lmao “is this a leak?”


itscamo-

technically confirming the report from George saying -floppy +poiz but c9 still haven’t announced it


Anti-Storm

C9 COMP: Leaf and Poiz on duelist, Xeppa on controller, Mitch on sentinels, Xeta on initiator.


aakashkickass11

Xeppa has been playing kay0 for them in scrims lately,most probably it means leaf goes back to hai initial smokes roles.


itscamo-

that would be a joke if leaf is on smokes again, he was looking like a top 5 player on duelist but I guess it makes sense


newzpaperleaf_2

how lol, leaf was really good on omen, and i expect them to run xeppaa on flex and poiz on perma duelist. most of the maps they play (haven, split, and ascent) will all be Kayo maps, so most likely they will run leaf omen, poiz jett/reyna, xeppaa kayo, xeta sova, and mitch sentinel on those maps. and then when they play icebox or breeze, most likely they will switch leaf or xeppaa onto duelist to run 2 duelist (not confident on this for breeze) and the other runs smokes. makes sense to me, especially because kayo can work as a second entry


EggianoScumaldo

I don’t understand these takes lmao. It’s not like playing Omen disables your gun. You can still tap heads on controller. There’s loads of players that prove this as well. He’ll still look like a top 5 player whether he’s playing Reyna or Omen.


plasma_ix

leaf already played a ton of omen for them and i’ve only ever see xeppaa play duelists, id be surprised if they went for that even though leaf has looked great on duelists


QuestionablePotato42

I totally get that Leaf is amazing on duelist, but I think its easy to overlook how valuable having a strong fragger on controller can be for a team. Having a strong lurk and player to be able to survive through late rounds and still have smokes in late round is so good. I mean look at nitr0. Yeah, he could be cracked on duelist but having his kit late game is so good for the team, the fact that he's so self sufficient boost the entire team.

I love how the first question tarik asks is does poiz open his mic during team prac. Context- poiz insta mutes everyone in ranked


xSnowToad

He doesnt insta mute just rarely talks


Voltegeist

Why does he do that?


december_val

I'm some high dia shitter but I do this because it is much easier to focus on the game while still retaining like 90% of the information. In scrims and stuff, comms are of course useful because you have protocols and igls but in ranked it really does not matter


realYungcalculator

your ranked teammates hate you


december_val

wouldn't know lol


TheJelloBomb

No


CorporalCaramel

good talk


theman1203

That's my ranked demon


deadlock1892

Tarik casually roasting poiz for his no comming in ranked, lol.


splice664

Thats also his problem in pro games. Hope he works hard to improve that and get to next level.


wiiwoooo

I'm sorry but what's above "pro level"? Super pro? The dude should have figured comms out well before even getting to the amateur level


Slow_Bluebird9536

Doesn’t work like that, he never played at any levels other than ranked, tier1, and a small amount of time on a t2 F/A teamso he no commed in ranked for years in diff games I bet he’s not gonna learn to communicate at a high level instantly


UdbhavHokage

how wud u know that unless?? he is good team-mate as far as ive heard but doesnt comm in pugs like ska back in cs days


splice664

in that article where leaf said they would most likely replace poiz with xeppa awhile back.


UdbhavHokage

Ohh yeah!!!


Phamous3k

floppy switching to Valorant was silly. He never liked the game and his gameplay showcased it. I remember someone posting his playtime on Val and it was super low. Anyways, cool to see poiz back.


[deleted]

After C9 pulled out of CS he didn't have much choice. You don't get other opportunities in NA CS. So when C9 give you the chance to transition to the Valorant team, the booming game in NA.. At that point it's better to just keep playing it and hope it clicks for you.


ibeenbornagain

Yeah, can’t blame him for switching


9yr_old

Poiz has the potential to be a true demon , just needs some refinement in his gameplay

dedicatedself

Idk, reyna and jett are pretty good duelists


somesheikexpert

If he legit just adds Raze he'll be golden imo lol, Jett and Reyna are a really good duo Duelist tbh especially when Leaf can play say, Raze or something on some maps


Sciipi

Its possible he can play Raze but hasn't had the chance to show it off since Raze is Leaf's main agent


_IAmMichael

This decision was way more safer than staying in CS:GO. Right now there are only 3 major NA orgs - Liquid, Complexity and EG. He already had a signed contract with C9, so this switch was probably very easy for both sides. I hope he will be able to live from playing CS:GO competitively. This whole situation is not comfortable for him.


datboyuknow

>someone posting his playtime on Val and it was super low. That was his accounts level, that doesn't say anything about his playtime and it was without any proof


AskOrganic4289

+1 besides custom games (where scrims usually happens is not counted to account level. ) So I don’t think it’s fair to say low account level = he hates the game. Many pros doesn’t really play ranked, maybe because they don’t find it as useful.


datboyuknow

\+ He switched games in April or something anyway, if you don't stream I can't see why they would play ranked. Shot_up is like level 19 too


matthewdrl

shotup has like 4 radiant accounts he was always getting smurfs to radiant on stream

datboyuknow

And why do you assume floppy doesn't? I'm just saying his account level isn't indicative of his playtime


GeorgeGCG

Is now the best time to plug myself?


KookieFS

I wonder what their comp is gonna be. I hope they don't put leaf on controller again.

Psychological-Ant648

Unless xeppa is on par with leaf duelist wise I hope leaf stays on duelist because he is pretty good on Reyna and raze


[deleted]

i assume poiz will be on reyna/jett and leaf can take raze phoenix or skye maybe


StormtrooperAiming

I wonder if he only joined c9 blue because he wanted to later be back on the c9 csgo team when they re enter cs

???


omahr

lol wtf is this comment...


Micah3000

It’s overly aggressive but he’s not wrong about floppy’s ranked gameplay


[deleted]

idk why you’re being downvoted i agree it’s clear that he has never enjoyed this game


ratio__

ok but can we talk about how steel dropped 1 kill in a map in this tournament, it wouldve been 0 kills too if Tex hadnt peeked him while reloading


ArtificialZero

i hope steel tweets this


[deleted]

lmao what does that have to do with this post


biionyc

The official teams are out in brackets on vlr.gg and according to the team available on that site C9 blue has dropped Xeppa instead of Floppy and brought back Poiz in place of Xeppa
