It is time to say goodbye to 2 teams that recently disbanded. Players of Epik
Gamer and Cloud 9 have decided that it is best for them to go their separate
ways in order to reach their goals. Both teams made their announcements after
failing to qualify for the Season 3 Championship Series, which seems to be the
main reason for the disbanding.

The long journey of Cloud 9

The team now known as Cloud 9, started out back in early April 2012, as Orbit
Gaming. The team acquired players from HOODSTOMPGRAVESGG. However, they seemed
to be having a rough start, with 'LiNk' and 'Hoodstomp' leaving for CLG.Black a
month after they had joined. 'YoDa' announced he was building a new roster, but
since he could not succeed in filling a new one, he departed as well. It did
look dark for them until May, when they picked up the roster from nFear Gaming
and finally competed in their first event, the MLG Spring Championship, where
they placed 7th.
After this showing they improved a lot and subsequently took part in some
smaller tournaments organized by Solomid and Leaguepedia, placing in a
well-deserved 1st place. Later on they competed in the MLG Summer Championship,
and finished 4th.
A slight roster change happened in the beginning of season 3, with the addition
of 'WildTurtle' as the new AD Carry, and 'Nientonsoh' moving over to AP Mid to
take over ' nubbypoohbear's' now-vacant spot.

On November 11th, Quantic Gaming picked up the roster of Orbit Gaming after a
payment controversy which led to them playing at LoneStar Clash as Reddit
Nation. Sadly, a month later the Quantic organization disbanded and left the 5
players on their own. They formed Team NomNom right after and kept playing
together as a team. Another renaming would take place in January, and they
would be known as Cloud 9 at the qualifiers for Season 3 Championship Series.
Sadly, they announced their final disband right after they failed to qualify.

'Nientonsoh' gave a statement on Twitter the same day they disbanded to inform
everyone about the sad news. Though it seems that they agreed it was the best
to do.

"Thus marks the end of Ex-Orbit, Redditnation, Ex-quantic, Nom-Nom, and finally
cloud 9. It was a great experience and i will miss playing with all of them,
but realistically we have all spent too much time with little to no reward and
have decided to split ways
All of us have made different decisions and are taking different paths, but to
the fans, rest assured, I'm not done with league :)"

The disbanding of EPIK Gamer

Epik Gamer has existed for quite some time now. Everyone remembers them from
their glory days in Season 1, where they were known as one of the top teams.
They started out as HawkshotGG, but the name didn't last long and was changed
within the month. However, in late September of 2010 the team disbanded. It
took about 7 months before the team would reform under the name EPIK, with half
the roster changed.
They roared back into the spotlight. In their first month of existence they
competed at Riot Season 1 NA Qualifiers and placed 2nd. There was no doubt that
this was a strong team. They continued and placed 4th at Riot Season 1
Championship. They were favored by many and went far at each tournament.
However, in March of 2012 a lot of changes happened to the roster. 'Dyrus' and
'Dan Dinh' left the team while 'Aphromoo' and 'Unstoppable' joined to replace
them. Team SoloMid acquired Epik Gamer and they became TSM.evo. Season 2 might
have been a bit hectic for them, but they still managed to place 2nd at several
tournaments. Only a half year after TSM.evo formed, it unfortunately disbanded
again in early September after 'Aphromoo' left and was replaced by 'DontMashMe'.

Luckily for the fans of Epik Gamer, they decided to reform a few weeks before
the Season 3 Championship Series qualifier with success and a new roster in
mind. This new roster was not as successful as previous ones, as it just seemed
to go downhill for them. It was announced on Facebook and Twitter that they
disbanded again after they didn't did not qualify for the Season 3 Championship
Series. So far there is no news regarding the professional future of any of the
players. All that is known is that they will not be playing together anymore.


"Well that was embarrassing sorry to disappoint everyone. Today is a dark day
and the end of epik"

It is very unfortunate when a team decides to disband. What do you think about
all this? Do you agree that it is for the best that they part ways? Leave your

沒想到之前才PO文說Epik Gamer要重生
結果現在就要解散了~~
而Cloud 9 (Ex-Orbit)現在也要解散
當初他們也有跟TPA打練習賽呢
可惜在大賽中打不出好成績
不管實力再好
打不出成績真的就很難讓贊助商支持下去
希望這些選手能再找回自己的一片天!!
