EPTRegardless, I still think Bone7 is often the best Western offlaner. He was mostly bad at DAC, but he can be brilliant. I don't know why he's inconsistent. . .I guess in large part that's due to the way offlane functions, and also the way C9 is all about pushing boundaries. Any offlaner who produced more consistency would have to do so at the sacrifice of the C9 playstyle. And maybe that's what C9 needs to win, IDK. But, again, who are they going to get?

Part of it could honestly be his diet. According to Conrad(I think) he refuses to eat anything but watermelon and rice, and that doesn't give you nearly enough energy for several hours in a booth. | ||

If you're a serious competitor, you need to start considering good diet and exercise as part of your job. Especially because a healthy cardiovascular system can help stave off serious RSIs. | ||

If I remember right, it's not that he refuses to eat anything else but that he has a very iff/sensitive stomach so he has trouble eating and keeping most foods down. | ||

I figure with Black on the market c9 is a potential place for him to land (assuming he and Fata are on good terms after mouz) but I can't see him taking the hard lane where Envy has switched roles in the past. | ||

Misery tweeted that he can't wait to play Dota again (probably was on holidays?) and I doubt he'd say that if he just got kicked. I think they're a definite part of the team, an official announcement would be good, though... EE tweeted that scrims are starting soon, so Misery was probably talking about that. I imagine they're gonna do a bunch of scrims together, see if the team gels after the DAC loss, and then sign them if they do. | ||
