Was the language barrier that unbearable(can't be worse than fnatic comms) or C9 players were just being crybabies
Probably because it's cheaper than them signing a new player so they choose to trade. Also, I think of this as a contingency plan if by any chance that they don't make it through franchising and waste money by buying a player but only use them for a couple of months. If they make it through they can just scrap the whole team and rebuilt a better one since lots of teams without franchising will sell their player.
