Cloud9 HyperX hat mit DogeHouse eines der ältesten Hearthstone-Teams übernommen. So werden in Zukunft Jan ‚Ek0p‘ Palys und Marcin ‚Gnimsh‘ Filipowicz für die nordamerikanische Organisation auflaufen. Daniel ‚Artosis‘ Stemkoski wird dagegen nicht zu Cloud9 wechseln.
Außerdem wurden noch Cong ‚StrifeCro‘ Shu, Aleksandr ‚Kolento‘ Malsh verpflichtet. Die beiden warten zwar nicht im Lineup von DogeHouse, haben das Team aber als Gastspieler im Gentlemen Cup unterstützt. Vervollständigen wird das Team Rumay ‚Hafu‘ Wang, welche bei keinem Team unter Vertrag stand.
Being on a professional team was always one of my dreams. When we created Doge House, we always knew that it was just a matter of time till we join a serious organization. We were building our brand, but it’s hard being on your own. Cloud9 gives us an opportunity to focus on playing the game we love and improve at it. Personally I’m super excited about the future with Cloud9. Hearthstone is growing with every day and there is so many tournaments that provide exposure and great challenge. I’m also very happy about the direction where Blizzard is taking the game in regards to esports and I’m sure that only good things will happen with so much positive energy coming from all of those involved.

Hearthstone has been growing exponentially and it wasn’t easy finding the right group of players to pick up. After talking with Gnimsh and his team, it was clear that him and his Hearthstone team would be a perfect fit for Cloud9.
