Cloud9 won the i-League American qualifiers without dropping a single game, destroying their way through the brackets and finally Sneaky Nyx Assasins 2-0 in the finals, thus securing their ticket for the LAN finals in Shanghai.
The i-League American qualifiers are finished now, with Cloud9 proceeding to the next stage. Cloud9 seem to be in great form after their flawless run despite going up against a few of the top teams in the Americas like Not Today and Sneaky Nyx Assasins and hence proving without a doubt that they are definitely one of the strongest teams in the region. The current participants of the tournament are Vici Gaming and Cloud9 only. There is one SEA team, three Chinese teams and two European teams yet to be decided. The next qualifiers will be the European ones which will take place on the 1st of December.
This season of i-League will be hosted in a similar format to its predecessor, i-Leage Season 1. The prize pool will be mostly crowd funded with minimal prize money given by IMBA Tv. For this season, IMBA Tv promised to put in $16 312 and use 70% of the crowd funded prize pool as the final prize pool with the rest being used to pay the organization fees.
