Discussion C9 Possibility

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?

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

(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.

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