Sources: Cloud9 Looking to Rebuild After Worst Season in CDL History
Cloud9 New York is hoping to put a rough chapter behind them. The organization endured a difficult season, marked by mid-season budget cuts that left the team fielding a full roster of Challengers players while operating with the lowest budget in CDL history. Now, sources indicate Cloud9 is ready to compete again, with the team's budget expected to rise to a level competitive with teams like G2 Minnesota and Vancouver Surge.

One name of interest for Cloud9 is former Toronto KOI player Jamie "Insight" Craven, who is reportedly looking for a fresh start after a disappointing season with Toronto and is eager to build something new elsewhere.
Sources also indicate Cloud9 is exploring a move for the OMiT EU duo of DK and Ethan. This pairing would mark a significant step up in talent for a roster that spent the past season built almost entirely around Challengers-level players.
