100 Thieves advanced to the Grand Finals of the LCS postseason and the Group Stage of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship after defeating Cloud9 3-1 in the lower bracket finals of the 2021 LCS Championship.

With today’s victory, 100 Thieves will qualify for Worlds as a Pool Two team. If they defeat Team Liquid in tomorrow’s Grand Final, they will compete in the World Championships as a Pool One team alongside other major region champions from China, Korea, and Europe.

The second game of the series pictured 100 Thieves’ most impressive victory of the day, a 49-minute back-and-forth that served as one of the LCS season’s longest games. 100 Thieves never held the gold lead for more than 49 minutes.

Cloud9 had the advantage in nearly every major category—gold, kills, and objectives—from start to finish in that one game (which served as a microcosm of the entire series), but 100 Thieves still managed to win. With that in mind, it’s easy to see why Cloud9 struggled to maintain any advantage they may have gained over 100 Thieves during the course of today’s series.

If 100 Thieves want to keep building momentum and have a chance against a red-hot Team Liquid squad that beat them just a few weeks ago, they’ll need to win in their bottom lane. The FBI proved to be a decisive factor in the games that 100 Thieves won, posting a combined scoreline of 19/3/14 across the team’s three victories.

Team Liquid represented North America at the Worlds Play-in Stage last season, but the team avoided the process entirely this year by defeating both Cloud9 and 100 Thieves in earlier rounds of the postseason.
