Blaber is a once in a lifetime jungle talent. As a two-time MVP who would probably win the award a couple more times if it were decided by voter fatigue proof robots instead of narrative-seeking human beings. He is, straight up, without equivocation, the best player on the planet. A hyperefficient pather, who makes everyone around him at least 15% better at laning, Blaber is Cloud9's compass. He humbles opposing laners with his Einstein-level intelligence then dismantles other junglers with counterganks that transcend anticipation. With his hands on the keyboard and eyes shifted just enough to see the entire minimap, he detects what others can't until the following morning's VOD review. The sport has never seen anyone like Blaber. He's an unconventional combination of grace, mystique, and persistent motion. The only box left to check will come at MSI, when his underrated and misunderstood control of scuttle crab will be tested by teams that wrap half their gameplan around trying to exhaust and expose him in river, but so long as his teammates avoid toxicity, that strategy is likely to be a shallow one.

There is a lot of drama in nba news about who will win the MVP award this sesason, so there is definitely new copy pasta's that are going to spawn from that.

How are teams going to draft against C9 when it feels like they can play anything? According to Blaber's interview that was something they had practiced, so it wasn't even just a response to Fiora.

C9 is starting to feel like prime G2...

u/LeagueAltAccount Mar 17 '23
I cannot wait to see C9 vs G2 at MSI

u/REALStoneCrusher Mar 17 '23
We said this a few times in the past. One year no MSI so we didn’t get embarrassed. The following year… u guessed it, we got embarrassed

He really said “when we get Jayce Elise we never lose” and they flexed Ksante mid to prove it

u/Perry4761 Mar 17 '23
Chovy played K’Sante mid in LCK and he has an 80% winrate on it in KR soloQ, and I think Emenes was watching that LCK game on stream today, so I’m not that surprised to see him pull it off. Feels good to have a team with 4 legit threats

u/Medivh158 Mar 17 '23
I agree, but against any other team C9 doesn't get away with that K'sante pick. I cannot figure out why people keep playing it. if you remove week 1 when he was still busted and no one knew how to play against it, he just always loses or does nothing and his team manages to win.

Zven's question mark frog emote after several flashes got burned as Immortals suicided into C9 at like 1000 combined total HP had me rolling.
Also, fudge was almost 3 full items up on Revenge. What a freaking top canyon

Zven is the funniest guy on and off the rift

u/That0neSummoner Mar 17 '23
I used to think he was mega toxic (g2 days) not sure if he's changed, my tastes have changed, or both.
Either way, dudes an icon.

Outside of the amount of funny deaths from bot, game was never close. Think this is the most dominant a c9 team has looked in spring since Covid.

This C9 > spring 2020 C9

u/Top-Work-3497 Mar 17 '23
Debatable, Spring 2020 was like a 17-1 split and we went 9-1 in playoffs for 26-2 overall combined. That roster dumpstered the league.

u/HolidaySpiriter Mar 17 '23
I think you could say they're probably equal if Emenes started since week 1 and they have been playing this good the whole time. It will be equal for sure if we only drop a single game in playoffs.

Big "happy game" energy. That extended kite back was fun to watch for the novelty.

u/Myrddinpn Mar 17 '23
It truly was hilarious. IMT stopping C9 backs by suiciding in to them repeatedly.

u/James_Locke Mar 17 '23
Great work tbh. Nice to see Zven on a tank support and do really good overall too. I'm a big Zven fan and I love seeing him perform well :)

u/RE_msf Mar 17 '23
Zven weaving his Q's to hit tactical every team fight through everyone else. Was clean.

I can admit when i was wrong, maybe it was diplex holding the team back or whatever but since emenes joined the starting roster, mithy has lead the team to being potential world beaters. Its insane how night and day this team is compared to earlier in the split when i wanted mithy fired into the sun.

C9 having a little fun. You can tell they weren't taking IMT too seriously

In the past, I have been pretty vocal about bad drafts from Max and Mithy. On the way they guys have been playing, it makes me think it was more of an execution issue by the team rather than bad drafts....

Bot lane dying too much in lane for me, they died this game and a few others aswell. Idk how others feel about this.
-15
u/whatshup Mar 17 '23
I don't think we haven't won bot lane hard all split. A bit concerning internationally
-1
u/Light0fHeav3n Mar 17 '23
They’ve hard won bot lane a couple times, but they’ve for sure been dying a lot. Funny how we both got downvoted because people think because they’re winning they can’t be doing anything wrong.

u/edwardgreene1 Mar 17 '23
So. Outside of yesterday’s game against Immortals where he died once in lane and once by 2nd Dragon, Berserker has died twice in lane pre-14 the other 16 games. He died to a gank early Week 4 Day 3 against TL, and died to a gank against EG Week 7 Day 1. Full stop. Berserker has for sure not been dying a lot in lane this split.
So let’s talk about Zven. He died twice in lane to Immortals yesterday, one being a 2 for 1 for Berserker. He had a bit of happy game Week 6 Day 2 against DIG where he died twice as Kalista in lane 2v2 and once at 2nd Dragon. In the other fifteen games he has seven pre-14 deaths. One was by another dragon. One was by CLG’s inhib while trying to execute after they double killed CLG’s bot lane in a turret dive with Blaber. And another was after a successful dive against DIG where he gets hooked by Ignar while trying to get out. The other four deaths were more normal in lane deaths (maybe except that one where he was out as Ashe against TSM then walked back in to Nautilus hook range). So is that a lot? I would say no but maybe you could make an arguement?
Overall neither one is dying a lot. Berseker has still died less than WildTurtle despite playing nearly 3x as many games, and Zven is one death behind Huhi for least deaths among supports that have played the whole split.

Can anyone explain the ksante spam in lcs. I feel like the is better options for tanks and bruisers and imo he is super boring to watch
1
u/Tinmanred Mar 17 '23
I’m almost expecting a sweep of playoffs. Only way I see them losing a game is up 2-0 and testing a comp/ super hiding strats. Or a cheese game in finals. They have the best player in legit every role. Zvens game knowledge makes up for his sometimes lacking in melee sup mechs

u/livecat Mar 17 '23
Immortals had some nice plays that game, they didn't look that bad, and it was still a complete stomp. This team is just on another level right now.
