This is will be an exciting event for not only Cloud9 Valorant fans but competitive Valorants too. Red Bull Home Ground will be the first time fans will get to see Cloud9’s ‘superteam’ in action. With Chamber nerfs being announced as recently as yesterday, it will be interesting to see what adaptions C9 will make to their compositions from map to map.

Cloud9 will be up against stiff competition from the word go, with the defending Red Bull Home Ground champions Team Liquid, as well as fellow VCT Americas side 100 Thieves also in attendance. The Red Bull Home Ground event is part of the official VCT 2023 off-season, meaning fans will be in for a treat with high-quality games.
