Fudge Shines on Gwen

Cloud9’s top laner, Fudge, delivered another outstanding performance on Gwen, a champion that has become his signature pick. Fudge finished with a KDA of 6.5, boasting a final line score of 6/2/7 in the match. Over the past three games, Fudge has shown exceptional skill, accumulating a total score of 19/4/18. His consistent performance has positioned him as one of the most impactful players in the LCS recently.

Fudge’s MVP Potential

If Cloud9 can maintain a winning streak and regain their top position in the standings, Fudge could emerge as a strong contender for the LCS MVP title. His growth and improvement in various aspects of the game, including teamfighting and side-laning, have impressed his teammate, Perkz.

Playoff Challenges Ahead

Although Cloud9 has secured a playoff berth, their final five games pose a challenging task. With TSM and Evil Geniuses on the horizon, Cloud9 needs to maximize their wins. While their victory over 100 Thieves narrowed the gap in standings, there is still a possibility of finishing as low as fifth place in the regular season. The defending champions must continue their strong performance to secure a favorable playoff position.
