Besides leaf and zellsis, the rest kept losing aim duels because of bad sprays from pressure, missed utility and overpeeking angles with a classic, Jakee and Runi did those things a few rounds and died while Xeppaa just sprayed and lost duels on the flank.
Masters will be different as far stronger teams with experience than C9 will be contending for the title. Still C9 made it close so GGs to them for an incredible season.
Even if C9 somehow make champs over SEN and 100T, i'd be surprised most of their players are lacking experience on big stages while SEN and some 100T players have a ton of experience on LAN, signing Jakee and Runi wasn't bad necessarily but in the Regular Season, Zellsis, Leaf and Xeppa carried them a ton, Runi literally looks like FNS but he can't win duels and Jakee looks decent but i'd take most challegers players over like GMD. I just think signing unknow collegiate players is kinda random when you could've probably worked out a lot of the role changes with YAY, Like you could've had YAY play the Jett or take something out of SEN and LOUD's playbooks by running double duelist on Fracture, Split and Bind.
