/The Nerd Street Gamers: Summer Championship has come to an end. The tournament, which took place online from August 18-22, saw 32 North American teams compete for a combined $ 20,000 prize pool.

Even at the group stage, Cloud9 Blue showed its ambitions, beating TSM Academy (2: 0) and SoaR (2: 1). After a successful start, the team continued to build on their success in the playoffs, closing OOKERS (2: 0) in the 1/8 finals.
