      Honestly if piglet dropped his ego and had a real coach then he woulda easily been an actual top 5 adc in pro play.
      He had potential to be amazing even after he left SKT but he just thought he was better than everyone and wouldn't listen to anyone.

    Season 5 was the year I started really playing and getting into league, and C9 was the first team that caught my eye due to their hype in 2014, and me rewatching their worlds performance on that year. Then that dreaded summer pslit happened, and that miracle run started. Honestly that is still to this day my most enjoyable time watching pro league, I really hope a time where you really felt like a competing team was YOUR team and that you always backed them up comes back again someday, but we can look back at these moments and cherish them for what the league was and why we fell in love with it

    Love the props for HAI! People forget that HAI was both a great Zed and a great Gragas when Grags Mid was a meta pick (not only for Scarra). hai not only beat Bjergsen while playing Teemo, but got a Penta on Orianna against TSM near the end of his career while playing for Golden Guardians. They then stupidly replaced him for Korean Mid Mickey the next split, and that worked out so well that Mickey just packed up and flew back to Korea in the middle of the split and never came back.

    It was more fun. The level may have been way lower, but being able to follow personalities like you, scarra, xpeke, dyrus, qt, the entire M5 roster etc. made the scene way more entertaining. There's not that many established personalities to follow anymore, and many of the people i grew cheering for especially in korea are long since retired. At this point i watch the shoulder content more than i do the actual matches.

  • @wanderintaco

    I ain't gonna lie after the C9 benching the whole roster n kicking Sneaky n shit I'm not ultimately surprised to hear that C9 booted Hai and it wasn't a retirement, probably the same with Meteos choosing to step down too, kinda rough.

    • @glcsander
      @glcsander Місяць тому

      @wanderintaco The fact that he had to play like he wanted to retire too, in the end it was all lack of cohesion for the players, Meteos was a farm heavy jungler that would take the role of the 3rd carry so having Hai roam alot and feeding his resources into him made sense, but as soon as the meta shifted they could have easily find even champs for him to play and still be the leader, if Crown can win worlds playing Malzahar you can't tell me Hai couldn't play things like karma or Morgana mid and go even in lane.

    What world were we living in where Gravity was 9-3 and C9 was 3-9 and Meteos-less. It was a sad day when Meteos stepped down only mollified by Hai returning (albeit as a Jungler). But that Gauntlet run was absolute fire (and not just the heartburn it caused from all the close calls). I remember going into Worlds, EU slimebag TomatoCannon said that C9 was a terrible team that wouldn't win a single game. And I think it was Jatt who pointed out that Balls was stuck in Diamond 2 in Korean SQ. Then right away C9 go out and beat Europe's undefeated champion Fnatic and Balls gets a PentaKill on Darius! NA's 7th place Gauntlet team beat a team than ran through all of EU undefeated. LOL

  • @Hot_Soupp

    I think it'd be really cool for Dom to do some kind of video essay like this himself, both since he has the perspective of a pro player, and also because he himself experienced a large portion of LCS history firsthand.
    As a sliiiight nitpick pertaining to this video, though, it kinda bothers me a tad when he goes off about fact checking. I AGREE that these types of videos should be fact checked rigorously. But at the same time, if something small is missed (like how long it had been since TL played a match, towards the end of the video) I really don't think it's that huge of a deal. It's not even THAT important in telling the story of this C9 run. Mistakes happen for everyone. Things slip through the cracks sometimes. Idk, I also give Dom the same benefit of the doubt when he mispeaks or whatever. It just happens.

  • @Prince_mt12
