of the Atlantic,facing European champions Fnatic for the second time.With dominating performances by mid laner hai,Cloud9 took the series 2-0,resulting in an overall North American win at the tournament and $10,000 USD for the team.

2014 season[]

Cloud9 won the spring split of the LCS once again,and qualifying for the All Star event.However,prior tothe event,hai’s lung collapsed,hospitalizing him and requiring him touse a respirator,and the team had toplay with a substitute.After C9 requested Link as a temporary replacement,Counter Logic Gaming readily agreed toa two-month emergency loan deal that would cover the time in between splits,including All-Stars.Cloud9 went 3-1 in the group stage,losing only toSK Telecom T1 K,but in the bracket they were eliminated in the first round by OMG,losing 2-0.

In the summer season,despite placing first in the round robin,they took second place overall,losing toTeam SoloMid in the finals 2-3.The second-place finish qualified them for the 2014 season World Championship,where they were drawn into Group D along with NaJin White Shield,Alliance,and KaBuM! e-Sports.Cloud9 went 4-2 in the group,drawing with NaJin Shield for first place but losing the tiebreaker game.They were eliminated from the tournament in the bracket stage,falling 3-1 toSamsung Blue.

2015 Preseason[]

Cloud9 was the North American team fan-voted toIEM San Jose.^{[ 2 ]} They defeated paiN Gaming 2-0,Alliance 2-1,and then Unicorns of Love 3-0 towin the tournament.

On December 30,it was announced that Cloud9 were holding open tryouts for a North American Challenger team.^[3] See information about this team at Cloud9 Tempest.

2015 Season[]

Due totheir IEM San Jose victory,Cloud9 qualified for IEM Katowice in March.They lost their only two games,first toGE Tigers and then toyoe Flash Wolves,and finished in 7th/8th place.Domestically,they underperformed at the start of the season,and were in 8th place at the end of the second week of the spring LCS split.However,they improved over the course of the season,ending with a second-place finish behind Team SoloMid and a playoff bye; after beating Team Liquid 3-2,Cloud9 lost totsM 1-3 in the finals and finished the split overall in second place.

Soon after the spring finals,hai announced his retirement from professional play,citing his wrist injuries and the fact that his support carry playstyle was not viable anymore as reasons for his retirement; however,he would remain with the Cloud9 organization as their Chief Gaming Officer.^[4] After tryouts including Cloud9 Tempest mid laner Yusui and the recently-unbanned European solo queue star Incarnati0n,the team settled on Incarnati0n as their new mid laner for the Summer Split.The team performed poorly for the first five weeks of the split and replaced Meteos with hai going into the sixth week.

With hai back on the team,Cloud9’s record improved from 3-7 to6-12 by the end of the split,and they finished in 7th place after a tie-breaker victory against Team 8,narrowly avoiding relegations and retaining their 70 Championship Points,though they did not qualify for playoffs.In the Regional Finals Gauntlet,Cloud9 reverse-swept both Gravity Gaming and Team Impulse before beating Team Liquid 3-1 in the finals.Their fourteen games played over the course of three days gave them North America’s third seed tothe 2015 Season World Championship,Cloud9’s third-consecutive Worlds.

Considered an underdog at Worlds,Cloud9 were placed into Group B along with Fnatic,ahq,and Invictus Gaming and expected toplace last.Instead,they surprised with an undefeated 3-0 first week,with hai suddenly performing well on Lee Sin and Balls on Darius; Incarnati0n also introduced Veigar as a pick in their first game against ahq.In the second week,Cloud9 needed only one win toadvance tothe quarterfinals but were unable tofind it,losing four games in a row including a tiebreaker loss toahq.They placed third in their group,ahead of only Invictus Gaming.

2016 Preseason[]

After their Worlds run,Cloud9 announced the retirement of LemonNation and his move toa staff role; they also opened tryouts for jungler and support,with hai toplay whichever role was not filled via a tryout.^[5] They ended up adding two new players – former Gravity support Bunny FuFuu and Team Impulse jungler rush – with hai tosplit time with Bunny in the support role.^[6] rush debuted with the team at IEM Cologne,where they were eliminated in the first round by H2k.

2016 Season[]

Cloud9 started the spring season with hai and Bunny FuFuu alternating games,but after two losses with Bunny and two wins with hai,they committed tostarting hai full-time and rose toa 67% winrate,with a third-place seed in the playoffs.However,despite a seeding advantage,the team lost tosixth-seed tsM in the first round.After the end of the split,Cloud9 recreated its Challenger team and shuffled rosters between the two teams,initially setting up for the summer split with Impact,Meteos,Jensen,Sneaky,and Bunny FuFuu as its LCS roster; former Team Dragon Knights support Smoothie later also joined the team.^{[7][ 8 ]}

For the first seven weeks of the split,Bunny FuFuu and Smoothie shared the support role,but after that point Bunny stepped down toa substitute and streaming role,and Smoothie became the full-time starter.^[9] The team equaled its spring record with a 12-6 finish,again securing the third seed into the playoffs.There,Cloud9 defeated Team EnVyUs and Immortals before falling totsM 3-1 in the finals; their second-place result was their best placement since Spring 2015.In the Regional Finals,or the gauntlet,Cloud9 faced and defeated both EnVyUs and Immortals toqualify for the World Championship for the fourth consecutive year.

The team was placed into Group B together with SK Telecom T1,Flash Wolves and I May.The North American powerhouse walked on the edge of elimination until the very last game of the Group Stage: Meteos,Jensen and Sneaky had rough games,and Impact wasn’t able tosnowball an early advantage into a game-winning splitpush threat on his signature Gnar,as he did in the NALCS playoffs.In the end managed toclutch a Quarterfinals berth after two difficult weeks of competition,placing second with a 3-3 score and thus becoming the first North American team since 2014 toplace in the Top 8 at Worlds after North America had been shut out of the playoffs in 2015.They were drawn into the right side of the playoff bracket,where they met Samsung Galaxy and were swept 0-3 by the Korean team.

2017 Season[]

As the best-performing NA team at the 2016 Season World Championship,Cloud9 received an invitation tothe IEM World Championship; however,two weeks before the competition,C9 withdrew from the tournament,citing their priority tofocus on continuing their then-dominant performances in the NA LCS,as well as the political uncertainty of the environment regarding travel by persons with visas.^{[ 10 ]}

In the offseason,Cloud9 made two roster changes.Meteos stepped down as starting jungler,leaving Sneaky as the only remaining member of the original Cloud9 roster.Replacing him was rookie jungler Contractz,formerly of Cloud9 Challenger.The team also acquired former Apex Gaming top laner Ray,with the intention of platooning him and Impact.Cloud9 would also be playing against new LCS team FlyQuest in the Spring,which had begun as Cloud9’s challenger team and included original Cloud9 members hai,Balls,and LemonNation.

With Impact getting most of the starts in the top lane,Cloud9 roared toan 8-0 record over the first four weeks of the Spring Split,good for first place,two games above a surprising FlyQuest.However,Cloud9 cooled off over the next four weeks,going 4-4 and falling towithin 1 game of third place Phoenix1,before a 2-0 final week propelled them toa 14-4 finish,comfortably in second.Cloud9 also beat FlyQuest in both of their head tohead matchups.For their efforts,Reapered win would Coach of the Split,Contractz would receive Rookie of the Split,and Smoothie would also be named tothe all NALCS First Team.

With their playoff bye,Cloud9’s first stop in the playoffs would be against Phoenix1 in the semifinals,which by this time included former C9 jungler Meteos,who had joined them in midseason.Meteos failed todefeat his old team,and Cloud9 swept Phoenix1 3-0,setting up their second consecutive finals appearance against tsM.Going into the finals,C9 elected toalternate Ray and Impact as they had in the semifinals.However,this strategy appeared not towork,as each player lost the first game they played.Switching back toRay for game 3,Cloud9 prevailed in a close match tostave off elimination,followed by a dominant game 4 win behind Impact on Shen and Smoothie’s surprise Gragas support pick.With Ray returning for game 5,Cloud9 were on the brink of reverse sweeping tsM and winning their first title since the 2014 Spring Split.However,Jensen failed touse either his Zhonya’s Hourglass or Ekko ultimate in a crucial teamfight,giving tsM the victory in both the fight and the series.

Cloud9 made no changes in the midseason,but began the Summer Split inconsistently.Of particular concern was the top lane,with both Impact and Ray starting for stretches of time but neither playing well.At the mid-split break,Cloud9 was 6-4,good for fourth place behind tsM and a much improved Immortals and CLG.

Their second place finish in the previous split meant that Cloud9 would be one of the three North American teams invited tothe first EU/NA Rift Rivals,along with tsM and Phoenix1.However,a number of Cloud9 players were ill during the event,so while NA were dominant,Cloud9 finished only 3-3,the worst of the invited North American teams,and did not make it out of the group stage.

The aftereffects of their Rift Rivals struggles continued when C9 returned todomestic play,as they went 0-2 in week 6 and fell to6th place.However,helped by having the easiest remaining schedule of any team,C9 won their final six games tofinish fourth.The team also settled on Impact in the top lane,with Ray not playing any games after week six.Despite the team’s struggles,Jensen had remained consistently dominant,and managed toedge Bjergsen of tsM for the NALCS First Team mid lane slot.

In the quartefinals,Cloud9 were matched up against 5th place Team Dignitas,who also had an inconsistent Summer Split but were looking much improved with the addition of bot laners Altec and Adrian.The series was expected tobe close,but Dignitas shocked the world by taking the first two games off of Cloud9 toput them one game away from advancing.C9 managed towin game 3 and were on the verge of sending it toa game 5 with all three Dignitas inhibitors down,but a clutch Taliyah ultimate by mid laner Keane prevented C9 from reaching the nexus.Dignitas then held on tooutlast Cloud9,eliminating them from the playoffs.

Due totheir Championship Points from the Spring Split,Cloud9 would have the first slot in the Regional Finals tomake the 2017 Season World Championship.There,they met CLG and defeated them 3-1,keeping Cloud9’s record of never missing Worlds since qualifying for the LCS intact.Due tobeing the third seed,Cloud9 entered Worlds through the new play-In stage,and were seeded into Group B with Dire Wolves of the OPL and Team oNe eSports of the CBLOL.Cloud9 easily dispatched both teams in the group stage and then defeated Latin America North’s Lyon Gaming toqualify for the main Group Stage,all without dropping a single game.

In the main event,Cloud9 were seeded into Group A,alongside LCK second-place team SK Telecom T1,LPL champions Edward Gaming and second-place Ahq e-Sports Club of the LMS.Expected tobe in contention with Edward Gaming for the second seed,Cloud9 had a good first week,losing only toSKT,as EDG massively under performed.However,Cloud9 lost toboth SKT and a much improved EDG in week 2 and appeared on the verge of having toplay a tiebreaker before EDG once again blew a massive gold lead toSKT,propelling C9 into the knockout stage.For the second year in a row,Cloud9 were the only North American team tomake it out of groups.

In the knockout stage,they matched up against Team WE of the LPL.After losing the first game despite opening up an early lead,C9 won the next two games toput them one win away from becoming the first North American team ever toadvance tothe semifinals of Worlds.However,Cloud9’s luck ran out there,as they lost the next two games and were eliminated,ending their Worlds journey.

2018 Season[]

Spring Split[]

In the offseason,Cloud9 once again made changes in jungle and top lane.Both top laners departed and were replaced by rookie Licorice,while Contractz was replaced by former tsM jungler Svenskeren.Reviews of these changes were mixed: while Licorice had been one of the best top laners in the Challenger Series,there were questions about his ability tomatch up against many of the elite imports in the NALCS,and Svenskeren had been considered a weak link on tsM despite having won multiple splits with the team.The beginning of the Spring Split seemed tobelie these pessimistic predictions,as Cloud9 began the season 7-1,tied with an equally surprising Echo Fox for first place through the first four weeks.Particularly integral totheir success was Licorice’s stellar play on a variety of carry champions,as well as excellent support play by Smoothie.However,the team seemed tohit a speed bump in the next few weeks,posting 1-1 records in weeks 5 through 8,with Licorice beginning tostruggle as the top lane meta shifted towards tanks.Still,going into Week 9,C9 had clinched playoffs and remained tied for first,and needed only a single victory in the final week toclinch themselves a playoff bye.However,they first lost toa surging Team Liquid,then were upset by 8th place FlyQuest,setting up an unprecedented four way tie for 3rd place between them,Team Liquid,Clutch Gaming,and tsM that had tobe broken through a tiebreaker series.Cloud9’s struggles continued in this series,as they lost again toTeam Liquid in the first tiebreaker todrop them tothe 5th place match,before managing tofinally stop the bleeding with a victory against Clutch.

In the playoff quarterfinals,Cloud9 were yet again matched up against Team Liquid.Though Liquid was favored due toC9’s late season struggles,the series was expected tobe hotly contested.While C9 kept all three games close,they failed towin any of them,ending their season in the quarterfinals with only 10 Championship Points.

Summer Split[]

C9 started the 2018 Summer Season by promoting goldenglue,Keith,and Zeyzal tothe LCS roster.By Week 5 C9 were in tenth place.After bringing back Jensen and Sneaky tothe main roster as well as subbing in blaber for the rest of the summer season,Cloud9 surged and made it tosecond place and secured a playoff bye by the end of the regular season.In the playoffs,Cloud9 defeated Team SoloMid 3-2 in the Semifinals and lost 0-3 toTeam Liquid in the Finals.They moved onto the Regional Qualifier and won 3-0 over tsM tomake worlds.

At the 2018 World Championship,Cloud9 once again had tomake it through the play-In stage.They went 4-0 in the play-In group stage,and beat Gambit Esports 3-2 toadvance tothe Main Event.Cloud 9 were seeded into Group B,dubbed the “Group of Death”,with Team Vitality,Royal Never Give Up,and Gen.G.Cloud9 defied expectations and made it out of the group in second place with a 4-3 record after losing the first place tiebreaker toRNG.

In the Quarterfinals,C9 made history and defeated Afreeca Freecs 3-0,making it the first time since the Season One World Championship that a North American team had made semifinals.In the Semifinals,C9 lost 0-3 toFnatic.

2019 season[]

Spring Split[]

After defying expectations the previous year,the fans had high hopes for Cloud9.During the offseason,they lost one of their longest standing members,Jensen,to one of their biggest rivals Team Liquid and decided tobring in European talent,Nisqy,to replace him.By the end of the regular season they had an impressive record of 14-4 beating every team at least once with the exception of Team Liquid who had the same record but managed toclaim first seed due totheir 2-0 head tohead record with C9.Cloud9 were still able tosecure a bye for playoffs straight tothe semifinals where they would eventually be reverse swept by long time rivals,tsM,ending their playoffs run for the spring split.

Summer Split[]

Summer split for Cloud9 was all about their star jungler,Svenskeren,who dominated in most of their games with play-making junglers such as Gragas,Lee Sin,and Xin Zhao.Unlike the previous split,they beat every team at least once including Team Liquid whom they handily defeated in both games of the regular season.They ended the regular season with a record of 12-6 enough tosecure them a bye for playoffs in the semifinals once again.They would face the 3rd Seed,CLG in the semifinals and beat them 3-1 toadvance in the finals against their biggest rival at the time,Team Liquid.The finals took place at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit,Michigan where Svenskeren was awarded HONDA MVP for his monstrous performance during the regular season.The finals would go to5 games with Team Liquid eventually coming on top as the 2019 Summer Split Champions winning the championship back-to-back-to-back-to-back.For the first time in 3 years,Cloud9 would no longer have towin the regional gauntlet toqualify for worlds as they have accumulated enough championship points toattend as North America’s second seed.

At the 2019 World Championship,Cloud9 was sorted into a very tough Group A alongside the MSI Champion G2 Esports,star rookie LCK squad Griffin and the underdog Hong Kong Attitude.C9 took both games from HKA,but left the group disappointed as they failed towin against either G2 or Griffin.

2020 season[]

Spring Split[]

As Cloud9 fell short of their expectations in late 2019,the organization made some controversial moves for the 2020 season.The biggest news was the removal of Sneaky,who had been with the team since its inception in 2013.Sneaky opted toretire and was replaced by former tsM ADC Zven.Svenskeren and Zeyzal both left tojoin the newly-reformed Evil Geniuses,and the two were replaced by occasional substitute blaber and up-and-coming Clutch Gaming support vulcan.Although the roster shake-up drew the ire of many fans,C9 had their most successful split ever,recording a 17-1 record and only dropping a single game in playoffs.In his first split playing full time,blaber would also be named the 2020 Spring Split MVP.This split secured C9’s first LCS championship since 2014.However,due tothe coronavirus pandemic,the 2020 Mid-Season Invitational was canceled and C9 was unable toattend.

Summer Split[]

In Summer,C9 started the split just as dominant as they were in spring,recording an 8-0 record in the first 4 weeks.However,by the end of week 9,C9 had dropped toa 13-5 record leaving them in second place under the 15-3 Team Liquid.With a weak read on the patch,C9 were shockingly upset by FlyQuest with a 1-3 loss in the playoff quarterfinals.They recovered with a 3-0 win over Evil Geniuses but were finally eliminated in the third round of the loser’s bracket by tsM in a very close series.In a complete reversal of spring,this would be C9’s biggest failure yet as they were unable toreach the Worlds stage for the first time ever.

2021 Season[]

Spring Split[]

Although preseason videos indicated that the roster would be staying together for another year,more changes were made tothe Cloud9 roster for 2021.The team ousted head coach Reapered,who would go on tocoach 100 Thieves; they also parted ways with Licorice,who would go on tojoin Golden Guardians,and replaced him with Academy top laner fudge.Nisqy,who left tojoin Fnatic,was replaced with a huge buyout by legendary European mid laner Perkz.The new lineup would quickly get a chance toprove themselves at the 2021 LCS Lock In.At that tournament,C9 had a strong showing despite early adjustment struggles from fudge.They lost 2-3 in the Lock In finals against Team Liquid.

During the spring split,C9 performed well and ended the season with a 13-5 record tolock in the first seed for playoffs.They took down 100 Thieves and then defeated Team Liquid in both a winners’ bracket series and the grand finals totake their second LCS spring title in a row.At the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational,they were put into a group with LCK champions and 2020 World Champions DWG KIA,LJL champions DetonatioN FocusMe and LATAM champions INFINITY.After splitting games with both DWK and DFM and winning both against INF,C9 would advance tothe Rumble stage.There,they would only record 3 wins in 10 games against MAD Lions,Pentanet.GG and Royal Never Give Up and they would fail toadvance tothe final stage.

Summer Split[]

In the Summer Split,C9 put up a decent performance,ending the split with a 15-12 record and a 28-17 record overall.This gave them the fourth seed going into playoffs,where they would take an early 3-1 loss toTeam Liquid.The team would then make a long,arduous lower bracket run,sweeping both Golden Guardians and Evil Geniuses only tosqueak past tsM in a 3-2 victory for a Worlds slot.Their domestic run ended with a 3-1 loss to100 Thieves,and thus C9 would take a third seed Worlds berth yet again.

In the play-in stage of the 2021 Season World Championship,C9 would take second in their group behind LJL champions DetonatioN FocusMe after dropping the 3-1 tiebreaker game.This meant that C9 would have toplay a best-of-3 knockout match toadvance tothe main stage.They were seeded against Group A’s third place team PEACE,the LCO Champions,and convincingly swept them tomove on tothe group stage.The team was then seeded into an extremely tough Group A alongside DWG KIA,Rogue and Funplus Phoenix.Although C9 failed towin a game in the first week of groups,they battled back with wins over Rogue and the collapsing FPX in the second week.In a nail-biting tiebreaker game,C9 defeated Rogue a second time off the back of a brilliant LeBlanc performance from Perkz tosecure another quarterfinals seed.C9 was seeded against LCK second seed Gen.G,who swept them and ended the season.

2022 Season[]

Spring Split[]

2022 brought another wild shake-up for the C9 roster.Perkz departed tojoin superteam Team Vitality in the LEC.vulcan,looking tochange lane partners,left tojoin Evil Geniuses alongside star rookie Danny.But the most shocking move from the organization was the hiring of controversial personality LS at head coach.LS aimed tototally restructure the team,bringing with him three talents from Korea: T1 Academy ADC Berserker; rookie support winsome; and the storied LCK top laner summit,whose arrival would result in fudge swapping tomid lane.Zven,while no longer starting on the team,would step back into an Academy role toassist in the coach’s vision of internal scrims for compositional practice.LS’ tenure would see the players trying out unorthodox picks and strategies,like Ivern and Soraka in the mid lane.The team posted a convincing 3-1 start in the first two weeks,but just before C9 took the stage for their fifth game,the organization announced on Twitter that LS had been released and Max Waldo had been promoted tohead coach.Nevertheless,C9 was able toregain their footing and finished the split with a 13-5 record,just a game behind first-place Team Liquid.

In the playoffs,however,C9 would be swept by 100 Thieves todrop tothe losers’ bracket early.From there,they would sweep Golden Guardians and proceed tobe swept again by Evil Geniuses,who would go on towin the split in a surprising 3-0 upset.

Summer Split[]

With the ousting of LS,C9 ended up removing his handpicked players,summit and winsome,but keeping their star rookie in Berserker.fudge moved back totop lane tomake way for the return of Jensen,who had taken the spring split off after being replaced on Team Liquid by rival mid laner Bjergsen.To replace winsome,Zven made a surprising pivot tosupport,aiming touse his wealth of experience in the bot lane tonourish the macro skills of the mechanically gifted Berserker.This split would prove tobe one of the most competitive LCS splits yet,as C9,EG,100,TL and CLG all looked poised totake the title.As a result,C9 would end up squarely in the middle of the pack with a 10-8 record.

In playoffs,Cloud9 managed tobest the scrappy Counter Logic Gaming with a 3-2 win.With Worlds on the line in the second round of the upper bracket,C9 would also convincingly defeat spring champions and matchup favorites Evil Geniuses tomove on tothe winners’ semifinals against 100 Thieves and secure another Worlds seed.C9 made quick work of 100T in the winners final with a 3-1 victory,leaving them toawait a rematch against either EG or 100T in the finals.100T scraped by with a 3-2 win over EG tomeet C9 at the Grand Finals in Chicago.Still,C9 dealt with 100T in an anticlimactic 3-0 series,easily snatching a third LCS championship in as many years.Despite his many years with the team,this would be Jensen’s first LCS win with C9.

As the first seed from the LCS,C9 were dropped into Group A with a lot of familiar faces: old cross-Atlantic rivals Fnatic,the stacked Faker-led lineup of T1 and returning World Champions EDward Gaming.They had a tough first week,going 0-3 in their group without showing many signs of life.Among fans and media,a lot of the blame was shifted totop lane,where fudge’s attempts togo toe-to-toe with his groupmates in bruiser matchups were a disaster,but nobody on the team was shining.At the top of the final day of Group A play,C9 managed totriumph over the 2-1 Fnatic,but a brilliant Thresh game from EDG Meiko sealed C9’s fate and they were eliminated after one last ride against T1.

2023 Season[]

Spring Split[]

Jensen departed the team once more in the offseason,joining Team Dignitas alongside his former TL jungler Santorin.To replace him,C9 scouted far and wide,landing on two players for the mid lane: LFL mid laner diplex,an up-and-comer who showed promise in EM 2022 Summer Main Event; and EMENES,a Korean-born player who had,to this point,played in four regions at the tier 2 level.EMENES showcased a lot of raw talent.However,his reputation as a toxic teammate preceeded him.Going with blaber’s wishes,C9 decided totake a chance on him,but slotted him into their Academy team for the time being as diplex would be plugged into the LCS lineup.
