Coming from an OpTic fan… Huke is B tier at best while Pred was top 10 in the league. We’ve already seen Huke get absolutely thrashed in multiple respawns. With Huke I don’t see OpTic winning anything this year. SnD improves slightly but the other two game modes are chalked even with Dashy and Shotzzy being the two best players in the league rn.

Huke is gonna fall of soon. He is just not consistant enough. Cant have 2 inconsistant smgs on the team who make braundead plays. Preds needs to come back as soon as possible.

i told Ben in comments him putting faze in 2nd best tier is biased if optic or LAT started 1-3 he would have them in 3rd tier at least

I missed this by literally 17 minutes

I don't know how to say this politely but huke is the best of a bad situation. Pred literally becomes Superman on LAN and that value cannot be understated. I know this wasn't a choose one or the other scenario, it was huke no matter what. But we haven't seen a cerebral type of player like pred who takes everything personally, feeds off the crowd, and amplifies his team since maybe denial clayster. I hope pred isn't done for good or off optic for good because if he truly recovers from his situation and optic pass on the opportunity to bring him back that man is going to DECIMATE them on LAN with revenge on his mind

OpTic without Pred is objectively worse. They lost to Boston with Pred. OpTic is not better than Boston

Better w/ Pred it’s not even a question

the only stat that matters is winning

better with pred

Huke forehead just kills me

Pred

Personally I feel like they look worse with huke, aside from dashy.

I understand them and not talking about it, but they way they are trying to erase their affiliation with him suck as photoshopping that overlay, is kinda sus

I think pred is better in the long run but huke brings good snd to the team so it’s a 50/50

I think you are missing one big big detail, the played with Pred for a whole year, they only just started playing with Huke, The vibes and teamwork won't be there. Not saying Huke is better but this comparison to me isn't really valid only because team chemistry is a huge part of it. Huke is not a bad player, inconsistent , but that was also the same criticism that Shotzzy had all year, last year. Huke is talented but it's his questionable plays that gets him, he does not have Hydra's awareness or Shotzzy's game smarts

Pred overall, just a better player no disrespect to Huke I'm sure he will go out and fry and compliment the team as best as he can, especially teaming with Shotzzy and Dashy before; it just depends on how they match against LAT and other top 4 teams.

How is this even a debate pred was the 5th best smg since he’s been in the league. Huke in the league is a walking 1.0 and always crumbles on land. The fact people are acting like Huke will fry in the league is hilarious when he’s been average the last 3 years. Pred is a winner and levels up when he gets to land. Whatever the issue is doesn’t diminish Pred being the 5th best smh in the league Huke even got caught for adderal in Cold War year and people forget he got dropped and always gets dropped because his awareness in crucial moments isn’t the best. Pred is by far better than Huke in every regard. End of story

Really appreciate the video, did a good job breaking down the stats. However, there needs to be a huge disclaimer that they played c9 with server issues. Where shotzzy dropped a 2.0. So it skews shotzzy’s k/d with pred massively. Also saying they played harder opponents with pred when the c9 series looked like a free W. The whole OpTic team slammed so it also skews pred’s numbers as well.

pred hype up ant to another level. i mean shotzzy stands up to flame opponents on LAN.... the energy and vibe with pred is just insane. dont get me wrong, i wish cuyler all the best but we already seen hukes not working/ preds the better pick. i hope so bad that preds commin back

I mean this respectfully, we don’t need stats to tell us pred is better than Huke, everyone is just trying to cope at this point. AG at ALL levels and categories is just a better duo for shotzzy and better for this team

Huke def at a disadvantage being he only had 2days of practice with the squad. I’d like to see another comparison once Huke gets some scrims in

Just wait till lan huke is going to flop!!

Another banger. Lfg

Out of this sample size this genuinely means nothing…. Either way rooting for Huke.

Now do dashys stats with hike and pred

Everyone and their momma knows Pred is a better player than Huke, but it is what it is at this point. Gonna have to ride with Huke

I think we need to see Optic play Faze and LAT before we make a call - Faze was Optic’s boogeyman last year but in MW2 with Huke Optic had Faze’s number. If bringing Huke improves their chances against Faze, I think Huke can work but at the same time he just joined so will need time to integrate and get reps

Regardless, hope Optic continues to be a top contender, with or without Pred 💯

Noti

Rewind being taken out feels like last year when they took out the first map that ultra was slamming everyone one. Everyone sees the top seed best map and votes it out even though it’s the one map that should stay
