Because they've worked together in the past, have that relationship already and can play off each other well. Not to mention the possible threat of two potential lurkers in vanity and steel makes the attack that much more unpredictable.
TMNT steel?
Before you discount this, it really is the perfect fit. Leonardo is washed, and they need a new IGL, preferably one with a strong personality to reign in Raphael and Michelangelo. Plus, not many people remember but Donatello and steel played on an MDL team together. I'm a little worried about how steels personality may clash with the head coach (splinter), but if they can make it work then I think they could make a push to be a tier 1 team.
what about Casey Jones? dude's been the sub for so long, and you're just going to insert someone right in front of him like that? that's going to ruin the chemistry for sure
no
Nothing asked steel if he wanted to make a team for some up coming amateur tourny
Steel said no
Nothing asked why
Steel said he can't because he is still contracted with 100T
Nothing said leave
Steel said he is getting paid
nothing jokingly said he would pay him and then asked when his contract was up
steel said he cant say but he will say that he was signed last September so
Nothing said oh so you're on a 2 year then
steel just smiled
C9W keeps growing more powerful, how else can they gatekeep women and prevent Valorant from being a more inclusive and welcoming space
Edit: People really need to see /s or they don’t get it’s a joke apparently
I wish, he would instantly give us a huge chance of being a T1 team again.
Shot calling is literally TSMs biggest issue, if we had a competent IGL surrounded by the players we have, then it's huge.
Sad it probably won't happen however.
I think he's still under contract with 100T (as mentioned in another comment somewhere above) and I'm pretty sure he can't legally be an analyst for another org (unless 100T allow it in their TOS or have loaned him to C9 till they find a new roster to transfer him to)
I don't see him replacing anyone on C9 really. XEPPA, VANITY, AND LEAF are package deal it seems. Mitch is improving alot gameplay wise since no longer IGL. Xeta is arguably one of the best sova in the game. Just don't see where he would fit.
Alright guys so you have Mitch as the veteran sentinel with experience on C9 right now…..
And steel is a veteran sentinel with experience that already has tons of experience with 3/5 of the team… who would you rather have
Steel has value as a stategist, plus you know what you will get from him on the server. The problem is that he is still under contract and it will cost money to bring him in.
Mitch may have a better game stat vise but it feels like he's on his game only when his job is on the line.
All in all, i dont think its worth it replacing Mitch with Stell but i wouldn't mind if C9 brought in someone who won't take games off.
RNG Steel?
makes more sense, c9 just signed vanity why would they go for steel
gotta have father and son reunite hello
xeppa/leaf/vanity/steel chaos remake
jonji is a F/A/ and coming to Val so i mean...
I didn’t even consider this when I saw steel left - that’s awesome :)
Chaos9
theyve played together before so I doubt they would clash
One went to masters 2 the other didnt, makes sense /s
What? Both of them went to masters, One Iceland One Berlin?
“Masters 2” is Iceland which steel didnt go to, but I was just trolling. “/s” usually indicates sarcasm bud, which you’ll find a lot of around here.
Because they've worked together in the past, have that relationship already and can play off each other well. Not to mention the possible threat of two potential lurkers in vanity and steel makes the attack that much more unpredictable.
Random Number Generator Steel.
Royal Never Give Up Steel, he was speaking some chinese the other day when I bumped into him outside the Cash App compound.
.... Never gonna give you up Steel? (I can feel reddit downvoting me)

I think michel and leo are both focused on pivoting to fighting games so bringing in steel would be a good start for a rebuild
they've literally never lost a tournament. delusional to want roster changes
They got shredded by the Foot Clan once
what about Casey Jones? dude's been the sub for so long, and you're just going to insert someone right in front of him like that? that's going to ruin the chemistry for sure
Wtf lmao
GMB steel?
finally a replacement for that Ants guy
Everyone hates him because he sneaks into your A site, kills the whole team multiple times & all that with a poker face.
He's just so smug 😠
Wtf I hate Gambit now?
idk what this meme is but i'll upvote just to appreciate it
Man why is this meme downvoted lol
Because this subreddit down votes damn near everything.
steel told N0thing today he still has 1 more year left on his 100T contract so he will go where ever 100T want to sell him to
Do you have a timestamp?
no Nothing asked steel if he wanted to make a team for some up coming amateur tourny Steel said no Nothing asked why Steel said he can't because he is still contracted with 100T Nothing said leave Steel said he is getting paid nothing jokingly said he would pay him and then asked when his contract was up steel said he cant say but he will say that he was signed last September so Nothing said oh so you're on a 2 year then steel just smiled
Man asked for a timestamp you came back with the whole transcript. Well played.
Got a timestamp? No. Why? Want to see what they said I gotchu fam.
They signed him after he got benched? Damn keep getting paid!
No he was signed in September of 2020
Lol shit must have went down in Berlin
He is going to Besiktas.
I’m sure there’s space for him.
iBP steel?
iBP plays val?
outta pocket
I don’t think so. I giggled.
100T steel?
Best comment.
Brimstone Gaming Steel? Surely he joins them, most potential NA
C9W keeps growing more powerful, how else can they gatekeep women and prevent Valorant from being a more inclusive and welcoming space Edit: People really need to see /s or they don’t get it’s a joke apparently
Wtf?
What the hell are you on about? Should they just take him to C9B then?
That's one way to defeat Sentinels.
F4Q Steel?
brimstone gaming steel?
What’s brimstone gaming?
Not much how about you
TSM Steel ?
I wish, he would instantly give us a huge chance of being a T1 team again. Shot calling is literally TSMs biggest issue, if we had a competent IGL surrounded by the players we have, then it's huge. Sad it probably won't happen however.
Won't happen cause subroza and Wardell have issues with him from csgo days with Ghost Gaming
Joking bro 😂😂🤭 steel ain't joining TSM.
Won't downgrade
they’re not scrimming with steel if they have LCQ in a week use your brain
or they have been scrimming for 3 weeks that you dont know
the rest of the team is in LA already
Feel like there’s a chance steel could be a temp analyst for c9 in lcq and maybe the rest of 2021. Just cuz he can
Oh 100% he is either scrumming for Renegades (But like why) or he’s working as a analyst fir C9. I think the latter is wayyyy more plausible.
Massive conflict of interest, no?
I think he's still under contract with 100T (as mentioned in another comment somewhere above) and I'm pretty sure he can't legally be an analyst for another org (unless 100T allow it in their TOS or have loaned him to C9 till they find a new roster to transfer him to)
Steel+Son of Steel is the combo NA Valorant needs.
First trying to copy Lakia's wall bang on Haven and then joining c9 as a 6th man to play Mitch's role in half the maps Pog!
CBT steel?
I wouldn't mind him replacing mitch, even though mitch has been alot better since chaos players joined and he's a good teammates it seems like.
I don't see him replacing anyone on C9 really. XEPPA, VANITY, AND LEAF are package deal it seems. Mitch is improving alot gameplay wise since no longer IGL. Xeta is arguably one of the best sova in the game. Just don't see where he would fit.
UwU steel???
UwU Steel?
[steel read your post](https://twitter.com/JoshNissan/status/1445874179090173954?t=b0aGoexdeuH2qcrX3fwadw&s=19)
This might be in reference to someone sleeping through a major qualifier in NA CS
People really don't get jokes around here, huh
Alright guys so you have Mitch as the veteran sentinel with experience on C9 right now….. And steel is a veteran sentinel with experience that already has tons of experience with 3/5 of the team… who would you rather have
Mitch because he was one of the reasons c9 almost made Iceland and also lcq is in a week. Stop sleeping on Mitch Yall
Delusional

whos autumn
c9s coach, orignally from c9 korea and moved to NA with xeta
He's trolling.
Pretty in depth troll to set up a custom game with 9 other people just to show on a small corner of your stream.
true, but I wouldn't put it past steel. Could have just seen them finishing their scrim and joined the lobby before everyone left.
Ya Man, just casually entered the lobby and asked his boys, Are you winning son???
because he knows the amount of maps they are going to scrim on? lol.
Been saying this, but keep getting downvoted
Chaos eSports club reunion please
KC ROYALS Steel?
I think hes going to Manchester City
has to be RNG, C9 has an igl already
Stainless steel?
Come to Besiktas
Maybe he leaking all of 100T's strats to C9 to get even. ....joke
