FlyQuest swept Cloud9 3-0 on Saturday in the upper-bracket final of the League Championship Series Spring Split playoffs.
Cloud9 still has a chance to reach the grand final, as they were sent to the lower-bracket final to face Team Liquid next Saturday. The winner of that match will go on to face FlyQuest for the first-place prize of $100,000.
The Spring Split playoff champion and runner-up will be the North American League of Legends circuit’s representatives in the Mid-Season Invitational, scheduled for May 1-19 in China. The LCS winner heads to the MSI main draw, while the second-place team will compete in the MSI’s play-in event.
