Cloud9 win iBP Spring 2017

Cloud9 won iBUYPOWER Invitational Spring 2017 after defeating OpTic 2-0 in the grand final (16-8 on Cobblestone and 22-18 on Mirage).

The $16,000 online tournament kicked off with an eight-team single elimination bracket. OpTic, who used Jason "⁠jasonR⁠" Ruchelski as a stand-in, beat Misfits 2-0 in the quarter-finals while Cloud9 eased past Selfless with the same scoreline.

Although Jordan "⁠n0thing⁠" Gilbert & co. lost Nuke—the second map in the series—to Luminosity in the semi-finals, the North Americans won convincingly on Cobblestone and Overpass. OpTic, on the other hand, reached the grand final after beating Liquid 16-14 on two maps in the semi-finals.


Skadoodle was effective in the grand final 

OpTic and Cloud9 kicked off the grand final on Cobblestone where the latter secured a 16-8 victory. Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham finished the game with a 30:11 score and a 1.99 rating.

Mirage went to overtime as both teams picked up six rounds on their T-sides. Once again Cloud9 came on top to win the map 22-18. Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip & co. won the grand final 2-0 and took home $10,000.

Ok but this tournament literally means nothing. It was online, NA only, includes some of the worst teams in NA, many teams w/ stand-in's Cloud9 - shroud was using the aug OpTic - first weekend with a stand in who was also calling Liquid - using a stand in who played extremely poorly Luminosity - no stand in, no excuse just not that great compLexity - trialing a caller, trash team, bottom tier of NA NRG - ptr still making it onto invite teams reeeee Selfless - worst team in pro league by a country mile, dizzy can't even hang in premier, quickly begining to think Ryu has a brain the size of a peanut -Ryu Misfits - using a premier stand in who although understandably didn't contribute much at all
