OpTic Gaming - COD Champs 2017 - Final Press Conference (FULL)

Scump, Formal, Karma, and Crimsix give their final thoughts after winning the 2017 Call of Duty championship.

[@dhwajsaxena5873]

All their 7 rings are against NV in champs final

[@DarthVader-cl6vs]

dhwaj saxena Yup. Fun fact this is the second time in champs finals that NV won in winners finals and lost the event.

[@michaelweston8304]

Kaleb DeGroot lol yeah fariko in bo2

[@bbzdyclipse325]

Micheal Weston is fariko even a thing anymore?

[@michaelweston8304]

BBZ Dyclipse No i don't think they are

[@DarthVader-cl6vs]

BBZ Dyclipse No.

[@RolloC84]

I don't understand why this wasn't broadcast. I seriously haven't been feeling like there was any closure to this event until this vid. Overtime was garbage and I hope they never do that again.

[@gengar_nc7808]

Rollo C right censor made it all about his career and future lol

[@SensitiveHomie310]

I watched the entire overtime after show thinking that the analyst desk was gonna do final thoughts to close the event. Left an awful taste in my mouth.

[@tonycharles9027]

Mr Ladz I feel so bad for you

[@mwm433]

i love karma hes always so composed and calm and answers so genuinely. Karma is the ultimate goat of cod and reason i love this roster

[@chriswallace950]

I think I got cut by Formal's jawline.

[@TheGuitarifier]

That jaw aint so square these days... a lil on the rounder side

[@jaeswag4921]

Brendan McDonald LMAO 😂

[@kevinclark3591]

[@Avocado-gr5us]

i really liked the ghost cod champs because of the glass window rooms they played in

[@clifflee54]

Christian Tafoya ikr they need to bring those back

[@plahdo9291]

I agree, I'm surprised they didn't make that a regular thing at events.

[@afersity3x861]

This is depressing to watch now knowing what happened in WW2

[@doublejump6540]

how do you feel now in 2022?

[@thomasfox7468]

Karma is by far my favorite player! These newer kids to cod dont know how good that dude is on boots on the ground

[@gengar_nc7808]

This team is better than the col team because back than they only had like 2 or 3 good teams and now they have LG, Faze, EU, Splyce, OG, NV, rise

[@timon9306]

Robert Hernandez Just stop.

[@MrKfloz]

Ikuzo stop what? It's the truth

[@DarthVader-cl6vs]

Ikuzo You want him to stop telling the truth?

[@THEKNIGHT108]

Ikuzo if you think coL was a better team you must think Teep and Aches are better cod players than scump and formal... and that makes no sense.

[@dogeplays4341]

Bruh faze is trash

[@demarcusmoore1882]

Karma at 11:40- "We have two rings, they finally have one". Bro, you have 3. Lol

[@tonycharles9027]

Demarcus Moore that's how cool he is

[@francosalinas2558]

Demarcus Moore maybe he meant that him and crim have 2 together and formal have 1 all together

[@yaboy1340]

My man won so many rings he lost count

[@PablohGee]

lowkey going to miss formal with that nv4

[@hamzahwumar298]

same, i guess were going back to semi automatic ARs , i really like the nv4

[@yungprod0343]

Rizzer Edits you ever heard of a Thompson or a bar

[@hamzahwumar298]

didnt really look at the weapons for ww2 and im assuming its gonna be a 3 burst weapon, not really sure

[@kyleking6379]

Formal with a burst weapon you could say is maybe better or just as good. I mean his m8 shot in bo3 was good.

[@PablohGee]

Elite King it really was

[@youngin3oh6]

They are the greatest team and not just because it's optic gaming, these are by far the best 4 pro players ever in COD, scump is my favorite player he is the reason I watch pro COD, formal is fun to watch and a good player who cares about the team and a key player, crimsix and karma played and won a championship together and know how to play, these 4 are professional call of duty

[@AsHDro1d]

I'm really glad they did this press conference, it's really nice to see these four players and the team I've grown to love so happy. So proud #Greenwall

[@JR-kv6ez]

These guys are going to be scary now that they found their groove as a squad and have solidified their confidence in each other.

[@brianflanigan5836]

I agree. But i still think there will be ups and downs.

[@michaelweston8304]

Brian Flanigan yeah there always is

[@YOSOYELDURO23]

Great press conference overall. This should've been aired right after instead of that terrible after game show or whatever you call it. Great job

[@ohhdizzehh4776]

Say what you want about Formal, he has a genuine love for the fans and you can see it

[@papabless561]

Ohh Dizzehh I fucking love Mathias. Best IW player.

[@terror4252]

this team actually gives me chills man

[@MissMystique187]

Thank you for uploading to KZbin

[@Sn3akyJ3sus]

np :)

[@jeffreycarr3528]

These guys amazing. Doesn't matter who is on or off. They pick up and watch out for each other. That's true team worker. Green Wall all day every Day. This is the most Amazing Optic team EVER!! NADESHOT, love ya. But this is an amazing team. SCUMPI CONGRATULATIONS!! FORMAL, CRIMSIX, AND KARMA!! UNBELIEVABLE!!

[@HisTuness]

What Karma is 100% true about solidifying themselves as the greatest in CoD if they win Champs in boots on the ground. Jetpacks weren't really Karmas best games and i'd even go far as to say it wasn't Crimsix's either. From watching competitive strictly from AW to IW id say Karma was about 70% of his true potential and Crimsix 80%. Scump is just so talented so he's always going to be killing everyone, jetpacks allowed other players to close the gap on him slaying wise. Formal is the greatest FPS player of all time so hell be fine with boots. Karma and Crimsix, well they've won the big dance already together in Ghosts and Karma on Bo2 as well so ultimately they'll be even better players. In conclusion its safe to say this team will only get better and better.. and thats pretty scary to think about. The CoL dynasty was so great because no team had done what they achieved during the BO2 year and they didn't even win Champs, only KARMA managed it before CoL was formed, if OG can replicate that and win the big dance, there will be no more debates about who's the greatest.

[@adriandelgado1121]

Lxnda that was really well said bro

[@SensitiveHomie310]

Well said. This team is gonna be scary when botg comes back.

[@scvboy1]

LikeMike294 Seriously they have like 4 of the top 5 BOTG players

[@tonycharles9027]

Lxnda all four of them are scary on boots on the ground. Let's hope they go back to their old form

[@mrsneakers8772]

roster mania will be interesting, it almost feels like og is the gs warriors and the rest are trying to build a squad to topple them. i want to say envy stay together but i'm just not sure? i'm not sure what slasher is going to be like, but the other three should be gtg. they have great chemistry at this point too would be a shame to break up now. eg have two nice pieces already in nameless and parasite. i think faze needs a shakeup, it's funny because i thought zooma in iw was a little off, but i would be inclined to keep him. attach is a no brainer. oh also lg's roster as is looks quite nice, nato will shred. what really interests me is how guys like gunless are going to perform

[@imthebest625]

Watching this in 2022 and love how all this talk about world war ruined there friendships for a time lol big optic fan though

[@catalinionescu8222]

Thanks for uploading this, don't understand why I had to watch Censor and that awkward girl on MLG channel instead of THIS!, Thanks again.

[@tonycharles9027]

Catalin Ionescu I m gonna shoot up the place if I ever see that shit again

[@Giveonlive]

Formal is so humble.. love that man ❤️

[@PeidoHumano]

Taking into account all the tournaments Optic attended this year, they have won approximately 260K each... just from tournaments!! Insane!

[@robertoblandon5979]

Even if OG doesn't win next year there is np dough in my mind they are the best team ever

[@dyanriaz6127]

Roberto Blandon no problem dough

[@muzzyn1363]

Dyan Riaz no problem doge

[@mytopicsopinions2840]

We need the old squad back

[@fernandoulises8580]

Been to three events and they've placed 7th in all three. The last two champs and this years Anaheim. I've never seen them win in person. Hopefully champs will be in Cali again next year.

[@jlockz7061]

Fernando Ulises Yeah please just stay home when they play. Dont even watc them online, just wait till the events over then watch the replays lol Just kidding bro XD

[@danishperera2369]

Dude I think you're the key to victory

[@danishperera2369]

Just don't go to the major tournaments

[@fernandoulises8580]

TheOriginalDante MA-Kaus That's what I was thinking too man. Lol

[@ranvanaraignien398]

[@woundedh1ppo]

Can’t believe formal just retired :(

[@SensitiveHomie310]

It's scary to think that Karma and crim are only gonna get better on botg. Black ops 2 karma is comming back.

[@itzphobia9973]

Mr Ladz BO2 Karma shot bodies for a minute and still won games. GOAT

[@SensitiveHomie310]

Lmao he was dominant

[@MuhCarthy]

This comment didn’t age well....

[@voidx6981]

Ayzrael yeah you guys jinxed it rip sledgehammer made a shitty cod

[@juliobeltran510]

I really hope they all get active and look out for their health. It'll help tremendously with their competitive lives.

[@whitegenome22]

When crim talks about last years champs and thinking that his team was probably splitting after that loss, gives me chills mannnn.

[@papabless561]

whitegenome22 I wonder how close they were to splitting up.

[@btown0]

They said that they would be scary on Ww2 and be better than before but turns out the roster change happened. Really sad. This team will be the best in CoD history no matter what.

[@Sn3akyJ3sus]

Scump was on the west coast so had bad connection for online practice. Karma didn't like the game. Formal didn't get along with the team. Crimsix kept switching roles to try to make it work. The thing that kept optic together was winning. The story of this team is 4 incredibly talented players that couldn't translate their collective success to a slower and more strategic boots on the ground cod.

[@btown0]

Sn3akyJ3sus yeah. I wish somehow they would’ve fixed it. Like I said this roster will be the best ever in CoD history no matter what. It’s just sad to see it go after what they said in this interview. But the new roster looks sick already.

[@yuriii36]

Dude formal looked good when he was skinny 💯 I’m worried about his health now

[@ItzClobert]

With WW2 being BOTG, Karma about to have the Infinity Gauntlet of CoD rings.

[@tranquililic]

That didn’t age well

[@constantelev8tion1]

Formal looks like a young Jack Black.

[@beatrizaguilar6755]

Scumpy's mom created such a godly legend.

[@calebwalker6345]

They appreciate the press more than lebron and all nba players

[@whydouneedakno]

The NBA is rigged and scripted, i would get bored of answering the same question over and over and over again,...

You cannot compare press conferences in Cod and the NBA, 2 COMPLETELY different environments.

[@dvrocks23]

Thankyou so much bro

[@dezzo2832]

I miss this team :/

[@masterwankenobi1113]

Karmas a fcking gee wearing his 3 rings at the same damn time ftw !

[@dapstur880]

Just thinking about it crims first big cod game was black ops 2. scumps bo1 karma bo2. formal is just god. So all that for boots on the ground. btw if you guys didn't know scumps been the king since bo1 :)

[@2pak100]

cant wait for boots, all this talks about long barel, extended clips and mad accuracy, 10x. ill c yall there

[@kndli67]

Formal reminds me of Han from fast and furious Tokyo drift

[@blayz6387]

Watching this after Crim and Clay just joined the 3 ring club

[@snowee5772]

Some of these questions tho, making them repeat themselves, cliche af.

[@AnDre-yu4po]

It's like every question asked again for every damn microphone.. they should've just put 5 in front of their faces and ask the questions one time, jesus xD

[@kevingenther]

SnowE E each reporter got 3 minute segments with them so they couldn't use footage from previous segments. That's why they repeated questions.

[@blakeaion]

"Games gonna be amazing"

[@jordanquirion8457]

I'd like to know what they did to completely fix their Breakout Hardpoint. They could barely get 100 points on that map, then after Anaheim all of a sudden they were 100 point clubbing everyone lol.

[@Sn3akyJ3sus]

I think they actually started rotating as a team on time. Before they were just relying on winning gun fights late in rotation and that map has too many good head glitches and spots for the team that rotates first.

[@NnbsAcruz]

Who is watching this the day before vision😭😭

[@StewysGameplay]

'I wasn't really impressed with Hector' Damn lol

[@Gillmastiff]

crim needs to get himself some specs

[@alexlromero05]

cod champs 2018 @ Cowboys Stadium

[@hamzahwumar298]

this was one hell of a cod in my opinion, i loved the game alot and its sad to see that this is gonna be the last cod to have uplink,this year was amazing and i cant wait for ww2.

[@Minibudgreen]

[@shivambhadresa1693]

[@greerzyxxi5590]

Dude, I fucking want you guys to win champs next year. I was there for all of CoL wins, and I hated that team. Teepee annoyed me so fucking much and same goes to that scrawny cocky little runt. Karma and crim were the only two I liked. Now, Formal who I always admired, especially for his SND sniping ability on boots, and scump, the best slayer of all time teamed up with those two is so fucking hype. Love this team.

[@mwm433]

i feel like eunited vs optic would have been an amazing grand final or LG vs Optic

[@isaacshepard1474]

OG 3-0 eU, and they also 3-0 LG

[@mwm433]

Isaac Shepard when did optic play eunited? Did I miss that game?

[@isaacshepard1474]

[@MorbidThrasher666]

This is basically the dream team. I cant wait till ww2 is out and they start playing,so they can prove it.

[@iiLamz]

Why didn't they just give them four fuckin mics

[@imyahuckleberry9340]

Everybody asking questions were from different networks and the mic they passed around belonged to the network asking that question. That's why they have 20-30 mics on a podium when you see someone giving a speech or doing a press conference on tv. Each network has to use their own mic so they get better sound quality and so they don't have to get the audio from someone else. They just passed them around here instead of making a huge mic bouquet and putting it on the table

[@iiLamz]

Brian Vanover I know but 4 mics would have broke the awkwardness of them not wanting the mic..less awkward in kap and apathys interview

[@chris81492]

This is what I hate about COD esports. People are always asking the most obvious questions that they know the answer too. They also ask questions that have been answered so many times and just re-word them. Ask some new interesting questions, please.

[@iMrHeadSet]

Where did they show this on?

[@likelegend7234]

[@user-uc7ui8lx9f]

[@ericramirez4448]

Scump lookin like shaggy from Scooby doo

[@LordQuode]

Notice that after announcing the move to Dallas OpTic wins champs..... Everything's bigger and better in Texas.

[@natea3799]

Quode Especially the crimes.

[@overpricedtoyota]

This is like comparing a car tire to ketchup

[@overpricedtoyota]

Quode exactly it doesn't make sense does it^

[@nowaydudewtf]

Karma and Holly's family is in Chicago, Crim moved out a while ago for Dana's school/career (though idk if they're together anymore), Scump loves LA, and Formal quit living in the house after like a week. I doubt any of them move to Texas.

[@LordQuode]

If a car tire is what keeps busting the ketchup pack open, then the lack of tire being there is pretty comparable to the tire not being there. Please come up with real analogies next time lol.

[@lomin7612]

bruh they just won the world champs... why are they having such a sad press conference, everyone should be hyped lol

[@user-my9lh7ow4m]

It’s sad listening to them talk about ww2 and how much hope they had. Now formal and karma are not even on optic competitive team.

[@dehydratedwat3r]

[@hashemhamidaddin5887]

damn there coming to dallas, im in houston

[@Josh_17]

Players in the scene will be building a roster to take down OG next game, everyone knows they're going to be a force. Pick any 4 players in the scene to take down OG and I don't think it would happen. You've got 4 winners in BOTG, not just 4 winners, 2 of the best and 2 that have been considered the best at some point in their career. Calling it now that OG will only lose 1 event next year out of all them.

[@SkyFelixMusic]

Joshy Belfast They tried that with eU with adding Clayster. They're not only the best 4 individual COD players, but they're closer than most other teams. They play for eachother.

[@DinoQuixote17]

Joshy Belfast If Haggy isn't a dick, I think he can team with Clay and find 2 others to put in some work

[@tonycharles9027]

RayQuan Wannamaker Gunless and Zooma are gonna be a duo stronger then scump and formal I m obviously joking

[@itzphobia9973]

I think Clay, Parasite, Slasher, and Apathy would take OG down.
