Mueller, Cloud9 Partner on Esports Recovery

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (May 27, 2025) — Cloud9 and Mueller Esports Medicine are teaming up to redefine recovery in esports, bridging the gap between traditional athletics and competitive gaming. This partnership, centered around none other than Super Smash Bros. icon mang0, champions a healthier future for every kind of competitor, from casual players to world-class pros.

For over 60 years, Mueller has helped traditional athletes bounce back faster, perform better and stay healthy longer. Now, the same science-backed innovation is being introduced to a new arena: competitive gaming. With Mueller’s most advanced recovery tools – like the REVIVE pneumatic compression system and performance compression sleeves – now in mang0’s hands, the mission is clear: empower gamers to perform at their best, recover smarter and play longer.

“Gamers are athletes and the training that Cloud9 players complete on a daily basis imposes a similar wear and tear on their bodies” said Jonathan Tran, President of Cloud9. “Partnering with Mueller Esports Medicine allows us to support mang0 from a health, wellness, and performance angle–key pillars at Cloud9 for all of our staff and players. Mueller’s resources will enable mang0 to extend his successful career for many years to come and continue competing and delivering memorable competitive matches. Welcome Mueller to the Cloud9 Family!”

Throughout the partnership, mang0 and Mueller aim to redefine esports wellness–creating a path where gamers are equipped with the tools and knowledge to prioritize their health and take control of their performance through sustainable habits.

“Partnering with Cloud9 and mang0 is a natural next step for Mueller,” said Brett Mueller, CEO of Mueller Esports Medicine. “We’ve spent decades building the highest quality and most innovative products for high-performance athletes. Esports competitors are no different. They demand endurance, sharpness, and recovery. We’re here to help them push further and feel better doing it.”

With mang0 leading the charge, Cloud9 and Mueller are proud to set a new standard for performance and recovery in the world of esports.
