A term used in the game Overwatch describing the situation when a team leaves the point/payload in overtime, resulting in the other team winning by default.
The term originates from the pro team Cloud9 that accidentally stops contesting the point for several rounds vs. Afreeca Freecs Blue in season 2 Apex. This incident happened for the very first time on Lijang tower when Cloud9 won the fight in overtime but simply did not contest the point and therefore gave their opponents a free win.
A true C9 is when the point or payload is left in overtime in a winnable round. (Winnable being the keyword).
Sometimes wrongfully called "Z9".
