EMENES: Our largest MSI classes put C9 too far forward of different LCS groups to lose

Though Cloud9 had a disappointing efficiency on the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational in Might, it appears they’ve realized so much from competing in opposition to the world’s prime League of Legends groups—and mid laner Jang “EMENES” Min-soo agrees.

After their MSI exit, C9 support Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen pointed out the team’s lack of synergy as the principle motive that value them video games in opposition to the japanese groups. Since then, the roster has been working collectively to enhance these obtrusive flaws revealed in the course of the worldwide competitors.

In an interview with Travis Gafford on June 15, EMENES defined why the post-MSI C9 feels so completely different. “After MSI, we are literally studying about staff macro from LCK-LPL groups,” he stated. “I believe we’re fairly good at mid-game and later sport about tempo, side-laning, mid five-vs-five, goal battle, [and] imaginative and prescient.”

EMENES additionally believes C9 gamers have a better “particular person degree” and mixing all these elements offers them an edge over different LCS groups. “No different staff could be higher than us. I’m higher than them they usually are inclined to comply with my effort,” he stated.

Other than dominating the mid lane within the LCS, EMENES has set his sight on a better goal. “My purpose is all the time getting not less than semifinals in Worlds,” he stated.

C9 have begun their 2023 LCS Summer season Break up marketing campaign with a three-match win streak. EMENES, Blabber, and Berserker’s MVP-level performance performed a vital function within the staff’s first-week outcomes.

However the second-week schedule will probably be barely harder for the 2023 LCS Spring champions as they’ll face FlyQuest, 100 Thieves, and NRG. Their match in opposition to FlyQuest will start at 6pm CT on June 21.
