Dashy EXPLAINS OpTic Champs Chances: CDL Confidence 📈📈

[@GunzyyyCOD]

6/7 losses were game 5. 4/7 were r11 G5. I think at the end of the day it's about the confidence and delusion that they bring to champs. It's either T8 or T3 iMO.

[@StealthSwith19136]

@@poorchris Fair enough, but it'd be different if they literally didnt just win a major. Its not a skill issue, the struggles theyre having is derived from something internal. This is one of the biggest swings ive seen in a while. probably since the EG days. Theyre talented enough to stay in competition as OP mentioned, but that only goes so far.

[@croczOTK]

They literally just won a major in which they beat ultra NY and FaZe on Sunday. Is it likely? No. But you’re being in denial to say it cannot happen. Any of the top 4 teams can catch fire on a Sunday and win. NYSL got 3-0d by faze twice on LAN before winning the finals. optic lost 6 straight series to faze before beating them on LAN. Any top 4 team can beat each other.

[@mtbjourney8209]

Just gonna call you out on one thing: Champs being more important isn't recency bias. Champs is more important due to its elevated status and prestige in the community. Saying that NYSL is the best regular season team would be recency bias. Saying that they're the favorites for Majors (if one believed that) also is probably not recency bias because it recognizes the historical importance of momentum in these two CDL events

[@SamJackson1993]

Think he said it isnt recency bias that champs is more important than what happens at Major 1. He was getting at the fact that it matters more winning when everyone is playing the game at the highest level after playing it all year, than it does winning major 1 when people are still learning the game. Major 1 in my opinion just shows who’s ahead or learned the fastest, not who’s the best

[@sensei7839]

Easier role is debatable when simp got 3 of the best players on the top 4 teams and scrap is the only AR with that high of engagements and a K/D on par with Cellium playing like a sloth

[@setitfree78]

Win Champs? Worry about not getting first rounded seriously.

[@falconhoward4032]

It's definitely still possible for OpTic to win Champs. Everybody looks vulnerable rn. As we saw on Sunday of Major 3, it just takes one hot streak for a team with this level of talent. Just need Pred to get his mojo back and get the SnD strats in order, then play confident and trust your body of work on the season
