Cloud9 Challenger was a North American Challenger team. It is not to be confused with Cloud9 Tempest.
History[]
Cloud9 Challenger was announced as a new team being built by parent organization Cloud9 in August 2015, to be built around former Cloud9 starting jungler Meteos, after he was replaced on the main roster by Hai.[1] The team held open tryouts, and in October, KEITHMCBRIEF was announced as their AD carry.[2] Starting in early November 2015, C9C participated in the HTC Ascension tournament. After making it through the group stage, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals and disbanded.
