Veteran esports player Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro is returning to Cloud9’s VALORANT roster for an unprecedented third time, bringing with him recent championship titles from his tenure with Sentinels.
Montemurro, known as “Zellsis,” rejoins the North American organization after a successful nearly two-year period with Sentinels, where he secured both a Masters title and an Americas Kickoff championship. His impressive track record adds significant experience to Cloud9’s competitive lineup.
Cloud9 announced the return of “Zellsis” alongside the addition of Erik “penny” Penny, finalizing its VALORANT roster. The organization made the dual announcement recently.
This marks Montemurro’s third tenure with Cloud9. His first engagement with the organization was in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, lasting four months from December 2018 to March 2019.
He later rejoined Cloud9 for a second time, playing VALORANT from October 2022 to September 2023. His frequent returns underscore a strong connection with the esports powerhouse.
The updated Cloud9 VALORANT roster now includes Erick “Xeppaa” Bach, Francis “OXY” Hoang, Victor “v1c” Truong, Erik “penny” Penny, and Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro.
