Cloud9 just stomped ahq e-Sports, and nobody can believe it
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Cloud9 wasn’t supposed to win its opening game of the League of Legends World Championships, and they sure weren’t supposed to win like THAT. The North American underdogs shocked fans with a surprise Veigar pick from Incarnation that AHQ e-Sports simply couldn’t handle. The end result was a stunning 24 minute win that nobody expected.
Earlier, Cloud9 snowballed to victory over AHQ with this teamfight! #Worlds #Worldsbigplays https://t.co/ZC6SRpjt6v
