LA THIEVES WIN CHAMPS / THE FLANK

[@rissky.]

I would love to see MW2 return to the OG Prestige System, but clearly that's way too much to ask for. Hopefully Ranked releases sooner than February 18th this time around 😂

Great year of Flanks Tom, Love how popular the show and your brand is getting and I hope you realize how appreciative we are of you doing this show not only for the scene but for us personally 💚

Great season of The Flank Tommy. Great guests, great vibes, great analysis, great moments. Very keen to see The Flank get even bigger & better when MW2 rolls around. Love the content man, I think really keeping pro cod interesting while also making it easy to follow along. Keep killing it

[@cosmicking7979]

man i thought after Octane dropped 2 donuts this team was done but im glad they pulled through

Amazing year of The Flank guys!!! I cant even express how much I enjoyed it!!! Thank you guys for all of your hard work and dedication!!

[@randbob4676]

Vanguard was dogshit but the cod scene as a whole this year was much more exciting because of it. Hopefully next year the competition is better along with the game but having multiple different winners throughout the year made for some fun storylines. MW2 flanks gonna hit different, can't wait for them keep it up zoomaa.

[@Ujw0]

Great year of the flank. See ya fellas on the next cod

[@vinsmokesanji6280]

Hope the MW2 season has more Lans and less breaks. Really kills the vibe when they go for a 1 month break in the middle of the season

[@iTzWoodstock]

Brah Pat being cartman this episode is the best

[@toon_ily]

I have the best idea for the flank during the off-season !!!! You guys teach the history of cod. All the young people watching call of duty started watching in the jetpack era or after who the top dogs were in the golden era of call of duty. They think bo4 is a better call of duty then bo2 and disrespect they players that were actually good when it took a brain & strategy to win not just slide around corners. You have 1 hour podcast per week of each call of duty title where you talk about who the top dogs were who won nats who won each event or pcl start with cod4 etc you aches & parasite will have crazy insight to who was actually good at what old titles. You can have a guest or two each show of players that were elite at that specific title to have more insight for example maybe assass1n Rambo or Moho for cod4, or sharp stainville jkap john for other titles. It would be super interesting and give the flowers to some of the older players who kids today have never heard of but we’re goats of their time. Perfect for off-season content

[@Maximum_37]

waggy really seems like a good guy I’d love to see him coach but I’d really miss him on the flank love what toms grown around him 💯

Pat said "when the lights hit em, they ain't even know their own names" 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm weak!

[@NoahGRFN]

Aches talking about Drazah's "free two piece" on gav control but aint gonna acknowledge Arcitys literally got a free three piece flanking through green to midcut to even get FaZe back onto the B point.

[@nikhilramsumair1368]

Great season this year guys, regardless of the absolute dogshit game. WLANK

[@nVdarrius]

first full season watching the flank and i couldn’t be happier to be apart of the community man. been loving the zoomafia ever since i started tuning into the streams. here’s to running it up next year🥂❤️

[@dcElusive]

Ben always wants the smoke with Patty LMAO

[@KerzyMonkey]

I wanna see Scump take up flex role next year, I feel he suits it more at this point in his career.

[@mirxc9105]

Bro what

[@matthewsantos655]

So are u saying to drop Illey

[@NoahGRFN]

would be interesting to see. especially on Gav when he had to play the 3rd AR role he was there best player for Gav HP. but if Scump went to flex, would Illey be on SMG or pick up someone new?

[@quickshot4050]

Honestly that makes sense considering his play style is very pre-aim heavy but aggressive, he would be a perfect flex, drop illey and pick up hydra and u have a god squad.

[@jamessharpe2625]

@@quickshot4050 illey for hydra is a bad swap considering what illey brings to the team besides gunny.

[@josephknight6106]

I agree with aches. The fact that Kenny was a sub then an AR for 3 years, then becomes WW2 bandana ken when he gets hot with a sub again. He proved how versatile he can be with switching roles. Kenny could play cod for a long time.

Solid work from the flank guys!

I would literally buy tickets to see cod pros box eachother please Tommy you can do this brother.

[@thealpaca2015]

Remember at the beginning of the year when everyone was saying Thieves were the best team in the game before the season started?? It all finally came full circle and they proved it. Fanfuckingtastic job throughout the year Tommy, Haggy, Pat and Ben! Can’t wait to see what the Flank brings next year!

[@SirJorge.]

They weren’t the best in the beginning lol, optic steamrolled everybody. Faze was their only challenge. Lat literally got bodied by optic in the beginning of year

This is a good experiment for call of duty being on a 2 year cycle, it will be interesting to see how the mets develops or of it becomes stale at some point into the 2nd season

[@ccm0222]

[@TonyB369]

If theres a lot of maps, it probably won’t get stale. My fear is that we have like 4 maps again for a whole year.

[@LightsOut-KP]

Im more excited for offseason flank than vanguard flank lmbo. Gotta get ben on more tho. That man needs to be a permanent fixture here.

[@florinzam6964]

I feel like FaZe really needed that first SnD, you know first 3 maps were 2 Gav, they really needed that

[@AVerySillySausage]

The map Faze needed most was Tuscan HP. LAT had beaten Faze the last few times they played Tuscan SnD anyway. But Faze had won the Tuscan HP the last 2 times they played. Realistically the first 3 maps all favoured LAT and they got the best possible outcome by starting 3-0, Faze needed to take their smg map to keep the series going. Once they lost that map too and went down 0-4, it was chalked. Faze even started to heat up though, it was starting to look scary. I feel like if they had taken that Tuscan HP there was a good chance they make the comeback and it goes to map 9. You could see the Faze guns starting to get really hot late in that series, it felt like LAT was still playing that Berlin Control perfect but Faze just got so many kills that LAT had no room to make the plays they normally make, if they slaying was even LAT easily win that but Faze were just not dying.

[@florinzam6964]

@@AVerySillySausage i agree that tuscan HP was another swing map but the way Thieves were playing respawns Faze needed a lot of SnD wins starting with the first one. Going down 3-0 and then 4-0 kinda sealed their fate

[@chrislopez4143]

Ttk needs to be high next year. I feel like players looked better than they were this game because kills were so fast. Respectfully.

[@PumaCatDaily]

Zoomaa you gotta get a Pred vs Censor 1v1. Pred looks built and I know Doug would fs trash talk the entire time. W content tbh

[@skinnii3dart844]

LAT should get extra kudos for bringing consistency to a game that was so trash. Not only did they have to battle the talent on the other teams but also the game itself. To win Major IV and then Champs back to back with the teamwork they showed is amazing. As for Faze they just didn't workout how to win in Vanguard and now they blame the game. Every team had to play on the same maps with the same guns and equipment. It just sounds like sour gapes from them.

[@TonyB369]

Agreed. If they had won, there would be a lot less complaints about the game from their camp.

[@brick5m782]

[@yerrswearr6831]

Happy birthday bro🎉 mine in 3 days!

[@SphereRS]

The other thing about having a two year cycle is that teams can "scrim" and practice the game in the off season as well. Normally they would be waiting for the new game to come out and trying to learn all of the metas and maps and modes, etc.

[@Scarcities]

Re crowd ruing defuse: They should be able to turn off oracle mode and only spectate the team that planted the bomb.

[@Seraph89_]

Take Champs to Miami like they said. Less taxes is always good.

pat- “a team can’t be that much better than another team due to vanguard” also pay “the top 6 teams are massively better than the bottom 6 teams” ??????

[@VeraKami]

He's basically saying that a Top 6 team can't blowout any of the bottom 6 teams due to how Vanguard was made. Certain sides give you a advantage, Berlin is a easy example. And control was almost guaranteed to go to R5 lol. Game was ass
