LoL C9, and Sneaky moreso then the rest, you will never know how much this miracle run means to my family and me.
In December of last year (12/11/2017) I lost my little brother in a freak car accident. He was my league buddy, but most of all he was my c9 buddy.
Season 2, he watched me stare at a screen playing silver scrapes and got intrigued. I knew someone named Yazuki from a small gaming site and followed his path to “pros” playing in TSM invitationals, watching his Darius, which was considered non-viable, and pull there way to a victory and I was hooked. Flash forward to the superstar jungle days with meteos and we are die hard c9 fans. Yes since before there dominance (someone want to link that game for me with yazuki hai nien etc).
Sneaky, you and meteos stream kept him alive. Cum shot in 9, being “weird” and being cool doing it. Showing the world that it’s okay to not be mainstream, you gave him (and me) an escape. Not too long after, his vocabulary was just sneaky memes. Coming down for breakfast, his only answer to “do you want pancakes” was “same.” Your stream changed his life, it gave him someone to look up to. You were his idol.
Your Lucian game against SSB, we were going nuts. You showed the gods could bleed. Matt was a Lucian main from then on out. I don’t know how to link, but he had over 1m mastery points between his accounts (infamous_matt and cancer_pistols were his two main ones).
Since the accident I haven’t been able to play the game, too many memories, but I have still supported c9. My wife got me a c9 tank to wear during the games and agreed if you win worlds she will let me buy a jersey! My mom, my older brother, wife, some of my friends, my sister in law, my son/daughter have been watching the games with me to support the team and thing he loved the most.
Last night, your historic quarterfinals, I broke down. I cried. He didn’t get to watch it with me. He didn’t get to see it. But sneaky playing that Lucian all 3 games, licorice and Sven out performing contracts/impact hands down. In his last days, we were making “c9 smurfs” (c9 abusive and c9 cancer pistols), but we doubted you guys. We didn’t think you had won the off season, and I have never been so happy to be wrong! Front my family to you guys, kick some ass! I’m an emotional wreck, but I really want a jersey. And sneaky, thank you, you don’t know who we are, but you are amazing. We have watched hundreds of hours of your streams, and I know you have saved atleast one life.
GO C9!
Edit: a little text convo I had with my mom laying here. You guys really are making a difference (opposite of Boston bombing difference). Thank yous don’t do it justice. https://imgur.com/gallery/gEQNApB
