Cloud9’s CS:GO squad qualifies for Flashpoint playoffs
The Cloud9 CS:GO squad, in case you didn’t know, features two South African players (Johnny “JT†Theodosiou and Aran “Sonic†Groesbeek, Joshua) as well as a South African coach, Tiaan “T.c†Coertzen. The team has been playing in the Flashpoint CS:GO tournament, fighting their way through the group stages.
Cloud9 group stage results
The group stages for Flashpoint took place in a two-phase, double-elimination GSL-style format. Basically, this means that there were two group stages, where teams accumulated points. The teams who ended up in the bottom four after both group stage phases completed have now been eliminated.
Cloud9 did exceptionally well during the group stage for Flashpoint, which finished up last night. The team won their first group stage without dropping a single match. In phase two, Cloud9 lost against Envy in the first round, but came back swinging, taking down CPHF and Envy, to meet HAVU Gaming in the final round last night.
Unfortunately, Cloud9 lost 2-0 to HAVU Gaming in the second phase group finals. However, Cloud9 still managed to secure one of the top seeds going into the playoffs, placing fourth in terms of points.
Flashpoint playoffs
The Flashpoint playoffs will begin on 9 April 2020 at 19:00 SAST. It will definitely be something CS:GO fans should not miss out on, as the tournament features a whopping $1 million in prize money, which is roughly R19,300,000 at the current Dollar to Rand exchange rate.
Cloud9 will face off against Gen.G Esports at 22:00 SAST.
You can watch the matches live on the Flashpoint Twitch.tv and YouTube channels.
We wish the team all the best of luck in the Flashpoint playoffs. South African fans will no doubt be cheering on the team.
