Cloud 9 Is the first NA to ever beat a Korean team during the worlds quaterfinals. Yes NA teams have beaten Korean teams during the group stage, but an NA team has never knocked out a Korean team in the quaterfinals until now. The links below are all worlds matches and you can see for yourself that NA has never beaten a Korean team in the quaterfinals. https://lol.gamepedia.com/Season_1_World_Championship S1 https://lol.gamepedia.com/Season_2_World_Championship S2 https://lol.gamepedia.com/Season_3_World_Championship S3 https://lol.gamepedia.com/2014_Season_World_Championship S4 https://lol.gamepedia.com/2015_Season_World_Championship S5 https://lol.gamepedia.com/2016_Season_World_Championship S6 https://lol.gamepedia.com/2017_Season_World_Championship S7

(I mean no hate/BM when I say this. I am just happy that Cloud 9 has finally done it. Please don't misunderstand what I mean)

Well. Its not like that Korean team was a good one. They already had problems in quali games.

Only Afreeca fans support their team and there aren't too many of them.

LCK fans don't consider Afreeca part of them due to its organization and its coach's handling of especially the Aiming situation this year.

Just about everyone hopes Kiin leaves the joke of a team.

But congrats C9, Afreeca deserved group stage exit but I'll take the sweep in the quarter-finals.

Isn't this only like....the second time a western team has even taken a SINGLE GAME off a Korean team in a bo5 outside of play-ins? Not series. Games. The west has been bending over that hard for that long

You mean more like, "Riot makes history by balancing the game solely in favor towards regions with inferior skills."
