Bro hearing Yamato talk about his stay with Dom was so fucking wholesome. That part where Dom says he needs to appreciate his own house more hit me right in the feels.

[@drewmalekith4614]

A reminder for everyone the Berserker spring blow up, Jojo was the source of that tilt. After berserker hit the wall one of the other players even said to Jojo “your lucky, that’s your face next time Jojo”

[@ftu2021]

I think irl fight Jojo hands down wins

[@tinecchi3648]

That pissed me off so much. Berserker compared to last year was playing horrible and really didn’t look like he cared. But then gives Jojo all the bullshit. Berserker looked very similiar to his first spring when ls was in c9. He looked only good with zven, which makes sense. Zven is a vibe, has good macro and prob helped berserker a lot moving around the map.

[@abadida]

lmao Yamato has great storytelling

[@rudedinosaur]

I think Yamato enjoyed Texas

[@ShawnBlaque]

Winning seems to be very detrimental to Bwipo's health lol he was perfectly fine and humble coming in 2nd-4th. Guy wins 1 split and stops taking his meds..

[@jj-cz3rq]

Very glad Yamato enjoyed his trip.

[@ethan3758]

"that was an alarm clock, but I'm still snoozing" 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I swear Yamato has the best one-liners 😆🤣😆🤣

[@iliekturtles2709]

Bwipo might have been suffering from a manic episode. Like bipolar mania type of thing. Symptoms like, "Being more talkative than usual. Talking so much and so fast that others can’t interrupt. Showing impulsive behavior that can lead to poor choices. Having inflated self-esteem, thinking you’re invincible." Bwipo's normal talkativeness, confidence, and quick thinking all might be explained due to mania, but this recent episode might actually be a manic episode. At the worst of a manic episode, " Delusions are false beliefs or ideas that are incorrect interpretations of information." Like his strong beliefs in certain things seem delusional and I don't mean to be insulting, but more diagnostic.

[@weixia5577]

he's been that talkative for years but he's never flamed people to that extent

[@iliekturtles2709]

@weixia5577 That's a bit of my point. Bwipo could be a manic person or suffer from mania, but manage it well for years. It would explain his mannerisms and personality. If he suffered a manic episode, all of Bwipo would have been turned to 11. It's no excuse, but he might have been medically sick. If this is the case, I hope he learns from this experience and gets better.

[@forestcaine]

My first thought was a bipolar episode.

[@Kryptic..]

Can you guys just let Yamato stay on power spike

[@Leah_Newton]

It's amazing Dom gave Bwipo the doubt of a possible mental breakdown instead of going ham like most people. I have been watching Bwipo's stream for some time and I too know he is a very nice streamer who is constantly encouraging and educational throughout the broadcast. I was really surprised that he went berserked like I did normally 😂 (I curse WAY HARDER!)

[@SnowLepard92]

Time to convince her Yamato😂

[@AshendisTV]

To the JoJo point, beyond the whole "Oh C9 doesn't have a challengers team, and they don't even have anyone to replace him with, etc." - even if you *tried* - hell, even if they put *FUDGE* - WHO IS STILL ON CONTRACT WITH THE TEAM - even if they put *FUDGE* back at mid just to fill the gap, fans would cry so hard about "oMg iTs lIkE tHeY gAvE uP" There was simply no winning, no backup, no other option. They pinned themselves *SUPER* hard into a corner because they didn't take the same action with JoJo that they did with Jensen/Sneaky/Smoothie, or even with LS back in '22.

[@Gsyekd]

So true actually. As a C9 fan I gotta say that now that TSM is gone, C9 fans have taken the crown for worst LCS fans.

[@ppv1780]

This isn’t the first time bwipo says these things. In the conversations after LCS, obviously not to the same degree but he was showing arrogance and insecurity already.

[@taylorpeay8991]

Lmao what. I don't think you know what arrogance means bud

[@ppv1780]

@@taylorpeay8991 I don’t think you can process information well. Your attitude speaks volumes of your own cognitive abilities.

[@Slacktionman]

I mean he’s clearly suffering from a mental health episode. He’s even been talking to a specialist. I work with mental health issues daily and it’s the first thing I thought of. Glad he’s seeking the help

[@raymondandsweetheart7150]

I knew c9 was going to implode when they signed Jojo. You have berserker Jojo and fudge. Three different play styles and bladder couldn't pick one or else the other would tilt or rage.

[@dirtydard4870]

Bladder lol

[@dobbs663]

[@evertvandenberghe3301]

4:55 Cause you have professional integrity Dom and we respect you for it. When you say X is good & Y is bad it's based on recent game analysis instead of on a vague remembrance of when you played vs player X like we can expect from DL.

[@yurimaciel2828]

As a brazilian and a generational PaiN hater, i'm so glad hearing this.

[@BernardRieux-l6x]

Never thought I was going to hear Dom talking about Vampeta. What a day.

[@SilentAsian72]

IWD needs to take Yamato to a college football game in Austin next time (even though he doesn’t even watch college football either)

[@antosqa7343]

Some things are permanent and that is the fact that MAD/MDK except for that 2021 year was always defying their expectations in how bad will they perform at internationals and this year they have to break their record by not making swiss while not playing vs a single major region team and get kicked out by minor teams only

[@winnow1668]

Bwipo was definitely delusional about his power in the EU when he was there. Calling himself the catalyst for why G2 was good was insane. Y'all fondling his junk too hard

[@KhaoticKaos]

completely true, without soaz breaking his hand the dude would not have a career at all. he's been carried by good teams the entire way while he plays decently at BEST and completely griefs frequently.

@@sephiroth2195 This is such a delusional take, nearly as much as Bwipo is. Has nothing to do with ''loving'' a player. If someone like Oscaranin had this big of an ego and disrespected players he's never even interacted with whilst being shit for 3 years then everyone would hate him too?

[@Kinwika]

Thank you turtle beach 🐢

[@HotshotMC]

I know it's very hindsight, but C9 could have replaced Jojo with a cheap NACL mid and possibly gone to worlds. 100T beat them and they did that with Tomo who was on DSG.

[@Verlisify]

Amazing episode. Hilarious hearing about Yamato's adventure and how it changed Dom's outlook on life. Also Dom 100% correct on never apologizing. Cretins on social media are just hateful hypocrites when it comes to popular figures so its impossible to win

[@evsthejedi]

When talking about Bwipo and other players blowing up or acting out of character.. i just want to mention that its important to find a healthy way to diffuse the stress and take the edge off of life. Generally spending time in nature, coupled with going to the gym to kick your own ass can work wonders for your mentality, and the way you interact with the world around you.

Calling that cloud9 roster a super team was always a stretch. Who is proven? Aren’t super teams made to compete internationally? I don’t think anyone thought they would do anything internationally lol even if they got 1st place in LCS.

Brother C9's roster was by far the most expensive in the league. By your logic no NA team, or any EU team can be classified as a "Super Team".
