Cloud9 were on the brink of elimination from the tournament after being down 0-2 in the Legends stage. They got a few easy matchups and qualified to the Major Champions stage. But their game definitely seemed elevated during the Champions stage as we saw them take down several top ten teams in contention at the Major. They won matches against SK Gaming, Faze, G2 etc amongst others.
Lets take a moment and realize @Cloud9 were down 0-2 in groups, up in an elimination game vs @virtuspro. Crazy stuff
