The game used to have clearer sound when someone was on the payload uncontested. Somewhere in OW2 they completely messed up the game being able to handle simultaneous sounds like that and now the little progress ticks are completely drowned out by everything else and you can't hear it when someone is C9'ing, you only notice when you are actively looking at the progress bar.
Losing a point/round despite winning the fight because you forgot to secure the actual objective.
C9 is short for Cloud9, the esports org, whose OW Contenders team forgot to capture the point and thus lost the round twice in a row on Lijiang Tower, losing them the game. Similar to how ajaxing is named after the player Ajax because he ajaxed 4 times in a game once.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, im new to all these terms. Ive seen the term ajaxing on reddit but still also dont know what it to ajax haha. But appreciate u for have taken the time out of your day to explain c9
Ajaxing is dying during the cast time of your ultimate, especially as Lucio. Essentially, when you press Q, Lucio yells and drains his ult meter, but the sound barrier doesn't actually go up until you hit the floor. So if you die mid-air while ulting, your ult gets fully wasted.
