Or is this bad stretch of matches?
he went -6 one game the other two were positive with a +5 and +3??? they were bound to not do as well in the Sen City Classic he went - 6, +15, +16 respectively. I wouldn't know about downfall.
Bo-1's and Only 4 teams can past through this tournament is ass already
no but what do you think about the 6k roster for 2026 with jow mephisto and feniz
I'm hard, Feniz i've been watching him since BORDER MONSTER days!!! Mephisto and Jow really changed it this year actually qualifying for swiss stage yeah they didn't do well but taking down Smurf Xolos was BIG in my opinion. Proving to me they are not Total push overs
And they Fought pretty well against NA showing more agreesion compared to other SA team
look at his performance in sen city not just stats. he is missing a lot of op shots and doesnt look like a top player you'd exppect him to be
he still had his moments in sen city and he has all of off season to get back into it
OXY peak rating in franchise is 1.24 in 2024 Americas Stage 1:
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2004/champions-tour-2024-americas-stage-1
his numbers in every other tournament:
Kickoff 2024: 0.93
Stage 2 2024: 0.97
Kickoff 2025: 0.88
Stage 1 2025: 0.99
Stage 2 2025: 1.17 (1.01 if you exclude group stage)
He needs to step up because not only he never qualified to an international after 6 tries, it looks like he is a hype moments and aura merchant
Damn
I didnt bother watching regular C9 games but some of his clips were insane and I was convinced he was a great player. Maybe he still is but inconsistent af and his sen city performance was not upto his standards
In the eye-test he looks like a superstar duelist because of the regular hype moments and aura rounds he has in a lot of series. But statistically he is very inconsistent and looks like every other average duelist
There is also a common theme of "choking" in playoffs but I think thats related to Cloud9 as a whole
For example, in his best split ever:
OXY in group stage (1.30):
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2004/champions-tour-2024-americas-stage-1?exclude=24732.24733.24734.24735.24736.24737&min_rounds=0&agent=all
OXY in playoffs (0.83):
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2004/champions-tour-2024-americas-stage-1?exclude=24042.24043.24044.24045.24046&min_rounds=0&agent=all
ngl i think it has less to do with inconsistency and moreso that if he cant just aim diff a team he will generally struggle.
Oxy in 2025:
vs top 4 teams in champs points- 0.96 kd(479/497 in 11 series)
vs middle 4- 1.17 kd (125/107 in 3 series)
vs bot 4- 1.51 kd (218/144 in 5 series)
In 2024
vs top 4- 0.94 kd (205/217 in 5 series)
mid 3- 1.00 kd (188/188 in 4 series)
bot 4- 1.32 (348/264 in 6 series)
now of course everyone plays worse against better teams and oxy has generally been on teams that consistently are worse than and lose to the top 4 teams in americas so it might just be team diff, but also might say something about oxy himself . If it wasnt 1:20 am for me rn i would go and look through other players to see if this is out of the ordinary... perhaps tomorrow
I mean he is a known bottom feeder farmer that's not really new, and a lot of the glaze he gets comes from this tbh, I don't think people realize it enough
C9 is ass as a team so it's impressive that hes putting up these numbers, wouldn't say it's his fault that C9 isn't making internationals
Put OXY on G2 and you would say he's NAs savior, blame the system not the player type situation
I mean it must be hard for him to carry 2-3 bums every year. This is probably just his resting period since he knows he'll have to carry zellsis and xeppaa all season long.
