Delicious Milk wins NA Cloud9 Nebula Qualifier Finals

Delicious Milk and SleetTFT earned the two qualifier seats from the North America Cloud9 Nebula Qualifiers last night for the Teamfight Tactics Galaxy Championship later this year. 

The Cloud9 Nebula Qualifier Finals featured eight of the best North American TFT players, each competing for a seat at the Galaxy Championship. To qualify, players had to finish in either first or second at the finals last night. 

• William “Agon” Zhu 
• Cottontail
• Marcus “M35S” Salinas
• Khalif “Khroen” Hashim (Team Cloud9)
• SleetTFT
• Delicious Milk GG (Team Golden Guardians)
• Brandon “Saintvicious” DiMarco (Team Liquid)
• Sphinx

After four rounds of play, Delicious Milk of the Golden Guardians and SleetTFT walked away with the qualifier seats. But the games weren’t easily won among such a strong lobby of players. Champions and comps played a role in the player’s victories but so did proper scouting, item crafting, and placement.

• Round one: Third place in Star Cluster Galaxy with 6 Blademaster (Fiora, Shen, Yasuo, three-star Zed, three-star Master Yi, Irelia, Riven, Ekko, and Thresh).
