C9 win 2023 LCS Spring Finals, cutting Golden Guardians’ miracle split short
For the first time in the 2023 LCS Spring Playoffs, Cloud9 were seriously pushed against Golden Guardians in today’s grand final. After skating through the playoffs to this point, winning six of their first seven individual games, C9 were forced to play a much closer series than expected against the LCS’ sixth seed, but still managed to secure the league’s title—the second in as many splits for the franchise.
With this win, C9 becomes the first LCS team since 2019 Team Liquid to win two consecutive LCS titles. It’s the organization’s sixth overall LCS trophy.
