"That was insane" - League of Legends community reacts to Cloud9 Jensen's backdoor win during LCS playoffs
The North American League Championship Series (LCS) playoffs are in full swing, and Cloud9 midlaner Nicolaj "Jensen" Jensen's incredible backdoor win has taken over the internet.
Cloud9 squared off against 100 Thieves during the Upper Bracket series of the summer playoffs, and the best-of-five round showcased some of the best plays.
One such moment came during the first game when Jensen's Orianna made a backdoor play to destroy 100 Thieves' Nexus. He managed to survive a 3v1 battle, and a clutch Flash enabled Cloud9 to secure the victory.
The esports moment went viral on Reddit, with several fans on MOBA's official subreddit reacting to Jensen's epic play.
Redditor u/Phadafi's comment, in particular, was well-liked by numerous community members, and it read:
On September 4, Cloud9 and 100 Thieves went head-to-head during the Upper Bracket Finals of the LCS’ summer playoffs. The four-game series favored Cloud9, and Jensen was crowned the MVP.
At the 43-minute mark of the first game, the Cloud9 were setting up the Elder Drake, and the 100 Thieves began contesting. Cloud9 initiated a 4v4 team fight, and the 100 Thieves' midlaner, Abbedagge, managed to kill Cloud9's support, Zven.
As the team fight continued, Jensen began split-pushing in the mid lane. A few moments later, he was able to destroy the enemy's inhibitor, as well as a Nexus turret.
After trading a few kills, 100 Thieves' trio of Closer, FBI, and Huhi walked back to their base to stop Jensen from winning the game single-handedly.
The Cloud9 midlaner managed to outplay the remaining three 100 Thieves members and secured a well-deserved victory.
