After finding 3 easy wins against teams with a combined record of 3-7, Cloud9 faces their first major challenge in the 2022 League of Legends season. 100 Thieves will challenge them for the North American juggernaut slot in a rematch of the 2021 LCS Playoffs Semifinals where C9 saw the end of their run before Worlds.100 Thieves finished the first week of the season with a strong 2-1 performance; their only slip up being to FlyQuest. Cloud9 will look to stay undefeated in the Lock-In portion of the LCS season behind their returning veteran players Fudge, Blaber, and Zven.Everything fans need to know ahead of C9 vs 100T at League of Legends LCS 2022 spring splitC9 looked unstoppable in their previous 3 games, and their roster looks clean as Fudge has stepped up in the mid lane with Blaber continuing to perform well in the Jungle. 100T gave C9 a rough time late last year in the 2021 Summer Split and LCS Playoffs, but they've regrouped, reformed their team, and are starting to be predicted as a contender for Spring Champion.C9 Blaber@blaberFirst game back is a DUB. Super slow game and wished it was a banger but glad to be back playing LCS #c9win7:05 AM · Jan 14, 2022170721First game back is a DUB. Super slow game and wished it was a banger but glad to be back playing LCS #c9win100 Thieves should fire out of the gates today against Cloud9 after losing to FlyQuest in their most recent match. Both teams are looking to complete their rosters and find who they will start later on.PredictionWith both of these League of Legends teams displaying strong resumes after the first 3 games, it should be a close match without too much of a difference between gold, kills, and objectives. However, if 100T lets C9 roll through them like FLY did by coming out with a questionable draft, they might see themselves at 2-2 in a flash.C9 will take this LCS match before moving to tomorrow's games. It'll be a good fight, but C9 has shown more poise and promise so far.Connor@DirtyyCon@esports_kobe @TheeMarkZ @AzaelOfficial #TheDivelol This year it seems like TL, 100T EG, and C9 all can make it to worlds.
