As part of recent efforts to expand their brand to the Challenger scene, Cloud 9 has picked up a second North American team in the promising squad formerly known as The Walking Zed.
As Cloud 9’s second North American team, the new squad will play under the tag of “Cloud 9 Tempest” .The announcement comes only a few weeks after Cloud 9 also acquired a European Challenger squad, which is now known as “Cloud 9 Eclipse”.
The Walking Zed were one of the top Challenger tier teams during the off season, performing well in the Promotion Tournament against Team Coast but eventually falling 2-3 in a fight to the finish. The team is currently participating in the Coke Zero Challenger Series and will make their debut under the Cloud 9 name on Saturday against “Skyline”.

Gabriel “Yazuki” Ng (Top)
