You just come in here so overflowing with salt just to talk shit? ROFL who qualified for keyarena?
Going for #1, "The games against DK are almost completely going to be dependent on draft."
That was a poor attempt to be funny, not shit talk. Your team secured half a million dollars dude. Mine got the same round robin score but arbitrarily had to play a BO3 which they lost because their drafting is one-dimensional. So yes I'm salty but I don't actually hope for C9 to do badly (i think Aui is awesome).
I don't know what your expectations are of C9 (probably unrealistically high since you're a fan? ) but I feel the team and their fans should be very happy with how far they've come already since they've already won about as much money and done about as well as they were realistically going to do at this event, considering the enormous competition. Getting eliminated by any of the remaining teams in the next round would still be a pretty succesfull run for C9 and if i was a fan i would already be happy at this point.
Goddamn awful flipping on the rational tone all of a sudden when I was revving up for a flame war. To be fair without being able to read your tone it looked like your post was 100% a salty raging flame.
Of course my expectation of C9 is ti4 champions 100%

500k for 8th place is awesome and is worth the sacrifices made throughout entire year.
That's 100k a person plus all the other money made from salary and events.

It must have been the ^^ instead of a standard emoticon. Communicating through the interwebs is hard!
Maybe I'll just root for C9 at this point. Their next opponent will be whoever comes out ahead between Titan, NaVi and NewBee. I might actually favor them vs Titan and NaVi but i think NewBee plays the greed game better than C9.

Dude there isn't a single C9 fan that has high expectations for the team. We are Clown9/11 and proud.

I don't know about you, but I have very high hopes for Cloud 9, I KNOW they can do well, but I'll never be surprised if they don't perform, just a bit sad D:

They showed pretty good in the first game, but the Naga was just too much pressure for almost any composition.
The second draft I wasn't even mad, It seemed like after such a long first game and a lost like that they obviously didn't care and wanted to try something goofy.
In the end, they're still in the Main Event, and as long as they show up big there, it will be all that counts. In Cloud 9 we trust.

lol yea, I mean if they play like did vs VG and iG on day 2 I'm sure they could get at least Top3. Sing and Aui are playing fine. EE needs to reign in his drafts, I think he does okay as carry even though twitch chat loves to flame him. It all comes down to Bone7 and pie. pie needs to step it up is all I'll say. Bone7 is either amazing or has no impact, we need the bone that was so godly on bat and clock back.
I feel like a lot of people are hating on pld too much.
Keep in mind that he
- is essentially the only support on the team given Aui is just about always given farm priority equal to/above a core - is the most vocal and calls the most shots in-game, and it's hard to have both your and your team's ideal position in your mind at all times
bOne7 just hasn't translated well to the demolition of the carry/mid/offlane meta (where we basically now just have three interchangeable cores as far as farm priority and lanes go). Remember Speed at MLG where Sing/EE/Arteezy would run dual lanes and whatnot because they didn't have a dedicated offlaner? That's the meta now. You have a core in each lane and the supports move around.
of all the 8 remaining teams, 5 are Chinese, 1 NA, 1 EU and Cloud9 = 2 Chinese Canadians + 2 Europeans + 1 Chinese European + all earth origin + cloud name + anime power of EE-sama the God and Singsing the Kappa Lord
Cloud9 is 1/4 Chinese 1/4 EU 1/4 NA 1/4 God = Master race. TI4 Champions confirm boys ^^

What?
Oh. Yeah definitely. So the first losers bracket game isn't until day2 of the main event? v.v Actually I guess that gives them some time to watch whatever weird shit might be pulled out before they play idk

I had high expectations but learned the following c9 is about the journey not the end! Feel like c9 can beat any team on its day but conversely could have absolutely retarded losses. They looked a little off during the playoffs so I'm hoping these last few days have been enough for them to reset, get into a groove and burn shit down. Would like 2 Western teams in the top 4.
