September 6, 2023

After 11 months as a member of Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #7 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong mitch Mitch Semago moose Kaleb Jayne OXY Francis Hoang , Jordan "Zellsis" Montemurro has announced that he is in search of a new team as an unrestricted free agent.

Zellsis originally joined Cloud9 as the team bolstered their ranks with players breaking off from a multitude of rosters with the aspirations of finding further glory in the 2023 Champions Tour Americas League. While the team had an impressive showing throughout the regular season, only dropping a series to LOUD LOUD Brazil Rank #2 dgzin Douglas Silva v1nny Vínicius Gonçalves pANcada Bryan Luna tuyz Arthur Andrade cauanzin Cauan Pereira , the team that finished ahead of them, they would fail to replicate their successes in the playoffs and secure a bid to compete at Masters: Tokyo.

Despite not being able to travel to Japan for Masters, they set their sights on the final event of the year: qualification to Valorant Champions through the Americas Last Chance Qualifier. In that event, despite their automatic bid to the upper semifinals through placement, they fell short twice at the hands of the Latin American teams KRÜ Esports KRÜ Esports Latin America South Rank #3 keznit Angelo Mori Mazino Roberto Rivas adverso Benjamín Poblete mta Nicolás González Shyy Fabian Usnayo Melser Marco Eliot Machuca Amaro and LEVIATÁN LEVIATÁN Latin America South Rank #1 Demon1 Max Mazanov tex Ian Botsch kiNgg Francisco Aravena C0M Corbin Lee in the upper and lower final respectively, ending their 2023 VCT season.

About two weeks ago, Mateja "qpert" Mijovic, the team's substitute and sixth man, also announced that he would be exploring new opportunities in all regions.

Cloud9 is currently one player short of a full five-man roster for the Red Bull Home Ground 4 OFF//SEASON event that is set to kick off at the start of November.

Currently, Cloud9's roster contains the following members:

Dylan "runi" Cade
Erick "Xeppaa" Bach
Nathan "leaf" Orf
Jake "jakee" Anderson
Matthew "mCe" Elmore (Head coach)

Idk why people talking shit about c9, zellsis had 1 good match in every 10 or something ,even if there wasn't money issue I'm pretty sure he was gonna get cut.
Good luck to him tho

everyone at c9 were offered league minimum, jake is the only one who took it

cope as hard as you want, but if zellsis took it he would stay on that roster

c9 is a shit org

How much is league minimum? I’m curious because I had heard it was like 10-15k a month

it 50k a year

players in t2 can get 10k a month, so its pretty shitty

You are delusional. If any tier 2 players get paid 10k a month, they are extreme minority.
50k a year + living expenses covered is better paid than most jobs in US.

Yeah I remember seeing clips of people talking about 5k a month in T2 was considered very well paid.

thats the content creator teams paying about avg

any good players can get more than that

also 5k a month is more than league minimum which is 4k a month, so tier 2 still pays more.
