C9 owner flexes on LCS rivals while offering Challenger players for ‘zero buyout’

Cloud9 owner Jack Etienne made a bold offer to the other nine teams in the LCS following his League of Legends team’s victory in the Spring Finals on Sunday: take the fnchise’s Challenger-level squad if you want, free of charge. 

Etienne urged any LCS squad interested in taking one player (or the whole team) and putting them in their starting lineup to reach out to C9 as soon as possible, largely because he believes the team is ready for the big stage and wants to give them a chance to play at the highest level immediately.
