Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen is poised to make a comeback to Cloud9 for the 2025 League of Legends season, as reported by Sheep Esports’ Brieuc “LEC Wooloo.” This announcement follows the departure of star AD carry Kim “Berserker” Min-cheol, marking an exciting new chapter for both Zven and the team.
A Fan Favorite Returns
Zven’s history with Cloud9 is nothing short of remarkable. Having previously spent four years with the organization from 2019 to 2023, he has established himself as a fan favorite.
During his initial tenure, Zven played a pivotal role in the team’s success, leading Cloud9 to two LCS championships. His adaptability and willingness to take on various roles for the betterment of the team have been hallmarks of his career.
- Key Achievements with Cloud9:
- Two-time LCS Champion
- First player to win titles in both the LEC and LCS
- Transitioned from AD carry to support to accommodate roster changes
- Contributed to one of the most formidable bot lanes in the LCS alongside Berserker
Zven’s ability to thrive in multiple roles highlights his versatility and commitment to team success, making his return particularly exciting for Cloud9 fans.
Cloud9’s Path Forward
After a disappointing end to the previous season, culminating in a loss to 100 Thieves and missing out on the 2024 World Championship, Cloud9 is eager to regroup. Alongside Zven’s return, the team has made other roster adjustments, including the release of mid-laner Joseph “Jojopyun” Pyun due to repeated attendance issues.
As Cloud9 rebuilds, Zven’s experience and proven track record could serve as a stabilizing force for the team. However, questions remain about how they will further fill out the roster around him and address their shortcomings from the past season.
- Challenges Ahead:
- How will Cloud9 complement Zven’s playstyle with new teammates?
- Can the team overcome its previous performance struggles?
- Will Zven’s leadership help guide the team back to the top?
Conclusion
Zven’s return to Cloud9 represents not just a reunion with a familiar team but also an opportunity for rejuvenation and renewed ambition. With his experience and determination, fans have reasons to be hopeful as Cloud9 aims to reclaim its former glory in the competitive League of Legends scene.
