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.

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
