Cloud9 
has added its first-ever Brazilian team with the announcement that it has signed an Apex Legends roster from the country.
The roster of Nino “ninexT” Pavolini, Gabriel “isno” Ceregatto, and Vinícius “noted” Mancinni is actually Cloud9’s second active Apex Legends team, as the organization previously signed a North American squad in March.
In February, Cloud9 signed Brazilian League of Legends player and streamer Flávio “Jukes” Fernandes. Lucas Braga is listed as Cloud9’s manager for both Fernandes and the country as a whole.
Cloud9 is the latest organization to make a push in Brazil. Last year, Immortals acquired the defunct Made in Brazil (MiBR) brand along with a new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) roster and sponsors. Luminosity Gaming
also has a Brazilian CS:GO team and previously had a PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS team from the region, while OpTic Gaming briefly had a women’s CS:GO team last fall.
