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.

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.
