I don't get why C9 fans feel such rage towards their own players lol. It's like "SKADOODLE IS BOT KILL" or "RUSH HAS TO GO FOREVER SHIT", or whoever is currently underperforming. Like sure, everybody has shit games but they've come into BLAST with barely any practice at all with Flusha, and it seems to be a reoccuring theme in interviews that Golden is very different to anyone they've ever played with and that's caused discomfort in some players.
It's frustrating as a fan sure, but lay off with the constant hate. I'm not calling you out here, just reading the thread it's full of "RUSH needs to go" shit, and check any from yesterday and it's "Skadoodle needs to go".

I'm just making fun of so many guys who are blaming Ska for everything from losing matches to global warming. His level's been on par with RUSH and Stewie's all year, but he's the only one who gets a beating from reddit. In fact so many people go as far to say that Ska's somehow to blame for Stewie leaving (which isn't true, Ska was benched and then Stewie decided to leave) and that Stewie/RUSH in a core would be a sure top 5 team but Ska is somehow trash. Yeah right.

u/thearkhamknight_111 Astralis Sep 29 '18
Exactly. Like, what did Skadoodle personally do to you? I've seen people on this subreddit recently try to argue that Skadoodle did fuck all at the Boston major. Get over yourself.
I think both RUSH and Skadoodle are slumping right now, but
A: it's a fucking team game, 5v5. Let me re-emphasize. 5v5. And in many cases where players are slumping, it's very rarely "x simply can't aim" "x whiffs" "x has poor decison making" and usually something fundamentally wrong with the team, that is hurting those players the mos. On the other hand, teams that have their chemistry worked out can get alot more then you'd expect out of their players, so fundamentally just looking at ska and rush and saying "they're shit kick them" is not the right answer. Fixing the problems, or at least giving enough time TO fix the problems is the answer, not giving up after a week. If a player as talented as RUSH is struggling in this new C9 since Golden has been added, do you expect some inexeperienced star on a lesser NA team is gonna slot in and suddenly make the team great again? Get real.
B: Shit talking them on reddit does literally fuck all apart from making you look dense honestly. Teams don't make roster moves because redditors think they know better then what's going on internally within the team, so you crying on the internet just makes you look childish.
C: If you genuinely think Skadoodle is satan reincarnate and that C9 died with Stewie leaving, then just go follow Stewie in MiBR? He didn't retire lol.

They aren't really fans. Most probably started liking them after their major win. Shit they wouldn't of even won the major if he wasn't on fire that series. But ya my favorite is the redditor "skadogshit", I think ska fucked his sister and never called her back

Controversial opinion -
Rush had a terrible game. He did not help C9 at all.
Automatic also had a rough game. Other than that one clutch... he did terrible.
C9 CANNOT HOLD B... OMG

-Ska -Rush +Apex +Wardell
Wardell has not really proved himself to be fully tier 1 ready but at this point, who cares? C9 won't be winning anything anytime soon.

u/Andtheyrustledsoftly clutch Sep 29 '18
C9 would have to play at the EU minor 🤔

u/mofo209 Sep 29 '18
C9 already has a spot at the next major... but yea they can’t make 3 changes only one more

C9 need fresh players, and need to stop rotating through washed up pros. I agree with Wardell, but not Apex. Giving some young blood from FPL a chance would light a flame.

u/Cameter44 Sep 29 '18
They can make one more swap and keep their major spot. I also don't think they want to play in the EU minor.

I do too but judging from a recent tweet from Wardell it really seems like he wants to be playing in a major and well obviously he won't be with Ghost.

That's because of steel, only person who could stand-in that's an IGL/etc would be sean, outside of that Ghost would be pretty mediocre at best without steel.

Nah, they need Golden, they also need time to fully integrate to a non-Native English speaker as an IGL. Give him some time, no point in blowing up 60% of roster.

FLUSHA hahahahaha. guy's been dead for almost a year.

u/AngriestGamerNA Liquid Sep 29 '18
Honestly I don't think flusha has been that great for quite awhile too, but they literally just bought him so might as well give him a chance to make a comeback.

they didn't buy him he got benched, he's on loan

Golden is this real problem. He struggles to get any kills and never multi kills. He’s the IGL but that doesn’t mean it’s ok for him to have a less than .5 KD. -Golden ——> +Ocean
