It was not an easy road for the North American roster of Kyle "Torment" Storer, Mariano "SquishyMuffin" Arruda and Jesus "Gimmick" Parra in securing the championship victory during the RLCS Season 6 Grand Finals and the $200,000 grand prize. Having to go up against the previously undefeated Season 6 Rocket League team of Team Dignitas, Cloud9 was able to defy the odds and pull off the major upset to bring the RLCS title back to North America.
The Grand Finals of RLCS Season 6 capped off a very impressive loser's bracket run for the Rocket League team of Cloud9, as the roster had to win five straight elimination games after being sent to the losers bracket by We Dem Girlz in order to have a chance to square off with Team Dignitas in the Grand Finals. However, the Cloud9 Rocket League squad was able to do so with a whole host of dominating and close knit matches behind them on their path to becoming the RLCS Season 6 Champions.
With the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team of Cloud9 having been the first North American CS:GO team to win a Major title in the esports scene of Valve's first person shooter and the League of Legends team having secured a top four finish at the 2018 World Championship, the Rocket League team of the popular organization can now join its CS:GO and League of Legends counterparts in having Cloud9 be known as the organization that routinely does North America proud with its Grand Finals victory to claim the RLCS Season 6 title.
