Oh, how little they realize the danger they\u2019re in<\/a>: Cloud9 secures $25M in Series A financing from various notable entities, including the WWE<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, the world of eSports has let the wolf known as World Wrestling Entertainment into the chicken coop.\u00a0 AKA Triple H, the de facto ultimate usurper and infiltrator has found his way into the burgeoning and profitable world of eSports.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now that his foot is in the door, it\u2019s only a matter of time before Triple H ultimately takes over every single C9 professional team, and then it\u2019s only a matter of another time until Triple H, and just Triple H is the champion of League of Legends, Overwatch, Counterstrike<\/em> and Smash Bros<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Granted, eSports will have been systematically ruined and destroyed, but hey, it would at least be a North American champion in some of these games, for once in the history of competitive gaming.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can see it now: Cloud9 will hold a press conference to announce their successful financing, and have a bunch of suits in the background to represent the entities that ponied up monies to C9.\u00a0 Among them will be Hunter Pence and Triple H, and during the press conference, Pence will accidentally bump into Triple H, and he will immediately be triggered and spontaneously retaliate with taped fists to everyone on stage.\u00a0 He\u2019ll finish the brutality with a Pedigree<\/a> onto Hunter Pence through the podium, before picking up the microphone and declaring himself the new ruler and king of the Cloud9 organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Immediately, he will bully, manipulate and capitalize on international customs to marry daughters<\/a> of other investor\u2019s companies, and take control of all of the contributing parties to Cloud9, and with his ruthless aggression<\/a>, actually give the organization the killer instinct they\u2019ve lacked to compete and overcome their Korean overlords<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Triple H will make himself the mid-laner of the League team and wear the tightest and most muscle-accentuating jerseys to the stage, and all throughout the games themselves, he will spam \/all chat to send intimidating messages to the players on the opposing team.\u00a0 The tactic will prove useful and C9 will storm through LCS and take over Worlds because scrawny Asian players are afraid of him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such tactics will prove effective in Overwatch and especially Smash, when a hulking Triple H is sitting next to a much smaller opponent, and he\u2019ll have a specially made stick to support his massive taped hands from breaking joysticks (by MadCatz, naturally).<\/span><\/p>\n

And after Triple H leads the Cloud9 organization to championships in all the marquee games, he pushes his luck too far, and makes an aggressive attempt to get some professional WWE2K started.\u00a0 He ends up bankrupting C9\u2019s coffers, because it turns out that all the WWE2K games kind of suck, and nobody plays them, and no amount of development, having them sponsor just about everything and money thrown at it, can make it a game worthy of global professional play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cloud9 ultimately goes bankrupt, but Triple H survives on the strength of his snake-like business acumen, where his investment in 2017 was the last money in and the first money to be paid out on all the return on investments.\u00a0 Ultimately, the eSports revolution crumbles subsequently, because of all the dominance that Triple H cultured through the gaming scene with C9, suddenly losing the biggest and baddest dog in every fight, makes all gaming pointless and not worth watching.<\/span><\/p>\n

All this, because Cloud9 didn\u2019t know what they were getting themselves into, doing business with the WWE.<\/span><\/p>\n

In all seriousness, this really probably means nothing at all.\u00a0 Maybe WWE gets some fat ROI from the all the fat profits that eSports are currently raking in, and whatever corporate stiff inside Vincent Kennedy McMahon\u2019s empire gets a neat bonus for contributing a successful idea.\u00a0 Because if I\u2019m a betting man, I\u2019d imagine Triple H himself probably has no idea what eSports really are, and couldn\u2019t be any further away from the business investment side of the company.<\/span><\/p>\n

But damn if it isn\u2019t fun to imagine that they\u2019re a smaller and far more narrow-minded company that is hell bent on self-destruction and ruining things.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
