C9 suffer shocking upset in first VALORANT match with yay at Red Bull Home Ground

Before the 2023 VALORANT Champions Tour begins, numerous partnered teams have traveled to Manchester for the Red Bull Home Ground event, providing a unique stage for the Cloud9 debut of one of the game’s biggest stars in Jacob “yay” Whiteaker.

C9’s official debut today got off to a rocky start, falling in overtime to FOKUS on Ascent. In his first game with his new team, yay was uncharacteristically quiet, sitting at the bottom of the scoreboard with a -4 K/D and having lost most of his opening duels while on Jett. He was outshined on Jett by FOKUS’s JUGi, one of the breakout names from EMEA this past year.
