He, along with v1c , was one of the first signings of the off season, being announced just one day after the transfer window opened.

In his short time with Cloud9, Rossy played in two off season tournaments.

It was Rossy's old team in T1 that put an end to their hot streak in the grand finals, where they were bested 3-1 in the series. Throughout the whole tournament, Rossy played lights out. He boasted the best performance of the main event with a 1.34 rating, clearing the next highest rating by a margin of 0.11.

Cloud9 stated in their announcement that Rossy's removal was a result of his in-game leading "not [meshing] with how the team wanted to play," and was a unanimous decision from players and coaches. Rossy has announced that he is now looking for a new team and that he holds “no hard feelings towards anyone apart of C9.”

For mitch, this will be his second stint on Cloud9. His first was as a part of Cloud9's founding roster when they joined the Valorant scene in 2020. He was the longest lasting member of that original roster, and even helped Cloud9 earn their only international qualification, that being to Champions 2021. He was let go after the 2022 season, and moved to compete in NA Challengers as the IGL for Oxygen Esports Oxygen Esports Inactive skuba Logan Jenkins mitch Mitch Semago Verno Andrew Maust Reduxx Yassin Aboulalazm dapr Michael Gulino .
