Supporters of Cloud9, whose favorite League of Legends squad has gotten off to a shaky start during the 2022 LCS Summer Split, will be relieved to learn that their favorite team will be participating in full force beginning with the second week of the season.
According to an announcement made by the organization, Kim “Berserker” Min-cheol, a promising AD carry potential, and Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen, an experienced support player, will officially be entering the team’s main lineup. Bottom lane player Ibrahim “Fudge” Allami joins All-Star jungler Robert “Blaber” Huang, seasoned mid laner Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen, and renowned top laner Ibrahim “Fudge” Allami in C9’s presently full powerhouse roster.
C9 had a terrible start to the season, losing all 3 of their matches during the first week of the League of Legends Championship Series despite getting replacements for both Berserker and Zven. Though C9 did not elaborate on the details of each player’s condition, they stated that the two players had misplaced passports and COVID issues, which caused them to be left out of the initial roster. Fudge told reports that he anticipated the two players would join the squad by next week. However, Fudge and the entire team are in luck since the schedule for their arrival has been shifted ahead.
According to the league statistics of Oracle’s Elixir, Cloud9 had the third-lowest estimated average gold disparity in the league at 15 minutes, with Mitchell “Destiny” Shaw and Calvin “k1ng” Truong in the bottom lane. They also had the second-lowest KDA of all the LCS squads. It is fair to say that they have not appeared to be very synchronized, which is likely because they have not worked much with one another.
This week, the club’s Summer Split roster will put their skills over Team Dignitas and 100 Thieves in an effort to eventually get their quest for the 2022 World Championship off the ground.
