Cloud9 Overhauls Roster and Coaching Staff with New Signings and Position Changes

Cloud9 makes significant waves in the NA League of Legends scene with extensive changes to their roster and coaching staff. Most especially, Loki has joined as the new Mid Laner, signaling a fresh direction for the team in the mid lane. Alongside him, Tactical, previously known for his time with Team Liquid, signs on as the Bot Laner, strengthening C9's firepower.

Not limited to players, C9 also made strategic changes to their coaching lineup. Arrow steps in as an Assistant Coach, while well-known figure YamatoCannon also joins as another Assistant Coach. The coaching team sees IWDominate making a move from Strategic Coach to Head Coach, showcasing C9's focus on strategic depth. Veigar v2 transitions from Position & Strategic Coach to Assistant Coach, emphasizing the team's internal promotions.

On the exit front, Inero departs from his role as Head Coach, which makes room for these incoming changes. These alterations reflect Cloud9's ambitions to climb to the top of the LCS standings once more.

Meanwhile, SR also makes a move by securing Zeyzal as their Support. Zeyzal’s contract, updated in the GCD to last until November 14, 2026, indicates SR's commitment to stable roster building.

With these moves, Cloud9 aims to revitalize its squad and capitalize on its new talent and strategic coaching resources. SR, though less active on the front of coaching changes, focuses on strengthening its key positions with experienced players.
