WhiteLotus got a pentakill in the second game versus Gambit Esports and was also the first of the tournament. Affortunately, the team had an outstanding performance and managed to qualify for the next stage, where they faced Cloud9. Suddenly, Lyon lost 0-3 versus them, ending the dream to compete on the Worlds Main Event, but one more time being flattered by the Riot worldwide casters and players from other teams for their amazing way to play the game, specially WhiteLotus.
