I salute you C9

Your fans support has been admirable, and I have doubted you throughout. However, you just stick w/ it and look like you could make it out of groups. Good luck against Fnatic, I'm looking forward to that game, and that was not something I thought I'd get to say as an NA fan when worlds started. :D

Gotta love how the entire desk was against C9 day 1, now day 3 and everyone is seeing C9 actually as a very high threat. C9 beatting the odds and the hype. I really havent been a fan of any team (fan of specific players but no teams), but C9 just might get my vote now because I am impressed.

I like hai but I've never really been a c9 fan. I think that is part of why I have been so impressed. I wasn't a fan so I didn't have many expectations from them and they have really shown up and earned respect. Like I figured if rookie and kakao got ahead it would be gg for c9 and c9 won anyway. I think that was sort of what got me to consider that they are actually a team that really has improved and deserves some respect for how impressive their turn around was.

It's funny how Yamato said they'd go 0-6 and Monte said they were a terrible team and now they're the only undefeated team in their group. The analyst didn't even bother to eat their words and talk about the C9 vs AHQ game cause they were all so sure they'd fail lol.

I've been a fan, but I really didn't like the roster change, and I wasn't a believer, and I had no idea what they were thinking. But Hai jungle has worked better than I could have imagined, given just barely enough time to make it to Worlds in the first place. I've wanted them to win, but I've bet against them every time so far. Coming in, they were a huge unknown who had just finally blossomed, playing against teams that have been gelling all season. Then AHQ happened. Well, that looked like fluke, or maybe an isolated case of the notebook striking hard in the wake of a new patch. And then IG, and now they only need to win 2 of the next 4 to advance. Fnatic looks pretty much 50/50 now.

It's so weird to see C9, CLG, and Origen be relevant at the same time.

It's weird to see CLG be relevant :P

Seriously though, I'm glad they sorted their internal issues and found a roster that can get along w/ each other.

It's super-weird seeing C9 be relevant at worlds. Even when they were doing well, at Worlds they just played spoiler a couple times with split push Zed or something. Now they just need to win 2 out of the next 4 to advance. Could go either way, but I'm hoping they keep it up.

I'm kind of hoping good Fnatic and good IG show up for their games w/ C9 from here on out. Not bc I don't want C9 to win, but I want to see them win a really good game. The game Fnatic played today was kind of like WTF, did you revert to you level of play at the start of the LCS split?!?! I really hope they have just an epic game w/ c9 tomorrow.

C9 v Fnatic: that was a pretty tense game. Fnatic was winning fights, and C9 was winning rotations. I think in the end, Fnatic took it for granted that they could win a straight 5v5, so they took the first one they could get. C9 did look pretty vulnerable, but their better rotations were slowly turning the game back around again, and Fnatic didn't like it. So Fnatic decided that they wanted a game-ending 5v5, and they got it. What a scary engage, but C9 had their bases covered after all.

EDIT: Also, I was pretty amazed by the strategy of Hai's jungle tank fight. They lost an inhibitor for zero kills, but the trade bought them the slim advantage they needed for Baron. That was really scary though.
