Daniel “vice” Kim is set to be Cloud9’s newest fifth prior to BLAST Pro Series Miami in April. He’ll be filling the spot on the lineup that Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro vacated three weeks ago. Zellsis is now playing for Swole Patrol.

Vice is known for his time on Rogue Gaming as a support player for other NA stars like Spencer “Hiko” Martin and Hunter “SicK” Mims. He’s leaving Rogue due to evident roster instability, which was kick-started by the imminent departures of Danish stars Mathias “MSL” Lauridsen and Nikolaj “niko” Kristensen.

Yesterday, it was also made public that Ronald “Rambo” Kim would be taking on the head coach role from Soham “valens” Chowdhury, who’s now the head of data science for the organization.
