This is C9's Split
I know many people were saying that last split, but I really feel like if they don't shine here, it might end up in a roster change.
After losing TWO finals in a row to TSM, with the last one being insanely close, they will be hungry as ever to win the split.
This is their time to shine
Jensen will hardcore pop off this split and be a MVP candidate
Pretty much, I mean same roster for going on a year or so (Contractz-Meteos), great team synergy, more than capable tier tier talents.
TSM with Turtle beat C9 - but at the same time subbing Impact out for Ray constantly only questions what are C9's goals and plans for doing so? Is Impact not wanting to stay on C9? Is he homesick spending already a better part 3 years in NA(5 Splits- now 6). I have heard rumors on these boards of a potential trade with Impact's name being on that rumor list.
Jensen has already been poping off for a year or so. 2016 Summer he was #1 in Kills, #1 in CS and had 15,303 in CS now a split later is still #1 in Kills with an 8 kill improvement, 40+Assist improvement from before and around a +1K in CS improvement and it was the same result if not could have been worse 2016 lost 3-1 to TSM winning game 1 and losing 3 straight and 2017 Spring could have very easily lost 3 straight games to lose 0-3 but did comeback to win 2 games but eventually still lose again to TSM for 3 times already in his short career at this point.
Has C9 already hit their ceiling (cloud) what more does this team have to do to actually beat TSM and win NA again, cause they've improved greatly but is it enough? 2016 C9 vs TSM was built around Impact(top die) and they still lost, 2017 vs TSM they were built around Jensen and still lost, and when the team was built around Sneaky he too has had his fair share of losing to TSM 2014 Summer Finals and 2015 Spring Finals.
Bad start for C9 tough. They gave Huhi Aurelion Sol and it cost them game 3 and the series...
And while Jensen played well, Sneaky and Ray played sub par tbh.
CLG played well tough (especially Aphromoo) and it was a nice 2-1.
