That's... not why people called that CoL team "juggernaut"...
They called them that because of Jason Lake's "lets build a juggernaut" tweet immediately after they bombed out of the Starladder major.
The tweet became a copypasta and they got called that as a meme whenever they lost.
It was absolutely not ever used as a compliment until they gelled and started winning several months later, namely at Blast Premier Spring 2020, and even then it was just memeing on the meme more than anything.
It became a moniker to show their grind and subsequent results for the team, kind of like Tarik going from “Peanut Brain” to “Watermelon Brain” during his peak years
Thumbnail alone shows that this guy has no clue what he's talking about.
The problem was G2 signing Niko and Hunter. Niko and Hunter were supposed to be The Colossus’ core, but they got stolen and C9 had to scramble.
69 likes, noice. Anyway, as a g2 fan i need theraphy most when those both playin in "g2 era"
From rosters that probably wouldnt amount to anything to a CIS all star team. Looking forward to what new C9 can achieve.
Buying out gambit was probably c9 best possible move to get back to cs go
I wonder how much they had to pay electronic and perfecto though
@@sentryion3106 2mil $
And with their newest signings, C9 has potential for another Major win imo
@@sentryion3106 According to rumors, Jack paid Navi 2 million for electronic and Perfecto, and 1 million for the full Gambit roster, making the total around 3 million for the entire squad
@@jovan426Source? $2 mil for electriconic is crazy high, I know I seen $1 mil for electriconic and $500k for perfecto. I also very much doubt c9 would spend $2 mil on an igl who hadn't had any real major success.
The current C9 is abolutely insane. I can't believe Jack was gullible enough to trust HenryG completely and invest so much money in middling players. He most likely learned a lot from that experience.
Jack should have learnt from faze. Big money for the players that earned it. Faze didnt even dump 6 million for niko and guardian i bet during their golden era pre boston major.
Faze won a ton of tournaments actually by spending
I really hated this era. But im pretty sure the roster with Kio, Flusha, and Golden costed WAYY more and it failed just as badly imo
i remember that time like it was yesterday.
i cant remember if they bought out flusha and golden. i do remember kio was a free agent and obv auti and rush were already there. price was the least of that team's problems tho. unstable roster was insane, it was like watching roster mania after every tourney. feels bad for auti tho he's still curses with roster shuffles
I'm pretty sure cloud9 compensated their loss of money by their merchandise sale. Plus compared to other teams, the atk line up was pretty cheap
They are not a mainstream sport team to be able to amass this much revenue just by merchandise. Don’t be delusional
That's one huge cope
@@arislanbekkosnazarov9644 obviously they didn't make back all of the money that they have spend on to that team but with that team the publicity and the relevancy of c9csgo was still there and c9 management was just waiting until they make a decent team during the pandemic.
Cope hard and keep your body full of lard
There is no way signing those players is paid for by their merchandise
electronic, perfecto, shiro axile...that should be enough fire power..hobbit is a bit off this year, but i think he will improve, as long as perfecto not shooting his head from behind😂.....the rest is about strat, team work
I think that was a good development stage for the signed players, just not worth that much
new to the channel, but loving the content so far.
Hey, I'd like to know a bit more about that obligation to stream by organisations. Can someone give me more info about it? Thanks!
HenryG is a Faze Clan agent sent to cloud9 to waste their boston major money as a revenge😂
In Germany we call this „Hertha bsc“
That gambit team won iem dallas for them .
You are under-rated and your content are fire .
It’s a server hosting company in Russia, they’re pretty well known so like
@@N00000OOOOBY these servers are very good though. Has tons of gamemodes to train.
So how much is current c9 ?? How much was gambit and electr with perfect?
Maybe it was very expensive, but it think its now worth it
The juggernaut and Colossus are also x-men villains
Funny thing is, EVERYONE saw that clusterfuck happening before it happend. Dunno who was responsible for setting that team up but the guy should NEVER touch cs again, zero talent
Wtf TC the current complexity coach which was mentioned as part of the South African team lost a lot of weight
Being filthy rich doesnt mean you know how to build rosters
The mistake eas hiring Henry G for literally anything lmao
so true.
Bro still malding at C9 and HenryG in 2023 😭
I am too bro 😭. Im pretty sure Jack is too
But this colossus wasn't even good on paper i mean we could say colossus about current roster, 2 top5 players, electronic, one of the Best anchors Perfecto and hobbit, the previous one was mix of average players who were past their peak like woxic
The thumbnail is the wrong csgo team
as a c9 fan ivs been very frustrated by our roster moves, since boston '18 our only good roster has been the gambit and now our current cis lineup
How can you say that Clown9 was the most expensive, when you dont know the buyout and salary of other players and teams? So you're just making stuff up?
Big organization $$$ ruined csgo. Before the game was big teams were more cohesive.. All friends from the same countries proud of their country.. Now every team is a mish mash of people from around the world in a single team sold to the highest bidder.. Resulting in poor gameplay and competitiveness.
At the same time I think this is good, it gives players more opportunities and choices.
@@anrijsc1037 It's not. It creates stale and uninspiring content, when everyone is simply there to get a paycheck, regardless of outcome, they stop caring.
We've seen this time and time again. And why should i as a viewer care if someone has a "NA" or "EU" tag, when they're just all over the place with their nationalities?
It's a big joke. There's a reason why eSports has been declining and people are just tuning out. Sure the people involved still make a lot of money and gets moderate attention, but it's just a big money machine and that's about it.
When profit is the number one goal, everything else suffers.
Now they have a top #5 roster with Electronic, H0bbit, Perfecto, Sh1ro and Ax1Le.
On paper it can be a top 5 roster, they aren't there yet even if the players have had success elsewhere. C9 is top 10 fs, but top 5 is too contentious
Story about iM
Falcons may take this place someday
oSee at least still in Tier 1, kinda
? Why would a random person walking i to a gaming house destroy the entirety of c9? At least add context to that wild statement
6.5 mio for a mid to low tier 1 team, murica at its best
Nothing compared to the Overwatch League loss
Okay wtf? Is cloud 9 North America or Russia now? I’m super confuse lol. Is hobbit and the crews mostly Russian? They shouldn’t be able to flight anywhere with that passport….
c9 is an na org and i guess with that their cs team is free to travel and compete
Yeah C9 is an NA based org but their current team is based in europe (I think they're in serbia but I'm not sure). The players of the current team are all from russia (apart from Hobbit who's from Kazakhstan).
The origin of the organisation itself doesn't matter, only the one of the players does. FaZe for example is also from North America but they field a european team + Twistzz from Canada. Team Liquid is originally from the Netherlands but they fielded an NA team for quite some time.
Good to know that Jack makes stupid roaster desicions not only in Valorant (yea I know booo) but also in CS. Maybe he should rethink his strategies
Imagine how much they would spend on ZywOo or s1mple lmao.
Just to give context
That C9 Boston major win was just a fluke
Even the players knew it & that is why it disbanded immediately
Cloud nine dot 2 was a huge joke also kept on resigning and cutting the exact same players over and over even thoguh when they were always trash
clown9 until 2023 still existed !
they should have just bought chaos esports instead of betting on eu players
NA
what else is there to say?
"By that time teams had to include superstar players like ... coldzera" haha you are clueless
Пятёрка Ларионова 👍
Story about fnatic
Wtf xeppa lmao
remember when woxic came? 😂
C9 under American Flag
Great vid lol, Cloud9 has always been a mess for years.. and even know the new team 2023 isnt looking good, They missed out on 2 majors already in a row.
Just 1 major and with nafany 😊
The new roster is mega on paper
@TopOnTops c9 only has Boston as a major.
at that time pointing HenryG is a mistake already, he should've just stick to commentating instead of being a Manager and buying a random good player he doesn't know shits about those players that he bought other than 1 or 2 good tournaments😂
C9 had the rep from the boston majors, and then wanted to keep up that rep, so they threw money at players, rather than building that dream team again.
C9 won a major
HenryG clown
that was the worst c9 team ever lol it was hilarious watching them
bro literally bought a team name and not the team lmao
bro still dissing c9 in 2023 tf, carry the hell on
Oh, times of the fake deadly virus 😢😢😢
???
@@meow2841 ???
Imagine thinking Covid 19 was gonna kill one of those 20 year olds 💀
all this shit talking is kidna ironic considering the roster you guys just signed isnt it?
Hey pal, leave us NA fans alone. Way to hit us while were down.
C9 won a major? This is a hate video
bro did not watch the video 😂
Imagine wasting money on NA Players
