While Vitality lost its first match against Eternal Fire, Cloud9’s only loss came against FURIA. However, Cloud9’s victory over G2 esports and NAVI set the two teams slightly apart. Cloud9 had a tougher route through the elimination stage and this perseverance will be crucial for their performance through the Playoffs.
