A Serious Conversation About C9

It seems to me by just the staggering amount of idiotic moves that C9 has done both as an organization and as a business, Riot should very much reconsider their spot in franchising. Whatever your opinions on actually letting Rossy go, or letting Moose go or the yay situation, they have multiple times treated players terribly and with inconsistent communication.

They are completely mediocre in a way that is unforgiveable. It is time to stop treating them as memes but as an actual issue for the sport as a whole. We have HUGE amounts of native NA talent that is being wasted within T2, and even NA talent that is being wasted on a piss poor organization like C9, mitch, Oxy, and the rest of the boys should protest. There is no way that they can even hope to compete when their roster is constantly flip flopping. Contract-wise, huge five year contracts are practically immoral for esports, there is not a single organization barring MAYBE Sentinels that should be offering those deals.

But part of the reason that we’ve let them get away with this is because Riot for some reason shows a blind eye to their shenanigans, idk who they paid but the fact that this mediocre team made franchising over The Guard is ludicrous. It is clear to me that until we as watchers of the sport protest the organizations treatment of players, fans, and the rest of the organizations in franchising nothing will change. Their practices are bad for esports as a whole and should be called out.
