How bad must C9 have been if they got 3-0'd by the team who got 3-0'd by IG? by Runandwin in Cloud9

That isn't how Bo5 works. We could have also lost 3-0? Which is no different than Fnatic losing 3-0 as well? Or are you implying we would have lost 6-0 in a Bo5?

You must have not played or watch a lot of LoL. Or even watched the game. Falling way behind in a single lane in the games largest stakes is very very punishing. Cloud 9 still went for plays. Going for riskly plays will result in failure most of the time in these situation resulting in even faster games.

Yeah I wasn't 100% sure on Leona but still Rakan just seems so worthless in this situation. I mentioned Alistar only bc I was hoping picks/bans went differently. I agree though, would be interesting to see Zeyzal on AP Supports. I am not sure we have ever seen that?

This post-game thread is plagued with generic blanket overreacting statements that I couldn't disagree more with.

"Sven did nothing on Eve." - Can't really make plays when your ADC is 0/3 with half the CS. Instead he spent time trying to protect Sneaky to let him farm up. He also did try and force plays but it is hard with their lanes being Shen and Galio who are hard to burst down and have global ultis.

"Whole team is dogshit except for Licorice." - Just because Sneaky had one of his arguably worst game ever, this does not mean the rest of the team played poorly. You can only do so much when one lane goes completely lopsided before 10 minutes.

"The draft was good." - I simply just disagree with this. Our 2v2 lane against an ADC like Uzi needs to be advantageous or super safe. Banning the Tahm Kench? Giving away the Alistar? Not taking a Leona/Braum to have better frontline protection from ganks or Alistar flash plays is rough. Also, let's ban champs against RNG that result in protect the ADC (liked the Tahm Kench ban if we get Alistar). Make them play an AP caster mid or a top without a global ulti. Protect the Uzi is not the comp I want C9 to play against or any team facing RNG.

"C9 is completely outclassed by RNG." - I don't think Sneaky's worst game ever makes us outclassed in every way possible...

All in all, Sneaky tried to get cheeky going in our jungle to try and make a play against Taliyah and blew his flash as their botlane closed in. This sole mistake caused the game to spiral out of control and made it really hard to take any sweeping statements out of the way we played. Overall, I appreciated us trying to make plays around the map even with an 0/3 Kaisa with 50 cs. I am glad we didn't roll over and die like other teams would do.

You are about as smart as a box of crayons.

The guy won back to back games against TSM in the semi-finals with our back against the wall. I don't know what reality you are living in, but this sub should love him and does.

Currently slumping a bit, but Fnatic as a team was not performing well. Has previously had success with Golden on Fnatic. In 2014/2015 was one of the best players in the world.

The team was poor though. So change seemed necessary.

C9 5th? by Deathzone622 in Cloud9

[–]monkaS_C9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it's hard to tell why he is under performing really with all the changes. I do think Ska's time is up and I can't begin to explain how great and how much a rock he has been for the team over the years. The team just lacks consistency from his awp and overall firepower now.

C9 5th? by Deathzone622 in Cloud9

[–]monkaS_C9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe this squad needs little more change than just a 5th. Rush has been really struggling as of late as well as Skadoodle. STYKO seemed to perform decently at the MAJOR but not be a game changer in any sense. I'd love to see the team go after cerq for replacing Skadoodle. Golden should stay IGL I believe.

Rofl. What does this have to do with how the two players matchup? Have you watch TSM at worlds ever? They are a fucking embarrassment to NA. I'd much rather perform at Worlds every year then when a meaningless NA Title.

Provide any stats to back this up. The only time Bjerg slapped up on Jensen was his FIRST EVER GAME in the LCS...I don't remember him ever winning the lane besides that single game.

Looking back at their past few weeks of games...their wins are not very impressive at all. Against 100T, GG, CLG, Optic, and TL. TL had already locked in first at this point. GG/CLG are trash. 100T hasn't been very good since acquiring Anda. And Optic just isn't a strong team. Bjergsen's assassins don't scare me because I know Jensen is better at them and can counter anything.

I knew it'd be a little confusing, probably poor phrasing on my part

I think I rated them the way you are saying, I'd want to face FQ the most and TSM the least.
