farewell, optic: the greatest ever

i am going to miss optic :( formerly envy by the way made up of such members like yay fns crashies marved and victor and the likes they actually won valorant masters reykjavík and placed top 3 at copenhagen and champions instanbul. okay enough of that thanks for watching!

[@fourfather]

yeah it sucks but they all have bright futures for sure

[@KortexxPlays]

I followed Optic into Valorant after the Envy team merger, loved watching these players together. The fact they didn’t make it into franchising is a joke to me, Optic is and has been one of the largest esports organisations since the beginning of esports, had the best and most consistent placing this entire season but still didn’t get a place 😅. Riot fumbled this Franchising decision

[@fourfather]

yeah i’m disappointed myself… i’m sure there are reasons the public is unaware of, but it still feels wrong that they didn’t make it through. regardless they went out on top with three top 3 placements this year, so they went out on a high note.

[@KortexxPlays]

@@fourfather is very true, I feel there were much better ways of introducing franchising though. I’d have liked to have seen top 3 from champs get automatic places and then top 4-5 teams from each region fill the rest of the spots. But money wins all at the end of the day I suppose, who cares if the organisation has brought the biggest new audience 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@frizzy3749]

it was around the management of the org, yk but i dont think EG really deserved the spot. optic owner was downbad for his buisness deals probably

[@fourfather]

i actually like EG in franchising, a bit boring on the clout/content side but developing talent like they do is cool. mibr on the other hand, is owned by some shady ass people, and i would replace them in a heartbeat. their OWL team has to be the most mismanaged mess i have ever seen.

[@KortexxPlays]

@@frizzy3749 Quite unfair for them to judge H3QZ for organisation decisions made by a different managing group and in a completely different game though. Especially when they’ve shown what they bring to the game and the passion of Optic fans

[@ZephYanezVal]

I started watching Valorant competitive last year and when I saw ENVY/OpTic and yay specifically I knew there was something special. I think if Optic had won Champions they would've been summentted as the GOAT team.

[@fourfather]

yeah it’s a damn shame :(

I genuinely thank you for this video Optic->NRG fans are quite less number and clout. But this video brings us all together!! Kudos brother, loved the video. I have been following FNS, Crashies, Victor, Marved, yay since those NV days.. I have been a fan since the start, and I'll be a fan their forever, thank you for being the best, putting so much effort in their games and etching themselves in my memories.

[@Jel]

love this video, i miss optic, really great music choices as well! I dont see alot of valorant videos with these types of music choices its very refreshing hearing some old classics

[@ShichuGurino]

it's so weird how Optic didn't make it into franchising... But seeing that, I can't help but think of how weird it would've been if Optic DID win Champions, but was revealed to not appear in franchising. That would be so sad and funny...

[@kb909]

may 2023 and man i love the nrg roster but these guys were special. i miss this team a lot, hopefully it happens again one day.

[@123rtXd]

biggest riot L by far in the valorant format was to not help optic in - the whole "we dont care about results" is such nonsense bs. it pisses me off how excited i was for the new format only for optic to not even make it in.

"Farewell, *Gambit*: the greatest ever" Need this please, I am sure it will get a lot of views

[@fourfather]

the optic vs gambit argument pretty much boils down to if you value longevity or peak, also i will likely never cover gambit because i think commend already put out a video on them

[@er3n_genes1s21]

@@fourfather I mean the "longevity" is very much slightly differing for gambit but it is because they were dealing with immense amount of bullshit in 2022, which was hugely depressing, so i think that argument is pretty invalid. Also, it is ok if u dont want to do the gambit vid. I just requested for it. :)

[@fourfather]

@@er3n_genes1s21 well yes obviously outside circumstances played a role, but you can't just assume that they would have kept winning, you have to go off of tangible results. even then it doesn't really matter, because fnatic has ended the conversation anyways.
