One of the best Junglers in LCS, Robert "Blaber" Huang has renewed his contract with Cloud9 for three more years. With Cloud9, Blaber has won two league MVPs and multiple LCS titles.

Blaber started his League journey with Wildcard Gaming Blue in 2017. The team competed in 2017 NA CS Open qualifiers but failed to qualify for the main event. His professional career kicked off during the 2017 Scouting Grounds event, when Cloud9 drafted Blaber to their academy team.

He made his debut with Cloud9 Academy in 2018 NA Academy Summer Split. In the tournament, C9 academy and Blaber secured 16 out of the 18 games and won the split defeating CLG Academy 3-1.

On the basis of his strong performance, Blaber played for the main team for NA LCS Summer 2018. At the event, they lost to Team Liquid in the final but qualified for Worlds 2018 via NA LCS Regional Finals 2018.

At the Worlds 2018, Blaber shared his spot with Dennis "Svenskeren" Johnsen. C9 placed 3rd-4th at the event. In 2019, Blaber competed in the C9 Academy. He returned to the C9 main roster for Worlds 2019 where he shared the role with Svenskeren.

For Spring 2020, Cloud9 rebuilt the roster with Blaber permanently replacing Svenskeren. Since the addition, Cloud9 has won four LCS titles, Blaber was named MVP for two of them. In the past year, C9 won the LCS Spring 2023, placed second at LCS Summer 2023.

Cloud9 also managed to place 5th-6th at MSI 2023. They bailed out of the Worlds 2023 Swiss Stage.
