C9 adapts.....this is why they are always the last hope of NA.

Sneaky said that they don't know of a current counter to Cait, and so they take it for themselves, built around it, and took the win.

This is what TSM and Immortals did not do. They didn't watch their opponents, and use things they could have used.

C9 is the best team in NA. Period. Always have been.

People "adapt" to Caitlyn by banning her.

Everyone completely forgets Trist is a thing. People even complained that DL didn't pick his Trist that he looked good on.

Honestly, just stop picking STOP Ryze

Adapts to what? They had the same record as TSM both weeks. The only thing they adapted too was not having to play a tie break.

The amount of dumb bullshit you kids cry about is ridiculous. Competition is simple, the better teams win. End of story. Nobody wins exclusively because of a bad ref call, an opponent's misplay, or arbitrary shit like another teams win/loss record. They win and advance because overall they performed better. You idiots are in here crying about shit and trash talking each other over nonsense. Then you have EU fans that are shit talking like their own teams didn't just get shit stomped a week ago. Bunch of dumbass fucking armchair quarterback nerds (even worse than football armchair quarterbacks) who think they know better than these professionals who are competing against the best in the world at what they do. SMH just support your team and enjoy the tournament, stop getting your dicks hard over what region a team is from because that shit does not matter (and should not matter) at all to any kind of real fan. TSM fans cry like bitches too when their team loses. Get the fuck over it and stop saying you're their fan if you can't support them in a loss. Because you're not, you're fake as fuck.

You mean for two years running they've just not sucked as bad as two other teams flopping worse? That's really what C9 advancing the last two years boils down to, not any real adaptation.

TSM has always been a shame for NA, but people cheer them for no reason. I'm quite happy to see their reputation crumble this year, maybe they'll stop taking it easy because they (falsely) think they are the best in NA

They still had a bad 2nd week with more losses than wins so I don't know what you're on about.

Yup. C9 put sneaky on the Cait and Contractz on the Gragas. TSM would have stuck with the same things and gotten blasted. We know that because its what they did.

I just hope they figure out the pick and ban phase and do 4 things:

  1. Ban galio above all else
  2. If Contratz wants to play a jungler that needs a shen top, he needs to let shen be picked in the first 3 picks if he's let through. Otherwise they'll get a targeted ban in the second phase that is going to blow up their strategy.
  3. Pick Janna over Lulu whenever possible.
  4. DON'T GET BACKDOORED LIKE PLAT TRASH

Im really not a TSM or C9 fan, or hater of either, but when C9 goes twice to quarters on the back of better teams than themselves that to me just means they're on the same boat that TSM but luckier.
