Why was C9 so good at the beginning of this year, even against the xset roster and optic roster that went to champions then? It can't have just been xeta carrying the team. The core of C9 is extremely good, they just haven't been able to shine when they had their initiator player downgraded suddenly. I'm not saying C9 is the best in the Americas league but they are definitely contenders especially since they have upgraded both of their weak links from this year
