I think this and a good coach is what are holding back the C9B roster.

If the rumors are true and Vanity goes to C9B:
1) Who does he replace?
2) What would be the potential of the C9B roster?

For me: 1) He replaces Mitch (who has been great and deserves to land on another great team)
2) The IGL of Vanity makes C9B easily a top 5 below XSET

I hope this move does happen, but TBH C9B needs to have some consistency with their roster.

I think it is a bit of both. They are good, but the top teams are finally playing to their potential. Plus as much as I like V1, I think their growth is capped at the moment.

Hopefully C9 makes the LCQ

True!

Mitch has improved alot since Beta (year 1). I hope C9 Vanity happens, but I also want Mitch to find success!

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!

This or some type of unofficial season/div or whatever you want to call it.

Yep... which sucks, because everyone on the team is so good. I don't think so... You have to be a year out from a VCT qual. But they still have the LCQ at the end of the year. Hopefully next year Valorant grows to have other big events outside the VCT.

Fans and Non-fans: What do yall think is next for C9B?

Hopefully, they keep their team intact... and get a coach who knows some damn strats. When 100T Steel broke down C9B's problems in real-time during the LG game is was hard to watch really.

C9B = Leaf
SEN = SicK
100T = Hiko
Faze = Corey
Fnatic = Boaster
V1 = Tie btw Vanity and Zellis (both are very funny )
T1 = Curry

Would Sinatraa want to go to TSM?

I guess I just saw that as pressure, since the loser of the game is out of the LCQ and done for the year.

F4Q v VS was a banger game

I understand, but is it not better to get a very good player in Levi, than hope on Sinatraa?

Even if, TSM loses tomorrow.... Levi has done more than his part to be included on the team?

1. Where does game 3 (TSM v AndBox) rank in the Valorant lifespan? Generally asking...

2. Why has TSM not signed Levi? Surely you have seen enough from this trial period?

Boss! thx for the update!

Wow.... they didnt stream this game?

Don't be that guy..... Val is just not his game. It is all good.

It also helps that Poiz ( from the outside-in) really enjoys the game...whereas Floppy from moment one, wanted to leave for CSGO. Good luck to floppy on his next move, but this C9 is already so much better than the short-lived Floppy era.

Last checked C9 was up 11- 3.

Edit won 13- 4

V1 Vanity is looking at the C9 score if you need a quick update.

They already look so much better than last Qual....Lets go C9B!

Nice! good looking out! TY

Do we know if anyone is streaming this game?

Team - Gambit

Player - C9 Mitch (He has improved alot)

Agreed!

As a C9B fan... I do care a lot about Andbox (bc of Vice) and SQ (The whole team seems like great ppl in general). So I hope they do well.

This is my hope!

correct answer.... Fun game, but it is overrated.

NRG plays in the NST tonight so I'm curious about how they look!

This.... I think that is the biggest issue with Faze. No one knows what "type" of Faze team will show up. You can get the Babybay/Corey highlight reel Faze or the team that loses to Rank Demons

I like it! And same re: C9B & AndBox....

It feels like the vibe (for fans) around both C9B & AndBox has gone because of the bad result. I wonder if ppl think they are not top teams anymore.

Just curious what everyone thinks are the expectations for some of the teams.

C9B, Andbox - Top4?
T1, SQ - Qualify into the close?
TSM - Rd 16?
Faze - ... IDK to be honest, maybe Rd16?

This! ....This is the problem with Faze.... They don't change and just teabag then lose the match. Corey is so good as well. If Faze doesn't qual i wonder if a big change is coming.

Same....... hoping they bounce back with a strong showing.

.....TBH......Yeah, i did

How well do you think they will do at the next Open Qual?

As for this Qual... it's looking like V1, SEN 100T, and Envy (as the top 4)..so I'm already moving on to the next.

cap

Again, this is not a complaint........ if that was not clear

Just a general moan wishing the C9B players on streaming more..... I get my C9 Val fix watching V1 Vanity, Mang0, Mel, Annie, and Kat. It feels like the C9B team is the only team that doesn't stream at all. Mitch and Floppy once a blue moon but that's it.

I agree, which is why I don't understand the confusion about the C9B hype. True they have not won anything but the ceiling is high for everyone to see. Just like G2

Well said...... But Shaz has been saying this about C9B on his twitch (c9B are overhyped) for a lot of SEN fans have been hating C9B.

This

Honestly, top 5 NA i assume K/D/A.

But I would have done my list differently if this was the top 5 IGL's NA.

As for Shaz himself, he is very good... but I would say Corey has more of an impact on Faze than Shaz has on SEN. I think SEN fall into the problem of everyone on the team is a superstar (Superman on the JL). So I view the best on how they carry their own team. Faze NEED Corey, SEN "can" get away without Shaz. For exp: SEN would still win Iceland if Vanity played for SEN instead of Shaz. Again, Not saying Shaz isn't good (cause he is great) but the impact is not as great as other players on other teams.

I think this is a fair list ^. I would have:

1. SicK
2. TenZ
3. Asuna
4. Leaf
5. Yay
   5b. Corey

This is a horrible take

Agreed, C9B and AndBox
