"stepping off the payload" keeping the meme alive, what a man.

C9 came in and took a promising European team, changed them about every week then finally kicked them to the kerb after a month or two, for what? did they genuinely want this team for OWL or did they have eyes on a Korean team this entire time? can't help but feel C9 just wanted to completely fuck things up to "test" things because I see no other reason for this.

Wonder if Alicus will go back to making his own organization so he can pick up the 100 or so free agents in Europe and make a team or 15 out of them, personally think he should make a Guess Who? organization where it's 6 different players every week for the luls.

With what he's been able to build I think any Org would be crazy not to want his services. Maybe he'll be picked up by one of the newly announced ones.

Not really sure why people kind of act like the guy is a god with "what he's built" all he did was grab random players and put them into a team, if I had a million pounds I could do the same with the free agents out there and make a top EU team out of it considering the scene in EU is hardly deep and anyone with half a braincell should have red flags when C9 come to you wanting to take over your roster when every single person on this planet knows it was nowhere near good enough to warrant a spot in the OWL.

I have no idea what Alicus done before LK but bringing in about 10 free agents, mixing them up every week to play OW then selling them down the river is hardly what I would consider someone with mad skills we can't live without, correct me if I'm wrong.

None of your points are wrong but he's made a successful OW team, made phat dolla and got massive publicity. Maybe as a manager you might argue with his success but you can't deny that as a personality he's been hugely successful.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he made an OW team that lasted about 5 months and had more players than half the rest of the teams in Europe combined and afaik didn't win anything worth noting, as a personality he's been a success since he's talked about and people rate him but as a manager of LK/C9 I don't view it as anything special. Who was the guy in charge of Movistar Riders who came kind of out of the blue and where fantastic till they disbanded? never heard of that guy being mentioned.

I've never understood why people hype him up so much. He hasn't done anything extraordinary for the OW scene, but more just showed that he's a fairly good businessman (which isn't that hard to find).

#11 You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a good businessman who's also involved with eSports, many people seem to forget you need good business brains as part of your organisation

And for those asking what else he's done, he was also the man behind Misfits, before the trade that they come out worse of (which he was against btw)
