Cloud9 Esports, Inc. is a North American professional esports organization founded in 2013 by Jack and Paullie Etienne and headquartered in Santa Monica, California. It fields competitive rosters across League of Legends, VALORANT, VALORANT Game Changers, Call of Duty and Rainbow Six, and its trophy case includes the inaugural Overwatch World Championship, the 2018 Rocket League World Championship, multiple LCS titles and a Counter-Strike Major. Beyond competition it runs Club9 (a membership and fan community at club9.cloud9.gg), an official Shopify merchandise store at store.cloud9.gg, and a content and creator division. Cloud9 publishes no developer program and no OpenAPI, but its public web estate is machine-readable: cloud9.gg runs on WordPress and serves an anonymous, unauthenticated WordPress REST API at /wp-json/ covering news posts, pages, media and the Cloud9-specific players, teams, achievement and case-study content types, alongside a remote Model Context Protocol server advertised through RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 discovery metadata.
