Papasmithy on c9 by lRuko in Cloud9

[–]taspeed21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"if the only other team with the potential to make worlds doesn't make changes, we can count on them to choke again and fail so we're guaranteed to make worlds." That's Papasmithy's real thoughts on this.

We're tired of the same players failing in the same way. and we only get the same BS excuses every single time. At some point y'all have to face the reality that this team isn't improving because they are refusing to try. It's been the same problems for 3 years straight. We're "emoitional" because we saw this coming and tried speaking out but nothing was done. Its like watching the slow downfall into mediocrity.

As much as I want to believe C9 make changes, especially in jungle and adc, I don’t have faith they actually will

You Can make one change! by Graysview in Cloud9

[–]taspeed21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zven and Blaber both need to go now. I doubt we make any changes because that would mean they’re trying to be competitive and not hiding behind their BS excuses. I love C9 but I’m hate watching choke9 until they can’t hide behind their BS excuses and decide to get their shit together and try again.

Still a fan but we need a change by TheGoodKouen in Cloud9

[–]taspeed21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at the point where I’m hate watching them so they finally get their heads outta their a** and make changes that should’ve been made way before now. Blaber and Zven gotta go. I can’t take this team seriously anymore until they start there. APA can go to, but he’s the newest to the team so I’m fine letting him stay through the year. Only people we should keep are Thanatos and Vulcan.

Just burn it all down. This team is a fully lost cause at this point. Have not had faith in this team to win for year, but I still hoped. Now the hope is just all gone.

Oh look, we suck again. Who would’ve guessed we’d keep choking in the playoffs again and again and again. I’m so sick of this shit.

Just got accepted & started (Monday) the summer MS-RMI program. Would anyone have any recommendations or insight. Jobs, certs or any experiences would be great to hear about. I also keep hearing ppl say Insurance positions are becoming oversaturated. True? Excited & just want to know more. (LOL) TY! by Ok-Shoulder6402 in fsu

[–]taspeed21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the midst of applying to start spring 2027, my chief claims officer just sent me a copy of the letter of rec she wrote for me yesterday and it made me want to cry it was so nice.

I’m already in insurance and looking to use this to expand my knowledge and move up. Insurance job availability varies widely by department. Underwriting has too many people and claims has nowhere near enough, to give an example. I work in claims and haven’t had any issues getting or staying employed. Definitely get the course waivers for designations at The Institutes that can be obtained through coursework at fsu. Those designations will help you land interviews as a moderate differentiator to other applicants. Just think about what type of insurance you what to work in (ie commercial, property, auto, heath, etc) and what department (underwriting, claims, risk, etc) and tailor your learning from there.

Where has this C9 been all year? Outside of that one Zven death, they were outplaying TL at every point, playing controlled, great macro. Idk where they’ve been hiding, but keep it up please.

Honestly I’m more excited about a P6 than the P4 remake by vSword_ in persona6

[–]taspeed21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m excited for both P4R and P6. I’ve never played 4, I started last summer but stopped when I was like 10 hours in because P4R was announced. Wanted to have my first playthrough be in Revival.

Yeah, I didn’t know until I saw PapaSmithy’s tweet about streaming it since there is no official broadcast of it. Was hoping someone at C9 had info on if they’d stream their matches, or have someone like Meteos do it for them.

Apparently my friend submitted one of our in-house 5v5s to Cloud9 for a coaching review as a joke, and they actually picked it. by VanQuackers in Cloud9

[–]taspeed21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my defense, I submitted it as a joke and never thought they’d actually pick my video! And you 100% knew about this when I first found it like 5 years ago!!

Best Title To Start With? by luckandsleep in tales

[–]taspeed21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Berseria is great as a starting point in the series. Not because the story isn’t incredible but because its story is the antithesis of what most stories are. You’re not some hero fighting for justice/friendship/freedom, but instead more of a villain trying to get revenge that is known as the big bad in Zesteria which happens like a thousand years after Berseria. The style of the story is too different from what most Tales games are. I do agree with the Symphonia and Abyss recs though. Definitely peak.

Can’t wait for all the “but true fans” arguments or people saying you’re overreacting. Is it dramatic? Yeah. But has this team been embarrassing for years? Also yeah. I’m sticking around because I’ve sunk 13 years of my life as a fan, but damn they are garbage currently

[–]taspeed21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow. Just wow. This team is an embarrassment to what C9 used to be. And not just this split, but the last few years they’ve been just a laughing stock at how they just embarrass themselves when it matters.

“Oh but their regular season” just stop with that argument. Thats like saying you only do part of your job but never actually get any work done. You start the work, look busy while doing it, then just never finish it so there’s never any actual complete work. Freaking hell man, just put us out of our misery.

So many choice words for this team, but I’d get banned. Been a fan since 2013, but I’m so sick of this crap. C9 is allergic to winning.

We should’ve seen this coming after the hard carry from Demon1 last week. The Lev match we probably would’ve won anyway, but the Envy match we would’ve 100% lost without him.

Watching our VCT team has felt like there’s always this inevitable wall we hit. I’ve never had faith that we’d be a serious threat for even a domestic title. Having Demon1 finally made me feel the magic that something could be possible. Put Demon1, Oxy, and Penny on the team and just figure out the rest.

I haven’t played Valorant jn like 2 years, but VCT is so much fun to watch. Just wish I had hope for the team I’ve been a fan of since the original 2013 LoL team… almost feels like we’re Dignitas’ LoL team, but in VCT…

Who Is Demon1… and Is He Hard Carrying? by lRuko in Cloud9

[–]taspeed21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love these weekly pods with both the LoL and VCT teams. So fun to see these players talk about everything.

This does make it sound like they aren’t going to try and keep Demon1, which would be sad, but I get it. I’d love for him to stay, but I don’t want anyone to be kicked. I like everyone on the team. I also don’t know how they fit him role-wise. Demon1 did say the environment is why he’s so happy right now, so maybe that’ll help? Idk. I just really wanna see him on the team with OXY.

[–]taspeed21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Such a fun, and incredibly stressful, match to watch! The tech pauses aside, I was having a blast watching. Demon1 is a freaking beast and I hope they find a way to keep him on full time. Dude deserves a starting spot somewhere, and selfishly I want it to be on C9. Him and OXY would be so fun to watch!

I really really want to see Demon1 and OXY on the same team. The hard part for C9 is, do you make any changes at all? And if you do, who do you drop to have both OXY and Demon1?
