The Alex "ALEX" McMeekin’s side defeated NiP in two maps to fix their quarterfinal match with Complexity. C9 recently did not do well in their Flashpoint2 debut but found their winning ways in their first match at Blast Premier Fall Showdown ever since Colossus came under the American banner.
C9 ensured NiP’s elimination from the Showdown after putting a great defense on Nuke that helped them come back to winning ways on the first map while on the second one NiP tried to overthrow Cloud9 by winning the second pistol round with the help of Tim "nawwk" Jonasson and took the map to 12-12 until Cloud9 came together in the last round to let the map end at 16-12. William "mezii" Merriman and Ricky "floppy" Kemery helped C9 end Vertigo in their favor even when NiP looked lethal by finishing the map at 16-14.
