Ok call me insane but All of the happening in the scene are just too coincidental for me to close my eyes to it.
First, three things: C9 have been losing sponserships, Less money and at one point were looking like they were going to dissolve the org.
C9 is a staple org which is a key player in the big leagues of esports which leads to fanbase and co watching leading to money for that esport.
Now putting aside global reccesion what wouldd theoretically happen if cloud9 dissolve? Lots of money lost to investors and probably a lot of money will be pulled out of orgs.
This is a really bad situation. This might lead to downfall of many more orgs. How do we fix this?
Simply raise the companys reputation for more funds and sponsers. The best way to do this is To win a champion ship. And what better way to boost investor morale by proving that you did it with two college kids. but why cloud9? any oher org could also do this right? Well Cloud9 is teh 5th most valued company and has a importance in the field (why they were invited to franchizing).
