Valorant: Cloud9 Blue and new appearance at Last Chance Qualifiers North America

The first day of Last Chance Qualifiers North America took place on October 12. The second day of the tournament began on October 27. There are too many positive test results with the players' Covid-19, thereby leading to the fact that teams cannot continue playing in Los Angeles. Instead, the event returned to the form of online competition.

Cloud9 Blue is in the reconstruction stage to regain its position.

Cloud9 Blue is one of the teams that will launch on October 13. Young players are very excited about the first time playing on a big stage. Nathan “Leaf” ORF, 17, was looking forward to feeling the experience of that atmosphere. Meanwhile, the veteran “XEta” Seon-ho is equally nervous after a very long period of time not to go on stage. However, the sudden changes from the organizers have disappointed them all.

“It was bad. The whole team was extremely excited for the matches in Los Angeles. It was a long time ago, for both me and with a few other teammates, this was just the first time to play on their big stage. All were looking forward to that day.

The journey of Cloud9 Blue

Cloud9 Blue is one of the brightest candidates for the North American Last Chance championship, thereby winning the last ticket to represent Na to attend Valorant Champions. Until after the match against the version1 on October 27 closed, that judgment was still true. Cloud9 Blue overcame the team from Canada easily to reach the semi -finals of Thang branch.

“It's easy (laugh). But I'm just joking. I feel normal when a player leaves the team, confronted his old team and suffered a failure. This is as if the rule of the universe. However, in some miraculous way, I broke this rule,” UPCOMER Vanity quoted, who used to wear Version1 and attended Masters 2 Reykjavik.

After Version1, Cloud9 Blue confronted Rise, the team is considered “one of the best teams in the tournament”. The two teams struggled, and the game was extremely tense in the first match. At the Breeze map, Rise took 14-13 when entering the Over-Time series. Finally, the city where the player “Supamen” Le was in completely power out.

An hour passed, that time was not enough for the problem to be overcome. Rise and Cloud9 Blue continue to postpone their competition, this time as soon as the match is taking place. The next day, everything happened normally and Rise won 15-13. For a young player like Leaf, it is considered a strong interruption into the competition motivation.

After success with Version1, Vanity searched for a new challenge in Cloud9 Blue shirt.

“When a match took place, I felt that I was getting better and better. It was disappointing. If the match in the Breeze map went smoothly and closed in a normal way, we probably won,” Leaf answered above UPCOMER.

“It feels strange to fight. We just started, and then the whole team had to receive a failure. I didn't think we had experienced the feeling of playing on the Breeze map. Finally, it was still a defeat.

In the second match at the Ascent map, Cloud9 Blue has a spectacular backward despite being led by Rise 6-0. Vanity and his teammates won 14-12 before losing on the Haven map, the map was chosen by Cloud9 Blue itself. Rise seemed to turn into real monsters, and won the impressive 13-4 to push Cloud9 Blue to the losing branch.

Forward

When looking back at the past matches at the North American Last Chance, each Cloud9 Blue player realized what he and his teammates needed. Vanity wants the whole team to improve communication ability, while XETE believes the problem lies in the ability to make decisions. However, all have the same statement: Rise is the most difficult opponent of Cloud9 Blue and Supamen is the most difficult person to restrain on the Rise side.

“The rest is still very good, but Supamen proved to be mature in some competition maps. I think that pushing through the Viper wall on his Breeze map is really peak. Sometimes, such situations will take place.

XETE and the remaining members of Cloud9 Blue are trying to return to the big stage.

“I don't say they are better than Sentinels or Team Envy. However, Rise is a very difficult opponent for us. They have a lot of ideal battles. All the players have impressive thinking ability and they make random moves. It's hard to know why Rise can do so,” the 17 -year -old added.

Rise has dominated, but Cloud9 Blue will be determined to revenge if they meet the opponent in the next match. After defeat against Rise, Cloud9 Blue has not lost the opportunity to attend Valorant Champions. Vanity and his teammates will meet Gen.G Esports in the semi -finals of the loss, while Rise entered the final of Thang Branch to confront 100 Thievves, the team that represented North America to attend Masters 3 Berlin.
