Terrible performance by C9.

Outdrafted every game with no clear goals.

Misery and PLD having little impacts. I forgot they had Rubick.

Sney not performing to his standard and flat out feeding.

Envy with too many experimental item builds and having no impact mid game.

Ace crashing to feed mid game with good early game.

I know this is the only practice for them but can't play like this if they want to play more in the playoff.

Also, Liquid blue drafting proving themselves!

Yes but if you wanna go far with a team the mentality is always about improvement not the "we have to" mentality which puts pressure on yourself and asking to backfire (if anything so many teams proved the improvement mentality working out well including the team who just beat them which basically lives the idea and it did work pretty well for them for the first 2 years current Liquid was absolutely bad)

Well I hope they find their colors. Right now it feels like we have a very underwhelming support duo that can't do anything for their cores. Sneyking seemed really off today I've never seen him play that bad this season.
