This is an interesting pick for them to pick up such a toxic player and put him in an otherwise healthy team environment. Also, I thought he was suspended indefinitely? On top of the fact he just seems like a poor-man's Bjergsen.

This is one of the most ignorant comments I've ever read. Incarnation WAS very toxic but pretty much every EU player right now can vouch for his attitude in solo queue (from the challenger streams I've watched he really never flames). Because of this and after excessive screening, they lifted his permaban.

Also, how is a legendary-status solo queue player (only reason he didn't go pro earlier was because of his ban) a "poor man's Bjergsen" when Bjergsen wasn't even a renowned top-3 EU mid when he joined TSM?

Incarnation was able to convince Riot with multiple behavioural assessments that he was no longer "Toxic" to lift his ban (I am not sure how many times they assessed him but it was quite a bit).

I don't know much about him but the fact is if Cloud 9 believe he is the best man for the job and they are happy that he is not going to be toxic at all then I am 100% behind him joining the team - the big question is if he can deliver as a player on the big stage with unarguably one of the best NA team.

All I know is it will be a whole new style of play from C9, Incarnation has already said he does not and will not be playing the same style of play as Hai did and even Cloud 9 has said they wanna become a more aggressive side than their usual Passive play.

This will either go fantastic for them or it will be disastrous...only time will tell

If C9 starts to get aggressive, I wanna see them play at the level of a Chinese team.

to be honest, I have said before if Cloud 9 were more Aggressive in their plays especially last year at worlds when they took on Samsung Blue then we would have seen SSW vs C9 in the semi finals.

they are a good side, individually they may not be the best in the world (except Sneaky probably) but as a unit they are incredible and could win Worlds if they can just be more offensive.

But I wanna see what Incarnation can do and what he can actually bring to the team first

I always thought that as well, they have great team synergy, they know how to win a game but they were always too laid back in going on the offensive. Which isn't a bad thing, but good teams can read this and they'll know that they should ramp up their aggression against C9. So, I really hope this brings C9 back to winning splits and beating TSM 3-0. :P And, of course winning out on an international stage.

As C9 is my favorite pro league team, I really hope to see them succeed and go far with Incarnation. I honestly think it will be a good rest of the split for them, and I can almost guarantee you they will be at worlds, and in worlds finals this year. I could actually see them going all the way this year, and being the world champions, but that's months away, and only time will tell if Incarnation will help them or break them. I'm hoping, and betting on, helping them.
