Summit was recently crowned the 2022 LCS Spring MVP, while Isles only joined the team last November.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028It is yet to be announced where the three players are headed following their departure from Cloud9, with the residency status of both Isles and Summit potentially at stake.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028The founder and CEO of Cloud9, Jack Etienne, revealed that the players were offered as free transfers to the other LCS teams. It is as yet unknown to the public if any of the other LCS teams have accepted the offer. <\/p>\n<p>This statement came after Summit recently revealed that he wanted to join TSM next season but the move was blocked. Although the 23-year-old didn\u2019t go into detail about how the deal was prevented or which team blocked the deal, fans are led to believe that Cloud9 was behind the deal falling through.\u2028\u2028<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Summit: &quot;When I left C9, the team&#39;s CEO took really good care of me. After the end of Spring, it&#39;s the team that terminated the contract, it wasn&#39;t under mutual agreement, right? So they were quite considerate to me. Yeah, because they were feeling sorry or for whatever reason.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yfmplrbf7T\">pic.twitter.com\/Yfmplrbf7T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kevin Kim (@KevinKimLoL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevinKimLoL\/status\/1523347510135123969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 8, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>\u2028\u2028In response to a tweet speculating that Etienne had set the buyout too high for Summit, leading TSM to back out on the deal, the Cloud9 boss responded: \u201cZero buyout asked for Summit, Isles, or Winsome.

He stated that he suspected something must have happened on the other team&#8217;s side. <\/p>\n<p>\u2028According to some sources, Summit also talked about making a return to the LCK and stated he would like that but he isn\u2019t sure there\u2019s a spot left for him at the moment. The 23-year-old top laner has since had talks with Misfits Gaming in the LEC, although it is unknown whether an agreement has been reached between him and the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028Cloud9 have not officially confirmed who will be joining their principal roster in the top and support spots after the departure of Summit, Winsome, and Isles. It is still unclear whether any of the LCS teams have accepted the $0 buyout offer and where these three players will end up.\u2028<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2028After one of the most controversial splits in the LCS, Cloud9 have decided to part ways with players &#8211; including the reigning MVP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":20076,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[172,4,2020,2019,261,24,2018],"class_list":["post-20075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cloud9","tag-featured","tag-jonah-isles-rosario","tag-kim-winsome-dong-keon","tag-lcs","tag-league-of-legends","tag-park-summit-woo-tae"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20075"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20075"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20079,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20075\/revisions\/20079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
