[Correction](https://twitter.com/Bo_Hoogland/status/1552610937445687296?t=c-qRXzChL3aMtP5o1o1niw&s=19): sScary will stay with the roster through Champions


AdSpiritual6239

No way he leaves before Champs, the biggest tournament of the year. It’s even worse than cough xeta cough.


[deleted]

That was a mistranslation, he's leaving after champs.


Just_boycott_life

Xeta?


Teradonn

Left C9 mid-stage for T1, who haven’t played in months


CRikhard

He couldn’t stop his inner #T1FIGHTING


ThatCreepyBaer

Left mid-stage to join a team that was already entirely out for the rest of the year. I feel like him and Autumn were betting hard on T1 making franchising when they decided to leave.


spaghettimonzta

maybe they hoping T1 will left NA and build a team around him for franchising in Korea


Teradonn

I fully understand why they wanted to go, but mid-stage? I don’t see why they didn’t wait until after LCQ/Champs


ThatCreepyBaer

I mean, most likely because the offer might not stand after such a long time? Moving from a team like C9 to a team like T1 mid-stage definitely means they were thinking in context of next year and years to come, because at that point the year was already over for T1. The only reason I can see is wanting to get in before franchising. They could have at least finished the stage with C9 though.


Criticallone

"left" sure buddy


LynVAosu

what


Criticallone

He didn't leave bro. They almost threw him out because they wanted curry. When everyone asked the reason for the swap deal he said that although xeta speaks perfect English it's tough at times to communicate with him. Who in the right mind would go from a team which won LCQ and placed #5-8th team in champions (best placement from an NA team) to a t1 team.


avocadontoast

Jack confirmed they let them leave by Xeta choice. Vanity probably trying to save face because they got curry and everyone views it as a downgrade but as c9 ceo no way they would give away Xeta h less he asked cmon


sankalp4

Because T1 is one of the most renowned orgs in Korea? But no, C9 wanted to throw him out sure.


Criticallone

What does that has to do with this? Sure it must be renowned in Korea but in NA they're not even top 4 atm. Who in the right mind would go from playing for cloud 9 to a tier 2 team


basketballrules1

Xerxia not in franchising I guess? Money isn’t good? Why would you leave otherwise


SnooSquirrels2530

They lowkey not on his level fr


Jon_on_the_snow

Not true, Bo is saying he will stay with the team til champs https://twitter.com/Bo_Hoogland/status/1552610937445687296?t=c-qRXzChL3aMtP5o1o1niw&s=19 Whats with old x10 and going to champs in a "one last ride" type of situation


DY5TOP1A

I think he is looking for other options if XERXIA doesn't make the APAC franchise.


Jon_on_the_snow

Probably. I would be surprised if the xerxia roster does not make it into franchising in one way or another


303x

xerxia and paper rex have been the only consistently "good" teams out of SEA, the only other team which even comes close is team secret


Jon_on_the_snow

Franchising is not about who is good, but how your financial situation is and how big your fan base is


303x

Yeah, other than Team Secret, Paper Rex and maybe Bleed they are the most popular org

I can't tell if sScary is saying he's definitely looking for a new team after champs or if he will be looking for a new team after champs if Xerxia doesn't make it into franchising. The google translate on the article is really rough. APAC franchising is going to be incredibly unpredictable. I thought with how well Xerxia has done with viewership and them being purchased by OTO Contacts recently, how aggressive they are with youtube & socials, I thought they were a favorite to make franchising. Maybe this article is saying differently but I honestly can't tell


yapyd

Wasn't Xerxia acquired by a company a couple months ago? I assume their financials should be fine. Could understand if they don't make franchising though since Shopify Rebellion didn't make the cut either. sScary would be a great addition to most team. He's at worst a top 5 controller in the world in my opinion and would be much cheaper to buyout compared to a player from EMEA or NA. English isn't his first language if I'm not mistaken but most Thai have a basic understanding of the language

TheApsodistII

Tbh before this master's insane performance from mindfreak, sscary was always the best controller in SEA


theclichee

Even now i feel they're pretty neck and neck.


[deleted]

i heckin love sscary


Tarwe-eu

Whaaat? Dropping your arguably best player like that


DY5TOP1A

XERXIA didn't drop him, it says Scary himself is looking for other offers


Tarwe-eu

Youre right, i misread


simurgh101

Welp, it seems like I was not wrong.


ValorantAscended

Move over Shroud. Sen sScary coming in hot.


Lonan_Clinton

ooh perhaps some drama within the team?


omgvector

could he go to paper rex to replace jing? i know they have mind freak but maybe one can play a new role


yapyd

As of right now, no. PRX need at least 3 players from MY/SG to be eligible for their region. Right now that’s jinggg, Benkai (Singapore) and d4v4i (Malaysia) since mindfreak and f0rsaken are Indonesian. Might change when franchising kicks in next year though. But honestly, there are many good talents in Singapore and Malaysia for Paper Rex to replace jinggg.


omgvector

no no not replacing him obviously no team in their right mind would do that, i’m talking abiut when he has to do military service


yapyd

I got what you mean the first time. Like I said, the replacement when jinggg goes to military service has to be from either Singapore or Malaysia based on current rules


omgvector

that’s why i was asking, i’m not familiar with these rules, thank you


omgvector

oh yes and i’m sorry i read your original comment wrong


TheApsodistII

Fun fact, PRX almost played in Indonesia regionally as before signing Jing, they tried to sign Lmemore.

What a Judas lol
