His greatest achievement with Cloud9 was winning the C9’s first LCS championship since 2014.
The team dominated the NA Spring Split where they lost only one game in the entire Split and one game in the playoffs.
But the success went down in Summer Split even though a strong start and finished 4th to miss out on world’s for the first time.
Analysts believed that the team couldn’t adapt to the current meta.
The team also announced they are going to continue with their roster for 2021.
Now C9 has a big task in hand to find a new head coach.
Reapered also announced that his military issue has been resolved and now is open to join teams.
And don’t get me wrong i am interested in both business perspective jobs and head coach !
