C9 Throwing on Purpose

IncrediPhiLL·8/19/2017, 11:33:43 PM·3 votes·1,053 views

I've posted this conspiracy theory before, but just want to remind everyone that C9 does not care about the NA tournaments. They know TSM is gonna be given the trophy and there is no need to waste their effort to try and keep it from happening. Lol eSports has a small following that is dominated with a 75% fan base for one team. All NALCS is and ever will be is one big program run and decided by Reginald to appease the majority of the fans so they don't leave to watch something else.

C9 has shown this in their play in the past and reiterated it today. They purposely threw the finals series last split against TSM. It doesn't take an expert to see that. They put on a descent show of it. They purposely threw the series today. Shown clearly by their draft in which they simply didn't care. Only game they won is when DIG tries to BM and pick Nocturne. This wasn't a series today. It was a formality. They'll show up in the promotion tournament, as they've done the past 2 years.

And before you guys ask, NO, the moon landing wasn't faked. Get a new line.

Why In gods name would a team upset their fans on purpose? C9 lost fair and square to dig.

They kept going for team comps that don't have much protection for sneaky. No Ashe arrow, no lulu, etc. They kept letting lockdown champions like Maokai through. They never once picked Shen. They lost man.

Edit: lol. Some solution, reapered.

Ridiculous salt.

There is a reason C9 fell into the bottom half of the standings early in the split. They do not draft well. Jensen does not translate lane leads into team gains. Sneaky and Smoothie are not the top rated duo this split they have been in the past.

C9 just plain got outplayed and everyone just assumed they would roll on by like they have in the past. I expected with the way they closed out the split that they would take it, especially with a week off to prep.

I seriously hope C9 does not make worlds, because if they can't bring their best to the NA playoffs, they would embarrass us internationally with an awful flop.

Dignitas carried by an Ardent Censer Janna lmao

Sivir with nothing but shield being spamming on her and C9 couldn't even touch that backline because of Janna ult/more ardent censer.

No, C9 picked and banned like a bunch of idiots. Why let Mao through a ban phase when Dig has picked it every chance they could this entire summer split. Instead, they used a ban on Cassiopea and then put Jensen on a AD.

Normally, i say C9 has a great draft plan for teams but this is perhaps the worst Ive seen from them

Next you will tell me that napoleon was of average height, or that the holocaust didn't happen the way we are taught in school.

Was the moon landing faked by ancient astronauts?
