from Rush B Media's article: "A source close to the situation specifically said, 'negotiations are nearly complete.'"
tldr: Vanity extremely close to joining Cloud9, Cloud9 will field a 6-person roster

isn't this risky from Vanity given that V1 has 200 VCT points and if rise and tsm win a few games c9 gets eliminated from lcq?

Vanity's friends and teammates from his last CSGO team are on C9 and he is also getting more money, he probably thinks he will be happier long term on C9 and is willing to risk it.

C9 can still make lcq, Because Sen and V1 (Not sure about V1 but, there name is in dark green on the site.) quailed for champs, So it's the placement from 3-10 that makes lcq. Even if Rise and Tsm get points and finish high, C9 would be 10th place. Meaning there still in it. And then, if a NA team wins Berlin. NA gets a extra slot meaning Gen.G qualifies. (Still could be a tiebreaker between the 2. Gen.G and C9)

Tiebreakers
How Rise and TSM perform
If an NA team wins Masters
