Rossy interview

Pretty chill dude from the interview. A few things questionable on his side - not waiting for the talks to end, staying at a different place from team etc - but understandable.

The talks were ended, he was pretty sure he's getting booted out. C9 could have intentionally put him in a temporary living space near the facility while getting his living space with the team ready

yeah, the talk prolly wouldn't have mattered in the end.
But c9 really fumbled tho. It looks like they are trapped by their own players who don't want to change.
Most of them signed to 2027-28.

I dont like the idea of team houses, living with them would cause you to get tired of your teammates faster imo, no?

theres a reason why all cs teams stopped having them, i dont know much about val teams though

idk anything about how orgs set up living spaces, but i kinda figured they lived in the same building but they weren't like forced in the same spaces 24/7 like a house.

Not sure for all/most orgs but in the case of Sentinels for example, they live in the same apartment complex which imo is way better.

Most orgs do that (G2, SEN NRG) that I know but C9 has like 2 houses

like oxy and xeppaa seem like cool guys, but I don't think I'd be able to ~live~ with them every single day

don't get why they couldn't respect rossy simply showing up for work/ranked everyday, not every team needs frat chemistry

Every team does need that frat chemistry tho, look at PRX vs EDG pearl at Tokyo if they all just "showed up for work/ranked everyday" and didn't have that close chemistry no way in hell would they have made that 4-11 comeback or even made 3rd in that case.

They are going to have to play with each other for the rest of the season most likely (or at least until after kickoff) and having someone who's basically just some random person that you get in a ranked q instead of an actual close friend wouldn't make any sense. Would you rather play with someone random in ranked or one of your closest friends?

24 NRG didn't have that chemistry and is why they failed so badly

I'm more frustrated that C9 has had that high level of chemistry in the past with mediocre results, experienced markedly improved tournament performances under Rossy's allegedly unfun regime, and now has opted to regress again.

Of course PRX/EDG-level is ideal, but the choice that C9 faced here wasn't between a PRX-type team and a '24 NRG-type team, I think.

I have faith in Mitch, but man I feel like if a kid like Rossy not only survives a year in APAC franchising but comes back and ~succeeds~ (tactically) as an IGL, it has to mean something ...

He also said now he has talks with some tier1 and tier2 teams. Hope works out for him.
