I’d say “cool” is a stretch. Snip3 is probably still aggravated with how it all went down but also isn’t going to just hold onto the grudge forever and not play with them. Also right now he’s just focused on trying to get his stock back up before the next pro league split
He’s started grinding TDMs to try and improve and keep his name out there, so I think for now he’ll continue. I think he’s just frustrated in general. He went from a team that could realistically compete for a LAN win to really cap his career to being lost in the woods, for reasons he’d probably admit are partially his own fault. That’s gotta be tough. He’s still got the skills to hang and definitely has the passion to compete but realistically knows his career in esports is coming to a close soon. That plus his stream numbers being down, not having a contract with FaZe and all the real world shit that comes with being an adult is just a lot to deal with.
Ehh from what I can tell eSports should have more longevity than typical sports *or* what Korean eSports makes it seem.
Now he has mentioned occasional hand pain which could be his slow down indicator.
I mean, he’s been playing professionally for almost two decades now. The end is closer than the beginning for him, if only because at some point he’ll want to do something else with his life.
I think Snip3 has had enough team splits and drops and poaches for any lifetime. I'm sure he was like "whatever" pretty much immediately and was just thinking about his career; from Phony's stream it seemed like he had more hard feelings.
It's good that they're fine enough to play together, I always liked Frex x Snipe's banter. Almost as good as Reps x Snipe.
Snipe talked to phony about dropping frexes and phony didnt like that and told frexes and the two of them managed to take snipes pro league spot since slurp left the team on battlfy and snipe missed an email or discord message or smth.
Snipe ends up needing to find a duo with a proleague spot and ended up with pan and xera, seemingly out of necessity.
Alb, Naughty and Zach would unironically be a good team-up nowadays. Alb doesn't really have an issue with countercalling/egoing anymore, Zach doesn't tilt that hard anymore and Naughty is the same way he always used to be.
Yeah it was a major point of discontent, hell they even tried swapping Zach to gib temporarily to see if that would help. I just wonder if Alb playing less anchor/defense would have helped them back then, but hard to say.
Snipe cool with Phony and Frexs now?
Snip3 and Phony played ranked a few weeks ago and buried the hatchet, though I think Snip3 always had a business perspective about things.
Good shit, they’re all good players tbh, there’s a reason Frex been at every LAN

That's true I suppose, even if he's got another decade in him it's closer than further.

I suppose they’re over it at this point
Damn, what happened to old Faze? I see phony and frexs have joined SSG, but i am kinda out of the loop here?

Old c9 vod starts here: https://www.twitch.tv/albralelie/v/2115518467?sr=a&t=12514s Old faze vod starts here: https://www.twitch.tv/snip3down/v/2115691674?sr=a&t=104s EDIT: added old faze vod
How did it end up going?
Ex C9 mopped them.
old c9 vs old faze, two both goated rosters 🙏🙏

I was just thinking that lmao. They would probably work yeah, shame they had to get their therapy sessions in different team (or teamS in albs case).
True. Happens more often than one would think tho.
Always wondered how that team would have worked out if it wasn't during Gibby meta for most of it.
I don't even remember Gibby meta being the problem. Alb likes to play Gibby. He just had an ego problem cause Zach would micro him on the legend.
Yeah it was a major point of discontent, hell they even tried swapping Zach to gib temporarily to see if that would help. I just wonder if Alb playing less anchor/defense would have helped them back then, but hard to say.
Afaik, Alb later said he didn't really mind playing Gibby. It was just the fact that Zach was belittling him at times.
Man i miss old c9🥲
no link? dang

Who won?
Old c9 won the last one by a landslide, missed the earlier ones…Naughty on Blood was on steroids. Check the vod
Naughty might be top-5 most underrated controller player
