Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #7 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong mitch Mitch Semago OXY Francis Hoang has announced the signing of Ricky "floppy" Kemery alongside Erick "Xeppaa" Bach.

Cloud9

@Cloud9

This one's no imposter ඞ

We're excited to announce that @floppyCSGO has joined #C9BLUE!

Cloud9

@Cloud9

There's about to be a whole lot more Chaos in the server 😈

Please join us in welcoming @Xeppaaa to #C9BLUE!

floppy transitions to Valorant from Cloud9 CS:GO as one of the longest-standing members of the roster, confirming an earlier report of the move. While most of his original squad moved on from Cloud9 to Extra Salt, floppy remained strong under the C9's blue colors as Henry "HenryG" Greer came on to manage the project he titled the 'Colossus'.

Despite high expectations, the team struggled to reach higher than the top four in the highest competition. In 2021, Xeppaa was brought on board but the team failed to advance in several qualifiers they were expected to win, such as the DreamHack Masters Spring qualifier.

Xeppaa also reunites with leaf in Cloud Blue's new six-man roster, both having played under the leadership of Joshua "steel" Nissan in Chaos' CS:GO team.

Cloud9 Blue will debut their reformed lineup in just a few days on April 22 when they face T1 in the opener match for Stage 2: Challengers 2. If they win, they'll face Andbox Andbox Inactive oderus Chad Miller mummAy Anthony DiPaolo Lear Dayton Akau Jonaaa6 Jonard Penaflor vice Daniel Kim or Sentinels Sentinels North America Rank #4 N4RRATE Marshall Massey bang Sean Bezerra Zellsis Jordan Montemurro zekken Zachary Patrone johnqt Mohamed Amine Ouarid in a match that could automatically place them in the NA Challengers Finals, provided they are twice victorious. In the NA Challengers Finals, they must place in the top two in order to qualify for Stage 2: Masters in Reykjavik.

Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #7 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong mitch Mitch Semago OXY Francis Hoang are now:

Son "xeta" Seon-ho (손선호)
Ricky "floppy" Kemery
Erick "Xeppaa" Bach

Michael "poiz" Possis

The team's staff remains:

Kids on this site are trying to be very serious. If you are not lurking forums from time to time you wont believe how long some of the posts here are. Too bad they are only self important garbage summaries of what casters, analysts and their beloved plat chat podcast's pussies says without any orginal point or some entertaining spin on it. Expect -20 on this post lol

Mitch goes no cap, or Xeta (even though he has been playing good I don't know how good his English is so that might be a reason to drop him).

Xeta has been their second best player in last tournament so I highly doubt they'd drop him. Plus he has a lot of IGL experience so he can probably take over the IGL role.

Am I wrong to think that Mitch is one of the better players on C9? He has consistently good acs on sentinel, IGL's, and has experience. If anything I would drop poiz. Too flashy and doesn't play for the team.

you only say this because of the one time he tried to get an ace... poiz is good and definitely not as greedy as other players, he did really good in most of his games

Yes and also it wouldn't be smart bring in 2 players brand new to the game and trying to integrate them unless they don't really care about Masters and are thinking long term.

Vitality had probably the most successful CS:GO 6-man roster to this day, but Valve's tightening rules forced them to drop Nivera.

Does anyone know if Xeppa and Floppy are good at Val or no? I know they are very skilled so in the long run they'll be really good players but rn are they comparable to tier 2 or tier 1 players?
