Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #10 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong Zellsis Jordan Montemurro penny Erik Penny OXY Francis Hoang has bid farewell to their 2025 IGL Mitch "mitch" Semago after one year together.

After being a founding member of Cloud9's Valorant roster in 2020, mitch had the opportunity to rejoin the team for the 2026 season following the team's fallout with their original IGL Rossy . With mitch, Cloud9 found similar levels of success as their past two years, retaining their position as a middle-of-the-pack team, unable to punch above their weight and reach an international event. They came close in the Stage 2 playoffs, where they were one game away from qualifying, but fell to NRG NRG North America Rank #1 brawk Brock Somerhalder mada Adam Pampuch skuba Logan Jenkins Ethan Ethan Arnold , who ended up winning Champions.

In Cloud9's announcement, they state that “an opportunity came during trials,” so they are “going in a different direction for 2026,” indicating that they have already found a replacement IGL.

mitch is the second of Cloud9's 2025 roster that won't be returning, with neT having announced his free agency earlier in the month. As of now, they will retain the core of OXY , Xeppaa , and v1c , with Immi remaining as head coach.
