General Discussion HolloH-11824 December 29, 2020, 10:33pm 1 During overtime If the enemy is moving the payload and the players accidentally step too far away from it resulting in a premature loss I often hear people say that the enemy has c9-ed.Why C9? LazyTitan-126688 December 29, 2020, 10:34pm 2 Because a Team Called Cloud Nine got off the point during OT and lost the map.8 Likes Izzy-12460 December 29, 2020, 10:34pm 3 Because Cloud 9 got off the point during league one time and forgot about the objective, causing them to lose overtime/the map.5 Likes HolloH-11824 December 29, 2020, 10:36pm 4 Lmao, what a terrible legacy to leave behind12 Likes SendRevives-1271 December 29, 2020, 10:37pm 5 Doesnt cloud 9 own spitfire or am i crazy? MoonBurst-11262 December 29, 2020, 10:37pm 6 C9 or Cloud 9 is an instance from a pro play level game where the attacking team would actually win the fight, chase kills, and in doing so leave the objective point and lose the game. However, players seem to not know what it means and just claim “C9” any time a game ends. Either out of ignorance, or simply to try and be annoying.13 Likes Raventric-1144 December 29, 2020, 10:37pm 7 Yes they do 1 Like Lullaby-11294 December 29, 2020, 10:38pm 8 Cloud 9 did it first Lullaby-11294 December 29, 2020, 10:39pm 9 Yea they do, they got rid of their original roster and picked up the kongdoo panthera roster which became the original London spitfire1 Like RedRobbie7-1484 December 29, 2020, 10:45pm 10 Back in Open Division I believe, a team named Cloud9 forgot about the objective so many times within a series that it was just named after them.At least that’s what I remember.1 Like RedRobbie7-1484 December 29, 2020, 10:46pm 11 And british hurricane right?1 Like SendRevives-1271 December 29, 2020, 10:52pm 12 I would guess since Cloud 9 owns Spitfire, they own Spirfire’s Contender feeder team (Hurricane)1 Like Hajile-11864 December 30, 2020, 1:18am 13 That’s not c9, it’s a c9 when the team ignores the objective to chase after the fight resulting in a loss.They’re just using “c9” as their way of calling you stupid. Quixotic-21702 December 30, 2020, 1:28am 14 I really wish they never did that, because the joke they spawned is so boring and overused now to the point its more cringe than funny when someone says it.

That’s not c9, it’s a c9 when the team ignores the objective to chase after the fight resulting in a loss.

I guess that depends on whether you view a “chasing after a fight” to be accident or not. I tend to see it as an accident because no one would intentionally “C9” on purpose unless you’re throwing. DTMAce-1687 December 30, 2020, 1:48am 17

or simply to try and be annoying.

Yeah, it has almost gotten to the point where its toxic in some cases…An example of a C9 I actually managed myself one day: Vilkath-1644 December 30, 2020, 1:51am 18 It’s a very toxic legacy. Cause most people don’t look at replays before the match ends… they just call out C9 if any one is alive when the match ends. Never mind if your 30m+ away from the point, or got pushed off by lucio, ball, etc.Just instant claim of C9.1 Like Aven-21626 December 30, 2020, 1:56am 19 It’s a reference to an Apex Season 2 match between Cloud 9 and Afreeca Freecs Blue. Cloud 9 walked off the point after winning an overtime team fight a total of 3 times, which lost them the whole series and cemented them as a meme. DTMAce-1687 December 30, 2020, 1:57am 20 I remember one time we were battling on the cart in Junkyard, just near the end of the map, most of us had died, a Sigma used his ult, lifted the enemy team off the cart, but he himself also went up, and we lost.
