C9 Underrated?

Don't get me wrong, I'm as pissed at C9 as everyone else; the premiere org that everyone looked up to as a pillar of NA esports ending up in the laughable state that its in is ridiculous.

That being said, I don't actually think C9 will perform that badly with two Tier-2 players to replace vanity and yay--and the only reason for that is mCe.

Remember, mCe is the one that brought together the original GUARD roster, finding virtually unknown players with a glimmer of talent and polishing them into undisputable tier-1 talent.

While it's obvious that C9 picked up runi and jakee to save money, I don't doubt that the one who actually chose those specific players was mCe, and a lot of their peers in the VCL have praised their talents.

Therefore, if there's anyone capable of turning these two into NA gods, it's mCe. Maybe not in their first few matches, but there's a strong possibility that later down the line, perhaps by champions, C9 might become a dark horse to win it all considering their current talent.

Hypothetically, if runi becomes an S-tier IGL, and jakee ends up being not only cracked but a team player (something the old C9 roster desperately needed), then Xeppaa, leaf, and zellsis will be able to reach their full potential but crush other NA teams given their raw mechanical and clutch skills.

If this is the case, I predict that 1 year down the line, the weak link will be Zellsis.

can you increase your attention span and reading comprehension.

ok but seriously, heres the tldr; its obvious C9 picked runi and jakee to save money but mCe is the goat at turning players into NA gods so later down in the line C9 might be a dark horse to win it all

I think it could work out long-term if there was a second split for the year, but given theres just the spring split and LCQ, its now or never for C9. After the year is over I can't imagine them sticking with jakee and runi as rosters in Ascension and other leagues begin to shake up (especially with The Guard potentially going their separate ways if they don't get picked up).

Only way I could imagine them not making a change after the year ends is if they win, or if their financial issues persist (in which case there is a much bigger problem)
