Really C9? Really?

The first game was really stupid. They have DONE this combo before. How do you get outdrafted so hard?

Game 2 against SKT, teleporting and auto-losing. Doing something I think even low silver would know not to do. How!?

-_- I love C9, reason I even watch E-sports. But how in the blue h-e-double hockey sticks does being on a world stage prevent basic thinking of the most basic of basics. Basic like 1 + 1 = 2.

Now they need to win, and have SKT win to qualify for second place. They nearly have their fate out of their hands and I'm...really wishing they would lose for their terrible mistakes.

I am just flabbergasted on how they are floundering. Where is their confidence? Where is their thinking!?

At this point I think it would be best for them to give up and let AHQ win because they do NOT deserve to be here on the world stage.

UGH. Why does my team do this during the most important of times!?

AT LEAST this game they've changed up their draft.

At minimum, this particular game shows some ability to adapt to a new meta.

If they lose, they've still outdone TSM and IMT just through this draft.

Nearly have their fate out of their hands?... no... they have their fate in their hands.

Not at this point. It all depends on SKT right now. If SKT wins, C9 wins. If SKT loses, C9 has fate shoved back into their hands.

As much as I'd love for an NA team to win, I doubted we'd get anywhere near it anyway... our teams are too cocky, but don't ever show that they can adapt.

The secret to winning:

Draft Maokai as your only tank/initiation Make him build Knights Vow + Righteous Glory Never let him group with the team and force him to 1v1 a tankbuster build Jayce Ignore defending while Jayce kills every tower top and bot

Like everyone is going to remember the cringey teleport but lets not forget they gave up like 7 turrets to 1 champion that was in their vision almost the entire game

The problem was Faker flank threat and always slipping away while bang on another flank leading to potential wipe on 4 squishies made it a tough situation even for 5v4 along with the pressure of splitpush

All I have to say for all of NA.

Go SKT.

At least they didn't embarss themselves completely. But having to have SKT win them their spot is still crappy. Maybe they can start picking themselves back up and actually fight back.

I mean, there is still at least a tiebreak, so literally in their hand.

C9 could not have changed much else this day. They weren't going to beat SKT and they learned stuff from the first EDG game.
