North America’s Cloud9 defeats Immortals to earn a spot in the Vainglory World Championships, coming to Singapore from December 14-17

Super Evil Megacorp, creators of Vainglory, the world’s leading mobile esport, crowned Cloud9 the winners of the Vainglory Summer 2017 NA & EU Unified Championship. Following a weekend of intense competition between the 12 best Vainglory teams from North America and Europe, Cloud9 defeated Immortals to take home the crown in one of the closest matchups of the weekend. The Championship was held in front of a sold out crowd at the Globe Theater in Los Angeles, where Cloud9 came out on top amongst the 11 other teams including Europe’s Mouseesports, G2 Esports, Dynasty, Team Qlash, Fnatic and SK Gaming, and North America’s Team Solomid, Immortals, Hammers, Nova Esports and Tempo Storm. Cloud9 will advance to the Vainglory World Championships later this year in Singapore on December 14-17 and will face fierce competition from the other teams across the world that have qualified, which are Korea’s ROX Armada and ACE Gaming, China’s Hunters, and Singapore’s home team Impunity.

The NA & EU Vainglory Summer Season Championship kicked off on Friday, as regional rivals went head to head in order to advance to Saturday’s intercontinental matches before culminating for Sunday’s semi and grand finals. Throughout the three days of competition Cloud9’s Gabe Villarin, Gabriel Villamariona and Joseph Samano’s aggressive style of play was too powerful, leading them straight to the championship.

Cloud9 will ride this tournament momentum into the Vainglory World Championship in Singapore from December 14-17. Teams from across the world will join them in the place where it all began!
