EG's 2021 season has come to an end, while C9 will continue its post-season in the lower bracket.
C9 eliminated GG in a 3-0 sweep, and after the win, C9 support Philippe "Vulcan" Laflamme joined Gabriella “LeTigress” Devia-Allen for a post-match broadcast interview on the LCS stage.
Golden Guardians is the second LCS team to be eliminated from the post-season following Dignitas' elimination at the hands of Immortals one day prior, and the fourth team to have its LCS season end after DIG, FlyQuest and Counter Logic Gaming, the latter pair whom failed to qualify for the post-season.
Duo Proximity is a stat that measures how often a support stays within 1500 range of its AD carry between the 3- and 15-minute marks, and CoreJJ’s preposterous 0.4% set the record by a good margin.
As a result of its 3-1 win, TL will move on in the upper bracket to face TSM, while Cloud9 will drop down to the lower bracket to fight for survival against Golden Guardians.
During the final week of the LCS Summer Split, Cloud9 mid laner Luka "Perkz" Perković spoke to Inven Global about the post-season picture, overcoming obstacles throughout the summer, and C9's current form.
Cloud9 support Philippe "Vulcan" Laflamme spoke to Inven Global about his recent opponents, his perspective on his role within the team, and C9's current level in comparison to the peaks of their performance at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational.
After Cloud9's shellacking of Team Liquid, Zven spoke to Inven Global about returning to the LCS, C9's current power level after qualifying for playoffs when compared to its form at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational, and the team's strength relative to the other top teams in the league.
After Cloud9's win over Golden Guardians, Zven answered a question from Inven Global regarding whether he expected to be subbed back into the LCS roster after the team lost all three of its games the previous weekend.
Zven was benched in favor of Cloud9 Academy AD carry Calvin "k1ng" Truong a few days before the start of the 2021 LCS Summer Split and has been starting for C9 Academy in k1ng's place ever since, but the organization tagged the LCS official Twitter account and Zven in a tweet with a photo of the AD carry saying, "He's back."
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.
TenZ moved from Cloud9 to Sentinels in perhaps the most expensive transfer in VALORANT's short esports history.
"It puts a ton of stress on the player."
Cloud9 made the announcement in a tweeted video, which featured CEO Jack Etienne explaining that after nearly a year and a half with the organization, K1ng would be starting in the LCS.
Games were thrown, crazy kills were made, and Cloud9 made North America proud. Here are six awards giving a good summary of all the crazy things at MSI.
To say that Cloud9 performed very inconsistently at MSI 2021 would be an understatement. At the top of their game, they looked unbeatable, proven through their wins against the likes of RNG and the 20
