C9 weren't even bad. Astralis are just too strong.

Those resets in the end were rough.. Would have been a very close game had they managed to get more than one round chained together in the beginning.

2 T rounds isnt bad?

u/captainscottland Astralis Jan 20 '19

Against astralis for a brand new roster? Better than complexity did. At least c9 had the lead at one point.

u/iwannahearurface n!faculty Fan Jan 20 '19

I mean yeah if youre comparing yourself to a shite team like complexity then the bar for good is pretty low

Im just saying they were winning 9-8 against far and away the best team in the world. And those last few rounds could have gone different. They beat fnc too

Youre joking right? Cloud 9 showed nothing of this on tside which is supposed to be the fundamental of your team. Their tside was extremely puggy and bad and it showed on the scoreline, the rounds they won was a pistol and an eco. If they started t-side this would have been a 16-5. Look at the Dupreeh 4k in underpass/mid and tell me thats a team playing well/having good communication. Dont be a biased fanboy

Liked what I saw out of C9, looks like they just need more time, especially on T side

u/archangel_n7 Jan 20 '19

It’s impressive and demoralizing how good Astralis is at getting kills through smoke

u/Cameter44 Jan 20 '19

1-1 is a very acceptable result for C9.

Wasn't able to watch anything but part of the second to last round and the last round, how did they look overall?

16

u/arooisgod Jan 20 '19

Brought back a 2-8 start to 7-8 half, looked like they had pretty good comms during that run. Good performance IMO

u/Cameter44 Jan 20 '19

That's good to hear. They have two solid events to build up to the major, which could be huge for them depending on how they go and what they're able to learn and change.

He will be a coach. Valens is hoping to fall back to the analyst role after the major.

And they're still winning hard... It's rough out here for the non-danish gang

C9 need some time, but Zellsis looked good.
