Cloud 9 recently decided to start a new roster and first signed Alex « ALEX » McMeekin — former Vitality player — as in-game leader. This time it's William « Mezii » Merriman and Özgür « woxic » Eker signed for the team.
Rather rare in the industry, Cloud 9 has decided to be transparent with the recruitment. Much like Alex's, the contractual details of Mezii have been shared publicly. He signed for 3 years and a total salary of 426,000 dollars. C9 also had to pay $ 83,000 transfer to take him from Team GamerLegion. This 21-year-old British player has never played a Major-type tournament and has always played in high school teams.
Turkish Özgür “ woxic ” Eker is barely older. However, he has more experience, since he had the opportunity to shine for a year and a half at mousesports. He rubbed shoulders with the biggest teams in the world and won several tournaments ranked S and A Tiers. But after a big slump, both individual and collective, he found himself on the bench since August.
