Cloud9 (commonly abbreviated to C9) is an American esports organization currently fielding teams in Hearthstone, League of Legends, Smite, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Dota 2, Rainbow Six: Siege, Overwatch, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It also manages the London Spitfire spot in the Overwatch League.

The organization has its roots in a small North American League of Legends team founded in 2013 which failed to qualify for LCS. Seeing its potential, Jack Etienne, the current CEO, picked the squad up under the newly-founded Cloud9 brand. Since then, it has grown exponentially over the years and eventually expanded into other esports titles, becoming one of the most legendary and well-known organizations worldwide.

History [ edit ]

Originally acquired from compLexity Gaming, Cloud9's core Counter-Strike squad formerly consisted of most of the players originally of the compLexity team, which included shroud, SEMPHIS, Hiko, n0thing, and sgares. Jack Etienne, the owner of Cloud9, stated that he caught glimpse of the CS:GO scene at EMS One: Katowice 2014 and knew he wanted to hold a CS:GO team after seeing that event and eventually took up the opportunity to sign the former compLexity players, who placed in the 5-8 slot at the major. In 2018, Cloud9 went on an incredible underdog journey at ELEAGUE Boston 2018, becoming the first (and currently only) North American team to win a major championship.
