Cloud9 releases its Apex Legends roster a month into new ALGS season

Esports organisation Cloud9 has released its North American Apex Legends roster just a few weeks after the 2023 Apex Legends Global Series Pro League began.

Announced through a series of TwitLonger posts by its players Paris 'StayNauhgty' Gouzoulis, Zach 'Zach' Mazer, and Aidan 'rocker' Grodin, Cloud9 will be dropping its support for the trio after they mutually agreed to terminate their contracts. All three are now unrestricted free agents.

According to Zach and StayNaughty's posts, the current economic situation has seen some of Cloud9's sponsors "cut back" on spending and support, which in turn has led to a lack of funding for the Apex Legends division of the organisation. Zach also says that "I feel 100% confident [that] without org problems we would be sticking together". This is despite a rocky start to Year 3 of the ALGS performance-wise, which sees the team sitting dangerously close to the Pro League relegation zone in the North America region.
