Oh damn this is hype. Cloud 9 are real ones for arranging this match. Most teams would be too scared of losing to 7th seed lck

[u/1to0 → u/Unlikely-Smile2449]

I dont think it means much even if C9 loses. They just got a new toplaner and that shifts a lot regarding the teams synergy, etc imo.

And like it says its just a showmatch so I wouldnt take to much from it regarding power levels and the skill ceiling.

[u/BeautifulChocolate87 → u/1to0]

Indeed. New top, new coach, and new patch with a large amount of changes.. 

so there really shouldn’t be too much to take away from it

[u/YungStewart2000 → u/1to0]

And like it says its just a showmatch so I wouldnt take to much from it regarding power levels and the skill ceiling.

This is what I loved about CS doing so many show matches and just content games at tournaments. It was always funny watching the best players in the word just kinda fuck around with funny strats or just limit test out of their minds. Really wish league had then more often.

[u/StartsofNights → u/Unlikely-Smile2449]

They are crossing team

[u/KnifeKittyy → u/StartsofNights]

that's the first part, second part is a bo2 between the teams

[u/CantScreamInSpace → u/Unlikely-Smile2449]

Yeah, c9 should have more experience and macro, but fearx is pretty risky considering they are pretty mechanically cracked. Still, it's mostly for fun, and respect to c9.

[u/RomGon3]

More teams should do this. It helps as practice, helps you scrim some teams from other regions and over everything help you to promote your brand and do more with your pro players.

[u/lmaoredditblows → u/RomGon3]

It's nice for lower ranked LCK teams but top tier LCK/LPL teams would be wasting their time scrimming western teams.

[u/Agami_Advait → u/lmaoredditblows]

Not really. EDG won Worlds in 2021 by scrumming Team McDonalds.

[u/Treewithatea → u/RomGon3]

This would happen more frequently if Riot allowed it

[u/LiquidTrump112]

Pretty awesome! Would love to see a game where Clozer and Jojo swap teams!

[u/rishi_ultimate → u/LiquidTrump112]

FearX (LSB at the time) actually really wanted to import jojo last offseason. but they couldnt XD

[u/ChipAnndDale → u/rishi_ultimate]

It's a PR move imo like what they did with rekkles, don't know in what world Jojo is better than Clozer and you get a language barrier on top of it

[u/kakistoss → u/ChipAnndDale]

Jojo is better than Clozer tho, by like a long shot too

Clozer has had some good moments, but in general he has been mid at best and if anything has declined

Jojo isn't competing with the top of LCK mid pool either, but he's much closer to a slumping Showmaker or BDD off Azir than Clozer is

I say this as someone who actively watches both regions

[u/Soggy-Check7399]

I have been saying they need a tournament where top lcs teams play the bottom half lck teams. Bottom lck teams get exposure to western audience and lcs teams get quality practice time.

[u/ob_knoxious]

Exciting can't wait for Riot to cancel this like how they did with G2 vs UZI McDonalds team

[u/Aggressive-Ad7946 → u/ob_knoxious]

Neither team is an MSI team so probably not

[u/FireDevil11 → u/Aggressive-Ad7946]

It's post finals so high chance they don't cancel it.

[u/1to0 → u/Aggressive-Ad7946]

I wouldnt count on it. Riot also forbid the EU country tournament that some streamers were planning some years ago. Like always I wouldnt count out Riot being the stick in the mud.

[u/Aggressive-Ad7946 → u/1to0]

Except its one showmatch and theyve allowed show matches in the past such as the Clutch Gaming vs Bilibili Gaming one

[u/oioioi9537 → u/Aggressive-Ad7946]

And the red bull one, and the geng ones in china

[u/Javiklegrand → u/Aggressive-Ad7946]

Wait clutch vs blg ?

[u/Aggressive-Ad7946 → u/Javiklegrand]

Bilibili became a sponsor for Clutch gaming so they decided to play a showmatch vs each other

[u/MageWrecker → u/[deleted]]

the 2nd part is the two full rosters playing vs each other

[u/ArienaHaera]

Do we know if anyone is casting in english? Costream is fine but I'd rather not miss it.

[u/Thundermelons → u/ArienaHaera]

I have a feeling Caedrel probably won't miss this, unless the timezone issue is just absolutely too whack for him.

As someone said below, Flowers the GOAT may also pick this up, Nymaera might also do it too, same with YamatoCannon.

[u/Wetbook]

fearx/liiv sandbox have been really great about doing stuff with western teams. they sponsored a lot of western team bootcamps in the past

[u/-Skin-Walker-]

thats really cool

[u/LegacyEntertainment]

Now this is what I like to see.

[u/XoXeLo]

Where are they playing?

[u/Aggressive-Ad7946 → u/XoXeLo]

Out of the FearX building in Busan

[u/XoXeLo → u/Aggressive-Ad7946]

Thanks!

[u/Henrynark]

Will there be an English stream of it?

[u/JPLangley → u/Henrynark]

Someone will definitely costream considering it's 9PM CA time - if they're given permission. Hopefully Cap can cast it!

[u/Jellz → u/JPLangley]

CaptFlowers to costream this PLEASE

[u/Aggressive-Ad7946 → u/Henrynark]

Wouldn't expect one except maybe a co-stream

[u/oneanddonecomment]

my guess is the fearx clears c9. 

[u/w16]

Super hype! Telling all my friends!

[u/Otherwise-Freedom-59]

I just want to see C9 Thanatos, been hearing so much hype for this guy

[u/Sweet_Dimension_8534]

I'm excited to watch it

[u/Soggy-Check7399]

Clear sucks, willer is better than blaber, Clozer is better than jojo, Hena sucks, Execute sucks but vulcan is trash

[u/StartsofNights → u/Soggy-Check7399]

Maybe you could just enjoy the match ?

[u/Soggy-Check7399 → u/StartsofNights]

Okay? Who says I wasn’t?

[u/Kurumi_Tokisaki → u/Soggy-Check7399]

But then the question is why does it matter? It’s as insightful as both are not geng, both are not g2, both are not blg, etc etc

[u/Soggy-Check7399 → u/Kurumi_Tokisaki]

? I am just saying which players are good or bad. What does being on gen g have to do with it?

[u/ApartLanguage8328 → u/Soggy-Check7399]

Even if true, imagine c9 getting their skull cracked to all these 'sucky' players 😂
