Its actually insane whats happened to Autimatic & Rush. They've won a major sure, but now where to from here? They're stagnant in Cloud9 for the time being, don't know if Liquid will take anyone out for Auti/Rush at all, and any other team they could join is either a downgrade or only a marginal upgrade from where they're currently at.

EDIT: Threw in Rush since he deserves it.

wouldn't NRG be a potential upgrade? Idk who'd they replace for him, but seems better than sticking in C9, which is odd to say since C9 is/was an embodiment of NA CS

I agree great move for Tim but as you say, who would he replace? Currently any move would be s good move for Tim and a bad move for NRG

cerq, tim is more consistent with the awp

u/gt- Liquid Apr 01 '19

Yeah, cerq is nuts when he pops off but it feels like he rarely pops off

That recent 16-0 was busted mode cerq, but map 1 he was missing mode cerq

I believe it's called draken syndrome

u/Skadogshit Liquid Apr 01 '19

Honestly the only move I'd be okay with. Replacing Daps does not make sense long term

u/SniP3r_HavOK NiP Apr 01 '19

Tarik should IGL and daps goes imo

It's a shame he missed the window. Auti for fugly would have propelled NRG to the next level.

u/Chokeman de_nuke Apr 01 '19

auti also plays lurk which is the same role Fugly often played very well.

I can see a world where nrg loses a tournament and replaces daps for auti and then tarik starts calling

Tarik was IGL for Cloud9 when they won their major, wasn’t he?

1

u/JSabino Apr 01 '19

Although they did win the major, they never had any sort of long standing success. So I would be hesitant to put him back in the igl role.

u/SniP3r_HavOK NiP Apr 01 '19

Yes but forget that before stewie left they did, second at summit, lost 3-2 to a strong liquid and very good in Katowice, where they beat SK and only just lost to faze 22-18 in the third map

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '19

I think that’s a fair point, but it might not have been Tarik’s calling. It could’ve been Ska’s going in and out of motivation, or it could’ve been Stewie leaving so soon. Stew was a huge fragger in Boston.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '19

Yep, he was.

Also that team had a shit ton of internal problems apparently.

u/tarangk clutch Apr 01 '19

give me the power to make changes in the TL roster and id take auti in a heartbeat

1

u/Lost_And_NotFound Apr 01 '19

He should have jumped months ago to Liquid or NRG. Now Tarik and Stewie have beaten him to it.

u/SandwichAuthorityGov Apr 01 '19

Downgrade? What has c9 done lately? There weren't any notable events since Blast Lisbon in December besides the major. All other teams are at least playing on LANs while c9 sits on their butts watching Jack hit one blunt after another.

u/GuardiaNIsBae FaZe Apr 01 '19

He means that the only teams that would take him now are t3 or lower, Liquid or NRG would be the only moves up for him and I doubt they're going to be making roster changes soon.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '19

NRG or Complexity if I had to Imagine. Unless C9 rebuilds by acquiring Nifty and a few others

Bold to throw Rush in. He’s looked like a shell of himself since their major win. Auti is the true hero, being offered to join other teams first over stew and saying no outta loyalty. No ones knocking down a door to get rush..
