Cloud9 has announced the signing of veteran support player Vulcan to their League of Legends roster, in their pursuit of a championship-winning squad for the 2024 LCS season. Vulcan previously played with Fudge and Blaber in 2021, but this will be his first time playing with C9’s star AD carry, Berserker.

Berserker is a young but talented player who has taken the league by storm since his debut. He is widely considered to be the best player in his role, a top-three player in the LCS, and the main carry for C9. Vulcan, on the other hand, is a 24-year-old support who is rejoining the organization after spending two years away with Evil Geniuses and FlyQuest. During his time away, he won only a single LCS championship and was unable to reach similar heights since.
Vulcan’s past year with FlyQuest was surprising for LCS fans, as the team’s roster was touted to be one of the best in the region. However, despite starting the 2023 Spring Split with a formidable seven-game win streak, they quickly spiraled into mediocrity for the rest of the year. The team’s fall-off was unexpected, leading to sweeping roster changes for the organization.

With Vulcan getting a fresh start in a familiar home, C9 fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the team’s starting mid laner, reportedly former Evil Geniuses mid lane phenom Jojopyun. If Jojopyun joins, this storied organization could be looking at future LCS champions in blue and white jerseys.

Overall, Cloud9’s signing of Vulcan and potential addition of Jojopyun signals their commitment to building a championship-winning team for the 2024 LCS season. With Berserker as the main carry and Vulcan as a veteran support player, C9’s bottom lane duo looks promising. However, the success of the team will ultimately depend on the performance of all its players, as well as the strength of their opponents in the LCS.
