So I was watching Prime Time League...

And did I really see Phreak just trash-talk Balls? I mean I hate to come off as a C9 fanboy, but really when C9 fans are all rejoicing and glad NA isn't rolling over and playing dead for once, Phreak says this.

"Wow what an amazing play there from balls, he pressed R and clicked on a enemy champion 4 times, with mechanics like that no wonder he is Diamond 2."

All said with a sneering, sarcastic tone of voice.

Maybe I am being overly sensitive, but really, Phreak? Really?

He loves making jokes, he proved it this time again... you shouldnt really get annoyed at this or anything because.... its Phreak, he WILL make jokes with anyone either those jokes are offensive or not, he wants to entertain people and thats what he is doing.

It is more of a larger problem a lot of C9 fans are seeing, and if this is just me being paranoid let me know.

But it seems a lot of casters are trying to diminish C9's success. Like the whole analyst desk trashing C9 before worlds, making it sound like they don't even belong there, and then when C9 shows up, they are like, that's nice, but honestly, it is just because they are in a group where all 3 others teams are under-performing.

And then going out of your way to insult a player when he works hard to improve and have a really solid game topped off by a pentakill against the analyst desk's precious Fnatic. Just comes off to me as a unnecessary, slightly jerk move.

Maybe I am just a paranoid C9 fanboy, but it seems like the analyst desk just doesn't really like C9.

yeah exactly! I saw this on Reddit yesterday:

It grouped together what NA and other analysts/people were saying about their success and the "Cinderella Story" they've been having.

I've been a diehard C9 fan for more than 4 years as of September; and this is just what they do! Prove everyone wrong.

I did enjoy Phreak's joke, but after a 3-0 first week of Worlds, I'd say it was a tiiiiiiiny bit in poor taste.

He should've made fun of TSM ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I don't really see what the problem is here, though. He is doing so in more of a joking manner, since there is a lot more to the game than just your game mechanics.

Phreak has said before (in a similarly backhanded way) that he is a better Vayne player than (I think) Otter. He just likes trash talking players.

It might sound pedantic - forgive me - but poking each other with Baguettes might be fun but it's still food you know ;)

Essentially, that's what happened, right? He pressed R and clicked on the enemy champions 4 times, correct? Anyways, that was just a joke. Isn't Phreak known for his puns and satire?

Maybe Phreak is salty that while he could solo kill Ferbiven(did it twice), Balls will always, forever, have the pentakill vs Fnatic? Just picture that, even if Phreak was joking during the clip. Phreak most likely was joking during the clip. Don't put any undue stress on yourself by dwelling on this. I'm happy that C9 won, and in that fashion. Many others are as well. Use that thought to keep your spirits up. :)

You can't say hes wrong. Darius is one of the best champions to penta kill with together with things like Katarina just because you can spam R on low HP targets :P
