Who will buy C9 Challenger [Theroy]

ok first dont take me too seriously but here is the theory...

So Hai was intentionally cryptic about his future... not saying he will return to his cgo position in the cloud 9 organization and he has been quite vocal about not playing anymore...and never mentioned any streaming future like many retirees peruse... so what is he going to do and why not give any hint? Obviously he will stay involved esports...

so Hai is being so secretive becasue he's gonna buy C9C's LCS spot from Jack and create Cloud 10 LCS( which is also why he is hinting that Lemon and Balls will stay) :P

probably wishful thinking but it's a funny scenario to think off :P

Wasn't there someone who was very serious about buying the team that became Phoenix1 and had the rug pulled out from under him? I expect him to be a possible buyer. Whomever it is, I hope they buy Goldenglue from TLA and add him in place of Hai's empty position. I think of all the mid players currently in Challenger, he deserves a spot in the LCS.

For me, things will become clearer after sunday when we know whether Misfits or Schalke will take the final EU spot. If Misfits somehow manage to lose the series despite being favorites, Monte could theoretically sell his EUCS spot and back a group to buy the NALCS spot, not becoming owner until his ban is over next may (you know, assuming he wants to "double dip" this one). Outside of that, the options are quite thin outside of Challenger teams wanting to "move up" or some big NA sports franchise looking to do what schalke did.

The issue there is that kind of under the table dealing is part of what got Monte temp-baned in the first place. And as much as I don't like his arrogant attitude most of the time, I can say he's certainly smart enough to not try something even remotely similar to that lest his temp-ban becomes permanent.

While the possibility is small (as I doubt Monte would want to dabble with any sort of NA crap after the renegades thing), Riot did say in his ban that he's not allowed any riot-sanctioned roles (which basically consist of manager/owner/head coach), but did not specifically say that he's not allowed to back a team, hence why he's still allowed to somewhat control misfits. Of all the options out there, this would definitely be the most interesting one though as the eye for talent he has is clearly top notch and is one of the few people who could realistically turn that spot into anything other than a "probably going to be in promo tournament next summer" spot.

that is possible... but still Jack owns that team atm he could cut Hai a deal and sell it to him on the cheap if he keeps the cloud name hence cloud 10 and then Lemon and Balls kinda get to stay on Cloud 9 (Keeping what Jacks philosophy of saying that he likes to keep his ex players under the cloud 9 name and this is the closest he would get to it) :P
