Casters saying that Cloud9 is only strong because of their pushing strat

I don't understand this line of thought. Like, do they really not think a genius like Hai can't come up with more than one great strat? So what if teams start banning Azir and Tristana, 100% guarantee Hai and friends have something else up their sleeve.

"Cloud 9 is only good because they have a better strategy than their opponents."

I fixed it for the casters.

Like damn, I thought that was how a MOBA RTS was supposed to work.

A-friggin-men. It's funny how much hate C9 is getting from the desk... and yet we have yet to see any teams try and actually 1-up their strategy.

They are just salty for not believing in the apple pie

Shouldn't the other teams be able to counter that by now?

They should, but they're not. I don't know why.

But my point is, once teams DO start taking away C9's pushing champs, I'm sure they have another strat that's just as good. Casters are making them out to be this one-trick pony, but that's not the case.

Because there are other siege champ options. Tristana and Azir may be the best for it, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones. and banning both of them leaves open power picks. We can assume if they ban Azir and Tristana then Morde would also be banned, since he always is.

Yea. They are using an amazing team comp but they are rotating and pressuring the map well. They are simply out playing the enemy and abusing a strong comp at the same time. Its deadly.

Even if it's true... and it sounds like just more EU hate... C9's 1st game was THURSDAY... Was FNTIC not paying attention?

C9 has pushing comps that are also good at team fighting with azir/veigar and trist not to mention clg showed it with jinx too so you have to ban out at least two of these 4 just take away this strat that is a huge draft win for C9 who probably has another strat as well. (not to mention anivia and cait/sivir also probably work if they are in the champ pools)
