Prediction for the match between Cloud9 – 100 Thieves
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the American LCS 2022 championship. We are in for a confrontation for the right to reach the final. This will be a battle between two representatives of the upper bracket of the tournament Cloud9 and 100 Thieves. It is worth clarifying that the loser will have one more chance to fight for the right to reach the final.
Form Cloud9
The team has come a long way this season. The team had a chance to get out of the very first round of the playoff stage and now they are playing in the semi-finals. To be honest, I didn't expect such results from Cloud9, in terms of property it concerns their last meeting, against Evil Geniuses. The victory over the main favorite of the season is quite a significant event in the history of their matches. Now they have to fight with other contenders for this title - 100 Thieves. Considering how devastating the score Cloud9 ended the confrontation with EG, we can safely say about their chances of winning against 100.
Cloud9 squad
Among the members of the line-up, I would like to highlight the performers of bot-lane Berserker and top-lane Fudge. During the playoff stage, both players managed to be noted among the MVPs table of the tournament. Their KDA is 4.8 and 3.5, not to say that their performance is much higher than that of the rest of the team. On average, the team's KDA ranges from 3.5 to 6.8, the highest being in the mid-lane position played by Jensen.
Heroes Cloud9
Among the most successfully used champions, the following five can be distinguished: Kennen/Trundle/Orianna/Sivir/Renata Glasc. Almost all of these champions have a high win rate and a good KDA. The exception here is the top-lane character Trundle, whose win rate is not very high, but the KDA is quite good.

Form 100 Thieves
During the playoff stage, 100 Thieves had a chance to play only once. Thanks to their successful performance in the group stage, they immediately made it to the second round. In general, they had a decent season and there is no reason to doubt their form. However, their opponents show incredible progress, which calls into question the favor of 100 Thieves. In their last meeting, 100 Thieves had quite a few problems against Team Liquid. They barely managed to snatch victory, as the match rushed back and forth.
Lineup of 100 Thieves
In the group stage, two players made it to the MVPs of the tournament. They were top-lane Ssumday and mid-lane Abbedagge. Both participants have good KDA scores, 5.1 and 4.3. The lowest results in the playoff stage were shown by jungler, Closer, his KDA is 2.7.
Heroes 100 Thieves
Of the most successfully used champions, the following five can be distinguished: Aatrox/Vi/Ahri/Seraphine/Senna. On almost all heroes except Ahri, KDA and win percentage are quite high, so we should expect them to appear in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Exodus
Given the rise Cloud9 is currently on, I want to make a choice in their direction. The team showed us that they are able to defeat the most formidable opponent, because they have every chance of winning. As for 100 Thieves, their last performance showed a rather dubious result, they hardly managed to achieve victory. Therefore, I don’t want to put high hopes on them, and contrary to bookmakers, I recommend that you give preference to Cloud9.
Outcome: In the confrontation of the semi-finals, the Cloud9 team will become the winner.
