C9 and the Analysts Desk

Nimmer·10/4/2015, 7:34:17 AM·6 votes·748 views

Has anyone else noticed the blatant lack of respect on the analyst desk for C9? I feel like Zirene legitimately had to stick up for them yesterday. The rest of the casters seem to have no issue recognizing C9 is actually really, really good. But for some reason the analyst desk, especially Monte, do not give any credit to C9. The ONLY thing Monte will say is that Hai is a great shot caller, despite the fact Sneaky and Incarnation have been winning their lanes in almost every competitive game for months. It's not just Hai being a master puppeteer, guys. Sneaky and Incarnation are arguably the best in their role in NA (which is proving to be at least a mid-tier region). Honestly, C9 is a more convincing pick than CLG right now based purely on Worlds performances.

Tl;dr Where is C9's respect?

Didn't Incarnati0n die 1v1 to Rookie though yesterday? Not trying to take anything away from your point, I also think that C9 is underrated and that Sneaky and Incarnati0n are great players, both in lane and in teamfights but saying they always win their lane is not true.

Analyst do good... u dont change anything cuz of 2 best of ones... heck even AHQ could get a win vs Fnatic, does that mean AHQ is best now? U can change your view on teams after groups but not after 2 best of ones, also teams definatly underestimated C9 and might now wake up ull never know.

In the casters opinion it is in fact better to not just jump on c9 and overhype them, 2 best of 1s doesnt say anything yet... what mostly matters is the 2nd week and end of groups.
