While Dexerto’s DeKay originally broke the news that Cloud9 and Borg were in talks, the signing was not officially announced until this afternoon. CajunB previously played for OpTic Gaming before leaving at the end of his contract. Borg was released at the end of March, with signs pointing to OpTic neglecting to offer him another contract.
