Cloud9 Nebula NA Closed Qualifiers – Important Update 7/14

We’d like to address concerns voiced by both players and the TFT community around the Cloud9 Nebula NA Qualifier: We have faced many obstacles during this tournament, one we didn’t account for was the Patch release schedule – we acknowledge this and we apologize. To accommodate both Twitch Rivals and the Patch schedule, we will be making the following schedule changes:

• Wednesday, July 15th – Group Celestial – Move start time from 6:00PM PDT to 7:00PM PDT
• Thursday, July 16th – Group Darkstar – Move start time from 6:00PM PDT to 7:00PM PDT
  • Seeding for semifinals will be conducted immediately following the final round on Thursday, July 16th.
  • The semifinal group with the fewest amount of Twitch Rivals participants will play on Thursday, July 23rd. The other group will play on Friday, July 24th. The methods of seeding the semifinalists will not change and can be referred to in the Nebula Rulebook.
• Semifinals Group #1 will be moved from Wednesday, July 22nd to Thursday, July 23rd starting at 7:00PM PDT
• Semifinals Group #2 will be moved from Thursday, July 23rd to Friday, July 24th starting at 7:00PM PT

Accountability is a value we strive to uphold in everything we do, and so is growth – Thank you to MismatchedSocks for bringing this issue to our attention – we acknowledge and hear his frustration. Thank you to the TFT community for their patience with us as we strive to uplift competitive TFT and improve the player experience. Additionally, the semifinals process detailed in the “Cloud9’s Nebula NA Closed Qualifiers Set To Begin” blog post below will be nullified.

After a fierce month of competition the dust has finally settled and we have our list of competitors for Cloud9’s Nebula NA Closed Qualifiers, which begin today, July 8th at 6:00PM PDT! Please join us in giving a warm welcome to all of the contenders!
