Cloud9

Cloud9 have been showcasing indomitable form, with six consecutive victories in the league stage. The win against MIBR last week secured the playoffs spot for the NA Giants. In the seven league stage matches so far, they have dropped only three maps, and two of them were against LOUD. The team’s exceptional chemistry can be credited to runi, who despite having no prior tier-1 experience, has emerged as one of the best IGLs in the region.
