Cloud9 Advance to Worlds 2021 Quarterfinals
MinilitarinIn the first game for DAMWON, KIA managed to outplay FunPlus Phoenix: the Chinese completely failed in the draft, picking 4 champions with jerks against Poppy. Thus, DWG secured a place in the playoffs after the first match. Cloud9 quite unexpectedly managed to beat Rogue in the second match of the day and theoretically retained the chances of passing further, but that was only where the surprises began...
The next match was a meeting between FPX and C9, in which everyone predicted an easy victory for the LPL representatives, but the Doinb team could show absolutely nothing and so Cloud9 earned a second victory and caught up with the Chinese team according to statistics. DAMWON KIA took their remaining meetings without any problems and, as a result, a situation was created in the group in which three teams had statistics of 2-4.
The fate of the second place was decided in replays: FPX were to play Rogue, and the winner of their pair went to Cloud9. As a result, the European team makes another sensation on this day and defeats FunPlus Phoenix, and then, in the hardest match, loses to Cloud9.
As a result, DAMWON KIA and Cloud9 will advance to the Worlds 2021 playoffs. Their rivals will be determined on the next days of the competition. Recall that Worlds 2021 is held in LAN format in the capital of Iceland - Reykjavik. The world's 22 best teams compete for the Summoners' Cup and $ 2,225,000 in prize money.
