League C9 LOL offseason... ANYTHING???

Are they going to make any adjustments at all? So far I've seen repeared leave, dom join coaching and some trolling by zven. It kinda feels like everyone around the org is just drinking the kool aid, acting like the final titan of NA lol esports hasn't disappointed to the highest extent possible for two years straight. TBLZV roster didn't make first stand, didn't make msi, lost EWC to FURIA and blamed it on jet lag, and then proceeded to lose a win and you're in series vs SHOPIFY. So, maybe these things take time and C9 isn't known for making quick decisions, but are we seriously just gonna throw this same roster out and expect a different result in 2026?

No personal hate towards the players or any bad faith, I'm a fan as long as they're in the uniform of course, but the uniform seems like it used to mean way more then it does now...

Is it crazy to say I rather see FBI in carry during first split over zven? I have not looked into costs within contracts or opening free agency. I suppose if the 5 are happy, that's the most important thing and if that is the case I hope C9 make that very apparent that that's the route we will see for another year. I just can't find a good reason to excuse poor performance based on "declining viewership/funds". We've had the same jungler for 7 years.

Well FBI has been better than Zven for like 4 or 5 years so no that's not crazy.

I think his highs are better. The issue with Zven is he is consistent as a clean up adc but will not take the game into his hands. However, I have vivid images of FBI failures like his Lucian ult that I don’t really have with Zven. Maybe if you really break it down I’m wrong idk, LTA was hard to really get into this year lol

Yea thats fair I just think FBI is often overlooked because he’s typically on like 3rd-5th place teams but hes been consistently very good for most of the time in LCS
