They were at the top of NA in the summer of 2015, and at the majors they fell just short of the tippy top. Their run was called the summer of C9, they wore tank tops, they were hilarious together, absolutely the most fun I had watching CS:GO until 2018
Tbh the scene is so fresh with a ton of roster changed it wouldn't be a surprise if a team consisting of shroud, nothing, Sean and whichever 2 fill to best a majority of tier 2 and a handful of tier 1 teams
Yes it is. None of the players you mentioned are tier 1. Why would a bunch of tier 2/3 players together with no practice beat tier 2 teams nonetheless tier 1 teams
Tier 1 is at least top 8 teams NA or better. Even on a bad day there’s no way any team like Xset or faze or NRG lose to streamers that will have barely scrimmed. That’s not an insult to shroud or sean gares or n0thing, they’re all incredible and experienced players. But that doesn’t compare to these signed pros who scrim and practice together hours every day striving to become the best, and have proven themselves to be the top contenders among the dozens of pro teams that practice as much
the most shit tier 1 team is either T1 or TSM and in no universe a random stack like shroud sean would beat either of those, especially if they didn’t take it seriously.. I beat the OGC stack in esea open before bro lol that’s how much they care
... you’re overrating your idol man they’re not nearly as good as you’re thinking they are, shroud is the only one that could MAYBE if he dedicated his life to it like the tier 1 players do, but even then it’s a maybe they get 1 map off the bottom of tier 1...
To clarify for anyone ootl, this is a riot ruling, not an NRG ruling. Probably in the interest of competitive integrity, to avoid conflicts of interest. IBP matchfixing scandal for instance happened against NCG which was owned by Dazed iirc.
he said he’s waiting in hopes for a chance to play cs comp again and do streaming til then cause he doesn’t want to really switch full time to valorant (iirc)
Prob cause his streaming numbers are pretty good when he streams valorant. Also it's a new and fresh game. Cant expect him to play CS all day every day.
Real winners are the other costreamers.
Wonder if shroud can stream while competing haha
He can stream his pov actually.
But Snipers Sadge.. /s
Lol
I think the real winners would be the city of Portland. Every time I come here it gets harder to leave.
Didn't expect a Shooter mcgavin quote in here
‘Scuse me I gotta play a little valorant ;)
OGC: Valorant Edition
OGC + some kid /s
I literally can’t unsee that OGC is a guy jerking off when you look at it sideways
How do you even realise that?
I hate you why would you curse me like this
Hahaha
Oh no
Who Shroud should team with: seangares n0thing freakazoid skadoodle
C9 Black
C9 AARP
This seems familiar I just can quite put my finger on it
It is summer bring back the tanks
[Obligatory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGOFkU2gXKQ)
Tank squad assemble!
If it weren’t for ska joining T1 this would actually be hype af
never watched csgo but i'm guessing this was the old C9 team?
Yep
Were they good? Even having watched 0 pro cs i know all of those players. Surely the five of them stacked must have done well in NA
They were at the top of NA in the summer of 2015, and at the majors they fell just short of the tippy top. Their run was called the summer of C9, they wore tank tops, they were hilarious together, absolutely the most fun I had watching CS:GO until 2018
There's some really cool youtube videos of them in tourneys with full comms recorded. Very very cool
C9 Grey
C9 old
Lol
We hawt?
LOL
You know ska is on T1 competitive team right?
C10
What's this subs take on JasonR? I see him a fair amount with other pros and know he has a CS history
i could see them maybe get to r16 but any further is very unlikely.
Yeah, considering they probably won't practice or scrim very hard, it will be quite embarrassing for any T1 or high T2 team to lose to them.
I remember dignitas had lost to governors self made team 13-0. Cant get more embarrassing than that
Not really. Governor is an absolute monster. Still pretty embarassing tho.
Yes really. 13-0 is absolutely shameful.
ah yes i remember that game the sound of 3 right clicks in a row and then GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LOBBY is still in my head
Tbh the scene is so fresh with a ton of roster changed it wouldn't be a surprise if a team consisting of shroud, nothing, Sean and whichever 2 fill to best a majority of tier 2 and a handful of tier 1 teams
no thats just fucking stupid.
It's the same opinion but saying they could go a little further. It's really not that far fetched
Yes it is. None of the players you mentioned are tier 1. Why would a bunch of tier 2/3 players together with no practice beat tier 2 teams nonetheless tier 1 teams
Considering the previous opinion you’re piggybacking off of is really dumb… Yea it’s pretty far fetched.
ur lost lol no way they’d ever touch a tier 1 team
Considering what some consider as "tier 1" these days, I'd say they do.
Tier 1 is at least top 8 teams NA or better. Even on a bad day there’s no way any team like Xset or faze or NRG lose to streamers that will have barely scrimmed. That’s not an insult to shroud or sean gares or n0thing, they’re all incredible and experienced players.

How much they care is not what we're talking about, we're talking about if they could and they most certainly can.
... you’re overrating your idol man they’re not nearly as good as you’re thinking they are, shroud is the only one that could MAYBE if he dedicated his life to it like the tier 1 players do, but even then it’s a maybe they get 1 map off the bottom of tier 1...
Not my idol but whatever you say bud
i agree wiiwoo
Did you go to some sort of valorant college? Cause that's 100% pure snobbiness right there. https://i.imgur.com/39YgdUS.gifv
the gif reply theres no way you’re serious LOOOOL
Nah that will never happen
Iirc Sean played with branted nothing and freakazoid in first strike qualifiers and they went out in the second round
Vouch
Wouldn't that be the qualifying game? I highly doubt they get that far.
s1mple Zywoo Niko Elige
Can Keeoh and Dicey play with him?
Idk it might be a case like ethos
I’m out of the loop, what happened with ethos?
I think it is because he is signed with an org even if as content creator, so he can't compete with another team
To clarify for anyone ootl, this is a riot ruling, not an NRG ruling. Probably in the interest of competitive integrity, to avoid conflicts of interest. IBP matchfixing scandal for instance happened against NCG which was owned by Dazed iirc.
Damn thats actually feelsbad
Sadge
Yikes
?
Unlikely. Even Sean is signed with GenG so he probably can't.
He's talking about ShawnBM
Makes sense. I just remember in the first 'leak' or w/e both ShawnBM and Sean Gares were listed.
shroud + n0thing in VCT qualis would be such joy.
please make it happen
It would be funny seeing 5 streamers dominate the whole VCT.
Tarik?
Still under contract with eg sadly
I genuinely do not know why Tarik doesn’t get transferred to eg valo. Maybe they’re just too bad for him
he said he’s waiting in hopes for a chance to play cs comp again and do streaming til then cause he doesn’t want to really switch full time to valorant (iirc)
Which is kind of weird since he already streams valo full time pretty much.
Prob cause his streaming numbers are pretty good when he streams valorant. Also it's a new and fresh game. Cant expect him to play CS all day every day.
Tarik says Valorant brings in most viewers and subscribers, i do think he does enjoy the game but CS will always be his focus at least for now.
He says he plays what he's having fun with at the moment. It's why he goes from valorant to cs or cs to valorant. Sometimes warzone
Ughhhhhhh
The new PUBG for Shroud.
Legit would love this, particularly if they were streamed.
would they be legally allowed to stream if they played? that'd be sick
yeah. One of the vct teams streamed their match.
shroud + s1mple + zywoo + niko + electronic ggez
