Cloud9 Officially announced Signing Perkz from G2 Esports

By: Hypron|| Nov 21, 2020

North American organization Cloud9 confirmed the purchase of former G2 Esports mid and bot laner Perkz today. He’ll replace Nisqy, who’s reportedly heading to Fnatic. Perkz will be replaced in G2’s bot lane by Rekkles, one of the exceptional ADCs in Europe, at the same time as Caps retains his position in the mid lane.

As one of Europe’s greatest LoL players ever, Perkz was G2’s longest-serving player but appeared destined to move on as he sought a go back to his desired role withinside the mid lane. Earlier in November, reports suggested that Cloud9 paid up for the $5 million buyouts and would be signing Perkz while the market opened on November 16. The team turned into particularly complimentary of Perkz in their announcement, ensuring fans understand precisely how prestigious this signing is (and why he cost a lot to acquire): “We are bringing the most accomplished and most impactful Western player in the history of League of Legends to C9LoL.”

As for their new star’s expectations for the team and himself, he was also very clear about what a huge deal this must be: “I’m not coming here to retire. I’m coming here to dominate and absolutely demoralize my opponents and to take this region higher than it’s ever been before. So, watch me.”

Having performed withinside the LEC for his whole career, Perkz comes with a stacked mantle, as he led G2 Esports to 8 European championships during his time there. From rookie awards to All-Pro nods and an IEM MVP selection, the veteran midlaner is as established a Western star as can be, and he hopes to return to that success in his first North American foray.

It turned into a peculiar finale to his time with G2 Esports, as Perkz was believed to have wanted the mid role to himself, but the presence of Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winther made that all but impossible. Instead, the two parties opted to part ways (amicably, if Perkz and team owner Carlos ‘ocelote’ Santiago are to be believed), with G2 bringing in the famed Rekkles and Perkz getting to play the role he prefers on Cloud9.

So far, Perkz appears to be as enthusiastic about the change in the scenery as C9 fans are. In a follow-up to his announcement tweet, the star made an ambitious challenge to himself and his team: “2021 may be the first year NA places higher than EU.”

League fans will get their first look at Perkz in a C9 jersey next year in the LCS.
