C9 stands for cloud 9, which means cloud nine in English.

Cloud nine is a term used by the United States Weather Service. In the weather service, different cloud systems have their own numerical codes, such as: Cloud 1, Cloud 2.

Cloud 9 is a specific code name for a type of cloud called "cumulonimbus cloud".

Cumulonimbus clouds are at the highest position, so Cloud Nine has become a synonym for "being at the top of the world", which is also the deep meaning of the team name Cloud 9.

The predecessor of C9 team was Quantic Gaming. Its players include Nien, Hai, Wild Turtle and LemonNation, who are famous players in North America.

In 2013, with the start of League of Legends Season 3, although Wild Turtle transferred to TSM, the new player Sneaky was as strong as Wild Turtle. In addition, new members Meteos and Balls joined, effectively strengthening C9's relatively weak top and jungle.

Therefore, after making up for its weaknesses, C9 shined in this year's LCS North American division and successfully won a ticket to the S3 finals.

"Mouse, do we need to find an opportunity to change it back?"

Xiao Min had no objection and switched to the bottom lane directly. Before Xiao Min could get there, he heard Wang Hao exclaim from the top lane.

Everyone at LG cheered in unison.

In order to consume the health of EZ and Leona, Jella and Varus' speed in clearing the minion line was a little slow, and LG's bottom lane immediately seized the opportunity.

The second ban of the LG team was given to C9 support LemonNation's Thresh.

So both sides started the normal laning after switching lanes.

This guy's Zyra and Thresh are very strong. In this year's league, he has a 100% win rate with these two heroes, and Thresh is the kind of hero who can change the situation, so LG decisively banned him.

"Go! go! go! Go, go, go!"

Jyra had a fragile physique and was a support without any health-replenishing equipment, so she was killed instantly and EZ got the first blood of Jyra.

But who knew that this balls' Kennen played very smoothly, and he showed off a Qin Wang circling the pillar to Crocodile and Sword Demon.

EZ also followed closely and directly used EQAA and ignite to attack Jyra.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

Wang Hao, who didn't really want to change lanes, said unconvinced.

"Alas, alas, there is nothing I can do. God is merciful. I was originally prepared to change the route and let them go, but they refused to listen and insisted on running on the road to send me off. So I will reluctantly take their heads."

"Huh... tui!"

"I was just showing off. He was really like a chicken seeing a ghost. He missed two skills. Otherwise, that x Kennen would definitely be dead."

Ruoxia looked at the opposing team's lineup and suggested.

C9 banned the mid laner Zed, the AD position Policewoman, and the mid laner Ahri.

"Forget it. This prince is quite alert. Let's retreat first."

After some intrigue, both sides completed the ban selection.

Zhang Yu comforted her as he operated the wine barrel to suppress the spring.

Seeing that C9 had defeated Zed, LG counterattacked and defeated Shen. He can survive in the lane and has strong support. If you want to gain an advantage in the lane, it is better to ban him.

Varus wanted to add some damage, but seeing that Jyra was dead, he retreated back to the tower.

The LG team, which hadn't ambushed anyone for a long time, wanted to try to trick others, so a group of people rushed to the bushes on the opposite side of the red buff and hid there.

However, Kennen was in a very bad condition at this time, and the Prince did not dare to continue chasing him. The two sides exchanged skills and retreated safely.

"Mouse, that's great. You guys really beat me."

The player LemonNation once used a support to get to the top of the US server. In this version where supports are not as good as chickens, it is not an easy thing to get to the top with a support.

"It's okay, don't worry, their mid and top lanes are a bit broken, just be steady."

"Indeed, this hero is very strong. He is very strong in solo lanes and poses a great threat to AD in teamfights, so it is normal for him to occupy a regular ban position."

The LG team took down the top laners Shen, Thresh, and Corki.

But before they could even sit down, they saw a flag falling from the sky, clearly arranging the five people.

The five people looked at each other.

Xiao Min asked with some concern.

As soon as he felt a little proud, Wang Hao's big tail couldn't help but rise up.

At the moment when EZ and Leona both reached level 2, Ruoxia gave an order and used the E skill directly at the opposing support Jyra, and then used the Q skill to control her in place.

"Nice, beautiful!"

Miller thought about it carefully, but couldn't come up with any idea.

After the ban, both sides began to choose their lineups. After some tossing, the final lineups for both sides were: C9 on the blue side, Kennen on the top lane, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Clockwork in the middle lane, Varus and Zyra in the bottom lane, highlighting their invincibility in team battles.

"Okay, you can also suppress Kennen's development."

“Uh uh…”

The red team LG has Crocodile on the top lane, Aatrox on the jungle, Gragas on the mid lane, and EZ and Leona on the bottom lane.

"And the most important thing is that Team Yu's Jie is really good at playing."

"Let's switch to the bottom lane this time. The opponent's Varus and Zyra combination is quite disgusting in the early game."

C9 did not hesitate in the second ban and directly eliminated the strong policewoman in the early stage.

"Mouse, it's almost time 2, get ready."

Not only did the two fail to kill Kennen under the tower, but C9's Prince rushed to a Q and poked out the passive of the Sword Demon.

"It's okay, there's no need. My EZ is not jealous. Lao Xiao, just watch me show them off."

Wawa asked with some surprise.

"Sure enough, C9's first ban was Zed. Has this hero been released in this World Championship? Why does it feel like he's always been on the banned list?"

Sure enough, I saw Jella and Varus walking onto the line cutely. Judging from their speed, it seemed like they were even faster.

"Fuck, they really caught us on the line."

After the hero selection is completed, both sides enter the Summoner's Rift.

"superior!"

Guozai was so angry at being shown off that his elegant and easy-going words were full of drops of sound.

"I remember it was released before, I think it was a European team, but the result didn't seem to be very good."

Without his passive ability, the Sword Demon no longer dared to act so arrogantly and just focused on killing his own wild monsters.

“…………”

Seeing the top lane open, Guozai couldn't hold back his murderous intent and wanted to attack Kennen in the bottom lane.

Without Guozai's interference, C9's jungler Meteos focused on counter-camping and map control, so naturally there would be no complications, and the Summoner's Rift saw a long-lost moment of peace.

Seven minutes into the game, the LG team's duo began to plot again.

"I feel like there's a chance, Ruoxia!"

The suppression effect of the four-and-a-half-star EZ combined with the third-level precision shot was highlighted in this game. Wang Hao's EZ reduced Jella to half health before he spent much mana.

"Get ready... go!"
