buster = interz
 | 
United States r0l4nd_ 
i know it's early but does anyone actually think buster is better than interz to the point that C9 will improve? I don't, and I would go as far as to say their practically the same player with their skill set except interz is a much better clutcher.

its much more likely that leadership changes were needed rather than kicking the support player but here we are. hobbit can't be offline this season like he was in the first half of last year

it's such a stupid nonsense, that everyone saying. buster played better role than interz. and they've been practicaly the same on stats. there is no improvement between interz and buster, more like downgrade since they giving more space to buster than to interz and because of it their structure as a team now weaker. ax`le literally said that managment decided to switch interz and not team, so delusional seo or idk who just ruined team because they don't understand that c9 lose at major was not because they lack firepower or smth else, they just crambled against whole studium in Brazil who were cheering against c9.

i disagree, as #9 said buster hasn't been good since online era, before then i would agree but now i'd go as far as to say that he is a worse fragger than interz currently. He may have the potential to be better than interz but i doubt that c9's style will pull it out of him

They are not at all similar players, at least not historically. However, I don't think that interz was the issue to begin with, so I don't think C9 will improve significantly with just this one move.

I agree, I feel like even when sh1ro and Ax1Le pop off they sometimes get held back by some aspect of their leadership. I would've removed nafany instead of interz, because structurally they are fine and all of their players are at least decent and some change definitely needed to happen.

escorenews.com/en/csgo/article/43371-we-.. if what ax1le says here is true about team mood being better then Nafany should improve because he seemed to be the biggest that struggles with emotions and mood, but we will see. He certainly would've been the person i would've kicked.

— Analysts often say that Cloud9 still has some psychological problems during matches. Do you think that it is an issue indeed? — It was so. Will see how it works with the new player. To me he connected physiological problems and replacement. There was also a report/rumour before about interz but I can't find exact quote.

More mood than stress from this statement, interz was never an emotional player on the outside so if he was ruining the mood I’d love to know how.

Ok, I found what CIS insider overdrive said: "Did they do the right thing? Don't know. Interz as a player, of course, is cool: he kills a lot, supports well. But he had a problem that at the top tournaments in the later stages he somehow couldn’t cope psychologically and failed very hard. When this happens once, twice, three times, of course, the management understands that this player has a ceiling in this line-up, and something needs to be changed,” Alexey “Overdrive” Biryukov said on his personal YouTube channel."

Buster = more fragging potential Interz = better role player as a support, best CIS support behind perfecto
2023-02-01 21:26
I don't think either of them have much potential to dictate the outcome of a game, especially when they're both put into hard support roles. I would've replaced h0bbit before interz but I think the main problem is nafany tbh
2023-02-01 22:02

There were many ways how C9 could improve. One is to dump Hobbit and get young star like Outsiders did. That would be the easiest. Re: Nafany. He is underwhelming but there are no T1 IGLs in CIS atm. Maybe they can get Lack1 out of Aurora. Bot IGL shouldn't be a problem but he is playing hard entry role and it's hard to watch. He could play support role instead. Even direct replacement of support could help if you have a star at that role like Naf or Perfecto.

Yeah. I kinda agree. I wouldn't be against this move if they were at least trying something new, but they're just slotting buster into every interz position. Like, this clearly won't make a difference. At least give buster more entry responsibilities like he had in earlier VP and then make nafany take supportive roles. If C9 doesn't have any systematic changes, they'll have the exact same problems they had last year

Boombl4 is damaged goods. Unless he proves himself again at lower tiers, no T1 team will pick him up. Also last report is that he won't be an IGL in whatever rumoured team he is building.

The guy played 4 maps after a long break, give him time. C9 needed to change something and interz was the most obvious choice, cause they were just not reaching their potential. That major should've been easy run to the final for them.

his all time rating at Big events against top 20 is 1.01, which is not bad But yeah his rating significantly dropped in late 2021 with Sanji getting benched and Fl1t’s addition, so buster got all of the bitch roles which had previously been Sanji’s. But he eventually voluntarily left the team after playing together with Fl1t for 6 months cuz as he said he started feeling uncomfortable with his roles and overall with the team
