Hai should have gone back to mid

As you may or may not know C9 Meteos has stepped down from Jungle and was replaced by Hai who came out of retirement, C9 however went 0/2 in this week and I believe they could have got better results if Hai had gone back to mid. Based on his INDIVIDUAL performance he looked pretty good but the team suffered from other reasons, the same reasons they suffered the whole split, because of Incarnation. I know that may sound like I'm scapegoating him, but C9 was a second place team without him, they're a 9th place team with him. Hai would have been more effective because in his games he didn't seem too out of practice and his shotcalling had a noticeable positive effect. The reason C9 have struggled without him is lack of shotcalling, Meteos wasn't a good shotcaller, but at least he's playing well in the jungle. Incarnation has been playing very poorly thus far, and seems to have caused the problem. So why not remove the problem while keeping Meteos in the jungle at the same time? The tried and true original C9 roster seems better than the new one at this point.

I know the standings show Cloud 9 in ninth place, but with TDK getting their actual roster they look a lot better than Cloud 9 does. I think Cloud 9 might end up being auto-relegated this split.

I don't think Hai can play mid due to his wrists, but I agree that Incarnati0n has not worked out for the team. Losing Meteos is huge as well because he was still top 3 NA jungle. I think the team is broken and they might have to completely start over now.

Yep.

Although incarnati0n has been getting better as the split progressed, he just needs more map pressure, all he does is stay mid and farm for most of the game. Hopefully they can work something out soon.

If they DO get relegated.. either auto or by losing the series, I wonder what will happen to Sneaky. C9 could be in real trouble.

Yes. They beat Dig. Then almost beat TSM. Then laid a big fat egg against NME.
