Cloud9 advanced to 2022 World Championship

Cloud9 made it to the finals of the LCS Summer 2022 upper bracket and, thanks to this, secured an invite to the main annual League of Legends tournament. In the last match, Cloud9 won the fight against Evil Geniuses with a score of 3-1.

C9 are in the top 3 participants of the LCS Summer 2022 and depending on what place they take in the standings at the end, the team's seeding in the 2022 World Championship will be known.

If the team reaches the grand final, it will not only provide itself with a solid cash reward, but will also start in the World Championship right from the group stage. Otherwise, C9 will start the path in the preliminary stage of the Play-In.

In the next match, Cloud9 will face 100 Thieves for the right to get the first invite to the group stage of the 2022 World Championship.
