Cloud 9 has been a part of the Dota 2 scene since 2014, experiencing numerous team changes and disbandments, including a complete disbandment in 2015 and another in 2020 due to pandemic-related issues.

Despite achieving a top 6 finish at The International 2024, the future of Cloud 9's Dota 2 involvement remains uncertain, as the organization has a history of leaving the scene when they feel they cannot compete for titles.

Currently, Cloud 9 is in the process of disbanding its entire Dota 2 team, with only Dzmitry 'Fishman' Palishchuk remaining on the roster.

Notable departures include Alimzhan 'watson' Islambekov, who signed with Gaimin Gladiators, and Vladislav 'Kataomi' Semenov, who joined BetBoom Team.

As a result of these changes, Cloud 9 will not participate in the upcoming DreamLeague Season 24 or the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 tournament.

Following their performance at TI13, Cloud 9 faced significant roster changes, losing three key players in quick succession.

Fishman remains uncertain about his future with Cloud 9, with speculation that he may leave or help form a new team.

Cloud 9's return to the Dota 2 scene in 2023, when they acquired the Entity roster, was marked by a strong performance, but the current disbandment raises questions about their long-term commitment.

The organization announced the departure of mid laner Volodymyr 'No[o]ne-' Minenko on October 12, followed by the farewell to Dmitry 'DM' Dorokhin on October 14.

Cloud 9 expressed appreciation for both players through social media, highlighting their contributions and potential futures.

Looking ahead, future Dota 2 events include a $1 million tournament hosted by BLAST in Copenhagen next month and ESL One Bangkok 2024 in December, featuring 12 teams.

No[o]ne is set to compete in DreamLeague Season 24 later this month with the BandaNoon stack after qualifying through Eastern European brackets.
