Cloud9 swept FlyQuest 3-0 on Thursday in the upper-bracket final of the League Championship Series Spring Split, earning a berth in the grand final.

A 32-minute win on blue, a 35-minute victory on red and a 37-minute triumph on red sent Cloud9 through to the April 9 championship match. The result also assured Cloud9 of a trip to the Mid-Season Invitational.

South Korea’s Kim “Berserker” Min-cheol logged a 30-5-21 kill-death-assist ratio for Cloud9, while teammate and countryman Jang “EMENES” Min-soo wound up at 21-4-28. South Korea’s Lee “Prince” Chae-hwan finished at 10-12-12 for FlyQuest.

Golden Guardians and Evil Geniuses will square off on Friday in the lower-bracket semifinal. The winner will earn a matchup against FlyQuest on April 8 for a spot in the grand final.

The 10 teams in the top North American League of Legends circuit played every other team twice in the group phase. The first- through fourth-place teams then headed to the upper-bracket semifinals of the double-elimination playoffs. The fifth- and sixth-place teams entered the playoffs in the lower bracket.

The winner and runner-up in the playoff final will earn berths in the Mid-Season Invitational along with other teams from LoL leagues worldwide. The LCS Spring Split carries a $200,000 prize pool, with the champion earning $100,000.
