After a tiebreak against Cloud9 today, DetonatioN FocusMe made their name in the history books as the first Japanese League of Legends team to qualify for the group stage at the World Championship.
C9, on the other hand, suffered an unexpected loss to LCL's Unicorns of Love earlier today. This win would have made the tie situation unnecessary, but they stumbled on many occasions throughout the day. The LCS team couldn't snowball their success yesterday.
Despite being almost 9 gold behind at 20 minutes against the DFM C3.000, who appeared to be a devastating force in their many teamfights in Summoner's Rift, they used their superior teamfight abilities to take down their opponents.
This is a huge opportunity for LJL fans, as DFM is now officially locked in a spot in the group stage of the main event. They will have to wait for all their playoffs to finish before they know which group they will enter. As for NA fans, they now have to wait and see whether C9 will face off against RED Canids or PEACE.
Galatasaray Esports vs. With Beyond Gaming, you can catch the first qualifying match of Worlds 06 as the event continues tomorrow at 00am CT.
