Why does NiP denying it matter? Esport organizations lie (or twist the truth) all the time.
Exactly. Remember Allu who wouldn't join NiP. :"D
or Get Right joining Cloud9. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

eat it
LG is actually pretty close to C9's skill, people just dont realize it yet
its their only "good" map
LG is better than C9 dont even insult them like that. I give them a lot of shit because they lose to garbage teams like Conquest in the NA scene, but they've made like what, 4 majors?
people need to remember we're in October, almost November. It's not June anymore
lg when they started out went to majors out of south american qualifiers which doesnt really count if you ask me, thats like saying immunity is a good team because they made it to one major through the au qualifiers. lg is a trash team and c9 should be better than them

LG isn't a trash team lol
except unlike immunity or renegades, LG qualifies by actually winning at majors.
they aren't getting free passes like C9 or australian teams

Yes they are.
i dont think someone that thought C9 would make it out of groups has any right to say if a team is trash or not.
They haven't made it out of groups at a major since Cologne 2014.
they get a free pass but scraping by mediocre groups and never actually making it anywhere. theyre also waaaay worse than they were before.
they were really good from their first pro league season to last season but this season is the worst theyve ever been
C9 failed to make it out of a group with mousesports/immunity or make it passed Kinguin and back at like dreamhack 2014 couldn't even make it out of a group with hellraisers and gamegod wolf
on the other hand, LG beat Kinguin at Cologne and at Katowice made it out of groups with Hellraisers in their group. but those teams are op ;_;
C9 is pure fucking shit and have had 3 good months since Hiko left. I don't see how anyone can seriously say a team as garbage as this is better than a team that constantly qualifies for majors by actually winning at majors and not playing garbage teams like Dignitas and Renegades at qualifiers.
oh man they beat Roccat!!
im not saying c9 isnt trash, they were trash before hiko left too. its just disappointing because they had a short stint of not being trash.
lg on the other hand has a ton of hype for getting trashed in quarters repeatedly and simply just doesnt play that well

C9 beat the hell out of LG in the last two matches they played. Online results aren't everything, but they do have to be taken into account.
word is bond
phew titan may have salvaged my pickem for day 1
nah, online is online
no they dont
you win at LAN, that's all that matters when it comes to competitive games.
your argument makes no sense.
For some reason LG losing to top tier teams in playoffs is somehow worse than failing to make it out of groups vs tier 2 teams. In what world does losing to fnatic and VP somehow make you worse than a team that can't even make it out of groups. Especially when that team couldn't make it out of groups by losing to a team on their own best map meanwhile you destroyed that team like 16-4 or some shit

LG doesn't win at lan though.
oh boy more cbble
seriously. how random are these votes, Valve? at least its not the nightmare it was a few majors ago

hahaha, getting your ass kicked 2-0 in the quarterfinals doesn't seem like a win to me.
yet not even making quarterfinals does
cuz you know, losing to Fnatic and VP is embarassing. At least Cloud9 loses to high quality teams like Immunity
then how did they get to quarterfinals?

C9 is terrible right now, that we can agree on. I just thought based on recent results against LG, that they could beat them. That's all.
I was wrong.
you can say online is online but that doesnt excuse losing to shit teams repeatedly
i never said it was worse, just that theyre still just as trash as c9, just with worse online results
I'm back and missed most of the matches already
you didn't miss much aside from Top 5 team C9 losing to Tier 6 team Luminosity on Cloud9s best map.
and Liquid for a brief moment gave NA fans hope, but Hiko's hat got in the way of his vision and he choked an easy gw kill. Liquid could never recover

Only been one decent game tbh.
Titan v NiP had a close scoreline but Titan's T-side was fucking weird as hell rather than NiP's quality being the major factor in closing the gap.
I need to watch the C9 match then, I love a good a C9 choke
I was interested in seeing Liquid perform with Hiko so I'll take a look at that as well then
Yeah apparently I actually thoguht NiP would win over Titan, I must have been high, RIP Pickem
I still wonder what the hell happened to them
From top NA to bottom
But how else are you supposed to spam your dank memes? D:
i thought that was get_right
