My problem with C9

#1

SquareMars

If tier one Valorant is supposed to be the absolute peak of skill with the greatest players in the world, why do we allow orgs like Cloud9 who are running budget rosters and effectively becoming a poverty franchise?

Riot needs to add some sort of relegation system, or C9 will just hold this spot and refuse to ever produce an actual winning team.

Specifically refering to this scrim leak: https://twitter.com/TrickAIM/status/1698158723703709773

Did you forget the 2023 regular season roster which had players that couldn't even qualify to tier two?

and they still went 8-1, you have to accept that sometimes unkown players (e.g. Demon1, jakee, runi) are better than more experienced, well-known players (e.g. BcJ, vanity)

People said this about old c9 but they were still good

Mce took the guard to masters and now they ascended. I think we can trust him to make a great roster with the almost endless NA talent available rn.

Yeah-oh wait. Didn't we just see mce with VANITY, YAY, XEPPA, LEAF AND ZELLSIS?? it clearly didn't work because they didn't have the same goals and vision, while all of the guard was fairly young and easy to mold into how mce wanted them. He can do it again. Also explains why jakee is still on the team as well.

Nah old C9 would have worked if they didn't do the shit they did
And jakee is only on the team because he accepts mininum wage while others don't want that

The point is that mce can turn previously unknown players, into the best of the best
