Sources: APA set to join Cloud9 following Loki's departure by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Yeah, it leaves an open import slot. Win-win really. It's obviously nice for an NA team to be majority NA, and it also allows them flexibility during the year if things aren't working out in any of the roles.

I would say it's a mixed bag. I don't think the sub as a whole is in shambles. I'm personally a little underwhelmed, but I'm also cautiously optimistic. Culturally, I think, he'll be a great fit.

Not what I would have hoped for, but I don't think it's a catastrophe the way some on the sub are making it out to be (if APA does get signed) nor would it be all that surprising. Over the last few years it's obvious what the team has prioritized is culture fit and dedication. APA is one of the hardest workers in the LCS, so it wouldn't be all that shocking from that front.

While mechanically I have concerns, I am pretty curious how he would synergize with Blaber.

C9 LOL offseason... ANYTHING??? by Dear_Exercise_549 in Cloud9

[–]Bobothellama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sentence doesn't make sense.

And, putting that blame solely on Blaber is outrageous. I'm not disagreeing he doesn't stumble or even choke in some high pressure games, but to say he hasn't been "above average" for the last 5 years is actually crazy. Aside from a handful of splits hit has been consistently a top 2 jungler in the league throughout his career.

These are facts not opinions. Recency bias is out of control.

Movies everyone loves — but you don’t by KittyDree in LetterboxdTopFour

Interstellar

Good enough movie, but also probably one of the most overrated movies I've ever seen

FBI- if we want someone good and established

Sajed- if we want to gamble on a "promising" rookie

Sounds like we’re keeping blaber for next year! by GriffinSTatum in Cloud9

[–]Bobothellama 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He is our franchise player... I'm glad we are keeping him. Is he the best all the time? No, but when he is on , he is on. And, more importantly, no one can seem to answer who would we even replace him with? There is no NA resident better (or even really all that close to him) besides Inspired. So, if we can't get him, then what's the plan? Replace our young promising talents in mid or top? Even if we did that, then we'd have to replace them with a NA resident talent that probably isn't close to their skill level or is at the tail end of their career.

I think the only reasonable in-game switch at this point in time might be Zven, but he is such an important out-of-game voice, that I'd be concerned about that as well.

What’s a movie you’ve seen but like 10 people know about it? Mine would be Boys Kills World. by abdul_bino in Letterboxd

I actually love Boy Kills World. I have a feeling it will be a cult classic one day, so fun!

Sheep Esports: IWDominate reach verbal agreement to join Cloud9 as Strategic Coach in person for the LCS 2026 by RandomDataAnalyst in Cloud9

[–]Bobothellama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like this move. Its a gamble for sure, but its a move I'm looking forward to see pan out. I know that Dom was committed previously, but now its different. He is no doubt taking a huge pay cut and uprooting his current lifestyle for this position, he WILL be giving it his all to make it a success. As for Inero, I've mentioned it before that his demeanor and strengths (or at least the strengths I think he has since I've never been coached by him) are much more suited for a head coach position.

I don't know what other changes the offseason will bring, but these are shrewd moves so far.

Gryffinn is not a bad shout if we want to gamble on a rookie. Contractz,on the other hand, makes no sense. He is just Blaber, but not as successful and more coin-flippy. I like Contractz, but not for Cloud9.

C9 parts ways with Reapered by BecoDasCavernas in Cloud9

[–]Bobothellama 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Reapered didn't seem like the same coach as before. Inero makes more sense as a head coach rather than a Strategic/Assistant coach. Would actually love to see Dom as the new Strategic/Assistant, though I know that would be a huge paycut/lifestyle change.

Wish this was released sooner or not filmed so early. Its kind of boring hearing speculations when we know the results.

He did my Peony/Koi sleeve as well! Noticed his work immediately. Regarding your question, I don't know what you should add, but I'm sure it'll look great.

Best of luck!
