The organization has already made a slew of roster changes this season, most recently bringing Victor "v1c" Truong back into the lineup in place of Jaden "Notexxd" Anderson. Cloud9 also added Cameron "FireBallOps" Tomaselli and Jack "Jackk" Foote to the roster, replacing Erick "Xeppaa" Bach and Erik "penny" Penny.

Immi joined Cloud9 at the end of 2023 and spent nearly three seasons as Head Coach. Under his leadership, the organization fell short of expectations, failing to qualify for an international event throughout his tenure. Cloud9's best result remains a fourth-place finish in Stage 2 of the 2025 VCT season. After placing sixth at Kickoff this year, results declined further, prompting the earlier roster moves before the coaching change.

Cloud9 signed Veer as an Assistant Coach ahead of Stage 1 and briefly stepped into the squad as a player during the EWC Americas Qualifier, replacing Xeppaa.
