About

Cloud9 sat in last place in the NA LCS after a roster shake up at the start of the season. The team that had captured so many fans around the globe seemed to finally be running out of magic. Then things started to change, and a victory against TSM quickly snowballed into an eight-game win streak that catapulted Cloud9 from 10th to 2nd. Not only were they on fire, but they looked like one of the best teams in North America. The key? A rotating seven-man roster that could adapt on the fly and create the mismatches they were looking for. And even though Cloud9 fell against Team Liquid in the Summer Split Finals, they knew they had one more shot at Worlds through the Gauntlet. Cloud9 capped off their comeback season in dominant fashion with an emotional and historic 3-0 sweep of TSM in the Regional Qualifier Finals. Sporting a renewed swagger, Cloud9 touch down in Korea as one of the tournament’s true wild cards.
