Doubling Down on C9 Dissapointment

StonePlatypus·Aug 26, 2019·1 votes·1,544 views

I just wrote this giant rant, spent twenty minutes typing how angry and sad I am that C9 didn't even try.

I think I'll just sum up my entire rant in three sentences.

1: LCS is potentially rigged, definitely boring, and their "massaging" of Double Lift and his ego make for truly terrible broadcasts. 2: If C9 doesn't Top 4 worlds, they literally have no "Niche" to attract fans. Are they the team that wins? No. The team that is cool? No. The team that has star power? No. If they can't make an amazing showing at Worlds then they literally have no point existing. Give the LCS spot to some HUNGRY players wanting a title. 3: Double Lift has boasted, bragged, and glorified himself on camera, with the help of the LCS. A certified bully endorsed by Riot. They literally give him spot light to talk trash and put down other people. Hint: It's not fun watching some smarmy dakkhole massage himself on camera by putting other people down.

The LCS champion title doesn't belong to someone who doesn't deserve it. C9 doesn't deserve it because they simply weren't good enough. They can't just give the award for a team that didn't win.

We get it, you are a C9 fan and you are mad that they lost but giving an award for pity is pathetic and no player wants that.

Give the LCS spot to some HUNGRY players wanting a title.

Sure if they are good enough to win it. This is not a charity. I get it that americans these days think everyone is equal and everyone is special and everyone should get everything someone else does even if they don't actually deserve it. But guess what, everyone is not equal. That's just a fact that can't be escaped. The award is given to people who deserve it, not to the ones who want it.

Even if somehow C9 as an organization was removed, not like another organization could step in with a magical roster of brand new players that will be competing instantly in the Top 4. Just not going to happen. You could argue maybe the leadership and coaches of a new org would have more hunger, but you'd think C9 would want to add NA trophies to their game, since placing higher than the rest of your region at World's gives you no real prize.

And neither could C9. They have has veterans in the roster every time. You could remove c9 as an org and place those same players in some other team and their performance wouldn't differ that much. The org is not the determining factor there.

As a side note, sneaky does look like he doesn't care about he results that much and many of their players seem to think they are better than they are. Being hungry for titles and success is good but they also need to put in the actual work and effort to make it happen and they really aren't doing that. No one in the NA is.

I read you post and I understood it completely.

If you meant something else by your post than what you actually wrote in it, that's your mistake and it's your fault if people misunderstand. I will never apologize when there is nothing to apologize for.

Not even mad. You just straight up legit didn't read what I wrote.

It's very clear you are mad. Your last sentence confirmed it.

I don't know what interview you watched but Doublelift had kind things to say about C9 in the interview after the game. He also refused to say they were going to smash at worlds saying he's said that before and it didn't happen so this time he's not going to do that and maybe it will. Actually doublelift didn't talk much trash. In fact, about the only BM was his little dance taunt in game 5 after he killed Sneaky. It was Nisqy talking the trash, and Jensen took out that trash. Speaking of Trash, The Tweet that will live in infamy.

C9 "Jensen is finally giving us a LCS title"

Hopefully it takes you right to the thread.

Secondly, LCS isn't rigged. LQ is the better team. Teams can get close, but when it really matters, TL just plays better.
