On April 21st, the first day of the third week of VCT 2024 Americas Stage 1 took place. Cloud9 secured a victory over the team LOUD with a score of 2-1, achieving three consecutive victories. After the game, Cloud9 captain, Vanity, shared his thoughts on the victory on his page.
Cloud9, led by Vanity, had previously defeated Leviatán and Evil Geniuses. Now, having defeated LOUD, they have achieved three consecutive victories and are in first place in Group Alpha as of April 21st. At VCT Americas 2024 Kickoff, C9 failed to advance from the group stage, but with changes in the lineup, they continue to show excellent results.
After the latest victory, the player expressed his thoughts on the victory on his page. He said, "I felt like crying right now," and noted that this victory means a lot to him. Vanity joined the team during the 2022-23 break but left after the conclusion of LOCK//IN together with yay. Then he joined Shopify Rebellion and actively performed on the Tier2 scene.
I felt like crying right now. I understand that this is just a regular season match, but for the past six months, I have been constantly told that I am not worthy of participating in the Franchise league. This victory means a lot to me. Thanks to everyone who believed.
2-1 @LOUDgg

Almost cried at the end. I know it's just a regular season game but I don't deserve to be in franchising is all I heard the last 6 months and this win means an incredible amount to me. Thank you to everyone who believes in me 💙
It was announced that Vanity would return to Cloud9 this offseason, and now he is playing on the Tier1 stage again. He also shared that over the past six months, he has been criticized, being told that he does not fit the franchise league. However, the team continues to prove its strength, defeating strong teams like LOUD and demonstrating its potential.
