Cloud9 reportedly sign runi and moose to replace jakee and wippie
After announcing the Wippie departure, Cloud9 have decided to bench Jake “jakee” Anderson ahead of VCT Americas League. As replacements, they have reportedly signed Dylan “runi” Cade and Caleb “moose” Jayne.
We previously covered Cloud9’s decision to make changes before the split began. Despite the roster’s immense talents, they struggled and roster change was the way to go. Jakee and Wippie did not perform up to the mark and it makes sense to replace them.
The first replacement, runi, played for the Cloud9 roster in 2023. He IGL’d the squad and helped them secure number 2 during the 2023 Americas regular season. But in the classic Cloud9 fashion, they choked in the playoffs and the LCQ missed out on international competition.
Moose played Tier 2 NA in 2023 and put some good numbers on the Shopify Rebellion roster and qualified for the stage 2 playoffs but were eliminated after a loss to G2 Esports and M80.
He qualified for 2024 NA VCL with YFP gaming and concluded the tournament with a solid performance.
The new Cloud9 Valorant roster is
- Anthony “Vanity” Malaspina
- Erick “Xeppa” Bach
- Francis “OXY” Hoang
- Dylan “runi” Cade
- Caleb “moose” Jayne
- Iam “Immi” Harding (Head Coach)
With runi and moose, the new Cloud9 will be a completely new roster. They will also look for a new Assistant coach before the Split starts.
