Thanks Nero for coming on to talk about Legion and the OpTic match. Give him a follow! x.com/NEROPOlSON Let us know what you thought of the ep :)

Vegas won one game and now they on a pr world tour lmfao

[@efrainalvarez8771]

Its crazy how teams struggle to be consistent , but faze has reached what feels like every final in the CDL era. Obviously not every final but , they are consistent

[@prestonscott8214]

If that's the case.....they lose a lot than. Cause they've won the same amount of majors as Optic has in the last 3 years

[@SimmonsOllie]

Loved hearing from Nero he’s been my favourite player since he joined the Boston team

[@ShreyasGaneshs]

Ace always tryna cheese for lamar

[@BreakingPointGG]

This is the way.

[@vphantasy9935]

Why does ace have to stick up for accuracy all the time! He gets so salty when he's critiqued. Accuracy has done the same thing as he has every CDL year, really Big ups, and incredibly shallow Lows! His inconsistencies are to drastic. Its a shame but there are so many AR players like slasher for eg that would make a huge improvement. But unfortunately their can only be 12 mains, yet there seems to be about 20-25!

[@MavRicK_-gd7tp]

Accuracy has been solid but they should have kept vivid and picked up a Dillion wrecks to keep pace.

[@AlmightyWeick]

Davpadie has the most aura modern era

[@BreakingPointGG]

Chadpadie is diffy

Noted. We'll tell Ace to cut it out 😂

[@HGGAMING54]

This was just another day in the office for optic…. But on the other hand this was vegas champs🤣

[@BreakingPointGG]

Vegas need every win they can get to make Champs, it's a huge deal to them 🤣

[@benjamintutone4011]

How many times has FaZe went to championship Sunday compared to the rest?

[@benjamintutone4011]

If they get to Sunday more than the rest of course their % is going to be worse looking

[@jdawg3608]

@@benjamintutone4011it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if they didn’t have the roster that they do. With how much skill is on their team it is kind of absurd they always manage to choke when it comes to Sunday’s

Brother they literally only played 4 more Sundays then col. cope harder

[@flamingballsofsteel]

You do realize both the complexity team and optic both went to more Sundays right? Lmao

[@coolieee]

@@jdawg3608i agree w you, for everyone claiming them as the most "winning" team they really dont win as much as youd think, optic and faze have a choking problem but w fazes roster they def should have more wins

[@zachhayes432]

I love ace but I just disagree that scrap has the most aura considering 2 out of this guys last 3 grand finals he literally didn’t get a map

[@jdawg3608]

Question…I thought cod pros hated only playing one match a week, so why be upset or flustered about 3 matches in one weekend?

[@Alex-ip8tq]

Love the show, small piece of advice. Never introduce yourself first. It just shows a little more respect. Other then that, huge fan

[@ayaanc6]

ace got such a bias towards lamar the guys fkm shit bruh

[@RevolutMe]

I mean he is his cousin 😂

[@jgould30]

Pretty sure the national average IQ has decreased each year for decades now. So it would only be logically that the the intelligence level in all areas has decreased, including Pro gamers.

[@evanrandall8384]

Lamar is ass, the cousin cheese is hilarious. Ace is actually more blind and bias to lamar then aches is to calling shottzy a superstar.

[@zaineskinner8172]

So I have a chiweenie I've had for about three years now and his name is ace and I just realized ace the stockman's name has the same name as my dog 😂 I'm usually stoned to help with my anxiety/panic disorder I guess that explains it 😅 I got the best dog in my lap right now listening to the best podcast and I think I might just have it all. seriously there's no place I'd rather be✌️

[@jgould30]

3:17:00 I'll keep saying it, NYSL should have beat Optic at the major. NYSL threw the match. Don't be shocked if NYSL beats Optic and wins a major. People really talking down on them and I really think it's a dumb idea. Also, Faze and Optic have similar schedules. They both play 2 Top 4 teams. It's just that Faze just played a top 4 team and WON while Optic still has to play both their top 4 teams later and just lost to a bottom team.

[@rudydoesntmiss6146]

ATL beat all the other top teams then didn’t even make gf M3…and I agree that NY COULD win if Kis picks it up imo. They’re a T4/reigning champs for a reason…Paco is the best player in the CDL right above Scrap cuz of his entry smg role imo. Either scrap or Paco SHOULD win MVP…if they don’t it’s highway robbery imo and I’m an OpTic fan but a huge Paco fan since Clay brought him in on VG

[@LobsterMoney]

Should've would've

[@LiveLuckyGaming]

Nah Vegas knows they had a ping advantage lmao what a bunch of clowns

[@standige8532]

wheres your proof lil bro ?

[@SoloQueOnly]

Vegas has 2 players that live on the east coast lmaooo and we playing on a virgina sever and btw saying optic is pinging the same as them on east coast server there gonna be 60+ ping and the weather was really bad as well could have been higher ping

[@standige8532]

what 😂?

[@Papi.porter]

Ace gotta stop defending accuracy sm I get they cousins but he just be yapping

[@BreakingPointGG]

You wouldn't defend your cousin?

Aura is scump and it’s not even close, who’s the player who all time in cod when you get in a 1v1 with you go ahh shit and get nervous. It’s scump in mw3-IW, 6 years as the best sub in the game who absolutely nobody wanted to be in a 1v1 with

Jordan won everytime he got to the finals lebron has won about 50 percent of the time . I would say it’s harder to win in the nba today than it was back then . With that being said who is better between the 2 . I got lebron . Was complexity playing any one as good as mw2-nysl? Or vanguard-LA? Or even Cold War ultra ?

[@mrbrunchies3048]

The NBA choice is a terrible comparison, and let's not act like the newer COD's require more strategy. If you can't understand why Complexity was the most dominant, then you just weren't there to truly encapsulate that watching them was unrivaled. Still respect your opinion, but this wasn't the way to compare, that's for sure.

[@blakeaustin6323]

@@mrbrunchies3048 I understand that they are more dominant for the simple fact they won against there opponents more often than not but my point is that the next best team wouldn’t be top 4 in todays league.

Scrap wasnt making excuses, he was just saying its funny that AG loves saying people are sounding when he loves playing off his headset. Nothing wrong with it, but its funny to use what you do yourself as an insult. Also this community is braindead and doesnt understand the difference between cranking your headset and using EQ so they think Scrap was making an accusation he wasnt.

[@PhoenixRios]

love the show, but no more 5min+ segments of grown men talking about "aura"

Finish the entire OpTic segment :) the boys make it clear fans shouldn't be worried about an online loss

[@CynNdr]

@@BreakingPointGG I listened to the entire 3 hours, trust me. You guys did say that. But in general, the complacency talk is insane. Just because optic lost, it just comes out. Such a default thing to say. (As Ace would like to say) “mozzarella cheesing” for sure.

[@gavinwinchell6827]

I been saying this from last year Boston needs to fire all the coaches. From the Mw2 season to now they do to many roster changes. The goes to show that they do not know how to coach a team. Rather then coaching the player, they prefer to cut/bench players that struggle rather then coaching that player to be better.

Say what you want but as a game to create highlights, show skill, etc Halo is still better. I get people didn't like Infinite and 343 stinks at game releases and support. But just go watch someone like Shotzzy play Halo vs CoD. The stuff you can do in Halo is just way cooler looking. Way flashier. More skilled. CoD might have more following today but the games are objectively awful to watch and extremely boring gameplay.

[@thegoat4617]

This because halo has more gimmicky stuff.

[@jgould30]

@@thegoat4617 call it gimmicky, but it takes skill to utilize it and not everyone can. Something like the Repulsor creates a skill gap.
