Cloud 9 has been a regular feature in the esports scene since its glory days in CS: GO. Since then, the organization has expanded into games such as Valorant, Dota 2, Rainbow Six Siege, and more.
It may be confusing to refer to them as the Cloud9 NA Valorant team, because it has two divisions known as Cloud9 Blue And Cloud9 White. While Cloud9 Blue consists of male players, Cloud 9 White is an all-female line-up.
Valorant has gotten a lot of attention across the world since it was released last year. Cloud9 took the decision to create a Valorant roster of female professional players to show that games are not just for boys.
