After an incredible 3-2 series, Cloud9 have beaten Team Liquid in the 2021 LCS Mid-Season Showdown finals, taking the trophy and becoming the North American representatives for the Mid-Season Invitational.<\/p>\n
The win comes after a previous 3-1 game against Team Liquid, sending them to the lower bracket while Cloud9 waited to find out who they would play against in finals. Cloud9 have continued to be the dominating team in the LCS, finishing first place in Spring after a second place finish in the first ever Lock In Tournament; another series that they again fought against Team Liquid.<\/p>\n
This also marks the first split where the team brought in rookie top laner Ibrahim “Fudge” Allami from their academy team, and more surprisingly to most, Luka “Perkz” PerkoviÄ<\/a> to their midlane from the LEC and G2 Esports for a sizeable $5 million buyout.<\/p>\n
