Cursed Cloud9 fall to NRG, drop five-game streak at LCS Summer Split
Cloud9 were seeking yet another strong start to a League of Legends Championship Series split, but NRG Esports were out for blood in week two’s final matchday, downing the reigning LCS champions and bringing about an end to their undefeated streak.
Winning five straight to open this split, C9 entered their June 23 match with confidence—but were ambushed by an NRG squad hungry for their second win of the season. Despite losing first blood in the top lane, C9 claimed two quick Dragons relatively uncontested.
