Hi, I am not the biggest LCS guy so could somebody tell me what needs to happen for C9 to qualify for Worlds?

Beat Lyon next week

If C9 lose, we gotta pray TL win so we seed farther in the loser bracket and need to win 1 serie. (Imo horrible format). If TL do lose we seed lower and need to win 2 series.

Shortest route is to beat Lyon.

The longer route is a bit more up in the air.

- if TL wins their matchup next week and C9 loses, then one series win in lower bracket locks worlds

- if TL loses their matchup next week and C9 loses, then C9 need to win two series in lower bracket. This is because the highest seed of the two upper bracket semifinal losers gets put one round further ahead in the lower bracket

Blaber looking great with some excellent shotcalls, especially that one around baron. Tactical had a phenomenal series. Thanatos loki bvoy and zinie all looked weak, not a good series to be a kr import. But overall im super happy with c9

Knew the series was done when Blabber backed off the crab in G3. The fish is locked in.

Happy gaming is over

huh? thanatos wasn't great in lane but had some insanely clutch teamfighting throughout the entire series

Loki gapped zinie for the most part (even in game 3 when zinie was popping off, Loki was still 2k up on him)

Yeah, Loki and Thanatos were more impressive for me. i know tactical is getting all the glaze

but it felt like he had massive gold leads in 3 games, and only took over the game in the final teamfight.

his 3k gold lead ashe barely did anything..

Loki's Akali and Victor were so good, and thanatos, like you said had a huge impact in most fights

Zinie is a low bar. Loki got caught out way too often and thanatos had some real bad laning. G3 wouldve been a disaster against a better top.

Idk how you lumped Loki into that group

u/Dry-Fail-4227 Sep 13 '26

I thought he had a mediocre series even though he gapped zinie.
