The next Cloud9 superteam will not be on CS:GO but of course on VALORANT, say sources close to the NA team. Nearly two years after the formation of the Colossus, the all-star Counter-Strike team that ultimately failed to shine and was quickly dismantled despite the 6 million contracts investedCloud9 does not despair and wants to renew the experience on VALORANT.
The structure will therefore pile up star contracts and afford that of Yay, currently at OpTic Gaming, according to rumors shared by Dotesports. One of the best VALORANT players in the world right now, Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker would join the roster made up of Nathan “leaf” Orf and Erick “Xeppaa” Bach. The in-game leader will also remain in office, Anthony “Vanity” Malaspina. Recently, curry and mitch both announced they were benchedlooking for a new team, leaving the chair free for this arrival.
The arrival of Cloud9 in the new franchise league of America would be decisive for Yaywhich could continue its good progress in VCT next year with this new international championship, where OpTic has not been invited. With OpTic precisely, Yay finished in the final of the VALORANT Champions 2022, on the podium of the Masters 2 in Copenhagen, and with the title at the Masters 1 in Reykjavik. The 24-year-old finished the year-end competition with stats worthy of a great champion and Cloud9 would strike a blow by pairing him with his current roster, which, despite its great players, missed out on qualifying in VALORANT Champions 2022 narrowly.
