The esports team were one of the North American organizations selected by Riot Games for its Americas partnered league.

The game developer handed out only five slots to North American organizations. This allowed selected squads to pick out players from the vast number of players in teams that were unable to make the cut.

Cloud9 are undoubtedly making the most of the situation, especially with the number of new players the team are reportedly in the process of adding to their lineup.

The NA organization have their eyes set on a player from OpTic Gaming and Version1, Zellsis, as reported. Negotiations for the previously retired CS:GO player will reportedly be finalized soon, and the NA squad will welcome him into their ranks.

Cloud9 are also set to add former OpTics Gaming player Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker to the team’s roster, and according to reports, the acquisition is currently in its final stages.

Yay is statistically one of the best players in the world and is known for his impressive and consistent top scoreboard performance while with OpTic Gaming. With Zellsis on the team, Cloud9 will be one step closer to achieving their superteam and will likely be a more significant threat in the North American VCT league.

Other Cloud9 players currently on the team’s roster include Anthony “vanity” Malaspina, Nathan ‘leaf’ Orf, and Erick ‘Xeppaa’ Bach.

Zellsis earned the reputation as one of the most prominent initiators in the NA region. Last year, vanity, the current in-game leader of Cloud9, played alongside the formerly retired player in their time with Version1 shortly before his move to the NA team.

Together, the duo helped their team qualify for the VCT Stage Two Masters in Reykjavík, which took place in Iceland. Version1 reached the top six at the end of the tournament.

In August, Zellsis was given to the Sentinels on loan and played with the team during the North American Last Chance qualifier tournament. The squad competed in three games and recorded only one loss in their first match with The Guard.

With Zellsis in the lineup, the Sentinels were able to claim victory over Shopify Rebellion. However, they ultimately lost to 100 Thieves in the losers’ bracket second round, and 100 Thieves went on to win the tournament.

Cloud9’s matchup in the Americas league will be against some of the most popular esports teams. There, Zellsis will most likely have to play against his previous team, the Sentinels, as well as several other prominent squads like 100 Thieves and Evil Geniuses.

The first 2023 VCT event of the year will be the kick-off tournament, and the three-week event will start in February and come to a close in March. It will feature the three leagues, including all 30 partnered Valorant teams in S?o Paulo, Brazil.

Two months ago, there were rumors circulating that the 27-year-old American player would participate in the North American VCT Last Chance Qualifier with Sentinels. And not much longer after that, Sentinels confirmed that he would be participating in their team.

Zellsis is a former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player. On May 10, 2020, he went into retirement so that he could start a career in VALORANT. One month later, on June 24, 2020, he came back to CS:GO. After making the decision to join Orgles5, he went back into retirement on September 27, 2020 in order to take a second attempt at a career in VALORANT.

Zellsis was able to switch over to Sentinels and compete with them because Version1 did not have sufficient points to qualify for the LCQ this year. If the team had made it to the champions, it is very probable that Zellsis would have competed on the team. As of right now, Zellsis will be competing once more under Version1.

Although there was no further information provided regarding his contract or his status, the organization had this to say on the return of Zellsis: “Our goal is to put together the strongest possible roster ahead of any franchising decisions. We’re happy to welcome Jordan back.”

In spite of the fact that franchising is scheduled to take place next year, it is possible to climb back up to tier one competition by first competing in tier-two events. Since it will be possible for teams to play at the highest level in the VCT even after franchising takes place, the majority of teams are making plans to bring back their players or add new members to their squads in the event that they do not make it through franchising.

Zellsis and the renowned streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek were the two players brought onto the Sentinels roster in time for the NA LCQ. Tarik “tarik” Celik, who is widely considered to be VALORANT’s streamer with the most viewers, was signed by the Sentinels on Tuesday. Fans all over the VALORANT community believed that he would only join the squad as a content creator and would be inclined to join the professional roster only if a spot opened up. However, now that there is an opening on the professional roster, they have already been making assumptions that he will take Zellsis’ place.

Since Sentinels’ season is over, there has been no official statement made by the team regarding the exit of Zellsis or who will be joining the team to replace him. They were eliminated from the NA LCQ tournament and will not be taking part in the VALORANT Champions 2022 competition.
