All the humiliation and joke C9 faced on the first week of the group stage. They fought back and became the first team who qualified to the next round. Congratulation C9
Before today, I've never sat through any more than one game of worlds, but today I sat through all 8 hours. What fantastic performances with all team in group B today. Such a competitive scene in League today and I LOVE IT!
I watched my games in the pacific timezone, the first game started at 1AM, and the final game ended at 7AM. Never got past 5AM in any of the previous days. These games were so fun to watch.
I had to come back to watch it. Was an unbelievable day. I went into it sick. We needed wins…no way around it. When the first two games were against the MSI champs and the LCK 2 seed, I was thinking one would be lucky.
you can't call him unsportsmanlike just because he took a slight delay before standing up to congratulate the winners... these losses can be devastating
That was class right there. I was worried about us (NA) but C9 again showed they are our best team. Good luck to FNC, they look strong. G2 could even do it.
"And Cloud9 pass the group of death, and qualify for the quarterfinals!" NO ONE was expecting C9 to make it out of this group. They beat the defending world champions and the tournament favorites, and then swept Korea out of the tournament in quarters. 2018 C9 was one of the biggest underdog stories in League history.
@Alosja Junker Uhh just think about it for a sec. Bjergsen was and is mostly a resource heavy player which limits the amount champions Svenskeren can play. TSM loves taking carry jungles which themselves require resources and turn them into Bjergsen's personal support for midlane. If Svenskeren was allowed to have a more aggressive role like he was known for he would have been much better. This is shown in the contrast of 2016-2017 TSM and 2018 C9. C9 allows their junglers to have more freedom. And yes Bjergsen should do well with the amount of resources/freedom he siphons off great carry junglers turning them into supportive/ward bots.
@Alosja Junker kind of happens when you feed your mid so much of the resources and have your jungle play a support role. Bjergsen is overrated. That's why his team didn't even make it to worlds... but yeah Sven was the problem. Right?
@@phlixcarbon completely agree, thats why TSM WILL NEVER BE A INTERNATIONAL CONTENDER. They dont try to improve their team, they just want to IMPROVE PROTECTING BJERSEN. They are like the POOR MAN's RNG with "Uzi" protecting comp.
c9 is a team of constant struggle, clawing their way through every pain point that is possible. If there was any year to see great things happen, it's this year, and it's gonna happen on the back of c9. The road of pain is the road of glory, and c9 deserve all the glory that it earns right now.
Great memories waking up to watch this, and then the following Bo5 vs AFR. One of my best League memories to date, aside from the entirety of 2019 spring and MSI.
What is with all that hate in the comment section? EU fan here but still happy for C9. Both EU and NA have shown that they can go toe-to-toe with the best of LCK and LPL. A great day for both leagues, just be happy for each other!
From EU fan GG to C9, VIT was much worse this game. They made some terrible decisions this game (like that baron bait, wtf was that) and at the end it was too little too late for them. Still VIT was fantastic this worlds and exceeded all my expectations. Keep your heads up bois and come stronger next year! GG everybody G2 tomorrow!
They didnt disrespect C9, they picked the team coomp that had to win early and get a big early lead, thats why they went for those early plays, problems come when they didnt get this lead and they started to panic
The looks in VIT where heart breaking. But i have to say, seeing C9 come out as 2nd seed with Gen G. and RNG in the group. shows how well C9 improved in those few days from play in stage.
Such mixed emotions. C9 is my favorite NA team, but Vitality was so fun to watch. Guess this is why EU kept saying their playstyle is so risky. 46:32 :\ If Vitality keeps this team I will watch 2019 EU.
Eu>Na,that we all know it but guys lets be real,c9 played better today both team would have deserved it after they took these teams down,vitality is unconsistant and its their first year at world and they still manage to do that performance !be proud eu,you're worth more than this salt.
As I remembered, isnt Cloud9 advancing to Quarters in past few seasons?? People always overhyped TSM at worlds and overlooked C9, I hope NA sends C9 to worlds every single year.
Still 2 strong chances for EU to get out of groups. This group was stupidly close. It basically came down to little misplays, such as Thresh missing so many hooks :/ . Both of them deserved a spot in quarters. Well played Vitality, you really amazed us all.
Coming from NA, Don't get why NA & EU fans come together. Should be supporting each other especially at worlds! We are obviously considered the underdogs, both regions, let's take one!
That did happen in a game where Vitality threw the game. Vitality has the better players, its just that they are inexperienced compared to the C9 roster. Having Jensen and sneaky helps a lot for their rookies. Not taking away from C9 as they deserved it, but it would be exciting to see a bo5 between them :)
To be fair, and I'm not trying to bash any team, but, this was the worst match of today, while the other 6 were completely better This was forced play after forced play, if it wasn't for their previous performance this day and because they are from these 2 regions most people would only be making fun of these 2 teams.
All the humiliation and joke C9 faced on the first week of the group stage. They fought back and became the first team who qualified to the next round. Congratulation C9
if they can keep Reapered long-term, C9 is going to be a legitimate international contender
Now it's time for 100T and TL to step up or step down
from 10th in NALCS to quarterfinals in worlds
imagine from 10th nalcs to grandfinals in worlds.
Imagine 10th NALCS to FIRST TO QUALIFY in the HARDEST GROUP
semis*
Before today, I've never sat through any more than one game of worlds, but today I sat through all 8 hours. What fantastic performances with all team in group B today. Such a competitive scene in League today and I LOVE IT!
I watched my games in the pacific timezone, the first game started at 1AM, and the final game ended at 7AM. Never got past 5AM in any of the previous days. These games were so fun to watch.
I completely agree! Extremely high level play has been witnessed today :)
I live in pacific time too. I have work at 1am Mon-Fri, tho, so at least I can stealthfully listen in for a few hours.
I had to come back to watch it. Was an unbelievable day. I went into it sick. We needed wins…no way around it. When the first two games were against the MSI champs and the LCK 2 seed, I was thinking one would be lucky.
C9 has got the Cinderella story here. From last seed in NALCS to quarter finals is already a stellar showcase.
They do every year! They always pass by gauntlet and do the best out of NA
Not just last seed, but also last PLACE in the NA LCS.
The Disney is strong with them....will they carry this to it's natural plot conclusion? Will they take the cup?
10th Place to semis is a great story but man would I have loved 10th place to 1st at worlds
C9 can legit say "started from the bottom, now we are here "
So glad C9 beat tsm. Tsm would be the gen G of this group
I hate to say this, but, I'm actually sad TSM isn't here. We'd have a better trio if we had them instead of 100T.
Yeah... No.. Gen G is still the defending champ, this is more like an accident for them.... Not ready to say the same for TSM..
If Tsm was here they would be in C9 group tho because they played in the regionals. 100T had points so they were making it regardless
Echo Fox or TSM would of been better than 100 T
Not sure TSM would’ve beaten Gambit to make it out of play ins
"We like Fortnite" - C9 Sneaky, 2018
Best thing to pick off from this 58min vid lul memes
hypnotizd LOL fortnite bootcamps pushing NA through to quarters
hypnotizd LOL he said that cause doublelift tried trash talking them not playing only league but lol
Cassie Lowe it was dom lol
That's heart breaking for vitality. I'm a cloud 9 fan but wow.
yeah winner takes all is brutal
Same. Loved watching vitality. Hated seeing their faces at the end here.
I loved it. Also their midlaner too busy crying to be sportsmanlike
you can't call him unsportsmanlike just because he took a slight delay before standing up to congratulate the winners... these losses can be devastating
Yeah Jiizuke looked a bit in shock. In moments like that, time just stops. Guy played great. I feel for him
Licorice is on fire like every game..He is so good and consistent, well played C9!
see you on the other side Licorice since he was cut the other day.
I am European but I am happy for C9. Great Work!
I'm American, but, heartbroken Vitality could't come with us. They did amazing regardless. GG Vitality!
Super game out of both teams.
That was class right there. I was worried about us (NA) but C9 again showed they are our best team. Good luck to FNC, they look strong. G2 could even do it.
Vitality was good... be proud of your region this year!
"And Cloud9 pass the group of death, and qualify for the quarterfinals!"
NO ONE was expecting C9 to make it out of this group. They beat the defending world champions and the tournament favorites, and then swept Korea out of the tournament in quarters. 2018 C9 was one of the biggest underdog stories in League history.

Love you
Was searching for this comment
This game was absolute madness
THAT CHAMP SELECT WAS HYPE ASF AND THE CROWD CHANTING C9 WAS HYPE ASF
Funny how this World's theme is "Rise" and C9, one of the 2 least expected to get out of this group, got Top 1 spot
NecroPhilia Rise, C9, Rise
John Smith I don't even know how you came up with that with what I said
Licorice needs to play singed every game, haha.
haha, he has a deep champion pool, haha
Sven finally makes it out of groups
Michal Topor He didn’t have Bjergsen holding him back this time.
@Alosja Junker Uhh just think about it for a sec. Bjergsen was and is mostly a resource heavy player which limits the amount champions Svenskeren can play. TSM loves taking carry jungles which themselves require resources and turn them into Bjergsen's personal support for midlane.

- Sneaky, 53:48
This game is actually more exciting than all the other games! Respect for both teams.
yep. The sneaky cosplay brought it home for C9 today :)
They took his hat. You don't get in the way of Sneaky and what he wears
Vitality, you earn a fan, will be looking forward to your play come 2019.
- an NA dude
Great memories waking up to watch this, and then the following Bo5 vs AFR. One of my best League memories to date, aside from the entirety of 2019 spring and MSI.
C9 saved their week 2 buff for today!
Amazing game :)
VIT was such a threat I am amazed C9 managed them so well. GGWP!
C9 carry NA again. Never disappoint. Gj c9. :D
What is with all that hate in the comment section? EU fan here but still happy for C9.
Both EU and NA have shown that they can go toe-to-toe with the best of LCK and LPL.
A great day for both leagues, just be happy for each other!
EU fans should definitely be proud. Vitality's performance was amazing.
Congratulations to C9 and respect to Vitality for beating the defending champion and the favorite for this worlds!
Can we western teams just be happy for each other?
Austin Goggans osrs man
Lol no
No. Its always NA vs EU
I'm sad for Vitality. The underdogs BOTH making it out of the Group of Death would have turned everything upside down.
No EU LUL thanks for Jensen and Sven, idiots!
Made me smile seeing Jack running onto stage for the group hug there.
From EU fan GG to C9, VIT was much worse this game. They made some terrible decisions this game (like that baron bait, wtf was that) and at the end it was too little too late for them.
Still VIT was fantastic this worlds and exceeded all my expectations. Keep your heads up bois and come stronger next year!
GG everybody G2 tomorrow!
I disagree, VIT played well C9 was just really good at absorbing their pressure. VIT still had a huge play-in and they have a bright future.
VIT did amazing but c9 picked against their aggressive style instead of matching it
Vitality completely disrespected their opponent... They deserve this loss. C9 Responded well.
They didnt disrespect C9, they picked the team coomp that had to win early and get a big early lead, thats why they went for those early plays, problems come when they didnt get this lead and they started to panic
The Zilean ruined their comp...Vitality lost fights where they would have gotten even...they lost in the drafts
I am for TL but man where was this C9 at Oakland? Haha gg tho. They didn't just survive the "group of death" but they BECAME THE GROUP OF DEATH today
They've always been part of the group of death. C9 has a history of upsets in play-ins.
The looks in VIT where heart breaking. But i have to say, seeing C9 come out as 2nd seed with Gen G. and RNG in the group. shows how well C9 improved in those few days from play in stage.
this is the only group where i think vitality also deserve quarters
jason yang in terms of sheer will, IMO C9 and VIT deserved to make it out, RNG realized that they couldn’t simply forget about them
Such mixed emotions. C9 is my favorite NA team, but Vitality was so fun to watch. Guess this is why EU kept saying their playstyle is so risky. 46:32 :\
If Vitality keeps this team I will watch 2019 EU.
TENTH PLACE TO TOP 8
Eamon Burke in the world !!
TENTH PLACE NA LCS to TOP 4 WORLDS. Wow, amazing run. cant wait to see them improve even more next year with REAPERED coaching
I'm so proud of C9! I'm rooting for them
I have watched the first 2 minutes of the game like three times already. I just love how EVERYBODY is like: "Flash? What Flash?"
Licorice is insane! He didn’t just replace impact, he went far beyond, this is the best native North American top laner and he’s here to prove it
I personally think he might be top 3 in the world tbh with you. He was the best out of NA including imports.
Matthew Minogue yeah I really hope I get to see him play against kiin. That would truly be a test.
Seems like your wishes will come true. I think some people will finally realize just how good he is. So far he stomped his competition.
Matthew Minogue I was so excited when I saw the draw. it’s going to be an awesome match C9 gonna make it to semi’s!!!
I wouldnt be surprise. This is by far the weakest Korea ever looked. I mean, given what happened last night... No spoilers.
the level of salt is beyond infinity in this comment section lmao
ok Buzz lightyear
The best game in worlds 2018. Must watch this game. TY VIT & C9
I was rooting for C9 but almost cried seeing the heartbreak for Vitality.
I'll be happy who ever win here. also, I'll be heart broken for the losing team..
Im here to watch Jack jumping of happiness 46:24.
They are the only NA team that finds a way no matter what!!!! SO PROUD!
CLOUD 9 BABY!!!
Best game in Worlds LOL
Licorice has got to be the best individual player in NA at this point right? Slappin dudes with Hec and Singed in worlds
Oof, this game is madness
First seed of the group of death.. wow, C9.
not really
That Zilean and Singed pick , destroyed Vitality :/
10th place to quarter finals. Let's go baby!
Sad that we didn't see this cloud9 this year.
GOOOOO C9!! Wow what a game
Eu>Na,that we all know it but guys lets be real,c9 played better today both team would have deserved it after they took these teams down,vitality is unconsistant and its their first year at world and they still manage to do that performance !be proud eu,you're worth more than this salt.
Ravé Nicolas As an NA fan I legit wished Vit could’ve came thru. GG today tho man
No
I BID YOU STAND! MEN, OF THE WEST!
NA>EU, BUT, it was a good game my eu brothers, I hope yall get in over rng
C9 is good but TL and 100T won't qualify
As I remembered, isnt Cloud9 advancing to Quarters in past few seasons?? People always overhyped TSM at worlds and overlooked C9, I hope NA sends C9 to worlds every single year.
53:13 Lesbi no but luv for Sneaky for not forgetting OG C9. Motivation 53:48
C9 wins Worlds, you heard it here first
And you woke up and it was morning...
After watching my team not make it to Worlds for the first time, watching all of NA still lose at Worlds i wish C9 was here.
Yeah it was tough now Licorce is gone and now I am really hurting.
what amazing singed play. nice decision zoning enemy team away from baron with poison @41:10.
Man, I hope everyone feels bad for calling C9 management out for all the changes they have been making.
The picks and bans were like an anime showdown 😂
Xzazel always looks at the crowd when he bows lol
Still 2 strong chances for EU to get out of groups. This group was stupidly close. It basically came down to little misplays, such as Thresh missing so many hooks :/ . Both of them deserved a spot in quarters. Well played Vitality, you really amazed us all.
OOPS WE DID IT AGAIN
Now that worlds is over, so sad this c9 didnt show up at semis. at least take it to game 5 hype...
NA
Coming from NA, Don't get why NA & EU fans come together. Should be supporting each other especially at worlds! We are obviously considered the underdogs, both regions, let's take one!
RISE! RISE! RISE!
As european my salt lvl is over 1000000, but at least, the sun is coming back to the western side.
NA REPRESENT
NA REPRESENT
NA REPRESENT
NA REPRESENT
Not so sure C9 would take down Vitality without Zil & Noc, but that lies on Vitality. WP by both.
Vitality lost to C9 when jensen played Galio and Svenskeren on Tali...
That did happen in a game where Vitality threw the game. Vitality has the better players, its just that they are inexperienced compared to the C9 roster. Having Jensen and sneaky helps a lot for their rookies. Not taking away from C9 as they deserved it, but it would be exciting to see a bo5 between them :)
SINGED IT TO WIN IT
NA > EU
And you woke up and it was morning...
Who's the new, older guy at the caster desk with Mark and the other casters?
remember when were all flaming reapered? hahaha
Maxmilian Schönbäck he earned those flames bro
39:26 "Clown 9"
11:40 *Stares into the camera*
Say what you want about the drunken flaccid clown tussle that is NA v EU, but it's consistently entertaining.
adamdecoder1
You got a point
Finally Jensen !!!
I feel so bad for vitality..i feel they deserved to go too..if only they were in a better group
um can someone explain to me why c9 and rng play 7 games but vitality and GenG plays 6 games
Yi Z they had to tiebreak to see who got first seed
"We like fortnite" LUL
16:20 scuttler blocked
Fighting!
They were both sponsored by Red Bull, So i think RB will prefer C9 Now XD
C9 out picked them so hard.
Phreak doesn't play Draven? I thought he befriended Tyler1 to convert to the league of draven.
I wanted to buy something from c9 merch but when Sneaky said he likes fortnite... I changed my mind. Still a huge Licorice fan!
Commentators seemed to be siding with vitality imo and vitality lost in draft
To be fair, and I'm not trying to bash any team, but, this was the worst match of today, while the other 6 were completely better
This was forced play after forced play, if it wasn't for their previous performance this day and because they are from these 2 regions most people would only be making fun of these 2 teams.
Zniči “not trying to bad any team”
So na>eu?? Wtf?(well vitality not a fnatic but still they beat rng tho)
I hope C9 will face Fnc or G2 and then we will see
@Riadh Bouguerra nah fnc is better than VIT ^^
a best of 5 between C9 and FNC in quaters? I would LOVE that rematch of season 3 quaters
freaking singed am I right
Same as last time they met, VIT defeat themselves trying to force play after play while C9's very safe and boring play-style counters that well.
47:53 😂
NA is better than EU
And you woke up and it was morning...
NA>>>>>>>>>>>>>EU
Pls
And you woke up and it was morning...
