Cloud9 partnered with One Piece for a two-part anime collaboration that produced limited edition jerseys and apparel sold exclusively at the LCS Summer Finals booth. The second collection dropped September 12, 2024, following an initial release earlier that year. The tweet announcing Collection 2 garnered nearly 600 likes, and the event-exclusive jerseys generated long lines at the C9 booth.
Collection 2
The C9 x One Piece Collection 2 features:
- Limited edition jerseys with One Piece character art integrated into Cloud9’s blue design language
- Event-exclusive items — only available at the LCS Summer Finals booth
- Parts of Collection 2 sold alongside standard merch at the C9 booth
The event-exclusive nature of the One Piece jerseys makes them among the rarest Cloud9 merchandise pieces, as they were only available to fans who physically attended the LCS Summer Finals.
One Piece: The Perfect Anime Partner
One Piece is the world’s best-selling manga series with over 500 million copies sold, and its themes of adventure, friendship, and pursuing dreams resonate directly with competitive gaming culture. The Straw Hat Pirates’ crew dynamic mirrors esports team chemistry, making the crossover thematically natural rather than forced.
Cloud9’s Growing Anime Strategy
The One Piece collab positions Cloud9 in the anime-esports crossover space alongside:
- Team Liquid — Naruto (2023), Demon Slayer (2024)
- Sentinels — Haikyu!! (2025)
- 100 Thieves — Demon Slayer (2025)
- Cloud9 — One Piece (2024)
Cloud9 chose a different IP than their competitors, differentiating their offering in a crowded anime collab market.
