Cloud9 Officially Leaves Korea’s Valorant Scene.

After becoming a semifinalist in the prestigious First Strike Korea tournament, Cloud9 surprisingly announced that they had disbanded their roster.

It’s with a heavy heart that we have decided to part ways and dissolve our #C9VALKR roster.@Bazzivlrt, @MUNCHKING_, @OfficialXETA, @Buzz_kr, @KR_Hate, @pavane_90, and @autumnkorea thank you all for your hard work and we wish you all the best moving forward in your careers. ️ pic.twitter.com/Q2LxnBShYi

Cloud9 Korea’s roster was originally created in mid-August, featuring an entirely new roster of former Overwatch, PUBG, and Apex Legends players, along with a roster change in mid-October.

The team has proven to be one of the best in the Korean region, winning the APE TopClass Academy Tournament and placing 4th at the AWEM Asia Invitational.

Recently, they were the only team in the First Strike Korea Regional Final to take 1 game away from the Vision Strikers when they lost in the semifinals.

There is speculation that the team’s release may be caused by Global Esports Regulations and Policies for Valorant , which is meant to have updates regarding organizations having more than one team released in October.

While no such update has yet been released to the public, it might be for the organization. If true, it might seal the same fate for team Valorant Cloud9 White and T1 Korea.

Several players from T1 Korea have announced on Twitter that, while the players are still under contract with the organization, the organization has allowed them to explore options for 2021.
