Cloud9 north-american organization is set to make a surprising change to its Valorant roster. A few days ago, they disbanded their CS: GO roster. The financial issues caused by COVID-19 and underperformance in recent tournaments forced them to shut down the team and project.

However, according to Rush B Media, Cloud9 plans to keep Ricky “floppy” Kemery for the C9 Blue Valorant team. Yesterday, the company parted ways with Valorant player Skyler “Relyks” Weaver. To fill the vacant spot left by Relyks, the organization has identified floppy as the potential replacement.

Who Is Ricky “Floppy” Kemery?

Cloud9 New Valorant Player

He is an American professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player. The player joined C9 in the beginning of 2020 with great expectations. However, the team was disbanded halfway through the year and the core members of the C9 team joined the organization known as Extra Salt.

Relyks was the main entry fragger for Cloud9 and used to showcase a high-risk high-reward style of gameplay with the available in-game duelists. Undoubtedly, replacing a player like that is a matter of discomfort for any esports organization.

However, if anyone can fill the shoes of Cloud 9’s entry fragger, it has to be floppy. He is an extremely aggressive player who is capable of picking up entry frags for his team to create an early advantage in any round.

Thanks to his precise aim and immaculate game sense, he used to be one of the best entry fraggers during his CS: GO days. C9 believes he can do the same in Valorant.

Now, they will try to do the same through the Challengers Two tournament. It starts on April 22nd, so C9 needed to find a replacement for Relyks, at least in this short term.
