in addition their drafts had little or no hard catch against BH track, which became a disaster during the midgame of both games as they were kited freely

Yep classic bone7 no stun draft

Bone drafts have been so hit or miss, I haven't been a fan


i would be less disappointed if he drafted in his typical style if he at least tried to either counter cdec's common picks or deny them

they managed neither
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

i know that EE has this pattern on drafts on important matches like where game 1 they stomp game 2 they lose game 3 he goes full retard on drafts

but bone is so hit and miss on drafts ... game 1 draft is alright i believe so they must have just been outplayed by cdec, game 2 draft is the we are all gonna die to PL draft

oh well at least my boys from lgd won against empire

piledriver's characterization is spot on

c9 used to have some OP feeling pocket drafts but now their stronger pocket drafts still never feel OP and their execution is rarely 10/10, even against way inferior teams that they 2-0

IG says "hi"

I still feel the drafting is the overachieving problem, with equal lineups there are not many teams stronger than C9. They have been a consistent top 6 contender throughout the year (and looked nigh unbeatable at the end of .83).

C9, even though a hard blow was dealt I'm confident that you will pull through and finish top 3 at least. Bone322 has a lot of clutch plays to offer. So does BigDaddy and Misery!

I agree with the people saying that C9 can beat everyone - however I've kinda lost hope that will take them far in this tournament because of their inconsistency and their drafting issues. To finish top 3 or whatever their aim might be, they need to win bo3's against teams that are just playing and drafting more stable and I don't really see that happen given their recent performances...

Some people were saying that this used to be true but is not anymore, and I tend to agree. With this new lineup while they haven't lost to bad teams on LAN, it's not like they've beaten a lot of the top contenders either.

After that CDEC game I don't have much expectations. I'll be positively surprised if they manage to make some sort of a run, but I wouldn't be surprised if VG just takes it.

Yeah, if was into betting, I'd go with VG today... Which really hurts my heart.

Damnnnn. C9 Vici. C9 looks crappy and no longer special in their drafts. I think that's the end for them.

I also wonder when teams start realising legion is not a counter to PL. Neither is mjolnir. The 2 counters are a strong mid game push lineup, and cleave gaming.

Well it's not just about them being crappy considering the history between 2 teams c9 always lost to VG except that one time on MDL.. So i say they are pretty much done-zo
