Optic Gaming God Squad is Official | HCS Report 1.10.25

[@justinkidder6872]

Formal single handily made a bunch of new Faze and SSG fans.

[@ElectrumSZN]

Good, Hecz loves OpTic and all the fans, but he is getting tired of keeping controller esports alive. Lets be real, Faze and 100Ts have fans in CoD, and SSG and Faze have fans in Halo, but OpTic is still the front runner in both esports. We need more orgs to keep this shit afloat.

[@capnlapz]

Facts

[@isack707]

I mean he made an Optic fan out of me.

[@TheOmegaRiddler]

Faze and Spacestation Gaming are crippled from this move, the best players from those teams on OpTic.

[@TScYtheYT]

Because he wants to win? Fuck loyalty. Before him, Trippey and Lucid didn't win a single tourney. It's a business at the end of the day

[@Drunken_Sens]

I never realised Renegade never won an MVP when you mentioned it Tony, thats absolutely insane hes been at least top 3 individual player since the game came out

[@anthonypaulo2264]

The CDL equivalent. Would be Shotzzy. Hydra. Scrappy. Dashy. **insane**

[@TheOmegaRiddler]

As long as Dashy stays out of the Heczquarters.

[@markpeckii7493]

or simp instead of scrap

[@EtNORMZ]

I thought Lucid had all the power within Optic, but I guess Formal was the Boss.

[@stephenshigetani5046]

That screenshot makes it look like Formal has a top hat on 🎩

[@hadoct1315]

I’m excited to get the season going! This new squad is gonna be sick! Can’t wait to see if they are as dominant as everyone thinks they will be

[@Torabisu87]

This season is going to be exciting!

[@pennze]

OPTIC COD FAN SINCE 2013... NEVER WATCHED A SEASON OF HALO IN MY LIFE BUT I WILL NOW... TIME TO LEARN HALO

[@TacticalxRecon]

I think they will just win everything man...I dont think the SSG with lucid will even come close.

[@ElectrumSZN]

It won't go well, Lucid is good, and Lucid is smart. But he will clash with other strong minded players that don't agree with his approach to the game because his ego doesn't allow him to think others might be right. The reality of the situation was the OpTic team before adding formal was good, but they weren't good enough and that wasn't on Ola, he may have been the player replaced, but the problem was masked by Formals in game comms and demeanor, he brought more than a simple 1 for 1 replacement. Lucid hadn't won a single LAN tournament until Formal joined the squad, people just gotta accept it.

[@RAHHicecream]

I’m rooting for lucids team and trippy team.

[@MillionaireHoyOriginal]

Rooting for all the boys tbh, which includes APG. Optic is still my team, but I can't wait to see how Lucid lands and Trippy's team looks solid.

[@ohyeah1915]

I wanna see formal get second every tournament this year

[@vadgun]

I undestand Formal, he is tired of being 2nd

[@mike1mike135]

“If it wasn’t this exact squad I wouldn’t compete.” What a baby 🙄🙄🙄

[@NarrowRoad0807]

Great team but I’ll root against them when they play SSG or Shopify.

[@joebolligiii]

Word bro

[@TTyger]

God squads don’t necessarily work, because they can lack objective play, but with legend on this squad I don’t think that will be an issue.

[@mrjohnsierra117]

1:13 baffles me how Renegade didn’t get MVP in year 2 …Stellur popped off at SLC, but John was dominating all season long, including when it mattered most (worlds)

[@jimmyispromo]

Cool

[@solobusiness4320]

I wanna get on formal for not playing halo but this dude has played every event in halo infinite. When it’s time to grind, he’ll grind.

[@SHONSL]

True. He has won rings in multiple FPS games, so we shouldn't be surprised to see him grinding in different games.

[@GamingMediocrity]

So hype. Rule change 5v5 instead though so Tommy gets on Optic too lol

[@ElectrumSZN]

We don't need him, make it 5v5 and I'd rather have SB or Frosty

[@Sirvix_Assassin_1991]

Great video, Tony!

[@richieriveraalonso690]

I think the SSG roaster team is more deadly. You count up all the rings of the new Optic and the new SSG and all the players in SSG have more rings than optic.

[@joebolligiii]

Just not a Bound fan… Shopify is my squad

[@30seconds2impact]

Can’t stand lucid anymore so this is an optic I can root for. So excited

[@lildonnie1232]

What team did lucid go too?

[@itsBritss]

SSG with Snakebite (rumored)

[@aaronmcgonnigal4378]

New SSG Stellur Eco Lucid Snakebite

[@CastisV]

I hope they don't win a major this year...always rooting for the underdogs instead of dream teams.

[@sethfearnow3821]

This team will sweep lan

[@CarnageO31]

I honestly would die of laughter if they get 2nd in the first tournament.

[@derekferrin5785]

They will

[@richieriveraalonso690]

they are. SSG roaster has more rings than Optic

[@Spooshball]

This team will win worlds

[@CombatMedic1O]

So who TF is gonna be the IGL? Formal?

[@jjOHNji]

Yes, formal is the igl of this team and the leader.

[@ElectrumSZN]

Yes 1000% he can and will do it.

[@RAHHicecream]

Why are they considered a ‘god squad”? They all are world champions? If that’s the case, SSG is a god squad too! (Lucid stellur eco snakebite)

[@danieldickerson4838]

Yes lol. Formal is literally a world champion in multiple FPS titles, Renegade has 3 world championship rings, and Bound and Legend have one each. This is a ridiculous squad.

[@its-andrew-y]

it looks like formy is wearing a top hat 🎩

[@katid571]

Formal went 2-9 in grand finals but he blames his teammates for losing

[@jjOHNji]

I would too if you finish 2nd at every event.

[@TScYtheYT]

He's taken the blame for that loss multiple times. Lucid however never took the blame once for dropping a .7 in the grand finals of Halo Champs. Pathetic😭

[@forbeeyang]

I hope Optic loses. Formal is a whiny baby. He goes out, cries and complains unless he gets the best players on his team. That's what babies do.

[@MichaelArmendariz-zb9nw]

It’s annoying how formal getting whatever he wants and leaves lucid in the dust When we all know Lucid is the face of halo ….

[@SHONSL]

What's annoying his how Lucid complains towards his teammates. He's not the face of halo -- those are glazing words -- but maybe for the "HaloHQ" youtube account lol. Lucid is good in the game (hard skills) but can work on improving his team leadership (soft skills).

[@jjOHNji]

Formal is the face of optic halo. There is a difference. that's why formal gets what he wants.

[@ElectrumSZN]

Lucid isn't bringing in the fans, Lucid also isn't a great team leader, if he was he would have won tournaments for optic/nv before Formal joined the squad. He gets way too much glaze, he is mechanically skilled, but lacks what it takes to be a true champion without the literal perfect pieces around him.

[@SHONSL]

@@ElectrumSZN Lucid does bring in fans. But I agree with you; he does get too much glaze, and you're 100% right on his lack in leadership -- "he would have won before Formal joined"!

[@TScYtheYT]

He won 20+ championships and 2 rings for the org, which warrants him the keys. FormaL carries most of the viewership. When majority of people think of Halo, they think of FormaL

[@marknunya3107]

First mfers and idk why im even here

[@KSxPharaoh]

This isn't a god squad imo because Formal isn't a top player. He has had horrible, embarrassing lows all throughout last season and the season before that. Very inconsistent and hit or miss, usually missing.

[@derekferrin5785]

This is going to fail because of formal lol

[@KILLSHOTSolo]

This team is corny imo. Top 4 maybe even top 5 teams to even dismantle instead of just going back into the lab, iron out weakness and comeback and violate is just corny. It makes sense for any team under those standings to do that. But to take all the best players in put them on one team wheres the challenge in that. Was an optic fan until this weak ass move. This HCS season about to be mad wack.

[@ElectrumSZN]

bye bye 👋👋 you'll walk out the door and 10 will walk in right after to replace you, we don't care. If other teams can't compete they should have done a better job securing a roster.

[@KILLSHOTSolo]

@ElectrumSZN and that's corny. Optic are former world champs and top 2 team for 2 seasons, literally no need to change instead keep improving. But instead they want to take 75% of the current world champs, and 25% of the former world champs to create a team that no one can beat for what. I rather see bound vs renegade than have the 2 best movement guys in the game. I rather see koby vs Jordan than both of them be on the same team. All of this is corny. Can't convince me otherwise.
