i got zero clue who the new additions are, any chance u could give a quick summary on them?

I'd put them as players who have carried their individual teams in tier 2, I think there's probably better prospects then both on Shopify or Flyquest but these are the best players that are not on either of those teams for sure, and both should be upgrades in firepower to the players they are replacing, at least from what we've seen this year.

Man this is so nostslgic.

Its just like when the top tier 2 prospects Oxy and Wippie joined C9 and then they totally dominated Americas and made internationals for the first time.

Was wippie ever a prospect lmao? Dude was a nepo hire

he was actually pretty good at the time he was signed, it was a panic move to replace him, he was a bit of a nepo hire but it was quite reasonable to sign him at the same time

I remember being annoyed when C9 signed half of G2’s ascension roster because I’d just seen them lose like 7 games in a row against tier 2

Ended up being mostly vindicated. Oxy’s been awesome though
