History on Cloud9

Of the Cloud9 current roster, Reignover has previously played with mid-laner Greyson “Goldenglue” Gilmer during the 2017 NA LCS Summer Split. While originally a Korean player, he speaks fluent English and can help out a lot more because of this.

He joins Head Coach Bok “Reapered” Han-gyu (복한규) and Assistant Coach Jung “RapidStar” Min-sung (정민성). Cloud9 previously achieved a 3-4 placing at Worlds 2018 in a tie with G2 Esports.

During the 2019 LCS Spring Split, the roster tied with Team Liquid for first at 14 wins and 4 losses. The team ended up losing to TSM 3-2, but they still locked in a spot for the 2019 Rift Rivals tournament.

The 2019 LCS Summer Split begins on June 1. How do you think Cloud9 will perform in this new season? Want to keep up with all of the latest League of Legends news and content? Keep track on our League of Legends page!
