Look at actual good ADCs. ADCs should have by far the best KDA ratio but sneaky's has always been underwhelming despite his team being dominant in LCS. He's pretty mediocre in every aspect tbh. | ||

Personally hoping its the former, as I feel like c9 still can go toe to toe with most international teams. its just that mistakes they make ate more readily punished in international fights compared to NA scene from LCS summer. C9 is the TSM of last year, winning everything back in the states, but not at the level to compete with EU. It could be mental tho. | ||

It is big fish small pond. C9 in some aspects are better than most NA teams (Shotcalling, rotation etc) but their laners are nowhere near an international standard. TSM is the only team that I think can challenge EU/KR/CN from NA next season (Barring any further roster changes). | ||

Their rotations and coordination wasn't on point compared to before. | ||

XDG is like the opposite, laning wise they can stand up to most but their shotcalling and rotation are beyond terrible. Both of their wins came from shitting on C9's lanes so hard and snowballing off it and they would have been 3-1 vs C9 if it wasn't for throwbargains. | ||

He definitely isn't one of the better ADCs but his "underwhelming" KDA and stuff like that... him and Lemon have pretty much been the Utility of the team, whereas other ADs had more of a carry role intended for them. He was a marksman, not an ADCarry. | ||

I just find that picture hilarious because of Soaz face, Alex smug look with the hilarious captions. the super lowquality 240p pictures of diamond and the other gambit members is the cherry on top. ( it was also mainly created in response to dandy's statement) | ||

I think Vulcun are really strong individually excluding Zuna and if they could fix the strategy side of the game (Which is easier then improving people individually) they'd be really strong. | ||

CLG always has spades of that. I kid, I kid. They're actually much more put together this iteration then previous ones.

The question for XD.GG (god I hate their new name) has always been not fucking throwing their tremendous early game leads in the mid/late game, but the throwbargains are just too attractive.
