Cloud9: The Most Confusing Team In Valorant

hi guys, sorry for the long wait, no real excuse i'm just lazy, but hope you enjoyed anyways.
i'm going to be dropping a few shorter videos after this, and then take on a big project again. anyways, time for the description for the robots.
CHAPTERS:
0:00 TenZ and Friends
3:01 Fresh Faces
9:32 A Breakthrough
17:44 Out With the Old
19:44 They Signed WHO?
26:14 They Signed WHO (Pt.2)?
27:21 Not Ready Just Yet...
man i love cloud9! zellsis, xeppaa, and leaf! what great players! alongside jakee and runi, young prospect that are performing well! but what about yay and vanity, they played at lockin, but got dropped! what a crazy thing to do before valorant franchising/partnership america's league! and what about xeta and autumn, what ever happened to those formers members of cloud9. let's go even further, because cloud nine used to have tenz before he went to sentinels.

[@fourfather]

few editing errors of note: quiet caster audio during select TL and OG clips score after c9 and drx game is meant to read 1 to 2 in favor of DRX

[@judecannon8071]

Great music choices 👍

[@mangojuuls]

Umm its actually Team Liquid and OG LDN UTD 🤓🤓

[@VoltDoesStuff]

if there's enough to go over, a video like this about EDG and going from winless internationally to top 6 at Tokyo would be sick.

[@fourfather]

definitely a team i’ll take a look at in the offseason, probably a shorter video tho ofc

[@ArJayDM]

Top 2

[@urijahe]

@@ArJayDMedg not eg..

[@melsy9355]

Eg was more impressive though. Edg was the top seed in china

Loving these documentary style videos. Hope you get the recognition you deserve for this content!

[@fourfather]

thank you! i hope so too!

[@snuplis9842]

dude the effort you put in behind the scenes really does shine through. I feel so lucky to be able to watch your growth. I hope this vid was just as fun to make as it was to watch

[@fourfather]

appreciate that man, lots more growth to come hopefully!

[@karlmartin6247]

Absolutely smashed it with the editing man! I honestly don't think i have seen something this good in a long time, keep it up!

[@fourfather]

appreciate it a ton! thank you!

[@natedogpizzagames9261]

Just want to say this was probably one of the best put together and informative val videos I have ever seen. Keep it up :)

[@fourfather]

appreciate you boss :)

[@joshuakim8697]

This was a great video! I didn't realize how many times C9 were close to qualifying to LAN

[@fourfather]

thank you! and yeah they have a pretty long history so it makes sense

[@DisgracedAero]

Love the "forged in Chaos" ending. Fitting for this core

[@peteywillzz5694]

The editing on this is actually incredible I would love to learn how you did some edits. Huge fan of these documentary videos about teams, I remember watching C9 win LCQ and couldn't believe how it was almost 2 years ago.

[@fourfather]

any questions you got i’ll do my best to answer :) i’ll get a discord going eventually

[@touyakami1406]

Buzz on waving C9 away in LOCK//IN (paraphrased a bit due to English not being his first language) during the PRX*DRX vlog Buzz: I was the one who first thought of it. Buzz: It was at like 11-2 and they were still laughing? Davai: So you felt annoyed? Buzz: No no, more like "(these) f*cking id*ots..." Buzz: (At the half time) Our coach (termi) said "What are they doing, why are they laughing?" Buzz: (So I ask if we should) just say goodbye like Vanity did (against PRX) Buzz: And termi said "Yeah, go ahead. Please go ahead." I want to believe it was personally motivated because PRX and DRX are really close teams and big bro wouldn't take the smack to lil bro lying down. As a Pacific fan it's baffling to me why so many NA orgs like to engage in unnecessary drama, as many (if not all) teams in pacific are super close and friendly.

[@fourfather]

thank you for this! i had no clue this existed

[@azari_osaka]

it’s just banter, it’s really not that serious lmfao

[@touyakami1406]

@@azari_osaka i know in this case its just banter (a bit of bad tasting one imo), but im more talking about how its typically NA orgs that get into situations like the recent chet potter beef that seem to happen because they cant filter anything they type

[@Leo-ox1rd]

its bc NA dont win anything and choke all the time so they have to stay relevant somehow lol c9 talked too much before even qualifying to tokyo and choked, i predicted that, they will choke again on lcq

[@braedenc9904]

The reason c9 waved is even funnier because it all stemed from when MCE was coach for The Guard, and during the international event PRX was extremely disrespectful towards The Guard and their rookie players as such c9 got payback

[@muesl]

great video my man, brings back a lot of memories gonna watch the guard's video next, it's also such an amazing storyline

[@fourfather]

thanks for watching!

appreciate it man, youtube is a grind and i’m very happy with the response i’ve had so far, comments like this make it worth it :D

[@untitled9697]

video was awesome! keep up the good work

[@fourfather]

thanks bossman

[@commes6147]

one thing missed in this: C9 were the last team to make it into franchising, and only made it cause of the G2 scandal

[@Zhiham_]

good video man W music choice as well

[@fourfather]

thank you and thank you :)

[@credify560]

Now the lcq is finished and we sadly had to experience the reverse sweep from Leviatan so c9 cant go to champions. Its so sad to see them not competing, althought they've had such an amazing run in the vct league

[@fourfather]

it's unfortunate, but i think this season was undoubtedly a success obviously you prefer they make champs if you are a cloud9 fan, but people were ranking this team 10th in the preseason

[@Patrick-cc3ub]

@@fourfather That’s true, but it does kinda burn, especially as a fan myself, to see C9 fall. Some analysts (Sideshow) considered C9 to be playing the 2nd best Valorant in the world behind FNC at one point. So not making any international events kinda blows. Excited for next season though.

[@floodedalpaca6954]

C9 my goats, fell in love with them during the first VCT split after signing runi and jakee and im forever a fan now, im going to LA for champs so im praying they qual

[@fourfather]

unlucky about that last bit, i would love to go to champs though lol, hope you have blast :)

[@zuzrad3632]

[@poisonflyer1474]

R.I.P Twisten, a legend gone too soon.

[@Scout1942]

Late to this video but when the whole Runi/Jakee thing was happening it seems like the only people who weren't as concerned with the shakeup were the long time C9 fans who watched their other esports (especially LoL) since they've seen this song and dance before. Especially with how "Systems9" has developed in the LCS in recent years, they've been known to shuffle around players and aren't afraid to drop top talent because the vast majority of the time they continue to find success.

[@fourfather]

i think it was the timing more so than anything that threw people off

[@fourfather]

appreciate it! will do!

[@CartyCantDance]

Love this video bro! One question: How are you getting away with no copyright claims on all the DOOM WESTSIDE and other beats???

[@fourfather]

a lot of them just aren’t in youtube’s content id system, they’re still copyrighted and can be flagged by the holder manually. also occasionally use remakes of the instrumentals that don’t trigger auto-detection. i’ll get caught eventually lol, but i’m small enough to get away with it for now.

[@OKBUDDY21]

We will see them in champions, no doubt in my mind. EG are obviously better than how we expected them to be based off their masters results so far.

[@fourfather]

i wasn’t as low on EG going into franchising as a lot of people were, but after the rough start and BCJ benching i definitely never saw anything like this coming.

[@rofl2036]

i do not understand how you have 2.26k subs. a very calming voice, good at literally everything the video is perfect

I don’t know what music your using but there some high notes that are killing me it’s all over the “Breakthrough” chapter

ya my bad man, shoulda mixed those lower or picked something different. i forget that not everyone hears stuff the same as i do when i edit :/

[@amarog_stone]

@@fourfather hey in my honest opinion you shouldn’t fix the audio just because a minority of the people watching find it annoying (such as myself) but if it’s a majority issue then I recommend looking into it

[@nepchan2086]

Surely c9 didnt choke at lcq AWARE

[@fourfather]

no way that would happen, i can't imagine they would do something like practice without their IGL weeks prior to the tournament

[@gamma_0216]

Curry was hot garbage bro, weighed the team down so heavily when he was there. This reminded me of the worst performances I've seen from C9, Curry single-handedly derailed this team so hard and I understand it wasn't his fault for the trade, but I remember when I was watching that specific C9 squad and every week I go "Alright he's gonna frag next game, don't worry we got this", and his highlights on C9 were him watching flank on Icebox in spawn like a little ratboi.

[@fourfather]

LMFAO, ruthless comment. yeah it was clear he was just not fit to play at that level, but i tried to cut him some slack in this video because like you said the situation was terrible all around. i also try not to be outright negative when it comes to individual players in general. thanks for watching and the laugh :)

[@tekniik]

I completely forgot curry was in c9

not exactly the most memorable run haha, but he’s doing great streaming now
