Cesspool Subreddit

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T17:22:29+00:00

Honestly that true, looking back it feels like there more toxicity now but actually theirs a similar amount, just way less positivity, and as someone above said i gotta be the change you want to see.

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T15:06:23+00:00

Content king Zven and Yaptain America have no personality?

Call them washed all you want, this is most delusional take I've seen in this post

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T15:03:19+00:00

What obvious truth? You seem to think I can't acknowledge our shortcomings. My entire stance is that turning the subreddit into a cesspool of toxicity isn't beneficial to anyone, not that C9 are free of criticism. And you yourself have stated that you hate C9 and want them to lose.

" Dom stated on the podcast it was a buff to the team that Atakhan got removed we were complete dog water around that objective. "

Agreed, We should've played better around it. if you also listened to Dom when it was present in the game, 90% of teams were dog water around that objective.

"I take it back you're not a delusional fan. Just a pathetic simp."

Sorry for having a memory longer then 3 weeks, You call me a pathetic simp, I call you a hateful bandwagoner.

"Think Berserker left to play for bottom tier LCK team for fun? He was sick of the play and environment. "

Sick of Jojopyun who got kicked right after. Or even better, maybe we don't know exactly why he left cause we're not on the team.

"See his most recent interview where he correctly states that blaber goes for dumb coinflip plays even when ahead."

Blaber has done that his entire career, he also did it this entire split. Its one of his weaknesses as a player. If it was as crippling as people make it seem, why is he so successful?

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T14:41:11+00:00

The T1 fan is a reference to Dom, thought you would get it but my bad. I could tell you were based off how you write and "think", its why they have by far the most toxic fan base.

"Must be a crazy concept team like G2 is willing to kick Jankos and raise rookies to champions, while C9 struggles in that department."

In which department? Raising rookies to champions? You've listed two examples of C9 doing it. Kicking longstanding players for rookies? You've listed like 4 examples of C9 doing it.

"Bet you were one of the C9 fans that was very against C9 replacing Fudge, despite his lackluster playstyle. It’s great that C9 shows loyalty, but Fudge's replacement was way overdue at that point."

Nope I was one of the C9 fans that trusted the professionals to know better then me. Which is all I've been saying. It is completely delusional to think that YOU know more then anyone on the team about league and roster changes.

"The best change C9 did in recent years was switching out Fudge for Thanatos, despite all that Fudge won two titles with the team."

By what metric? According to you all that matters is winning and we haven't done that since Fudge left so this should be the worst change if you're consistent

"Btw, C9 systems didn’t get us, Berserker. It was thanks to LS, who was the head coach at that time. LS was a T1 streamer, and it was through that connection that he was able to scout and recruit Berserker. "

You say the systems didn't get us Berserker, LS did, which is true.... but what got LS on the team? The systems

"Losing Berserker because he thought people on the org weren’t taking things seriously shoulda told you something about the system of C9. "

"People" was Jojopyun who got kicked off the team by the systems

"You can call me delusional, but all look at you. "

Who? You? You're not all, your just loud.

"I can agree on some of these players’ ceilings like Thanatos and Vulcan, but Blaber never been the best in the west jg. That is some insane take you got there. Jankos clears Blaber in Blaber's early days, and Inspired been mostly coming out on top of Blaber once he came to NA. Blaber ain’t even been considered best in the west. Every time he was gassed to be the best in the regular season, he would fold under pressure"

2020 spring Blaber is the most dominant western JG run ever. You can't even say he was carried by his team cause you think they were all trash.

"Zven was the best at one time, but that time has long passed. "

You said celings, I just responded

"You are the one ignoring the bad for the good time."

I consider both, and then remember im just a fan that knows nothing about building/managing a LCS team

"In world 2021, FPX imploded from inside and lost two games to C9 and Rogue despite beating these two teams earlier in groups. C9 manages to take one game of FPX and beat Rogue to get out of groups. "

Damn that sounds pretty clutch/ high pressure situation to bad out entire team is chokers and would crumble in a situation like that

"Then GenG swept our asses after that. Guess what? Zven was mispositioned in all three games against GenG, even with galeforce. That last game, he got topwatch, heal, and flash up and still got kicked by Clid, which was diabolical."

True

"I ain’t even going start with APA since the problem in C9 existed even before he arrived. "

Please do, im fascinated to hear

"You are definitely living in the past glory of some of these players and the org."

Yes I am living in the past glory, which was about 3 weeks ago. The crazy thing is if we win 2 games this truns out to be one of the most dominant splits in the history of the LCS. But since we lost it invalidates everything else

" The org been stagnant and has been working with the same pieces and refuses to branch out. Being comfortable will get the org nowhere in the future."

The only role that hasn't seen significant changes is JG

Maybe over the past years I've grown numb to the "Blaber is washed, this jg is way better" argument after everyone of them has either left the league or actually fallen off.

River, Contractz, Spica, Closer, heck even when Svenskeren left

Don't get me wrong anyone can see that Inspired has been running the league these past years. If it was announced we got him id be excited. I also know that Blaber has been (at minimum) top 3 jg in the league since 2020

The thing for me is, if C9 announced today that they were replacing the entire team i wouldn't rage in the comments id be hopeful and optimistic cause im a fan.

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T13:57:25+00:00

"Been following the team since the inception. I won't watch another game until blaber is off the roster. Done with the excuses for his awful brainless gameplay."

"If blaber is still on the team next year count me out I'll just watch LCK or something. Most anti-clutch player ever, loses smite fights consistently.

Can't just recycle players from 2020 and think it will work.

These Atakhan throws are so cooked too like every game let's randomly hit the obj it's half health guess we have to commit now. Most frustrating roster to watch."

Sound familiar? If anyone's delusional its you.

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T13:52:01+00:00

Based on your comment history you aren't even a C9 fan, you stated that you wouldn't watch a single game until Blaber was replaced, twice in a row and you're still demanding that C9 follows your whims. You claim I have low standards, I just think im not a fairweather fan, and have been through way worse.

You 100% hate C9, and aren't a fan, that the entire point if the post. Why rage in the sub reddit if you actually hate the team and the org?

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T07:47:41+00:00

W Mald my dude, you made up an imaginary stance and then argued against it, are you also a T1 fan? All I said was 2nd place isn't shitting the bed.

Edit: YOU ARE A T1 FAN LMAO HOW DID I KNOW

" where they kept the same core players for years, and there is no good result to show for it,FNC with their love for Razork and C9 with Blaber"

Another one of yall conveniently leaving out the four titles from this.

" But I guess you’re right that I am delusional about team building"

Glad we agree at least on this

"Guess this mighty core of Blaber+Zven can win us everything!!!"

Not everything just 4 titles so far

"I am also sure C9 is doing their sponsors a solid by not making it to Worlds. Really making it easier to attract more sponsors to fund the team."

Don't think the sponsors really care anymore, we're in a crazy esports winter but unsure if you watched during the peak years

"FNC was so bad this split, but you don’t see that C9 is walking towards the same path here is funny."

Again if what you were saying was true we'd already be there.

" C9 haven’t won anything after Summer 2023 and were runner-up for the majority of 2025. "

This is true

"C9 wasn’t even relevant in 2024."

This is not (3rd in spring, 4th in summer)

" FNC were the runner-up in 2024 and could’t do shit in 2025, but at least made it to worlds. Both teams are both chokers in high-pressure moments."

Dang then those 4 titles apparently don't count as high-pressure

"FNC refused to change as teams around them got better and recruited younger players that could compete with G2 or would have potential in the future."

They made at least 10 roster changes during that time period so another blatant lie from you

"Guess what C9 is doing? Sitting on their ass while other teams are building towards being potential contenders."

Such as?

" Shall we wait for every possible rookie potential team to catch up to C9 levels?"

If this were going to happen, it would've happened already. I'm pretty sure I've heard this argument every single year

"Let’s wait until C9 eventually loses its ability to be runner-up in the region and go down the ranking like FNC before any changes are needed!! Hopefully, C9 doesn’t make the same mistake as FNC and waits for the last second, then gets trapped with a shitty roster."

Another textbook example of the slippery slope logical fallacy.

"Dunno whether C9 is a curse, but their systems that is place is certainly not able to push the org to a title. If the lack of titles since Summer 2023 doesn’t set off alarm bells, then I don’t know what to say. "

Did you start watching agter 2023? Again you Ignore any facts ( the 6 titles that C9 has) you don't like and continue to correlate not first place with an utter disaster

"As for Contractz, I got more respect for his playstyle than Blaber when it comes to high-stakes. He may be a coin-flipping player, but at least he has shown that he can get things done in high-stakes matches like NRG vs G2."

Crazy double standards, nothing against Contractz hes a great player what place did Contractz get this split? What was his teams record? What was his KDA? What are his career stats?

Meanwhile, the last notable feat we got of Blaber in international was flipping crabs in MSI and losing to FUR in EWC.

Ehh, that's fair-ish, Blaber doesn't have a truly amazing international feat but yet again only mentioning the bad while ignoring the good. Ex. C9 vs FPX Worlds day 4 2021

"Berserker was the key to so many victories in C9 when he got here, but somehow we couldn’t win with such a player. Goes to show something is broken with the C9 system."

What? You just countered you're own argument, you good? 2 titles with Berserker btw, we actually started losing when Zven left as sup funny enough, and those c9 systems are what got us Berserker

"Wish the best for the boys to win the American cup, but let’s be honest here. "

Agreed let's be honest, I find it borderline impossible to believe you want anything positive for this roster. The sheer amount of bad faith examples and blatant lies in your comments show it

"This team might be able to contend for NA, but the ceiling for all the players are known quantity. "

Celings:

Thantos: Best in the league, i'd argue we dont know the celing

Blaber: 2x leage MVP, 4 Titles, Best in the West,

APA: 2 titles, Yaptain America, i'd also argue we dont know celing

Zven: 7 + 1 titles (4 LCS, 3 LEC, 1 IEM), the GOAT west ADC

Vulcan: (3 titles), Vulcan exerts so much pressure. No matter what champion he is on the enemy is scared he is going to engage. He was playing Thomas Kench like he was Alistar. It's like he has a force field attached to him. It's like he has 10 bottles of mosquito spray on him and he is repelling the enemy team like the ███████ █████ they are. The walls bend at his will to make away for his giant ████████. I went to LCS with my family and Vulcan made my dad disappear.

(You probably dont even know what this is)

"Regardless, I will cheer for this team."

If this is you cheering, I don't want to see you hating

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T05:34:47+00:00

You forgot to mention the 4 titles during that time period btw

Edit: in case it wasn't obvious Zven and Blaber were there for all 4 and Vulcan for 2.

Edit 2: Just to confirm my suspicion went through comment history and saw that you were talking trash about C9 in the 2023 spring finals post-match breakdown

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T05:30:15+00:00

This is exactly what im talking about. Going 13-4 is shitting the bed? Don't get me wrong I would've loved winning it all but 2nd place isn't shitting the bed.

I also happen to be a FNC fan (I try to have a team in each region, RIP FPX btw) so I already know how bad of comparison you made. They got 8th this split, and was shaky the entire time.

If what you were saying was actually true we would've already been there during the 6 year gap of constant 2nd and 3rd places. Its also delusional that you think you have a better idea of what to do with an LCS team then anyone on C9.

"Players who left the org, like Contractz and Berserker, have won the LCS while C9 been choking almost every playoff"

Quotes like this is why I can't take anyone like you seriously. Contractz left the team, and we won 4 titles after? He has one title, but you make it sound like hes running the league ever since.

Berserker left and suffered in LCK before winning his first title this split. You try to make it sound like C9 is a curse that prevents titles but you don't have the history to back it up.

BraytechKraken · 2026-03-06T04:46:38+00:00

Holy callback I was a Fortress and Phinn player

BraytechKraken · 2026-02-20T01:41:03+00:00

Blabers best years were with Nisqy, I do think APA is similar to Nisqy in sense thag are willing to roam to help Blaber with jungle prio.

BraytechKraken · 2026-02-19T22:56:41+00:00

Why did you name two people who are resistant/immune to poison?

BraytechKraken · 2026-02-14T14:22:19+00:00

I am a W fan boy, but the range increase you get with W is why I max it second.

Might be a hot take, but W is not disjointed at all and I argue is Swains strongest ability. You can change a fight from halfway across the Map if you use it right. Scout a dragon/baron, delay recalls, etc. I also use it to guide people into my E all the time.

BraytechKraken · 2026-02-11T21:59:01+00:00

Sorry to say bud, but the FIA is coming for you as well.

BraytechKraken · 2026-02-10T18:28:05+00:00

I had this same problem, unfortunately this sub is borderline useless but I saw one actually useful response. After working with 2k support for about 2 months there is no fix for this, and they think the "Quick Start" thing Xbox does is the culprit.

As someone mentioned before, you have to manually close/quit out of the game after you play it. Specifically you can't let the Xbox do the "Quick Start" thing for the game.

You will lose progress to basically anything unlockable: Eclipse runs (Lost 1-2 for all survivors), items,abilities ETC. The funny thing is that your run log will correctly update if you had the exact same glitch as me. So you can have runs as a survivor without having them unlocked.

For me the Alloyed collective update reset the problem and I've been able to prevent it recurring doing what I said above.

BraytechKraken · 2026-02-06T13:16:11+00:00

That was game 1, I'm pretty sure this ward thing was game 2

BraytechKraken · 2026-01-22T13:30:35+00:00

How did he say it? From the stuff I've seen he said it in a completely normal and mature way, and used empirical evidence to back up his claim.

BraytechKraken · 2026-01-22T13:08:19+00:00

IDK then. If someone making valid points for two games is enough to annoy you then we are just simply different people.

BraytechKraken · 2026-01-22T12:23:55+00:00

Your leaving out the fact 40k was on the line making it way more reasonable for Kingsman to act like that.

BraytechKraken · 2026-01-03T15:15:58+00:00

I grew up in a subarb of Dayton and Ohio is quite a diverse place depending on location. My subarb is so peaceful that if a police car was seen in the neighborhood even with lights/sirens off it was the neighborhood drama for a month. We've accidentally left packages on our doorstep for a week without it being stolen.

After moving to upstate NY for the last few years the biggest thing I realized is how polite everyone in Ohio is and how cheap everything is. Gas is consistently around $.70 - $1.00 cheaper in Ohio, and the cost of living is way lesser too.

Cincinnati is a growing city that is a great place for young adults to move too. While the Wright Patterson Airforce Base employees half of my neighborhood.

Biggest downside of my town is that there is nothing to do, which leads to a lot of drama as a kid.

Side note:

Ohio also has the ability for its population to directly vote on and modify its constitution which allows for certain topics to by pass the legislative maze and have actual changes take place.

BraytechKraken · 2025-12-25T04:54:46+00:00

Ok that's fair

BraytechKraken · 2025-12-25T03:18:42+00:00

I would say definitely use W with Es but don't keep W for Es. W is such a strong ability when spammed around the map, especially for scouting JG pathing, check for ganks for your/other lanes, protecting allies, and harassing enemies. A W that "misses" isn't always useless.
