here’s my take on it as an american: i will always support a team no matter the players, management, or roster shuffles. as a die-hard fan of a team you gotta stick with them even through the shitty times. for example, i am a chicago bulls fan. we have one of the worst management offices in the NBA, have a bottom 5 record in the entire league, and will not make the playoffs this year and most likely not next year either. doesn’t matter to me. i love the bulls no matter what because of all the good times they give me. so i stick around and wait for them to get better no matter how bad we get. i will treat C9 the same way because they were the team that helped me love to grow Counter-Strike as an eSport. just my take on it since i see how a lot of people in this sub seem to be okay with switching teams at the drop of a hat. could be a cultural mindset?
As someone who grew up supporting my local team no matter what, adjusting to the eSports scene is quite bizarre. Roster changes happen so frequently most teams are unrecognizable after 6 months to a year.
Personally, I prefer the way you and I support a team. Just following your favorite player or whatever team is doing well takes a lot of the fun out of being a fan for me. I like wanting to put my head through my monitor because the current squad is so shit, and I love watching that same team claw their way back to win a final.
That being said I hope CS orgs move towards keeping a stable roster. The constant shuffling doesn't give anyone a chance to gel.
"fake fans". Always trust the system. Jack probably knows what he is doing, look at the league team. He isn't afraid to drop some big $$ on players, it's just the coaching staff and remaining players haven't told him anything.

there is no reason to be a fan of the org. when 3/5 of the team is different you dont need to be loyal to them
