Cloud9 qualifies for ESL Pro League Playoffs Spot

In the playoff bracket, they compete against other teams like Natus Vincere, Vitality, and FaZe for a straight entry into the quarterfinals. Vladislav "nafany" Gorshkov and company had a hit-and-miss first half of 2022. The PGL Major Antwerp and IEM Cologne's inability to advance to the playoffs damaged their victories in the Funspark ULTI Finals and IEM Dallas, with the latter sending them into the player break on a depressing note. 

Abay "HObbit" Khasenov, Dmitry "sh1ro," and Timofey "interz" Yakushin have all won a series for Cloud9 in their first competition of the new season. Timofey "interz" Yakushin hasn't lost a map yet in Malta, and Abay "HObbit" Khasenov and Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov have each won a map. FURIA and Liquid, who each have two wins, are in a strong position to join Cloud9 in qualifying from Group D.
