The offlaner of Gaimin Gladiators was spotted wearing a Cloud9 jersey, but there's a catch

Markus "Ace" Helligard, the offlaner for Gaimin Gladiators, appeared in his wife’s Instagram story wearing a Cloud9 jersey. This was seen as confirmation of the rumors that GG's roster might be transferring to Cloud9. However, an interesting detail has emerged.

Fans immediately took this as a clear hint of Gaimin Gladiators potential move, as there had been insider reports suggesting that Cloud9 was interested in acquiring the entire GG roster.

However, an intriguing nuance surfaced – Ace has owned this jersey for at least a year. In August 2023, he was also spotted wearing the same Cloud9 jersey in another one of his wife’s stories. Moreover, it’s possible that this jersey is simply part of his casual home attire, given that Ace played for Cloud9 twice in 2017.
