C9 Appreciation
Kudos to C9, I am very proud of you! Your teamwork, picks, playing your heart out...hold your heads up high and take pride.
I picked you to win but I mostly wanted you to take it five games and really show your strengths.

The only thing I appreciate about my favorite team, is that they CHOOSE to lose every single important game. Such as this worlds match, their MSI performance, and their throwing of the second half of the summer split. With faulty logic that is so inane that you have to question if they were paid by the Chinese to throw. You don't make -60 IQ choices as a pro player and expect to win. I feel that a fully randomly picked blind team would have been better than their shit draft. I would literally kill myself to restore SOME level of thinking for C9 in their game 5 if it would have made even a little bit of difference.
What do I appreciate about C9? No matter how much I support them, they can always outplay themselves, ALWAYS make the stupid choices, ALWAYS play Silver 3 solo Q type of games.
Their loss is EMBARRASSING as their fan. I feel like I should apologize to my brother for thinking they could even have a chance of winning. They never, EVER learn. I'm sick of putting my faith in a team that makes it their job to stop thinking.
Except they left up Galio to WE They played well but they should not forget that.
Jensen NEEDS to learn how to play a more supportive role, that last game of all things should be a wake up call to that
They may have not made it to semis, but came quite close. They had a good chance considering they were given the easiest of the 4 teams, and gave it a great effort. Sure is nice to see an NA team have some international success and bailout NA whenever TSM puts the reigon to shame every worlds. smh
Western teams did better than I expected and made their quarters very close despite being big underdogs in all of them. Respect.
Good run C9! All we ask is you play best! Sad you didn't make it to semis, but best team NA this year!
They really played great in the first three games, but for some reason, they where just not cloud 9 in the last two.
It was not just the drafts, but there overall play was just off, I have never been one to believe that a team would take money or its scripted, but the way they played in those last games? The Drafts?
That was not cloud 9.
They tried. We lost the hope.
Hopefully C9 is feeling utter shame at that draft in game 5 right now. How do you appreciate a team that throws game 5 at worlds? You dont. You ridicule them and make sure they know they fucked up hard and let down everyone that wanted them to win. No appreciation when they made an amateur mistake at a pro tourney.
I appreciate them for not being complete fuck ups, but it ends there. I love them, but the Game five draft was inexcusable and it was obvious before the game even started. I haven't been this pissed at C9 since I can't even remember when, and I've seen every one of their games since season 3 on. They played their hearts out, but letting the Gallio - Janna through, fucking inexcusable.
People are acting like this was somehow a huge improvement over past quarters performances, but it isn't. They lost in game 3 to fnatic. They went 1-3 against Samsung Blue, they got swept by Samsung Galaxy, and they went 2-3 against WE. Weighing competition they've basically had the same level of success/failure as they always have had. They should have beaten fnatic, they didn't, and they should have beaten WE. They should have lost horribly to both Samsung's and they did. WE is not a comparable team to SSB or last year's SSG, not in the least, and the only way I would be able to say they improved was if they managed to close out the series, they didn't.
C9 made an impressive series in this world. I don't understand why people flame so much on the draft in game 5. Yes, they made a big mistake but they performed really well throughout the entire 5 games. You can't make 1 mistake overshadow all the effort they put in this game. C9 put up a great fight against WE despite WE having superior teamfighting and macro plays. I am proud of them. Let's go C9!

It's the legacies that were on the line with this series that doesn't make me disappointed really. Both teams had something to really fight for and for it to have gone to a game 5 something I can't complain for, even if the ever infamous game of Protect The Kog'Maw has developed several new permutations.
