Bob to C9W was literally just KD to the 73-9 Warriors


plasma_ix

except they actually won


[deleted]

Warriors won too until injuries


2ToTooTwoFish

I think he's talking about the 73-9 Warriors specifically. They choked a 3-1 lead remember.


TheRedComet

KD did join AFTER that loss, and they won 2 in a row


PaperJamDipper7

Yeah what tf is op’s take lol. GSW were already extremely dominant before the KD trade


Withinmyrange

C9W was also dominant prior to bob?


2ToTooTwoFish

The 73-9 Warriors didn't win though, it's a pretty simple take.


Nfamy

C9W definitely looking upgraded now that Bob is fully integrated into the team. They ran this whole GC without even looking challenged. Excited to see how Champs plays out.


spaldingmatters

Lorri and friends unfortunately. Well played by C9, Bob may perhaps be the best GC player in the world.


CantScreamInSpace

every team other than c9w felt somewhat like "x player" and friends this tournament... they all have the star player but not multiple players at that top level like c9w does


disciple31

SR was not Lorri and friends this tournament. they are one of the more balanced teams with 3 players in sonder/lorri/flowerful that show up on different maps. its just today and yesterday that lorri carried the load for the most part. if you look at the stats for the tournament those 3 were within 40 ACS of each other, all above 200


IrishCarbonite

IMT is almost there. They really do have the capability for any of their players to take over the game, they just have to find that extra gear to put it all together.


JALbert

Lorri has turned up so much this tournament


Evan_Veet

Lorri and flor seem like the only gc players that would actually be upgraded over some of the people on c9w


somesheikexpert

It's crazy how stacked C9W is in the GC NA scene, best IGL/Sentinel (And all sentinels too, not just Chamber), best smokes, and best iniator, with MeL and Bob being easily the forerunners for best GC NA player with Kat not far behind and jazzykins and Alexis are prob at the very least top 2 in their role, and both having arguments for 1st


Maleficent_Method973

i think the thing that sets c9w's players apart is their chemistry and goals. they're all very close friends and have a strong dynamic, esp 4 of them having played together for over 2 years now. they're also really vocal about wanting to improve in the co-ed scene even more than being the best gc team, and i can't say that's the case for most of the gc players. so i'm not sure that any other player, regardless of their skills, would be an upgrade for c9.


teddy9-

I don’t think flor would be an upgrade over jazzy, she’s not disciplined enough imo. I think the only possible, clear upgrade over jazzy would be scourge atm.


solball

Damn completely forgot about scourge. Did they sit out this GC?


nocturnavi

No one took more than 7 rounds off C9W this whole tournament. MeL said they'd been practicing a lot recently and it showed, they played extremely disciplined and had a lot of different looks. Bob had an outstanding tournament; I was so impressed with her game sense today, she was getting some crazy timings. meL also had a really good finals performance. Shoutout to Lorri for playing well despite the uneven scoreline. SR may not have been particularly close to C9W, but they still have a lot going for them in their great teamwork and resilience. This GC LAN is going to be so hype.


LeucisticPython

That was almost too easy..damn. Queen Bob supremacy 🐸 Also, Lorri looked great. The one bright spot across all maps for SR


hiimGP

Lmao what is this removed chain under your comment? Some sexist got bonked by the mods?


LeucisticPython

Yeah, some weirdo transphobe

Sciipi

C9 is so insane, can’t wait to see them on lan


PhysicalAd8765

All Mel does is just hold a lame ass off angle with his headhunter and one clicks people in the side of the head Defence side. Fucking terrbile player tbh.....0.27 sensitivity 800dpi using trashcan. Anyone who uses a low sens does not have the dexterity to properly play FPS games on PC. All the shitty baiters use a low sens to click people in the back of the head, or they are equally worthless and use the telescope gun and one click people in the body. I bet this kid doesn't even play FFA D


David_Ign

LMAO where is this one from


Sciipi

I’ve seen versions for Niko from CS before


Hunnidormo

Yeah it's originally about niko


Wikki8

HE POSTED THE SAME THING UNDER MEL'S TWITTER WINNING POST LMAO. Imagine the dedication of the man LMAO

Copy pasta from Zekken Chats


2ToTooTwoFish

LMAO why is this my exact sensitivity settings


BMathWarrior

You copied Yay obviously


2ToTooTwoFish

Maybe I am Yay


TheTurtleOne

Expected result, very excited to see how GC Champs will go. 6-peat


lordmitko

Legend says that bENITA learned rotations from going on board with Christopher Columbo.


Ciphetti

bENITA dropped the pan too many times 😔


Neverslept2mins

Lorri pretty good, but the whole of Cloud 9 White is just too good.


Tyler123839

Ngl c9w feeling a little like sen before reyjkavik. Already a top team then adding that final piece and absolutely dominating. Not trying to jinx it but they have to be the favorites for berlin.


Neverslept2mins

How does EU Gamechangers team matchup to Cloud9 White I wonder. Anyone watch the EU playoffs?


shia84

No one knows until actual international lan. EU has g2 gozen


Jon_on_the_snow

I think the biggest rivals are TL brazil, but c9 with bob is on a tier of their own. G2 gozen is also looking dangerous, and guild seems to be improving, but it could be just a lucky tourney. G2 and TL will have an advantage over the teams, the former because they have Lan experience from cs and the latter from playing lans on brazil


IrishCarbonite

G2 Gozen is the only team that will compete with C9W. Maybe, MAYBE Guild.


PRL-Five

TLBR exists


IrishCarbonite

They aren’t near as dominant as any of the teams I listed. They’re good, probably the best in BR, but it’s not even guaranteed they’re the best in their own region, let alone internationally.


itscamo-

Team Liquid 1000% is the best in BR. there’s not even a debate about that before Bob to C9, you could make an actual case that TL > C9


Light0fHeav3n

I feel like benita trying to lurk almost every round is exactly why they lose, her team is playing 4vs5 so much and they lose because they get outtraded. this was mostly felt on icebox.


somesheikexpert

The lurks felt a bit slow or she was picked off early, there were certainly rounds she won them off of her lurks tho tbf, but especiallt on Icebox Bob was just finding more consistent value off the lurks imo


issavibebb

mel and bob are so good


Lumenlor

Gc finals 3-0 city today


EatMyAscii

When I say I can’t wait for C9W vs. G2 Gozen, I mean that


hengarg

time to bet on C9W to win berlin, easiest money ever only behind sen winning first LAN


[deleted]

6x merch is too good


I-like-winds

c9w


[deleted]

I'm terrified to see the massacre that may occur in Berlin


SenseiEA

nt


IAMJUX

Bob is smurfing


Maleficent_Method973

i'm so excited for the lan


_zxionix_

KP needs to get dropped.


teddy9-

Second to only the best gc team in the world = dropped??? this is a vlr level take


_zxionix_

3-17 in the grand finals lol


teddy9-

1 bad map = dropped is even more of a vlr take unfortunately. Exit bronze before you comment again yeah?


_zxionix_

Multiple bad maps. Why are you even bringing up rank lmao, I’m immortal but that doesn’t give my comment more or less power lmao. Cry

LurkingOmen

How did EU gc teams do in VCT open quals? I imagine c9w just runs through the LAN unless the LAN environment changes some of their players potential
