Advancing to round 4 of the loser’s bracket in the Summer Split Playoffs means TSM would face either Liquid or FlyQuest next.
Cloud9 losing balance?
TSM secured the last North American spot in the Championship. That is to say, Cloud9 will not defend their LCS championship this year. Further, they will not be a part of the League of Legends World Championship for the first time in the organization’s history. This was the first time the organization had none of its original members, so they hardly struggled in their previous endeavors.
Surprisingly, Cloud9 remained dominant throughout the season. The Esports roster eliminated some tough opponents in the Spring Split. It looked like they were going to make it all the way up.

On the other hand, Blaber and Nisgy from Cloud9 seemed to have lost their magic. The coordination that the duo had in previous matchups was missing. Now that they are eliminated, they will look to recapture their glory again next year.

TSM is still in a tough spot. They have not registered a win against Team Liquid or FlyQuest the entire season. If they can keep up the pace, TSM might just have one of the best comeback stories to share once the competition ends.
