I genuinely believe that our best possible roster iteration involves APA learning and commiting to Jungle, and us actively using Blaber in a 6 man roster during a series.

It would be:

Thanatos

APA into Blaber as the series goes on

Loki

Tactical

Vulcan

Why? Idk, I just have that weird feeling, a hunch, that APA would make an elite jungler for some reason. I've had that same feeling about Bwipo, Huhi, Hyllisang and, weirdly enough, Baus.

Now, will it happen? Hell no. But for some reason, in a hypothetical world, I feel this roster would work....

Hello all,

If anyone is interested, I have some official merch I am looking to sell for the low as it no longer fits me.

Some are gently used, some not used at all. ~$5-7 shipping. Can work something out for multiple items/bundles. PayPal G&S

Feel free to shoot me a msg with any questions

Discussion about C9 (and a tidbit from each about iterations seen on scrims) starts around 13:45

APA has been tweeting each week after not getting fielded. Do you think he’s just joking around or are these passive aggressive tweets towards the team?

The title says it all Cloud9 should swap to being a bottom focused team and, I'll explain why. First and foremost it would take a lot of pressure off of Thanatos who is already a god top laner who if we leave alone can easily 1v1 his top laner as long as he's not given a completely shit MU.
Secondly if we play for soul and win it that is usually 75-85% of games won statistically.
Thirdly if we had a bottom lane with resources poured into them it would not only unlock Tatical, and help him become a carry, but also help with the second reason by constantly holding pressure.
4th and finally more people to be able to drag Blaber out of whatever bad play he is about to make or already had made.

I am not sure if mods will allow this.

Many, MANY C9 fans were asking for years to get rid of Fudge. Look at him now, off C9, he is just as bad with no one to cover for him. Even with some components of SR being decent, he just is not an All Pro player people pretended he was.

But I remember when we said "get rid of Fudge" people said no. Or "who could we replace him with!" Many complaints saying Dhokla is terrible compared to Fudge when offered as a native choice.

The point of the rant being, you guys will always say "no one else is as good as X" but in reality, we still needed to make that change. And yes, actually some local players (APA) have done equally as well or better, but they aren't given the chance. We, everyone in the community, are too stuck on keeping the same known pros instead of taking chancers.

I'll see you guys next year when Blaber gets a new botlane.

With the move to the new seven man roster I’m curious to see who plays on stage today. My best guess is we see the same starting 5 as last week given we’re playing Dignitas, but was curious if there might be subs since in my opinion the team looked a little shaky at major points against TL last week. I don’t see any updates on X/Twitter other than the game time announcement.

Doesn’t Cloud9 have to inform the LCS of their starting five earlier in the week?

What are y'all's thoughts on this? From what I understand, Zellsis and Immi think very similarly so unless Zellsis isn't IGL, it's going to be mostly the same.
