League of Legends MSI 2021 Day 6: Cloud9 finally show their true colors by defeating DWG KIA, confirm their Rumble Stage spot

Day six of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational, featuring Group C, has concluded with some of the best clashes of this year's tournament.

Potential champion DWG KIA had a shaky start to day 6 of MSI 2021 as they bowed down to the North American representatives Cloud9, registering their first defeat of the tourney. The unexpected defeat, though, didn't stop DWG from securing the Group C top spot as they comfortably won the remaining games of the day, registering an overall scoreline of 5-1.
