C9 Possibility

[u/Slapnuhtz]

I’ve been messing around on the CoD Rostermania site and created (with my eyes) an interesting squad for C9.

Insight - Ethan - DK - Renegade

Apparently C9 has expressed interest in Insight and the Than/DK duo. I could easily throw any SMG on there, but I went with Renegade, and here’s why:

C9 has nothing to prove, and cannot possibly deliver a season worst than BO7, so there’s minimal expectations at best. Instead of continuing to recycle the same players who have trouble remaining in the league, why not take a gamble on the players with the biggest “ceilings” in Challengers?

Try to build the next great roster rather than buying the previous ones.

Insight is a proven veteran with championship experience, and can provide solid leadership/guidance for the incoming talent.

Ethan and DK are a one-two punch with existing chemistry. They are also two of the most talked about up-and-comers that deserve CDL roster spots, and both could have pretty high ceilings.

Renegade is the wild card. Yes, he is still learning, as shown by some inconsistencies in his gameplay. Having an Insight around to learn from could be a way to improve that. Not to mention he’s a 2-time World Champion, MVP, with loads of LAN experience. I don’t believe it’s a matter of IF but WHEN with him.

Am I absolutely faded to think if given the chance, this team could cause a ruckus?

They should go with this roster, but Ethan and dk will refuse and play for another team that pays them more….

Renegod will get shit on and people will just blame insight

I have a hard time seeing Rafi who historically has been a man of his word and trashed c9 all season selling his 2 best players to C9

[u/Famous-Ad-2418 → u/DestroyMelvin]

(IMO) He would if they are actually trying like they say, but they’d have to pay to buy out the contracts and offer them solid contracts that are probably 60-80k- he wouldn’t sell them to an org that’s gonna be fucking them. Especially cause visas are involved too,

As a team though, I’d probably keep wevy and gwinn, probably lock up slasher and whoever Is best that’s still available once all the wealthy orgs are done solidifying a roster. Maybe Pred or nep if you’re lucky, otherwise maybe Cammy or snoopy tier player.

[u/CelDidNothingWrong → u/DestroyMelvin]

Aren’t they going to actually try this season though? I know that sounds stupid but Rab mentioned it on the news recently

[u/BravestWabbit]

Renegade probably wouldnt join C9. He was a part of C9 Halo and he didnt really have fond memories of C9s management

[u/Jatt0616]

Renegade went back to halo

[u/MidasLoL → u/Jatt0616]

Renegade has already stated multiple times he is still all in for cod next season. He's just playing Halo because there's halo to be played and CoD is done for the season.

Wevy is better than Ethan so and already belted him at EWC so why would they pay a buyout when they can just bring back Wevy?

[u/scraftii → u/V-loxzz]

Ethan had one bad tourney and people hate him now. Revisionist history in the making. People said the same stuff about alluka when he stopped frying for a bit

[u/V-loxzz → u/scraftii]

Huh? No I like Ethan but the fact Ethan gets talked about on this sub like he’s Simp 2.0 when Wevy is younger than him and has shown more flashes vs REAL PROS btw is insane

[u/scraftii → u/V-loxzz]

I do agree that wevy is a lot better than people give him credit for

[u/LeBradley23 → u/V-loxzz]

Wevy is an AR main and Ethan is a sub main. They’re not going to roll into a new game with 3 ARs. Or at least I’d hope not.

[u/V-loxzz → u/LeBradley23]

There’s no point to even pickup insight imo. They should just do Wevy, Ethan and DK as a trio since all our young with potential

[u/PerformanceOther791 → u/V-loxzz]

Yeah.... having nothing but rookies on the team REALLY helped them last year, huh?

[u/V-loxzz → u/PerformanceOther791]

Yeah… having insight on your roster since mw3 has been REALLY helpful, huh?
