I feel bad for Pob, all he wants to do is play on a team with some CC and front liners

edit: while i am glad that C9 went to worlds because they have looked really good, I still wish IMT had gone in CLGs place, even if they both look like poo poo compared to TSM/C9.

Agreed. 2nd and 3rd place should be decided in the gauntlet.

I'm looking forward to C9 pulling their usual trick of building high expectations with some impressive wins and then loving up so hard you can see the tears on lemon's notebook from space.

It's not that they hosed up, it's that they had no depth to their champion pool except on Sneaky and Jensen so they put all their effort into practicing the one comp they could play well. Once the other teams adapted to that comp they were finished. The current C9 doesn't have the problem except maybe on Meteos?

Monte should have garnered support from other casters before taking it to social media. Instead he went off half cocked and support from the community is tepid or non-existent.

Regi played Riot like a fiddle and you have people treating a high-level dispute between managers over how much of a controlling share they get like it's some kind of Glorious eSports Workers Revolution.

Epicskillshot is streaming S1 Worlds and having never played or watched competitive back then it's pretty great. Doublelift is a support, I can only recognise about half the champs from thumbnails, and TheRainMan is playing Teemo for TSM.

I think improving the jungle position by +100 DPM was worth reducing the ADC role by -400 DPM, thats a trade you take every time when you're liquid stebe

Then you top it off by dropping the jungler in exchange for +/- 0 Locodocos

I'm pretty sure someone from...I want say to CLG but I don't remember (not a player or owner at any rate) made some kind of comment about "the silverback patriarch is angry" or something to that effect aimed at Regi.

C9's performance comes down to how well Meteos does which sucks for them because he peaked like 2 years ago and doesn't appear to have any desire to improve.

Typical Pubbie
May 10, 2011
For C9 to have any hope at worlds Smoothie must take on the mantle of Hai Hai Lam and spend every second post-laning phase telling Meteos where to go and what not to do. Jensen needs to do the same except during the laning phase. Impact solo kills everyone and Sneaky welcome to my butthole weaboo bitch cummies jerk off in the bush.

Those C9 comms are embarrassing. So much useless chatter on a team with a top laner who doesn't speak english well. It wouldn't surprise me if Impact's communication problems are due in part to him tuning out the bullshit. Meteos sounds like he's 12.

It says a lot about NA that a team that has a jungler who retired because he doesn't like being stressed out by serious games and a bunch of memers who clog up comms is top three like what, four years running? TSM needs to sell whatever secret method they used to get a good local player like biofrost to the other orgs and rescue NA.

E: also when they didn't have Meteos they had hai "please let me retire I beg you" lam in jungle

Remember when Link had to sub for Hai and he said it was odd playing with C9 because no one talked? It wasn't always like this!

Signaling to your team mates that an ability will be ready in 5 seconds is effective use of comms. It's everything else that's the problem. I mean I guess you could say CUM SHOT is indicative of a distinct lack of esports professionalism but it's really a minor thing.

never expect c9 to do anything good

and you will be rewarded

edit: I think C9 will do well against FW. Their top and bot lanes both look composed against SKT. Meteos didn't play bad; his midlaner fed and his side lanes were pushed out most of the time. C9 is good, Jensen just needs to put a lid on the poo poo talking for the rest of Worlds.

Froskurin is Jatt levels of mediocrity with a questionable sense of humor. If she were a man she would never stop getting poo poo for her Tristana comment. People would say all manner of horrible things about her like they do Jatt/Riv/Chinstrap/Qumshot and no one would bat an eye. On the other hand Twitch and Reddit are more than willing to compensate for this with an endless stream of misogynistic bullshit so I'm glad she's casting and I hope Riot brings her back for future events.
