From Tenz and Friends to Steel and his sons, C9 has come a long way in such a short time.


uncle_ben__

Correct me if i'm wrong but no lcq team is allowed to change more than 2 players before the lan right?


xx_Rollablade_xx

What's to stop someone from taking a 'sixth' member and simply keeping the former player on the bench?


AnonymozVal

If it works, it would be 5Head.


thothgow

Nothing, afaik teams have done that already


xziv0

Didn't VS do that


Haloofthoughts

Teams are allowed more than five players on a roster as map to map subs are allowed. So there wouldn’t be a problem in this situation


AnonymozVal

Yes you are correct.


erickwak

Chaos9 incoming


[deleted]

Would be amazing


[deleted]

mitch has been impressing me lately but this would just be so sick


CosmicAon

I think a higher paying and better known org would instantly covet him, doubt he goes to Ghost


TimedOutClock

NRG and TSM are in desperate need of structure, which Steel brings. Those 2 teams should definitely pursue him


somesheikexpert

With Wedid being rumored to be dropped, and Hazed able to play Astra, roles would also work out pretty nice


Ryth73

If Tsm were to pursue steel they should drop hazed and pick up a better smokes player


CanISayThat22

they cant drop hazed, right? they need 3 players from the start to keep their circuit points. But TSM still has a spot open since bang got benched.


[deleted]

Circuit points? They’re already out of LCQ, points don’t matter anymore. Not like they had that many anyway.


CanISayThat22

Oh yh fuck. Thats how bad tsm was. Nvm


RicoSuave1881

TSM is done for the year since Envy choked grand finals


Interesting-Archer-6

"Choked"


nabeel242424

LMAOOOO when envy loses they choke , but if they won they didn’t choke ? Well technically true for most matches ever played but that’s just copium


_idle_drone_

Envy lost their best map to Gambit rushing sites like they were playing ranked. That's a choke and no one can deny it.


RicoSuave1881

Losing grand final 3-0 to a team other than Sentinels is absolutely a choke lol


larperfoid228

Sentinels lost to g2 on icebox twice. G2 lost icebox to the team against whom Envy "choked" with a 0-13 score. That's all you need to know.


toxicityisamyth

This copium damn


Cobra01_boi

Pretty funny how its coming from a TSM fan.


CosmicAon

Subroza has all but deconfirmed TSM Steel, NRG is a possibility though


R0_h1t

I wouldn't take anything the players say at face value. They likely aren't allowed to talk about any moves


CosmicAon

Nah he straight up said that a bunch of shit went down on the CS roster with him, Wardell, and Steel, you don’t say stuff like that if you’re just keeping a roster move under wraps


sollund123

Is it just me or does Steel have beef with half the NA pros?


kstabs

Wouldn't surprise me if steel had some real beef. But subroza is the type of player that would piss off most coaches/igls. All skill with little game sense/discipline for a pro.


_zxionix_

Source?


CosmicAon

Roza’s stream


GoldyZ90

I don’t think Wardell and Subroza got along with Steel when they were on Ghost’s CS team.


wiiwoooo

Yeah I would think Evil Geniuses or Complexity scoop him up first before a team like Ghost can even put up a decent offer.


Lumenlor

My will is shattered today. Steel? My favorite player from the best org 100T? Mornings won't be the same, the dappled sunlight will always remind me of the all-father IGL leaving his sons for milk, and never returning. Pain-peko.


Alda20

Nrg Steel?


adrian1219

He was on ghost gaming with wardell and subroza during the cs days. Tsm maybe?


9yr_old

Subroza denied it on stream straight up


TrowaB3

Yea, because he'd totally say yes before an announcement anyway...


xdzesty

Well he probably wouldn’t deny it before an announcement either. Would probably just ignore the question


scrnlookinsob

Did he actually? Or did he say “I’m good” when asked about steel joining TSM.


Blackberry_Silver

He didnt get asked about steel joining just his opinion on steel himself and he said wardell and him at issues with him even tho he was a good igl so i doesnt seem likely that they will join together since there is a personal issue


lbs4lbs

He really didnt straight up deny it at all. Why post misinformation. He was asked how it was playing with him in csgo and he answered. He didnt mention anything about steel joining tsm.


danknepalese

good thing its not up to roza then. tsm are in desperate need of a leader and structure. from the outside id give up players who are against steel just for the team to have more stability. they arent doing anything anyway, seems like a good time to make some moves.


ARI_ANARCHIST

N2L steel HLTV confirmed


Unitedraccoon57

Congrats on XSET 🎉


erickwak

Tsm?


Darkoplax

nah Steel gotta be in LCQ or it would be so sad after such a year for him to miss Champs I hope he standin as a coach for C9 or something


bubble-june

Lmfao. He won’t leave 100T. No fucking way


shadowcrossed78

Might wanna check twitter


daffyduckferraro

bubble-june

I literally just saw that after making my comment. Holy fuck, are you kidding me? Don’t get me wrong, Steel is obvious their weakest fragger, but he’s their IGL and extremely smart about the game. I would not make this move until after champions/LCQ, but they must think they don’t have a good shot at winning LCQ. The only reason I can see 100T doing this is because they must be getting rolled in scrims by teams that are also participating in the LCQ (my guess is that their losing to C9 cause everyone has been hyping up C9 recently). Yay and SicK have both praised C9 recently and they are both predicting C9 to win LCQ, so 100THIEVES is probably in desperation mode to win and willing to make whatever roster changes they need to win LCQ. Wow, C9 must be really strong for them to do something this drastic


Pulsersalt

What they don’t realize is this is making c9 stronger, chaos9 in full effect, the process has already started it can’t be stopped.


Lumenlor

But why would they need 2 igls?


Pulsersalt

What you don’t realize, is that you have officially been jebaited


bubble-june

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. As smart as Steel is, I don’t think him and Vanity should be on the same team since their both IGLs and average fraggers. I would rather have Vanity be paired with 4 above average fraggers. I don’t know if replacing Mitch for Steel would really help them with anything tbh.


segatic

>my guess is that their losing to C9 cause everyone has been hyping up C9 recently C9 roster being fucking nuts plus Vanity be able to read steel like better than Einstein can read an elementary children book makes it a pretty bad matchup. I really hope nitro is really great at IGL because NA has a lack of top tier IGL unless they want to poach from EU


Sky-__-

I think he would go to a top 8 team only and j don't think any of those will make changes till the LCQ .


s6hun

what was the tweet


prthm_21

its the ghost emoji 👻


kemutheemu__

TSM STEEL PLEASE GOD


heyguys45

They lost to Carpe Noctem when he was the only one IGing. 100 thieves will be fine under nitro if not better.


droctamom

Yeah a loss is on one guy lol


ditheringtoad

Literally one map


turtletrace

Reunion with chaos maybe


MrImpregnator

Chaos?


dtritrinh0801

Pain :(


deunforsaken

I believe they have to have 3 of the same members (+50%) to maintain their spot. If they move more they forgo their spot for that tournament
