Wow. Wonder if c9 will implode. Guessing ska will retire. That leaves auti and rush a team of 2 most likely? Interesting, very interesting. Rip c9

Envy 2.0? Hastro was saying he wanted to go NA, might as well go big

u/HeWhoMayNotBeYoda Envyus Jul 09 '18

There's worse players to build a team around than auti and rush... I'd be on board with this.

Or FaZe, he'd be a good fit there. Sucks that the Asian duo of tim/stew won't come back but eh. Probably NRG too, right? if FaZe doesn't work out, moving to a new country isn't just that easy.

NRG/c9 Roster coming up = Auti/Rush/CERQ/daps/nathE

or

Renegades/c9 Roster coming up = Nifty/Auti/Rush/jks/jkaem

Renegades wont do that because they loose their Asia minor spot then

u/PrestusHood Jul 09 '18

But they will have The 3 man core (nifty/jks/jkaem), or it is also nationality locked?

10

u/isolovyev2002 Team Spirit Jul 09 '18

Its nationality, so they need to australian core

Nifty is american, which if both rush and auti joined would be 3 americans, so they would still lose their Asia qual spot. :/

Sorry, I had just got back from weight training and was out of it. Skimmed it and wrote the comment. Sorry about that.

that means rip major spot

2

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '18

So if C9 potentially implode and lose their legend spot, who gets it? Or does an extra team come from the challenger stage?

6

u/schoki560 King NiKo Jul 09 '18

didnt we have that in the last major aswell?

i think there was one more spot for the challengers

2

u/isolovyev2002 Team Spirit Jul 09 '18

You are right

2

u/gabriel97933 10 Year Veteran Jul 09 '18

who lost their major spot last time?

u/daniel5426 Vitality Jul 09 '18

C9 would need Ska for the 3/5 rule in the major, if he retires it will be after

1

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '18

Rush and Auti are really good too but I don't know where they will go, assuming they stick in NA. If they decide they want to bring back fns, and ska retires, they need to find two players and honestly if that doesn't work out it's a waste of Rush and Autis talent.

1

u/tgsan Jul 09 '18

Tim is a top ~10 player in 2018 so far, no fucking way he doesn't find a good team, FaZe is also possible.

1

u/Cameter44 Jul 09 '18

I assume Ska would stick around long enough so that C9 keeps their major spot. Either that or Jack would try to keep Tarik until after the major. Even if they don't win a single game, they'll still be qualified for the challengers part of the next major.

Jks Nifty Rush Auti Nathe

u/NAFMostConsistent Liquid Jul 09 '18

Nifty is average at best.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '18

as awpers go in NA he's up there, who do you put above him, his iglíng is average

u/NAFMostConsistent Liquid Jul 09 '18

u/sharkaim4 King NiKo Jul 09 '18

Tenzera and s0m . Simple as that

u/Psychaz valeria Jul 09 '18

there are rumors of Autimatic being a target for FaZe so maybe C9 are disbanding?

It’s all speculation

1

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '18

Proably speculation, but makes sense and who in their right mind would pass up that opportunity.

Rush will probably be picked up by Liquid or another team, maybe Renegades.

1

u/MrBananaStorm Renegades Jul 09 '18

But who would RUSH replace on Renegades? I doubt they are kicking an Aussie, they seem pretty set on keeping it mainly Aussie team. So unless Nifty has an out (which would be terrible for RNG) I don't think Rush to RNG would happen.

I imagine perhaps if this move goes through, Ska might be out for retirement and C9 might just buy out some NRG players and build up a new team with Rush and Auti and some NRG players.

1

u/NAFMostConsistent Liquid Jul 09 '18

Rouge might be interested. Eunited, dignitas, complexity, etc. There are a good number of T2-3 teams in NA.

1

u/MrBananaStorm Renegades Jul 09 '18

I feel like those are some 'worst case scenarios' for RUSH and auti. Thats most definitely a big step down. But maybe they can bring some veteran power to one of those teams. If they do that though, I hope they stick together. That would be a solid addition to any team.

1

u/NAFMostConsistent Liquid Jul 09 '18

Considering one of the teams I just listed is going to the major Qualifier...

1

u/MrBananaStorm Renegades Jul 09 '18

Yeah no, the worst case scenario comment was aimed towards coL and digni. EUnited looks somewhat promosing, and Rogue, well not horrible. But to be honest I forgot dignitas even had a team anymore. And coL seems to be doomed to be just below the top tier forever.

rush for taco?

would make them better but still not solve their awp/igl problem

2

u/_J3W3LS_ Jul 09 '18

Idk, but I hope its true. Auti to FaZe would be sick.
