I wish PC players and media respected what Halo did for E-sports.

[@carlosr3099]

T B this a really important comment and fact. I’m glad someone else noticed this.

[@Landonio]

Amen,

[@johnpzaccari]

Was stoked when optic strength was a thing, I hope Mike finds his way in the health industry!

[@Dreamlineleather]

Great vid !!! Optic forever . Been a fan since I was in middle school till now ! I am 23 years old . It’s crazy to see everything you accomplished with a vision . Chapters close and it’s sad but I am at peace with all the great memories you guys brought me . My childhood in a sense . I will continue to support and follow you guys wherever you guys go ! Random fact I scored my dream job at 8-14-17 Optic day so that was a sign for me to be a loyal fan !!!

[@enriquecaballero6088]

The knowledge, flame is such a good guy, got to get him back on to talk more

[@LuckysAnnihilation]

Knowledge LMFAO. Saw this comment as I heard Mike talking about believing in clones

[@xwarchiefixi5103]

hi im 48 LMFAOOOO

[@enriquecaballero6088]

hi im 48 😂 well yeah I don’t mean his theories but how to deal with life and have goals

[@damienpatrick8334]

Flame is a solid guy. I never understood why he didnt get the love like some other members. Sad day for OpTic cuz it's last official day. Its been fun and I will support the content members on whatever they do.

[@MassiveAssFat]

He really is a solid guy and a smart guy. But his videos are just not it. He always had that same tone in his videos like he was reading a book or something. But i got respect for the dude

[@harper0270]

its wild that HECZ wants these podcasts to be like timestamps of different perspectives of esports because thats the main reason I watch any of these is to see how certain gaming things came about. Thanks for doing this man

[@santos5535]

Since LG is going down there for the bootcamp for us fans can you do the podcast with formal I'm really interested to hear his side of the story

[@GodsNightwolf27]

Scwahfee there was a clip of matt saying he should be on the podcast

[@sportsfan_913]

@@santos5535 interesting. 2 really good HP teams and EG who is a little more tactical.

[@ericl8207]

Fan of Flamesword since the Status Quo days. Instinct (Roy Lunch Ogre2 Pistola) vs. sQ (Flame Enable Snakebite Royal2) days were some of the best memories

[@crookzv721]

Man, I remember being in Highschool during Flamesword's peak days. Status Quo, Carbon, Final Boss, Triggers Down. Halo 2-3 was such a fantastic time to be a competitive FPS player/fan. Always loved FS went to Optic and found a permanent home. Great interview Hecz, thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@MR1SA1NT]

Amazing person in flame! Talk about a genuine person

[@morrellbarnes561]

The Lan Network could of been what Homestory Cup is for the Starcraft community where players and teams all are in a big house competing in a tournament but with a more relaxed feeling or like Summit is with Smash.

[@SoapyTaco]

Flamesword should have his own podcast, I'd listen to every ep

[@mysticmouse7673]

So great to hear from Flamesword. I always look forward to his insights and his knowledge. A really wonderful guy!

[@LyndonDykes64]

This is the smartest flamesword has ever came across to me personally. I’m here for it.

[@djksly2970]

About goddamm time h3ez Love you man

[@klono2850]

Best Eavesdrop so far Also, first one watching while high..

[@kevie3]

Dude...That gun ended up on the perfect hand for it to look killer in the podcast view 🙌

[@blastingoff]

The Eavesdrop is such a vibe.

[@the.jonfernandez]

I love flamesword, one of my favorite optic members

[@budlords]

❤FLAMESWORD THE MAN! Great video

[@Mark-yz7ci]

Hecz: who are you today Flamesword: 100%

[@riphelix]

For the love of God, yes PLEASE get Walshy on here.

[@authentictaco8166]

On lion king, i dont think it was bad. Though, i still think the original was a lot better. No eddy hyena, with the crazy laugh. And though i love seth rogan, you cant replace pumpba. Plus animation can do so many more things, and is more visually pleasing.

[@mehaileyb]

I love these podcasts. I hope to land a job in the esports scene someday :)

[@Iam_jardow]

I remember playing with flame in a pub back in... 09? Jesus christ. I was 18 grinding my halo account to 50. Jaw dropped when flame simply said, "sup"

[@geodavila884]

GET FORMAL ON HERE!!!

[@enemy-og]

Quartz is used to make timing chips in a lot of electronics & watches.

[@K2tHeING]

Loved it but would have liked to hear more of mikes history with halo or halo history in general. I remember buying halo 2 the day it came out and all the amazing memories playing that game. Thanks hecz

[@ninja_assassin4504]

Let’s get ittt 🔥🔥🔥

[@potion95]

By far my favorite episode ever

[@bob-1980]

I love flame so much you can just see how much everything that has happened with Optic has taken out of him. He’s not the high energy flame that we know in this podcast. God damn man why did everything have to happen like it did?!

[@cameronsadek925]

Yo lets get this guy a million subs come on guys you call yourselfs fans

[@GRAVEGAMING]

See you guys have some Dx Racer chairs. I have one and I really like it.

I wish I could use your DoorDash thing but it’s only on your first order :/

[@ggdaily6757]

Yo Hecz what Are your thoughts on the new call of duty Crossplay and are you worried it will effect competitive since pc does have a advantage and console is capped at 60hz

[@B1G_Brother]

no one in optic is uploading all we get is this podcast now

[@nathanskillman9497]

Old Guard!!! Stand Up

[@mehaileyb]

[@xThrawn]

Flame the DNA thing is called Crispr

[@flamesword]

Dude!!!! It was on my tongue all day the other day and I just couldn’t remember what it was called, good looks!

[@xThrawn]

OpTic Flamesword No problem, yeah I did a lot of research into it at one point. Star Trek and some other shows I’ve watched got me interested in it. It definitely could be very beneficial, but it could also be very bad if used in the wrong way. It’s a very controversial topic and the ethics are debated a lot on it.

[@kcx94]

Plz do the movie podcast !!!!!

[@chrisarroyo471]

Does anyone know who has left optic recently?

[@HP-rz7ew]

One of the worst years of my life personally and I can’t quite believe what’s happened to OpTic, it’s like a nightmare, I hate infinite!!! #GREENWALL FOR LIFE 😞
