The United Center was lit up in blue and red fireworks in anticipation of the LCS Championship finals matchup between Cloud9 and 100 Thieves. Despite entering the finals as the fifth seed, Cloud9 won their first LCS trophy since the 2021 Mid-Season Showdown, defeating their opponents in the bracket’s only sweep.

This trophy concludes a turbulent year in the LCS for Cloud9, which saw massive roster changes, coaching controversy, role swaps, and the return of some of the organization’s most recognisable players.

On the other hand, 100T continues their streak of winning every finals they’ve been in, including this year’s Spring Playoffs, last year’s LCS, and the 2018 Spring.

After a back-and-forth series against Evil Geniuses, where they were eventually able to take down the team that ruined their playoffs run in the Spring, 100T entered this rematch from the winner’s finals of the LCS Championship. Despite 100T putting all of their faith in Abbedagge and Closer and extending their dominant Summer Split run into a second-place regular season finish, one factor sent them into their lower bracket run: Berserker.

An amazing way to cap off 10 years of the #LCS.

Congratulations again to @Cloud9 on their 2022 LCS Championship victory and thank you to Chicago for the wonderful memories and incredible hospitality! GG WP ♥️ pic.twitter.com/WyGCQumNSR

On the other hand, 100T continues their streak of winning every finals they’ve been in, including this year’s Spring Playoffs, last year’s LCS, and the 2018 Spring.

Despite this, nearly none of 100T’s target bans were able to limit Cloud9’s ADC’s understanding of nearly every matchup. It became increasingly difficult for 100T to locate ways to deal with Berserker as, on the opposite side of the map, Fudge and Blaber were continuing to accumulate large leads for themselves.

Cloud9 was able to control the pacing of each League finals game with just one teamfight, forcing 100T to be fully prepared to fight nearly every second.

In the final game of the series, C9 ensured they struck fear into the members of 100T with an immediate invasion into enemy territory and a kill for themselves. This appeared to completely throw off an already struggling 100T, resulting in mistimed ultimates and vision loss for their opponents, giving C9 all of the tools they needed to continue their dominance with ease.

Following this series, the Worlds group draw show will take place, where all of the groups for both the Play-Ins and Groups stages will be determined at random. The Istanbul Wildcats were the final team to qualify for this year’s Worlds, which will begin on September 29 with the Play-Ins in Mexico City, Mexico.

100T and C9 will enter Worlds directly into the Group Stage.Third seed team Evil Geniuses will begin their World Championship in Play-Ins.
