The Greatest Run In LCS History

In 2015 a battered Cloud9 are on the verge of collapse. Playoffs are nowhere to be seen and the season is in need of salvaging not saving, there's just no recourse for the latter. Competitive League of Legends was a different beast back then but not even the team's new mid-laner looks like they've going to power up quickly enough in their rookie split to keep C9 anything other than safe from potential relegation. However a qualifying system not used anymore sees Cloud9 given one last run at redemption. They can't win the split, or even do damage in the post-season but they will get one last chance before they re-evaluate for next year. What transpires is a story so unlikely and so unparalleled that it's etched into the memories of those who experienced it first hand. For those who didn't, you're about to witness the greatest run in LCS history and it isn't even for a trophy.
