Haven’t really seen anyone mention it, but C9 need a replacement for curry and Marved is the best smokes on the market rn. yay and Marved have also joked about staying together a LOT. Thoughts?

controller is one of the simplest agents to play. and they can typically blow their smokes and run in with duelists, which is good if you're an entry-IGL type.
initiator used to be a good IGL role when sova was always played, since sova is kinda designed to sit back and stay alive all round. fade/skye/kayo are all used as entry agents NOW though, so controllers are still >>>
sentinel agents are decent for IGL, but you're lurking on attack and not with the team, so it's not ideal. i threw them in since FNS

Why tf are you being down fragged??? Curry literally only played sova fade breach kayo and viper with c9. Maybe brim ONCE in a mickey mouse tourney, but otherwise he only played initiator.

He played controller for a while, I’m just offering it up as a possibility

But he didn't play controller with c9 did he? It doesn't matter what tf he played when he wasn't with c9, its about the role he played while he was with c9 which eas mainly initiator flex. Unless marved can learn sova, breach and fade to a high level, his roles will overlap with vanity.

I literally mentioned it so vanity can go to initiator which he wants to in the first place

Because it shows how much your into the esport downvoting something that's been brung up earlier this year that Vanity didn't want to IGL and play smokes at the same time but stay on the viper still with initiator roles

But he's one of the best smoke players in NA and vanity doesn't play sova well, which is still essential for a good team comp on a couple of maps.

I have been thinking of this, & C9 need a Sentinel or Controller. If Marved joins, Vanity will most likely move to Sentinel.

yay - Primary Oper/Duelist
leaf - Flex/Secondary Duelist
Xeppa - Primary Initiator/Secondary Flex
??? - Sentinel
Vanity - Controller

Just my thoughts :)

The problem is that sentinel agents aren't in the meta rn. Therefore, a player who can flex initiators and is able to adapt to new roles well is needed.

you are totally right! but I worry about a team that builds for this current meta as opposed to an unchanging one. ya know? also considering how Riot is actively trying to nerf Chamber and buff other sentinels like Cypher. Its tough to build for though. Thats for sure!

yeah that is true. i am scared that most teams that dont have a player who can play sentinel agents to a high level (like less or stellar or alfajer or rb) will suffer a lot, which looks like an issue c9 are going to have to deal with. also, i partiallly agree that marved is a really good pickup, but it would only be as a 6th man in the current meta since double controller meta is long gone, and has been replaced with triple inititator meta instead. thats why c9 needs to think really carefully about their fifth and sub imo.

Pretty sure the fifth is trent, marved might just go to NRG or EG
