How Cloud9 BROKE the Valorant Economy

Cloud9 went from dropping Yay to the best team in VCT Americas using a super cool approach to low buy and eco rounds. This analysis will explain how they do it.

I dont know whats more impressive losing on all full buys or winning on all eco rounds

Xeppa and Zellsis unironically have the best handling with stingers among pros to my knowledge. Their stingers have +5 accuracy.

0:45 The comparison would be better if you provide a ratio of win rate on thrifty rounds to overall win rate on all rounds. After all, a win rate on thrifty rounds of 25% by two different teams are both quite good, but if one team has a 40% overall win rate and the other has a 60% win rate, their success on thrifty rounds should feel very different.

Incredible video! I often struggle with pro analysis as it ignores all the little details, but you pointing out the basics along with the more complex and crucial parts of their gameplay is super easy to understand! Thank you!

One reason it works is xeppa is crazy with stinger and the new guys are insane with deag

I wish my matches could play this coordinated

new c9 strat dropped: just don't ever buy since they always win ecos and lose the gun rounds

You win a disadvantaged fight not by being cautious, or by being reckless. You win it by being smart and know how and when to put the fight on the narrow band of advantage you have over the enemy.

Leaf as well he does a lot damage when using the stinger too also Leaf & Xeppaa + Zellsis's frenzies are known as the best while that trio is good at being a rifter, then Jake is insanely great using the ghost while Runi has a deadly sheriff and marshall

This was a very well structured video, I see you've done your homework and are improving :)

[beangate]

C9 CS:GO was known as eco gods as well. Such an iconic duo.

[diyaelsadek]

this explanation video helped me a lot on understanding how to play for the team instead of playing for myself. I really thank you for this lesson :)

[Robert-elsl]

imagine if c9 could win gun rounds too

[trrtrtrtdtd]

these guys dropped yay picked up some random dude whose name i had never heard instantly a really strong team

[this_Dream-SBR]

I have an idea on how to counter cloud 9 economy, they love light shields and light buys, so that means vandal is not as effective and if the enemy team doesn't buy heavy shields they are doomed against stingers and sheriffs, phantom could work against c9 but it is still too expensive especially when paired with heavy shields, so what can we do? Glad you didn't ask, guardian can 2 shot the body on lightshield opponents and costs 2250 creds, allowing for more constant heavyshield usage while still keeping a potent weapon, and if you pair heavy guardians plus buckys you have a strong defense against these kind of eco rounds

Cloud9 always been my fav team since the csgo days but even thought they started to drop after stewie and shroud left I still loved the team, glad to see them begin to win tournaments even though it isnt cs

This is why Shorty got massive nerfs after being basically unchaged for most of the game's life. They lowered the price too much but then nerf the gun into being unplayable because of it. When all they had to do was just raise the price to like 300 or 350.
