Cloud9 Challengers, the academy team for Cloud9 League of Legends, was built upon the values of determination, peak performance, and teamwork. Rejoining the Academy scene in 2018, the Cloud9 Challengers division sought to develop and nurture budding talent, with many former players earning a spot on LCS teams. Cloud9 Challengers quickly established itself as a dominant force in Academy play, most recently securing the NACL 2023 Spring Championship title.
