3. Cloud9
When financial troubles left Quantic Gaming’s League of Legends team without a sponsor, the players began competing under the name Team NomNom – the group that would eventually call themselves Cloud9.
While North American eSports organization Cloud9 is fairly young, it’s done exceptionally well in tournaments. It has attained the coveted first place in many events, such as the 2013 MLG Winter Championship and the 2014 NA LCS Spring Playoffs. In the 2015 Season North America Regional Finals, Cloud9 defeated Team Liquid to snatch the top spot.
After acquiring The Walking Zed’s roster, Cloud9 founded North American Challenger team Cloud9 Tempest in January 2014. Tempest would proceed to win first place in League One North American Cup Weeks 1 to 9.
Cloud9 has teams in several games, from League of Legends to Super Smash Bros.
Founding members Nientonsoh, Yazuki, and Wild Turtle have since left the team, but LemonNation and Hai are still active, playing alongside newcomers such as top players Balls, Meteos, and Sneaky. They have collected more than $2.5 million in prize money, and have played over 210 tournaments. One of the best eSports teams in existence!
