Cloud9 possesses the longest win streak in LCS history (13 games), the most victories in an LCS season split (25 games), and won first place in the Summer Split. In the Summer Promotion Qualifier, Cloud9 went 5-0 to earn a spot in the LCS Summer Split, beating Team Astral Poke 2-0, and compLexity 3-0. However, just a few weeks later the roster would once again become Cloud9 with previous TSM manager Jack Etienne becoming their manager and owner of the team. On April 1, the Cloud9 roster of Hai, LemonNation, Meteos, and Balls was picked up by Quantic Gaming. Hai shifted from jungle to mid, and the team tried out new junglers and top laners in online competitions. The team later decided to stay together, although Nientonsoh and Yazuki did leave, causing a large roster change. Initially, Nientonsoh said that Cloud9 would disband in light of the loss. However, Cloud9 was knocked out in the group stage after losing to Azure Gaming and future LCS team Team MRN. Competing under the name Team NomNom and then Cloud9, Yazuki, Hai, Nientonsoh, WildTurtle, and LemonNation secured a spot in the Season 3 North American Offline Qualifier for the League of Legends Championship Series. Aside from League of Legends, the organization also has divisions for DotA 2, COD, Hearthstone, Super Smash Bros, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, and Vainglory.ĭuring the off-season, the Quantic Gaming organization fell into financial distress and shut down operations, leaving the League of Legends team without a sponsor. Please.Cloud9 (C9) is a North American esports team formed by the former roster of Quantic Gaming following its dissolution. But at least exercise a little self-awareness. Tell me again how you all know better than I do what's supposed to matter to me. Tell me again how I, as a part of the LGBT+ community and the vtuber community, am somehow disrespecting myself by linking matters of my own visibility to the greater malaise that the LGBT+ community faces. Go ahead, tell me again how I care too much. That's a material benefit and trying to handwave it away as some kind of purely aesthetic choice is missing the forest for the trees. It's a matter of safety, a matter of self-expression, a matter of community - I've met a lot of amazing people I otherwise would have never found if it weren't for vtubing enabling some people who otherwise would never have become streamers to do so. Presentation isn't just a matter of taste. I doubt you're going to read this post, but for the folks in the back I need to reiterate that that a HUGE proportion of vtubers are LGBT+ and the level of disrespect shown in this thread is reflective of the struggles we have to face not just in our own representation and visibility, but also just in terms of being taken seriously when we tell people that shit ain't right. On the contrary, I must suggest that you know significantly less about our struggles than you try to let on, seeing as how you dismiss visibility as a part of those struggles. Stop gaslighting me and maybe we can actually talk.Ĭlick to shrink.You seem to have some very misplaced impression that you have any kind of authority when it comes to what counts as a part of our struggles. I am really fucking tired of Era's propensity to be overly reactionary to anything even remotely new or progressive and this thread is only added fuel to that fire. Additionally, you might need to explain to me how these are "generalizations" when I am specifically speaking to the posters I've quoted?Īm I supposed to just put up with people telling me they're going to completely ignore me and anything I put out just because of their own unspoken prejudices? How in the world is that fair? It's one thing to say "this just isn't for me" it's entirely another to handwave an entire medium of expression and then blithely state your indifference in a thread that's supposed to be positive. Click to shrink.Maybe when people stop threadshitting in such a way that it becomes obvious how little they care about the opinions of people who either enjoy this content or actually work in the field I'll stop having to make "generalizations" about these behaviors.
