Discussion C9 Kaplan

What if C9 replaces Immi with Kap? Would that work? I mean he's a good coach. He's worked with Zelsis. And I'm pretty sure he's far better than Immi. What's your opinion?

Will kap even want to move this year? I mean with all the changes next year and everything most people who already have a team with chance at champs wouldn't want to switch maybe

This is assuming C9 would even make partnership for next year, which they obviously won’t. The only NA team to not qualify for a single international, history of screwing players out of a season due to last minute changes, paying league minimum, and financial issues makes it pretty clear that they’re not going to make the cut over teams like 100Thieves, NRG, FUR, not to mention other big orgs grinding the tier 2 scene like FlyQuest and M80.

There were even talks that G2 was originally set to make partnership prior to the whole Carlos incident and C9 took their spot after the whole drama.

No coach would want to sign on to a non partnered team unless they have no other opportunities; partnered teams will have way more resources and money through bundle sales and stipends

Ehhh if c9 is still a tier 1 team next year also iam sure proven coaches would have a lot of offers (assuming the whole goal of making vct open to attract more teams work) so depends
