The reigning LCS champion will be sent to the loser's bracket with TSM and Evil Geniuses, while FLY's win qualifies it as the first North American team going to the 2020 world Championship.

FLY has been stylistically mismatched into C9 all year long, but adjustments from Jungler Lucas "Santorin" Tao Kilmer Larsen and Mid Laner Tristan "PowerOfEvil" Schrage was enough to overcome a rigidly drafting Cloud9.

Despite its summer slump, Cloud9 came into the series favored but drafted nearly the same exact composition in all four games regardless of result.

2020 LCS Spring Split MVP Robert "Blaber" Huang was outclassed by Santorin in the jungle, and C9 didn't win a single early game for the entire series.

The loser of TL and GG will play against TSM in an elimination series while Cloud9 and Evil Geniuses will do the same, and the winners of those two matches will face off to guarantee qualification for Worlds 2020.
