Watch the story of the perhaps most iconic Major win in CS:GO history.

North America had never won a Major trophy before and was not dubbed as favorites before the 2018 Boston ELEAGUE Major. But Cloud9 set out to change history and lighted up the tournament with a crazy run to take the title.

The new Cloud9 team plays tonight at cs_summit 7.
