OH MY GAWD I am smiling so big right now. THat was the best game i have watched all year, for me at least. SO glad my C9 made a win WOW. That was just so amazing.

That being said... not sure if its wise to pick the viegar again. Anyone think it will get banned?

Yea! I love how they all the analyst say how they had basically no chance.. With hai shot calling they are a great team. Its not all about mechanics its about smart decisions and strategy. Something Cloud 9 has always excelled at when Hai is with them. GOOO Cl9!

It was probably the way they scheduled it (were probably expecting Cloud 9 to get destroyed), but notice how they can bother going into an in depth analysis when Fnatic destroys Invictus, but can not be bothered when Cloud 9 destroys AHQ.

Funny, it's worth talking about when the expected happens, but not the unexpected.

"That was AHQ fault" Well if you wanna be like that , IG draft vs Fnatic was absolute shit . So I guess we should discredit Fnatic too.

Downvote me if you want but it was completely ahq fault. Rengar played sooooo bad that fucked up his entire team. Toplane also didn't played so good. They didn't managed to snowball in a won lane with Darius. In addition there was braum that randomly goes into veigar stun for no reason.

Maybe people were wrong that they were a bad team but that victory didn't really came from c9

In all fairness, even as a C9 fan myself, I don't think they're going to make it out of groups. Sure, I'd be super happy if they did, and if they make it to quarters we can come back here and laugh at me. But glad C9 dumpstered the Roccat coach who thought they'd go 0-6

analyst are often wrong and their opinion is worth as much as ours.

tbh I dont get why they were talking down on hai's jungling that game though. yes he didnt make an impact in the early. but he made 2 game changing insec plays into a veigar stun which instantly won them 2 fights which snowballed the rest of the game.

AHQ screwed up. Also the one game Darius one (i think) they have an assassin mid so he isn't as easy to kite.

Regardless C9 is just a team you can never count out. They remind me of the hold Moscow 5 or Gambit Gaming back when they had Darien, Alex Ich, Diamondprox, Genja and Edward. They may not be the best team, but they demand the respect from the best teams.

Hai knows how to win, simple as that. I mean who remembers that ninja play he tried doing last year at worlds against SSB in the play offs.

Personally, While they defenitely deserve their spot, AHQ won't make the same mistakes they made in that game. C9 Will get absolutely destroyed by FNC and IG.

They may have deserved their spot at worlds, but they're not likely going to get out of groups.

Shro0mie10/1/2015, 11:08:17 PM2 votes

I think C9 is grossly underestimated. The only Reason I didnt put them making it out of group is

  1. Fnatic and Ig are really really strong.
  2. I want them to win worlds, so if i lose my bracket, at least my favortie team does well.

Theres alot of shit talking on hais jg but that midgame kick into veigs ult demonstrated world class mechanics and decision making. Also they have experience and world class players, it just took them awhile to find there niche, I believe they've found it and will bring alot more than expected. People forget what C9 has showed their capable of. They've been playing against the best in worlds for years and showed they can compete with the best. They are by far not even close to the F or D tier they got put into, Right now I thin they are right up there with Fnatic and CLG (actually I think they are better than CLG.
