And this new 6 star is fucking horrendous so yh its chalked in general for that map going forward 😂

Yeah wouldn’t be surprised if they vote to take it out. And the bit about shotzzy is so damn true at the beginning of that map he was shitting on everyone underwater so over the course of like 2 weeks players started to swim up to bring the main gun out and that still didn’t help. 😂 the dude mastered so quick and so efficiently the shooting the pistol under water.

Looks like you don’t know what hot take means

[@Rollerbear712]

@qasimhussain1937 He should've been moving towards bomb when Cell was about to chall it and right after he took damage. Dashy wouldve snaked tf out of the bomb crates so thats pretty hindsight tbf tho. Once he knew he wasn't near the site for the trade, he could've insta rat back to chall the site from A lane to hop to a ninja defuse or to go through cafe to clear out paddio at least (where he wouldve had the same 1v1 there but Bruce wouldn't have been in cover instantly) One thing I thought was stupid out of Draz was when he pushed Brandon and jump challed him to the left which exposed more of his body for Bruce to shoot and probably fucked with his own aim because Brandon was behind cover on the right. I would've slid or dolphin dived to the left.

I’m not just glad to see them win because we haven’t won in a long time! but also remembering Seth tear up in his retirement video saying I’m stepping down so brandon can step up and take the headspot and it just is nice to see Seth being validated in his stepping down. Also I tend to believe that no real optic fan is wanting kenny gone especially since he has literally brought us so much good base stuff in and out of the game, especially the accountability factor and being a real IGL and the glue that we needed… his benefit to the team is unquantifiable because of how much positive things he brought with him and got the rest of the team to buy in with him.

After seeing and hearing them click with the momentum on Champ Sunday, I’m curious to see if that momentum, those comms, and everyone being on that same page continues. Because from what we just saw yesterday, if it does.. these last two tournaments are a 2 team contest between Faze and OpTic, and if that sticks, we could potentially see a new OpTic dynasty stretching into the next two Treyarch games as well.

[@Rollerbear712]

Toronto knocked Faze to losers tf ym Wouldn't mind another Optic dynasty but the other teams are stacked. Like OG was a godsquad compared to Faze Envy EUnited during that era. This team would've been CW Faze on Vanguard tho. NY and Toronto has Hydra and Scrap but they need to have dedicated players like Kis/Priestahh Hicksy/Insight for the team to be lights out and Envoy and Sib are struggling to fill those shoes which is also affecting Kis and Insight. Shotzzy and Kenny can do dirty work and have comms. Even Brandon can soak hill and drop 30 bombs. Not a godsquad but a superteam that has incredible cohesion. Night and day difference between CW and now. Draz is a solid igl for Faze but never really was that MVP caliber player and doesn't have the same experience as a leader like Ken. Optic have found their footing during this event and the new mapset doesn't give Simp an insane edge over other main subs with the meta going back to the classic 2 subs 1 flex 1 AR where it was 1 sub 1 flex 2 ARs before. Idk how Faze can improve to get to Optic's level tbh, because Pred and Shotzzy are generally on par with Abe and Simp, whereas Ken's ceiling is far superior to Draz's especially with a sub on 6 star Vista Rio and there aren't too many power positions Cell can abuse due to the pace of these maps despite him finally being a main

[@Jamoc_NZ]

What's really disappointing is after such a great event the next Major, whoever wins there will be an * next to it because it's not a proper Major with a crowd and then there's more online qualifiers and so again it will be difficult to get a sense of where the top 4 stand potentially prior to Champs.

The narrative that “new fans” won’t watch or want to continue watching/supporting the league when you got days when none of the top 4 play is crazy! Let’s just be frank and it’s how it’s been for years (really since optic got giant) when optic plays on a Sunday or is in a grand final the numbers will spike like crazy and will always be the case and those fans who only watch on those situations are simply watching for their favorite team (OpTic) to win that tournament. Rather all the rest of the matches/games are good or not that’s just how it is… one of the many reasons why people love to hate on OpTic. 😂
