Jensen Leaves Cloud9 for Team Liquid

A shock announcement today for League of Legends fans, with the revelation that Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen will be leaving Cloud9 and joining Team Liquid for the 2019 season. Jensen joined Cloud9 back in 2015 and has since helped take the organization to some of their most successful finishes in both the NA LCS and international tournaments ever. Despite a rough 2018 that saw Jensen sitting out some matches, many fans still believe that when he is at his best, he is the best in the west, a tag he has battled hard to earn through his consistent gameplay.

“Cloud9 and namely Jack have been no less than family to me over the past years, but I am writing this statement to let you know that from now on, I will be playing for Team Liquid. I am changing things because I feel that will give me the best chance of achieving my goal, to become the very best version of myself,” Wrote Jensen in his statement to the fans. “I have nothing but respect and gratitude for Cloud9, after all they gave me the opportunity to meet my fans, you guys really keep me going. Cloud9 and I may be separating ways in the LCS, but one thing is certain, family really is forever.”

“Jensen is family to everyone here at the organization and to say we’re grateful for what he has helped us achieve feels too underwhelming. This house won’t be the same, this team won’t be the same, but he knows he has lifelong friends and family here for him and it has been a gift getting to work with him. We wish him nothing but the best and eagerly await our paths crossing once more,” wrote Jack Etienne, Cloud9 CEO & Owner in their official statement.
