I think this would make them stronger. I think that what the team has been lacking recently is skill of execution at the support positions. I don't mean that Aui and Pie are bad, clearly they are good solid players who fit in with the team. But they are rarely match-winningly good either. Other than Aui's visage they are rarely ban targets. They are reliable at stacking the jungle, and keeping good positioning in teamfights. But both Notail and Misery can pull off some seriously good plays. The risk is that losing established cogs destabilises the team. Aui especially seems like a model teammate. Sometimes the "teammanship" skill is underrated in a workplace, it really makes a difference to getting a team working smoothly. I find it hard to believe Aui was kicked, and the fact he has found his way to EG suggests he made his own choice. But based on the net result of the rotations, I still think this is a net positive for C9 as long as they can work as a team with the new support duo. | ||

But based on the net result of the rotations, I still think this is a net positive for C9 as long as they can work as a team with the new support duo. Indeed there are a lot of factors at play and it isn't easy to say whether a team will improve, change is always somewhat of a risk. I think there is a good chance that the top3 teams may be the same in the west, it just is a question of who wins the games in the semi finals and finals this time. Aui at EG may be interesting though, as I agree with you that he seems like a pretty good teammate and is also used to practicing a lot with c9, so he may be pushing EG towards that direction. A good atmosphere and a lot of practice may keep EG strong as well. As far as c9 goes, in my opinion with the old support duo c9 suffered in the early game compared to Secret and EG for example. You can even give them the same heroes, let's say n0tail ET vs Aui ET, or n0tail/PPD ES vs Aui/PLD ES, or n0tail wisp vs PLD wisp, and I feel in the early game Secret/EG supports get far more work done. Similar story with Misery I think as well, as my impression of him is also that he is very good in his early rotations. But also the old support duo had their strengths. Firstly they played together for a long time (bone7/EE/PLD played together for over 20 months, Aui also was with them for like 16 months), so they must have got along in and outside the game pretty well. In game for example farming efficiently and constantly splitpushing and spreading the map was very natural to Aui, whereas it might not be the same for the new players. At times this was a very positive thing with the way c9 played their games, his Visage being the best example. But there were also other times when I think the natural tendencies of a player sort of made the team not use certain heroes optimally, for example at the Summit when Aui played Omniknight he found himself several times on the other side of the map just farming away while the team was looking to take fights (and Omni being pretty much the best hero for those skirmishes). I think their playstyle will switch a bit, it will definitely be interesting to see. | ||
