Cloud9 is working with Theta Network to roll out a new AI-driven experience aimed at reshaping how fans engage with esports. The project centers around a virtual assistant named Nimbus, which will combine real-time data with interactive features for fans.
Good to know
Cloud9 is teaming up with Theta Network to create Nimbus, a conversational AI tool built to support fans with live esports insights and a more personal experience. The chatbot will run on Theta’s distributed infrastructure, using more than 30,000 GPU nodes through the Theta Edge Network.
Fans will be able to use Nimbus to get live match stats, team updates, and game data as events unfold. Whether on Discord or the Cloud9 website, users will have access to real-time information pulled from Riot Games’ APIs.
Cloud9 CEO and Co-Founder Jack Etienne said the goal is to connect with fans in a new way:
“This partnership with Theta Network allows us to deliver something truly unique for our fans—an AI-powered experience that not only informs but engages.”
Nimbus is also being connected to Club9, Cloud9’s loyalty program. Fans will earn XP just by chatting with the AI, which could lead to exclusive perks, digital rewards, and other content unlocks.
The company aims to use the interaction data to better understand fan behavior, helping shape future digital features and experiences.
Theta Labs Co-Founder and CEO Mitch Liu highlighted the value of esports fans as a digital-first audience. He believes the real-time features of Nimbus, combined with Theta’s edge computing framework, match fans’ expectations for high-speed access to updates.
“With Cloud9’s new AI agent and our edge computing network, we’re delivering a product that respects fans’ passion for real-time updates and deep engagement,” Liu said.
Nimbus is set to go live in 2025, with availability across multiple digital platforms. It will serve as a bridge between fans and Cloud9 content, while reinforcing both companies’ shared focus on community interaction and emerging technologies in esports.
