Not really. It was still Chamber meta and he wasn't even dominating. Sao Paulo C9 yay beat a PRX before something came along and lost to a very mid DRX. The guy is washed tbh. When you have multiple teammates you've played with say your not a good teammate, no one will want you.
Idk shit, but it definitely felt like a financial issue bc c9 also randomly disbanded their GC team when they were killing the NA scene. Also they randomly picked up a collegiate player, no shade to jakee but there was definitely more proven T2 players at the time. But all speculation on my part
