C9 Disappointment. Always the same kind offered every year.

Why do they always do this? Can we at least get some Choke Artist skins to compensate? I figured they would lose this. For some reason they can't play against any EU team and do well.

They had a lot or rookies. They played so well, they made me proud.

But then the 0-3 choke that happens every year happens.

They can't lose with some grace. They can't lose fighting. They can't lose a series with at least one game.

They have to embarss themselves. They have to embarss their fans.

To be clear I am not calling them trash, or that they need to retire. They were rookie heavy this year and got farther than any other NA team.

What i'm angry and calling out is the random turret dive to give the entire first game away 5 minutes in.

What I'm angry and calling out is never having an answer to 1 champion/stragtegy. Last year it was SKT and Faker's Galio, they couldn't throw a ban at it "for some magical reason".

This year VIktor shut the entire team down.

They had pocket pickets for Aatrox already lined up.

They are so good at the draft, that them doing so bad either has me thinking they were paid off to intentionally throw.

Or Reapered takes breaks and stops thinking and maybe is drunk when it comes to the last half of the tournament.

It was bad enough they choked against TL in the Summer Finals. But I saw that as a boon of practice and calming nerves with lower teams.

But seriously, even though they do us proud every year by getting farther and doing so well.

Why can't they just for once put up a fight in the final game they play? Why do they always have to pretend their a little puppy getting their neck snapped and then tossed in a meat grinder?

Still, at least they were able to save face for NA and do well enough to say that I'm not ashamed to be American.

What do you mean disappointment? They got to semifinals... Thats far more than anyone expected.

Jesus, just be proud for once that C9 managed to carry NA up to this point, even if they didn't made it to the Finals. They overthrown(indirectly) SKT, Gen G, TSM, almost every other pro teams out there, and here you are, just whine & whine with unnecessarily super high expectation.

Seriously, nothing makes people like you happy at all...

If you think you're so greater than C9 themselves, then do it yourself.

I dont get it. Europe won Worlds once and almost every year had amazing performance. Last season Misfits get to quarterfinal and lose there. Entire Europe is proud of them and praises their success. NA never did anything on worlds, one of their worst teams this season goes to worlds, gets to semifinal, NA people are disappointed they didnt win and flame players all over their twitter.

Didn't watch the game but if you want to be disappointed at any team then be disappointed at Liquid, 100thives and be glad TSM didn't make it to worlds only to embarrass NA again.

This is so pessimistic that idk if you're even one to support NA or if you were just happening to wait for everything to end to have a meltdown.

Yeah they lost but seeing all they did sure as hell shouldn't establish their year as a big fucking failure!

Is it that hard to smile in the face of defeat? Yeah feel sad. Feel mad. But at least smile cause there were but so few adamantly behind C9 through all the mixed performances they showed the entire season!

I wouldn't say they were necessarily a disappointment. This year just like the previous years, I've had no expectations of them. They made it to semis which completely surprised me. Afterwards, I still kept 0 expectations. I predicted an EU and CN final during the quarter finals and of course, I was right.

i think the reason everyone is so upset about the 0-3 lose is not because C9 sucked so bad and 'threw' every game. Tbh I'm just really really disappointed because they actually could have made it further. Don't get me wrong. I'm more than amazed that they made it this far and even though i was rooting for FNC I wouldnt mind if C9 would've won because after all they did in the worlds, they deserved it. They showed us that they COULD do it but in the end they couldnt live with the stress, made really bad decisions in draft already and almost gifted FNC this win. I dont know. I just expected some more fighting, a bit more from C9 after everything they did in their previous matches. Nonetheless I'm hella proud how far they came, despite eeryone beeing against them in the beginning. Hope to see them in the worlds 2019. Now: lets root for FNC to bring the trophy back home!

You should be happy of having C9 always get the highest possible while your other teams like TSM get to be the joke of any international tournament. The only reason yu get represented more in Rfit Rivals it's because the tournament is made it so there HAVE to be tams in NA reaching high positions.

it's not a choke if you are the underdog, it's the logical result.

Anyone before this game would have call for aFNC win. C9 try their best with what they had but they were just to short to face fnatic (not a single role were you can say a C9 player is better than a fnatic one) Put that with the fact FNC was willing to target ban during first phase of draft, exposing themselves to stronger pick and C9 is in an even greater disavantage

In the end, there is little C9 could have done better (btw the "dive" first game was to not give assist to caps/broxah + bwipo) and the only point I'm a little sad about is that they didn't go for a lee sin pick second match to boost svenskeren in the jgl matchup

Just. Ban. Viktor. It is such a simple solution and guess what? It would have worked! You get five bans and you're wasting them on useless shit anyways.

NA team gets for the first time to semis, one that wasn't even expected to get out of groups, and you're calling this a disappointment? If anything it's a huge success (well, most of NA still suck, as shown by Liquid and 100T) and you should be happy for once. They were big underdogs for the entire tournaments, and while it was the Worlds of upsets, you can't expect that better teams will fail to show up every single game.
