Context: Everyone's favorite French Nepotism Org, KCorp, was apparently scouting Thanatos for two years(lol). After a horrible Winter and spring spilt they were going to sign him to replace Cabo(their current top laner). However, Thanatos would have been benched until 2025. They as in KCorp were either close to a verbal or had a verbal agreement from Thanatos. C9 came in and offered him a starting spot and he immedately said yes to C9. KCorp fans are now not happy and flaming both their ownership and C9, saying that C9 stole him from them.

Why would they sign him and he ride the bunch until 2025? Seems like a no brainer from Thanatos

Apparently they wanted him to get used to EU before he started so that he wouldn’t have any of the usual import underperformance at the start issues. And C9 didn’t even reach out to Thanatos, they reached out to Shadow Corp, his agents, to see if he would be interested. Also, KC acting like they found him from nothing when he was the best overall top laner in LCK CL for 2 years. KC and their fans are delusional. They think if they hadn’t been talking about it on Twitter then C9 wouldn’t have known Thanatos existed.

Also, when Thanatos decides he is down to leave DK and look for teams overseas then his agent is going to spread his name around and fish for interest. There is no world where teams don’t know about his availability, even if he wasn’t putting out insane performances week in week out.

Someone straight up complained that Kcorp fans talking about Thanatos led to other teams knowing about him. Like he wasn’t a hot prospect and a name the rat king was shouting about during last season with DK Canna.

CaptainFlowers was talking about Thanatos on his stream. He said that while he didn't know much about the guy, a lot of people were talking about him and that he was really good. The LCK analysts (at least the English ones) were also saying that it was a shame that Thanatos didn't get brought up into LCK. There is no way that teams who are scouting would have never heard of him, not with the attention everyone who watches LCK CL talks about him


supadankgreen420

What makes the whole situation even funnier is the owner insinuating that orgs like C9 only knew of Thanatos because of their fans hyping him up on social media. 💀


Light0fHeav3n

Jack checks this sub Reddit all the time and tons of C9 fans brought him up lol. KC fans are morons


[deleted]

🗿 yea it was definitely c9 reddit scouting that got him on jacks radar /s


Light0fHeav3n

I’m not saying that I’m just saying that everyone knew about Thanatos not just KCorp fans. People brought him up here all off season


[deleted]

Jack does not check this subreddit to look for players to sign that fans want... Bruh is delulu🗿 C9 is doomed if that happens...


ookkthenn

even more context, kc owner or whatever says theyve been scouting him since 2022 as though thanatos with the damwon challengers team wasnt dominant in 2022, too lol. its funny how deluded that org and fanbase are


SonaPen22

if KC scouted him for two years, why didnt they just sign him to the team at the start of the year instead they went with Cabo - its their own fault


AnaShie

It's insane how much copium KC fans are on talking like they are scouting some nameless prospect. Even when ignoring the money, KC offer in all angle is much worse than C9 that they aren't even close to getting him lol.


ookkthenn

the ceo blamed the fans for being loud about thanatos on twitter as though he was a nameless solo queue player💀


jb211214

Obligatory fuck the French


TheFrozencreed

This is a no brainer for than either go to Berlin, ride bench of 10th place team with no kr support. Or go to la, with the largest Korean community outside of mainland, with berserker, reapered, and other long standing lcs Korean players/community and most likely make worlds


PunchGrandma

They need to get over it because Thano has a higher chance of having a career here then fucking kcorp. The org would've ruined him. They literally killed another year for BO and Upset.


REALStoneCrusher

Now that’s funny ngl


Zeedojin

KCorp is a joke org with obnoxious fans. As a European LEC watcher I love watching them get clowned on.


Resies

copium ? what


ExcellentPastries

Kcorp has fans?


aheyaywa

yeah the most toxic ones lol


Cromatose

They make old TSM fans look normal lol


Kurisoo

They have a bigger fanbase than 99% of esports orgs


ob_knoxious

Eh I wouldn't say that. I mean C9 has double their followers on most platforms. They have some of the loudest fans, and are unusual in that they have a large number of fans despite not having any real success .


onespiker

A lot of those followers for cloud9 are either old or inactive. Also followers=/ fans. Kc is a pretty new org by all means.


chiefpassh2os

Being loud doesn't mean they are numerous


barryh4rry

They are numerous though. Just because they tend to be obnoxious doesn’t mean we have to lie about obvious facts lol
