U.S. knocked out of League of Legends 2015 Worlds tournament

There is no joy in Mudville today as Cloud9, the sole remaining North American contender in this year's League of Legends Worlds tournament, has struck out.

We fought our hardest and fell to #AHQ in the tiebreaker game. #GGWP to them. Thank you to our fans who've stood by us, we'll be back.

Cloud9 lost all three of its games today, bested twice by ahq e-Sports Club from Taiwan. That means that this year's LoL tournament will be without a contender from the U.S. Our sister site SB Nation has details on the remainder of the schedule, which runs through Oct. 31st.
