I'd certainly like to see Arteezy back on C9 along with PLD, but I don't know if it's likely to happen. In terms of results of future squads, I'm not sure any of the players on the current roster will ever be the right sort of players for consistent tournament wins. | ||

In terms of results of future squads, I'm not sure any of the players on the current roster will ever be the right sort of players for consistent tournament wins. I've warmed up to Misery. I think he can be an absolute beast under the right leadership. He very rarely has off games, and always delivers under pressure (unlike the rest of the team). As for the other players - EE has also been improving his consistency, and although he has the occasional feeding via over extension, he finds farm and has impact even in adverse situations and poor starts vs aggro tri/dual lanes. He's definitely championship capable under the right situations. Fata- is a beast on the right heroes, but unfortunately the current meta has not been too kind on his hero pool. He is very average on Storm, Lina, Lesh, Nevermore etc. He will always find farm on most heroes, but his impact is not on the same level as other top tier mids like Maybe, CTY, Suma1l etc. N0tail and Bone7 have been the weakest links this TI. This may have been a result of Bone7 drafting, but he often drafts himself into the safelane, leaving Envy against a trilane in most cases, but he still hasnt had a positive impact in games even though he gets off to easier starts. I am hard pressed to think of a game in the last 3-4 months where Bone7 has massively impacted a game by himself. N0tail hasn't been given his signature earthshaker Elder Titan etc, and been forced to repeatedly play wisp over and over again. | ||

During our conversation we couldn't help but overhear EE and Notail having a pretty intense discussion about fault and team morale/level of effort, etc. Definitely don't anticipate them spending time together on a team next year. FATA was also like off in a corner talking to Kuro in German and it I don't speak a lot of German but I know flame when I hear it rofl. I'm not a betting man but my money is on a pretty thorough retooling of the C9 squad. | ||

He's just not a top tier captain (at least not yet) nor does he have one. | ||

Must have been cool to meet up with March Surprised though that they'd talk now. FIgur ethey'd be burned out. | ||

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. I was wrong but I was also right... Interesting that when Aui moved from C9 to EG, C9 fell apart while EG pulled together. Aui is a solid player for sure, especially on a hero with minions. But on top of that, it seems this TI really showed that the 'glue guy' can make a big difference to the overall performance of a team well beyond just their individual skill. | ||

Let's be naive here and hope that envy's stock hasn't dropped during this TI too much. Misery miraculously decides to stay. The team gets one or several people from a secret reshuffle. Great players are nice, but good leadership would be even more valuable. That's what c9 has been lacking. One clear voice, no more people chipping in into not listening to one another. I'd rather see puppey+kuro get envy into their new team or s4 be in a new c9 and the rest be pubstars, than have a star lineup with rtz, zai and other stars with no real leader. | ||

They had a bad event, no question, but I don't think it's necessarily as bad as initially thought. | ||
