-Immi (3 years on C9 no international quals)
-Xeppa (no notable achievements in 5 years on the org)
+Kaplan
+Kyu
Oxy (primary duelist)
V1c (smokes)
Kyu (recon init IGL)
Zellsis (flex)
Penny (senti/secondary duelist)
Kaplan (chemistry with Zellsis and Kyu from SEN)
I'm sorry but why is everyone acting like Kyu is this great IGL as soon as Sen dropped him? Like there were countless threads from Sen fans and non-Sen fans pointing out that his calling was very mediocre at best and that he was being read like a book, which it was. Like a few months back in tier 2 isn't just going to magically make him a better caller.
Not a Sen fan or hater, i think the roster needed time. Other than maybe N4rrate. He was put in a blender by just asking him on a role he never played in tier 1 before. Kyu needed time. You can't just put a rookie igl in one split and ask him to be fantastic from the go. Sen just didn't know what they needed and Kyu was the collateral of that indecisiveness.
I never really thought that iteration of SEN made any sense. Picking up Kyu when you already have a) a great international level igl that can also frag in johnqt and b) a scan initiator player in N4rrate just seemed like an odd choice. I believe if SEN just put N4rrate on perma Fade/Sova and then picked up an up and coming cracked duelist player and let johnqt continue igling, it would’ve made way more sense.
LOL
why would u even remove xeppa. he is doing good currently. winning them rounds+the team needs experienced players like nrg had ethan.
The team doesn't need experienced players, they have those already and it ain't working. Vic and Oxy are the only young players and Oxy is in his 3rd year on C9.
They need a DRASTIC change and that's ditching immi, I don't see how you could justify keeping him beyond 2026. If your ceiling is 'just good' then you don't deserve t1, The changes for 2027 are much needed for teams like C9 to actually get serious and earn their partnership.
