After finding 3 easy wins against teams with a combined record of 3-7, Cloud9 faces their first major challenge in the 2022 League of Legends season. 100 Thieves will challenge them for the North American juggernaut slot in a rematch of the 2021 LCS Playoffs Semifinals where C9 saw the end of their run before Worlds.
