In the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), one name resonates with unmatched prowess—Blaber, the North American jungler. Cloud9, a prominent name in the LCS, have elevated their dominance by securing a three-year contract extension with the 23-year-old star.

Cloud9 Extends Blaber’s Contract For Three Years

Blaber's journey with Cloud9 commenced in 2017 when he joined as a substitute for the organization's Academy squad. Since then, his ascent has been nothing short of legendary, solidifying his status not just as one of the most talented North American players but as a beacon of excellence in the broader Western scene.

This pivotal re-signing comes on the heels of a tumultuous 2023 for Cloud9. Despite the team's roller coaster performance, C9 is resolute in anchoring its future victories to Blaber's exceptional skill set. The three-year deal inked today ensures his allegiance to Cloud9 until 2026, fortifying the team's arsenal with a player who boasts an impressive track record.

Blaber's illustrious career includes four LCS championships, dual MVP awards, the 2018 Rookie of the Split honor, and four first-team All-Pro recognitions. Notably, he has steered C9 through the challenging waters of the World Championship, reaching the semifinals in 2018. Even as the dynamics of the team shift with players like Zven entering free agency and EMENES retiring, Blaber stands as the unwavering cornerstone in one of the game's most pivotal roles.

While the conclusion of this year might not have met the expectations of die-hard C9 fans, Blaber's supremacy in the jungle remains unchallenged. With the star jungler secured, Cloud9's strategic focus now shifts to assembling a formidable supporting cast. Speculation abounds in the offseason, with rumors swirling around potential additions like former FlyQuest support Vulcan and the prodigious former Evil Geniuses mid-lane talent, Jojopyun.
