OpTic have changed their roster almost every season since the dynasty and stack as much talent as they can but it doesn't work. Getting Hydra for Pred or Scrap for Kenny/Dashy wouldn't change anything. The current roster has proven they can win and one bad stage after placing top 3 every other major shouldn't stop them from running it back next season.

[@Fali888]

⁠@@DelayEdits can’t be a dynasty if you’re constantly looking for a 4th/5th

[@jjolguin2463]

dynasties only count of you win champs of that year. every other sports dynasty only is considered a dynasty when that team basically wins out and then completes the year with their respective overall championship but it also doesnt have to be consective for example alabama won the national championship 2009,2011,2012,2015,2017,2020 basically every other year but those years are considered their dynasty years even though the years in between they were dominant but just failed to win their championship. using that same logic optic only has one complete dynasty year. faze only has the cold war "dynasty" since they won all their majors but two and they topped it off with winning champs. col only won champs giving them only a ghosts "dynasty".

Call me conspiracist but if you watch all the optic team podcast Kenny always feels left out in the conversation often ignored blatantly by Pred and they don’t make eye contact like you do in a regular conversation, something tells me the “vibes” are forced much, look back at 100T content that team was real vibes and you see how Kenny behaves whenever he’s comfortable with those around him.

[@tobyandtracy]

That loss at major 4 I bet will be what faze needs to win champs…just like Cold War they lost last major and rocked the champs bracket…I think we will see the top 4 on a Sunday and it will be a war to keep faze from the finals and if they make it…I’m willing to say faze will take it….either way I can see anyone in the top 4 winning I say faze will but won’t be shocked if they don’t

[@benson6134]

My honest opinion on why faze choke: 1. Every team studies them because they are the best so if a team happens to make a finals they got a good idea of how faze play already 2. They never come in with momentum because of the loser bracket runs made by some teams 3. They seem to change their play style and mindset knowing if they lose they’re getting clowned on

[@rickyjohnson6747]

They're 0-3 from losers bracket. Try again

[@benson6134]

@@rickyjohnson6747 I’m talking like losers round 1 which faze have never done

[@glapps]

Yes, I think this is a good conclusion. It is a combination of going against a team with momentum (LAG, LAT 2022, TOR 2024, NYSL 2024) and high pressure and expectations. It is difficult to build up such a momentum if you are playing constantly at a top level. Sometimes I feel like losing some more would be good for them. Also it feels like there is often one small point which decides the series, where they can't recover from in those moments. E.g. last years 5-2 choke in SND, or losing HP Rio this year after being up 60 points. Nonetheless they are still the best team in the CDL. Constant 1st at the end of the year. Most CDL titles overall, despite having a worse conversion in the GFs then others. But this comes from CW. Only two majors in three seasons up until now is definitely below their expecations.

Faze exists in the best of 7 finals era, if this still was the double best of 5 they would have found more success. Faze is as much if not more dominant than the other dynasties.

i don't get why all the talk is on "what's wrong with faze". Rab did the same thing last year talking about "what's wrong with Faze?" while they where dominating the numbers CONSISTENTLY every year, now he slightly singing a different tune but then went back to questioning Faze because of this result. Now i agree, it odd that they are able to crush everyone from game 1 all the way until the game before the finals. Because i compete and have been doing so for many years and studied people and stuff like that i'm wondering why there's no talk of people just absolutely stepping up when comes to "finals" vs another match all the way before? yes people should be going hard from start to finish but it's not how it always translate, some people come with the hammer during an actual finals while not showing that much in the qualifiers and such. This is the pros we're talking about and anyone can beat anyone when the focus is there, it's been proven, multiple times. NY came with the momentum and the pressure and showed up with the Nos for that extra 10% boost taking then to 110% while Faze stuck with their 100%, i think it's almost simple as that.

Can we consider the fact that teams who make a run from the Winner's Bracket have a disadvantage?
