GOOD MORNING CLOOOOOOOOOOOOUD NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/TSim777]

Well this is an interesting day we find ourselves in after well…letting the end of game 2 slip through our fingers, underestimating their bot lane strat in game 4, and falling apart in game 5 against KC which led to us letting NA down and becoming national disgraces.

But heck, we keep balling on.

And our next opponent is…our South American nightmare in Furia.

Oh boy…

But hey, Americas Cup in the past. We mount up and keep on keeping on through the lower bracket to keep our Worlds going. If not, god help us all…

These youngsters have a lot of enthusiasm, keep at it, I lost hope a long time ago, loyalty is all that keeps me rooting for Cloud9, but just that...

[u/WrinklyScroteSack → u/xlParanoid]

I get my hopes up every season. They play like world champions for a few series and then BAM! Back in the dirt!

[u/intcmg]

If Blaber and Tactical played like yday, should be easy series

[u/QuarterDisastrous479 → u/intcmg]

Vulcan was my mvp, our solo laners were terrible except the locke game

[u/sarsarbinks123 → u/intcmg]

...for who?

[u/zuhuri]

Lower bracket run to maximize games. My goats are too big brained 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 #C9Win

[u/Trick_Mix_302]

Im expecting 3-0 win with all of it being sub 25 mins and finally for the bs narrative that brazil is better than NA to end

[u/justintolboe → u/Trick_Mix_302]

There's been so much commentary about how Fuira 3-0 C9 earlier in this year and it's kind of annoying as if it is relevant at all. It's not the same roster, it was half a year ago, and C9 is playing ridiculously better than back then. I would be absolutely shocked if C9 doesn't 3-0.

[u/johnnyxxx21 → u/Trick_Mix_302]

I’ll have what he’s having

[u/Keayed → u/johnnyxxx21]

A bunch of hopium! 🤣

[u/Hydralisk18]

Guys C9 is just powering up to perform at Worlds, this is always apart of the C9 lore and prophecy. The gauntlet run begins now.

NAMEN

[u/dardios → u/Hydralisk18]

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE C9 GAUNTLET BUFF! Just ask TL 😉

[u/Drfiddle → u/Hydralisk18]

NAMEN

[u/Singsongsouls]

Lower bracket runs used to be our bread and butter. We can do it 😊

[u/CrustyToeLover]

Blaber on Lillia is certainly a pick

[u/Tiberiusjesus → u/CrustyToeLover]

It didn’t work out and I doubt they do that in an elimination match but I love that Dom trusted Blaber to pick a champ they didn’t practice on just because he had faith in him.

[u/blakninjacat → u/Tiberiusjesus]

Sometimes a champ that you’re comfortable on is better than the ‘right’ pick. Coaches should have picked something else , Lillia is too hard to play in a game 5.

[u/XChunchunmaruX → u/CrustyToeLover]

Homage to the TSM 10-man sleep Lilia incident what a Chad pick

[u/bellavita4444]

I am wearing head to toe Cloud9 gear, let's go, c9 win, take my energy, #NAmen

[u/Keayed → u/bellavita4444]

This is what I have on!

[u/sarsarbinks123]

I started supporting C9 in the early Balls/Hai days and became disinterested in league/esports for around 2019-2025 until this year. I came back to league and started watching LCS again in this spring, and was confused by how up and down C9 are.

This is the first Worlds I'm watching since our semifinal run. Please don't let it end today.

[u/National-Artichoke50]

I think we need to pick more agency in top, and maybe some more mages in mid. Blaber had way too many losing lanes, especially that Lillia game, no lane prio anywhere. And Loki gets set too far behind every game on the melees

[u/RoarkySnaps]

We have this!!

[u/JoonTae]

LETS GOOO C9

[u/KansloosKippenhok]

I mean I would prefer if we won the first match but it isn’t too bad. The format sucks for playin you need to win 3 bo5 anyway winning the first doesn’t even give THAT big of an advantage

[u/QuarterDisastrous479 → u/KansloosKippenhok]

It doesnt, one could argue its almost better to lose to play an extra best of 5 for prep

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

Either C9 3-0 or Furia wins 3-2

[u/WhirlingDervishGrady]

No question about it, I am ready to get hurt again.

[u/Chaos_Number8]

If C9 loses to furia and gets DEAD LAST at worlds, actually nuke the roster bro 😭

[u/Keayed → u/Chaos_Number8]

Keep Vulcan! I think Phil is a GREAT player. Bring Zven & APA back.

I mean, they have to have a 7-man roster for something!

[u/Fenikkuro]

I'm just ready for them to complete the humiliation ritual and get sent home by CBLOL. I'm so done. They seem like they've unlocked a new level since beating Lyon and have absolutely no ability to control it or access it reliably. Also just permaban qiyana at this point. How many games do we need to lose before we stop leaving it open. The champion is OP and C9 hasn't figured out an answer yet. Also maybe take away Ambessa, Tactical is like magnetized to dying to her.

[u/Fear_Inoculum__]

Well Furia is a better team than KC so gl
