There have only been two games so far, but Korean commenters following the LCS have a lot of praise for Cloud9’s new midlaner.
Over the offseason, there was a bit of a stir because reports came out that LCK team FearX (formerly Liiv SANDBOX) had made an offer to Jojopyun. However, in the end, Cloud9 obviously signed him instead.
Anyone talking about the LCS this split would have to mention the strongest teams, and that includes Cloud9.
Heaps of Praises
Overall, very positive comments about both Jojopyun and Cloud9. Here are some of them. 👇
Jojopyun is very good.
[His great play] is the reason why they made him a sincere offer.
I think Jojopyun is the best amongst Western mids, even counting those in the LEC.
Talent like this in the NA.
He’s on another level.
If He Went to Worlds Last Year…
Some commentators wonder if he could’ve gotten even better… Here’s a brief exchange.
It’s a shame he didn’t play in international tournaments last year.
Reply to above: If he went to Worlds, he would’ve met many pros in Korean solo queue, gained more experience, and stepped up even more.

Bonus: Cloud9 is Looking Great
It’s been said from several threads that the two teams to look out for are Cloud9 and NRG. But there’s a lot more talk about Cloud9.
The general idea is that they’re unstoppable right now. A two game sample size, but it seems like even on Reddit and X, people are saying the same thing.
