After stumbling out of the gate to kick off the LCS Summer Split, Cloud9 came into tonight’s opening matchup of week three on a resurgent four-game winning streak. The team had reclaimed sole possession of first place last week, and should have easily held onto it with a winnable game against Evil Geniuses, a team that C9 had beaten with a nearly 9,000-gold lead during their last meeting.
Tonight, a repeat performance wasn’t in the cards for C9. In fact, C9 were down by 9,000 gold just 22 minutes into the game. After sevel teamfight losses and five unanswered towers taken by EG, C9 had dug itself into a hole the team failed to escape. After ccking the base for what felt like the entirety of the game, EG finally put C9 to bed in just 25 minutes.
