After week 1 of the 2022 LCS Summer Split, Fudge spoke to Inven Global about his return to top lane, replacing LCS Spring Split MVP Park "Summit" Woo-tae, and what Cloud9's roster should look like in week 2.
UPDATE Jan. 10, 2022: Cloud9 have added two more assistant coaches to that will also be splitting time as translators for the team's South Korean players.
All four of these players play on teams stacked with talent and each of them contributed to their team's success in different ways, but who ultimately brought the most value to their respective squad?
Cloud9 is 0-2 throughout k1ng's LCS debut weekend thus far, and after the second loss, the AD carry joined Inven Global to discuss his process of joining the LCS roster, what has contributed to the teams struggles early in the Summer Split, and his thoughts on his home region's representative Pentanet .GG's performance at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational.
Despite what k1ng may feel, Cloud9 top laner Ibrahim "Fudge" Allami told Inven Global that he felt positive about his countryman's LCS debut.
For most rookies making their League of Legends Championship Series debut, playing on a team as illustrious as Cloud9 — alongside the best western player of all time in mid laner Luka "Perkz" Perković, no less — would be plenty of pressure. But Cloud9 top laner Ibrahim “Fudge” Allami is not most rookies.
Fudge spoke to Inven Global's Nick Geracie to discuss his LCS debut, what Cloud9 changed between losing to Evil Geniuses and dominating FlyQuest, and how his high standards aren't set by playing on C9, or with Perkz, but by himself.
