NRG miracle: Ex-CLG LoL roster dethrones Cloud9 to claim 2023 LCS Championship

NRG, built from the fan-favorite former Counter Logic Gaming roster, has been crowned 2023 LCS champions after stunning reigning kings Cloud9 in a four-game League of Legends series in New Jersey this evening.

Many had C9 tipped as short-odds favorites heading into the Newark clash, especially considering they had swept NRG in three games a week ago. The now-2023 champions defied expectations in incredible fashion, bouncing back from a 33-minute game-one defeat to claim the organization’s first-ever League title.
