[@trevorwarren3337]

I’m so glad at how consistent and good Nicks content is now from irl streams to these podcasts now, I love it!

[@BiIlDipperIy]

Forreal, I think homie seriously underestimates his personality. He's just a chill ass "bro" that anybody would love to have as a friend. I'm trying to put my homie onto optic who just got into call of duty more recently with WZ. Hecz really is a stand up guy for keeping the OGs together and helping them grow. Most wholesome and loyal org 💪

[@erphaanam]

seeing nick healthy and happy makes my heart so warm :) y'all are a family.optic for life

[@Jackleston]

h3cz did clutch up down 3-1 😭 saved not only you guys, but definitely saved the community from falling behind by multiple years. its a great spot right now and without optic watch parties, no optic majors, no formal winning halo championships for optic etc.. who knows what viewership would be like. you guys create more and more jobs in this industry with every thing you do because it keeps it growing.

[@FpsSundayGaming]

Well fkn said my guy

[@Arc5Gaming]

Hell yeah, the fact they all have been given a position with in OpTic, under Envy, is amazing. Truly grateful to see these fellas accomplish their dreams.

[@stompingpeak2043]

Yeah. Not really up for debate. Sure someone may try to act too cool for the trendy optic. Then name some og people in competitive gaming like strongside but that doesn't change the fact.

Hector is the man. Nobody besides Stro has done was he has done. And now they teamed upx

[@ryleybulmer6282]

Concept for community event: Sell 150 'player' tickets for the eSports Stadium, plus spectator tickets, obviously. Organise a private WZ2 lobby for all 150 players. Placing in WZ determines a 'rank' for each player. Players are split into pickup teams, based off their rank, for a 4v4 tourney. Could have pro's/ex-pro's as captain's/coaches. Could be a really fun way to interact with the fans!

[@OrionInSpace]

I have always wondered how different life would be for everyone in OpTic if Hecz couldn't have gotten it all back. I just know wherever anyone went, they were going to find great success.

[@xOriginalFlux]

From someone who’s lived in both Dallas and Chicago.. I can tell y’all didn’t go out much in Chicago. There’s bars and clubs everywhere in Chicago. Gold Coast, Old Town, River North, Wicker Park/Logan Square, West Loop just to name a few neighborhoods… A LOT more than Dallas.

[@Palestiino]

Bro you can just tell BoZe is flourishing with the content shit. Homeboy looks the most comfortable with this shit I’ve seen him.

[@adanbenitez1725]

the craziest thing about the faze/optic stuff is how envy was able to build the infrastuctrure for this org with a much smaller fanbase.

[@F2P5_SZN]

When people talk about faze and optic and such, and say faze is so high profile making bank. I think… but their collab content looks boring and slow then you look at optic and its straight laughs and chill vibes and everyone just hangs out and vibes. I think if faze would do what optic does and just do podcasts or content videos together like a big main channel it would genuinely make them soar in popularity again.

[@edgarflores2780]

BEST SQUAD. JUST MISSING HECS AND FORMAL😂😂

[@BinkBinkk]

scump just sits there with a smile and i love it

[@krispyquam5713]

Yes he just smiles

[@Ry_Trades]

I doubt anyone truly cares or will see this but I'll do my best to explain the FAZE stock plummet. Basically they Merged with a Special Acquisition Company (SPAC) which usually causes the launch of the stock to be way overvalued Price-wise. Also, depending on the structure of the deal (I don't know the details to this one exactly), insiders and those involved may be given Shares that they can convert or redeem immediately, where some Mergers require 90-180 days before they can sell their securities. It basically Opened way overvalued near $10 and their true Cash Value Valuation is roughly $0.61/Share and it is currently trading at $.66/Share, which is closer to its 'True Value'.

[@Ry_Trades]

Also, as of last week, there was articles posted that FAZE was looking to now go Private, which would make their stock worthless as it would not be able to be traded anymore, so it is highly likely that people are selling to get out before that possibly happens

Let's gooooo great way to end my work day on a Friday

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

Hey hecz and all of optic, you guys should do a call of duty podcast....when you got a few cod pros and hecz, you should talk cod and set up a different podcast where you guys talk about your war stories. That's why your podcasts are growing slowly. Grow quickly by giving the gabs what they want

[@FlameARS]

Been saying for years that FaZe is like OpTic if H3cz never bought it back. Glad they are speaking up on it now, love Rain and Teeqo, Apex etc.

goated episode, love this group

[@TrickBot]

DMZ is decent for the rewards. As someone who bought the game I regularly use the taq blueprint fight night from Ashika island. DMZ is free so thinking that people can get rewards like skins and blueprints without purchasing the full game is pretty cool. Players can be a bit annoying tho. And the AI is insane when you don't give them space and headshots.

[@krispyquam5713]

DMZ has the coolest rewards and it’s ass I wanna earn those from ranked.

[@alexanderdjr]

14:37 “I had a home?” 🥺

[@Tyheir]

Can we get BigT to come on the Pod next time and talk about the faze situation, would love to hear his opinion.

[@aaronlloyd6905]

What faze situation?

[@kb909]

Bro idc how much shit people give Maniac, I really think he’s very good at talking and I genuinely like hearing what he has to say.

[@joshackley2496]

The FaZe situation happened because they went public and took in a lot of money from VC and corporate investors who had no idea how to operate in the space. Banks and Temperrr and Rain no longer run FaZe and that has been the issue. The investors brought in a number of celebrities (Snoop and his son, Bronny, Kyler Murray...) that they pay a lot of money to that don't do anything for the company and none of the guys who brought FaZe up are being involved.

[@dantheg6336]

[@jaychavez9040]

DT Chicago is touristy for sure, but you guys would only spend time in River North and thats it lol Ran into you guys a few times, but there is way more things to do besides Mag Mile and River North in the actual city lol

[@raphaelbiello9095]

i feel like the bottom tv under the desk could get more use

[@monic5623]

The main issue I see with FaZe is that the new executives are distancing the brand from the community the original members spent so long building up. The executives are too busy collaborating with rappers and athletes that don't care about the team community and only care about the money that is associated with the name.

[@isaiahbangbang3661]

new camera? looooks gooood

[@BeardedSubieGuy]

Maybe Hecz could start recruiting Faze people since similar situations He could add them to the optic roster or offer a home for some of them to come if things don’t pan out with the faze situation

[@dertyJ3RZ]

Faze will be the 1st team to looooose everything cause of investers. U bring in investors an give them power over a movement they KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. Faze will be the example NOT TO FOLLOW. Optic is the Example to follow in this situation. Not exactly what they do but follow the path they layed out. They are truly the face of COD Esports cause they are doing things rite. This is all new so there are no true guidelines to follow but if you pay attention an do things rite by esports the ground work can be laid an it seems thats what OPTIC is doing. Laying the initial ground work. Much Respect to the whole OpTic Org. Extended to ENVY also cause they are part of the ORG.

Great episode!

I'm pretty sure the fan base is pretty much based off miners pretty much kids and other 20 year old 18 year old streamers that are looking up to. This logo or so called team but I'm pretty sure team counts before logo. It's pretty much saying it like if you choose a logo over family no you build a relationship.
