Cloud9 beat Disguised 2-1 in LCS Summer
Cloud9 defeated Disguised 2-1 during the third week of the LCS Summer Split. The teams divided the first two games before Cloud9 controlled the decider.
Loki led Cloud9 with 16 kills and 20 assists. Tactical added 14 kills and finished with only five deaths.
Cloud9 won the opener in less than twenty-four minutes
The first game lasted 23 minutes and 27 seconds. Cloud9 finished with a gold lead close to twelve thousand. That early advantage reduced the number of safe areas available to Disguised. Cloud9 removed towers and reached the dragon pits first.
The fast finish gave Cloud9 the first game of the match. Disguised had little time to recover once the difference became large. A short opener did not decide the full series. Disguised responded by changing the pace during the second draft.
Disguised forced a much longer second game
Game two lasted 46 minutes and 47 seconds. It was almost twice as long as the opening contest. Disguised stayed organised through several late dragon fights. The team created enough space to protect its carries during extended fights.
The final gold lead reached about nine thousand. Disguised destroyed the nexus and levelled the series at 1-1. That result changed the match from a short Cloud9 win into a full best-of-three. The decisive draft then followed.
Cloud9 controlled the deciding game
The third game returned to the faster pattern. Cloud9 completed it after 25 minutes and 52 seconds. Its final gold lead approached fourteen thousand. That was the largest margin recorded during the series.
Disguised could not carry the second-game resistance into the decider. Cloud9 won the lanes and reached structures with more players available. The final nexus gave Cloud9 a 2-1 match victory. Two convincing games surrounded the long Disguised response.
Loki and Tactical supplied consistent damage
Loki recorded 16 kills, six deaths and 20 assists. He remained involved during both Cloud9 victories. Tactical finished with 14 kills and 17 assists. His five deaths were the second-lowest total on the team.
Vulcan led the match with 31 assists from support. Blaber added 28 while moving between lanes and neutral monsters. Those assist totals show the collective nature of Cloud9’s kills. The team repeatedly arrived with several players around the same target.
Disguised produced its best work in the longest game
Srtty led Disguised with eleven kills and eight assists. He also finished with the lowest death total on his team. SajeD added six kills and 16 assists, while Lyonz collected 24 assists. Their output helped Disguised extend game two.
The team ended the series with 28 kills. Cloud9 recorded 45 across the same three games. Disguised still took one complete game from the match. Its problem was the size of the deficits in games one and three.
The structure totals favoured Cloud9
Cloud9 destroyed 21 towers and secured four Barons. Disguised finished with twelve towers and two Barons. The winning team also took nine dragons, compared with six for its opponent. Those gains supported both short victories.
Disguised’s second game showed that it could compete during a long contest. Cloud9 answered by avoiding another extended finish. The final result improves Cloud9’s LCS record by one series. The team also gained a positive game difference from the 2-1 score.
The second game lasted longer than both Cloud9 wins together
Disguised needed almost forty-seven minutes to level the series. Cloud9’s two victories lasted about forty-nine minutes when combined. That unusual comparison shows how sharply the match changed. One long game sat between two much faster Cloud9 results.
The decider returned to the pattern from the opener. Cloud9 built a double-digit gold lead and ended before thirty minutes. Disguised proved competitive when the game remained balanced. It struggled when Cloud9 created a large early structure difference.
Vulcan finished with more assists than Disguised had kills
Vulcan recorded thirty-one assists across the three games. Disguised finished the whole series with twenty-eight team kills. Blaber added another twenty-eight assists from the jungle. Their combined involvement supported both short victories.
Loki and Tactical converted that support into thirty kills between them. Each also finished with a strong positive KDA. Cloud9’s team lines therefore show a clear connection. The support and jungle created opportunities that the two main carries completed.
The pace changed sharply between the three games
Cloud9 won the opener quickly before Disguised forced a long second game. The deciding game returned to Cloud9’s faster pattern.
Those changes prevented one repeated match script. Cloud9 produced large structure leads in its wins, while Disguised succeeded during the extended middle game.
