Current Major champions Cloud9 has been officially confirmed on the IEM Sydney team list.

Shortly after mousesports' invitation a couple of days ago, ESL announced the North American side as the fifth team to compete at the $250,000 Australian event on May 1-6.

Cloud9 will be looking to improve on their results following a few disappointing exits recently at StarSeries i-League Season 4, IEM Katowice, and WESG World Finals.

Cloud9 will travel to IEM Sydney in early May

IEM Sydney will be the eighth event in consideration for the Intel Grand Slam, which will award a whopping $1 million prize to the first team that wins four out of ten premier events hosted by ESL and DreamHack.
