Cloud 9 finds revenge against Fnatic from worlds in their 2-0 steamroll to win Battle of the Atlantic for North America.

The first game of the final set in the Battle of the Atlantic kicked off with a teleport gank from Fnatic coming in against the duo lane Cloud 9, which was quickly turned around by Hai.  Without even utilizing his teleport, Hai and Meteos turned the gank around into a successful counter-gank that allowed them to take an early advantage. In exchange for an early, less valuable dragon from Fnatic, Sneaky was able to take top tower.

Cloud 9 kept up the early momentum and paved the way for clean tower and dragon kills, pulling an advantage in nearly every area of the map over Fnatic.  With xPeke's surprise Renekton pick falling behind and Hai extremely far ahead along with Sneaky's Draven becoming rich, Fnatic found no way back into the game and Cloud 9 took the first game of the set.

The aggression was the same in Game 2 but with less successful ganks in terms of kills.  However, Meteos swung the lead in his team's favor by getting the first kill over to Sneaky's Draven onto Yellowstar.  sOAZ quickly came back with a kill top, but sacrificed the dragon. Soon enough, Fnatic would find why North American LCS players kept Balls off Rumble every game they could, and they were swiftly punished.

While Yellowstar's engage nearly helped forge a comeback for Fnatic, Cloud 9 were far too strong and Hai was playing like the MVP of the entire Battle of the Atlantic tournament.  Cloud 9 were simply too far ahead and found themselves surprisingly steamrolling through Fnatic to win Battle of the Atlantic 5-4.
