Cloud9 corruption

How come cloud9 doesn't even have a full team and they are already invited to both of the top tier off season events so far? Aren't they broke? Did C9 owner bribe off the tournament organizers with the money he doesn't have?

Not every team is willing to go to an off season event.

SEN will only be going to ludwig invitational and possibly one more event that's far from now. As agreed as a team they won't be travelling to avoid long breaks from practice. Once Drewspark will be back in the US, they will start practice for 2-3 months. Will start posting regular scrimbux when it does

yeah but they dont have a set schedule rn until their analyst goes back. So from monday they will only scrim to get their synergy back, not practice for new strats for example unless Drew decided to go back earlier

drew has re-signed already till 2025, unsure if kaplan has yet.

Reason why he's not showing up on the database is because he's no longer considered their "6th player" after Zellsis joined and so analysts don't show up on the DB.

kaplan is signed till the end of 2024 so ig he doesn't need to. Anyway, thanks for the info. Do you think they will pursue an assistant coach or are they totally done with signings?

Why are you talking about VCT bruv? It ain't about 'rejection', it's about 'invitation'. It's not like they went through a 'rejection' process and C9 got in through that. They chose to invite C9 over some of the other top teams!

They have a budget team and the full team isn't even announced yet whereas SEN has a full announced roster and far more popular.

yeah but they still have to announce them. I am a bit surprised that they are getting invited over SEN and some of the EMEA teams

Corruption used in the worst way possible in a sentence

Invited teams in tournaments are those orgs that have a lot of influence in the esport and among different other esports as well

Cloud9 is a behemoth in that aspect

Orgs can’t “bribe” their way into a tourney the tournament PAYS the ORG bro😭
