After having won North America the Battle of the Atlantic a few weeks ago, Cloud 9 HyperX have claimed their prize in the shape of the top performing 5v5 ranked team in Europe.
Consisting of names like former Gambit Gaming support Erih 'Voidle' Sommermann and the 4th place holder on the challenger ladder Tritin 'k0u' Lam, it would seem like Cloud 9 might have their sights on becoming the second team in the West to field a team on either side of the Atlantic.
Along with the full lineup, the organisation has also recruited a manager and an analyst to help aid their attempt at global domination.
Cloud 9 HyperX EU consists of:
- Andrei 'Odoamne' Pascu - Top Lane
- Tritin 'k0u' Lam - Jungle
- Fabian 'Febiven' Diepstraten - Mid Lane
- Petter 'Hjärnan' Freyschuss - AD Carry
- Erih 'Voidle' Sommermann - Support
- Robin 'Jed' Jedhammar - Manager
- Charlie 'Charlie' Lipsie - Analyst
