I honestly never "seriously" watched Liquid when he was calling. But after watching his stream, his videos and now this major it's pretty clear the dude is extremely intelligent. Now we know he has the aim to back all of that up. I really hope he goes to a good team.

Yeah he's been a rock since the qualifiers. So happy for him to be shutting up the twelve year old thorin parrot squad; he's one of the nicest dudes in the scene and didn't deserve all the poo poo he was given.

He kind of did, though. Mind you, I'm speaking strictly of criticizing him as a player because like you said, he seems like a great person and chill dude. He didn't seem to be a particularly good IGL and his fragging was abysmal. All of this while being on one of the top NA teams.

I'm really happy that he gets to show everyone what he can do when he isn't concentrating on being an IGL because his performance has been very solid and he definitely had a big impact in Liquid's victories.

No, he didn't.

He was dire and deserved to be called out. He didn't deserve to be turned into a meme by loving Thorin. You forget that dude's been giving thousands of salty teenagers who lost skins a scapegoat. It's not a regular 'you suck bro'.

I did the math once and you'd average out like one drop every 200 matches or so, best case scenario. And that's assuming it doesn't let people get something twice. Sometimes the number of viewers has been so low it's almost hit a 1% chance per match, during poo poo nobody cares about.

I don't recall him being turned into a scapegoat (as in poo poo on in multiple reddit threads, made fun of repeatedly like JW, etc.). Certainly wouldn't deserve that treatment but like you said, he deserved to be called out.

I thought about it and I feel like C9 might drop FREAK and sign adreN. He can relieve n0thing of IGL duty so Jordan can be straight-up support or whatever else he does.

That would be a waste. We've seen that he can't IGL and frag at the same time.

Well n0thing can do the strats and adreN can do mid-round calls (which is what I think he's doing now).

They have a coach now. They wouldn't really need a dedicated IGL but someone to make solid in-game decisions. And they sure as poo poo don't have any veteran leadership on that team.

\/ True. The team honestly needs to be scrubbed. Unless C9 really, truly changes the team will never get any consistent results.

While signing adreN would be good for them, it won't fix the main problem with C9: lack of dedication. They can switch around as many players as they want to, but as long as they still have n0thing, shroud, and skadoodle they are hosed. All three of those guys are not into buckling down and doing what needs to be done in order to stay on top of the NA scene, and it really has shown over the past few months. They will just continue to focus on streaming and not giving a poo poo as long as they can pull a paycheck.

I think Liquid should release koosta and put Adren back on the starting lineup based off of tomorrow's results. Is koosta honestly a better LAN awper than adren? I doubt it. Plus you lose his rifling abilities and lan/stratcalling experience.

Oh. I thought he would every once in a while. I don't want streamers much so that's why I erroneously said that he did. Either way, shroud and n0thing are the harbinger of death for C9.

About 7500 drops have been happening every game. Average viewership has been ~800k. There is a very good chance you do not get a drop

At this point if C9 signed me it would be good for them. They are dead in the water if they don't make any sort of change, period.
