The vibe on this ep is really cool like two pairs of best friends sitting down and having a double date lmao

You should bring back "OpTic Mean Tweets" that shit would smack and be hilarious

[@vibes24osrs]

zinni too soy

[@Dgusting]

Yeah and it would help the bad trolls like the ones they're talking about. Show them they don't give AF about their comments lol

[@MiningMareep]

​@@Dgusting nah these trolly as mfs would just hate more to try and get on the pod fr 😂😂😂

[@PauloGLA]

Hitch wearing a Celtic top and didn’t know what the Scotland flag was in the Mailbox video is insane 😂😂

[@rodrigoiniguez2984]

Haha

[@colepfeiffer9622]

The guy's a poesuer who pretends to be a football ⚽ fan

[@kieranwatt1937]

he doesn't know it's a scottish team because the fans claim they're Irish. even tho the club is based and operates in the UK/scotland and pays British taxes.

[@PauloGLA]

@@kieranwatt1937 not the time or the place for your football political opinions fella

[@kencharsley7458]

Isn’t Celtics Irish not Scottish ???

[@JB-eq1vu]

What Zinni is saying at 58:00 is how its like for me watching cod now, Scump and Zinni were two that I cheered on the most because ive been watching them so long and basically all other OG's retired, at least we've still got Clay to cheer for lmao

[@tyriffic96]

Zin just know 65k people watched this so far and i havent seen a negative comment, gotta block out them random haters in chat and laugh it off and keep moving. Love the content and watch parties from you and Seth, keep it up

[@alexflorio7797]

they start talking about optic at 29:40

[@mrmanb11]

MVP comment 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@detmostwant]

Nick is the most relatable person in Optic

[@Justb99xbox]

For real lol

[@Hunter78818]

Sometimes feels like the only relatable one.

[@Smoothies_mT]

For sure, Zinni is pretty relatable too though.

[@AKATrippyAF]

someone tell Zinni we love him. LMAOOOOO

[@ltcavelier5]

I love Zinni being around more and its always tough seeing some of the hate he gets. He doesn’t deserve it at all. He was a great addition to Optic and the watch parties.

[@itsnotjayboi]

Straight jealousy and a bunch of people who have no idea what they're talking about it's actually corny

[@Caden-Ericzon]

Zins great. Him and Seth are just having fun and we get to as well

[@Mokotarish]

Yea it’s so strange honestly, dunno where all the hate came from. I see a lot of the hate saying he ditched zoomaa but that’s literally not the case at all

[@Caden-Ericzon]

@@Mokotarish I agree. He was always going to OpTic

[@boldrkevin]

All the new gen z’s who forgot/never knew he was on OpTic before. The man’s a content machine, let him be lol

[@ChrisWilliams-pk4xd]

Talking about social anxiety hits me right in the feels. I am 38 and worked a lot in hospitality where you have to be outgoing. But put me outside of work and I am a real introvert.

[@JadenGolden]

THIS GROUP NEEDS TO BE ON THIS PODCAST MORE!!

[@jasonodom9277]

Add Formal and this is the group

[@cheesebox4316]

Get Linni out of here

[@johnveeskys]

I met Hitch at the LA founders event for Deadrop. He was super chill, we talked about the flycast and I was able to express how much I loved the podcast. Cool guy.

[@matthewwillmeng2446]

All rookies made it to Sunday, they are all champs. From beans to the ultra boys. What a great tournament and everything you could ask for at an OpTic major.

[@HowParker]

Facts!

[@itsnotjayboi]

You gotta think that the promotional graphic for the major(the throne with the crown on it) really held up. The next generation is pulling tf up

[@yoselinmontalvo7819]

It’s great because you can tell Seth genuinely cares about comments bothering Zinni but he doesn’t really go through that so his form of comforting is “just ignore it” which to some might seem dismissing, but that’s Seth’s way of expressing

[@cheesebox4316]

Linni is a coat tail rider. Remember when Linni was all over Tommy? Dude is a loser

[@pc21298]

Love all of the podcasts on this channel, super relatable and easy listens no matter who's on. Much love.

[@singletonjw11]

When Maniac does hitches laugh all I can think about is his "haahahahhahaa look mom I'm subbing" 😂😂😂

[@shuggasuarez2843]

This core 4 is AMAZING. So well balance and bounce off each other well! Gotta to love it

[@inicity5009]

these podcast comps are the best, shoutout maniac

[@jman8821]

This is one of the best pods so far love the content

[@ChadtheGamer2000]

The reason football is so good is because each goal is important. It’s not like basketball or American football where they score loads of goals because then there’s not as much weight or importance behind the goals. A goal in football could literally be a game winner, so the anticipation waiting for the goals and seeing the talent of the players makes it incredible to watch

[@FlameARS]

From barely making winners bracket, to being down 100 points to London down 2-1, to 100 point clubbing Seattle and FaZe, to making the GRAND FINAL the past few weeks were NUTS. Unreal first major experience for me. Can't wait for the next one!

[@sluggerboi2463]

Flycast x Scump & Zin -- loving this

[@robbie4787]

Hitch rocking the celtic Jersey my man ❤

[@DillonPetry]

We are now getting the best of the Optic Envy merger. I am confident in the content and the teams now.

[@itsnotjayboi]

Same and shame on the people who were actually roasting tf outta the squad when all they had to do is work through the kinks as a team and build some chemistry. Literally just give this team time they're fucking talented. Can't wait for the next major. (Fuck the qualifiers online sucks)

[@boldrkevin]

@@itsnotjayboi literally this, people expected the perfect formula immediately. Any team sport teams need time to gel and understand each others game better. Applies to pretty well all sports

[@thypanzer]

Hearing them talk about the OpTic competitive teams makes me miss OpTic Val🤧

Very vibey podcast. Love this squad doing the show.

HITCH WITH THE HOOPS ON OMGGGGGG, been a celtic fan all 21 years of my life, optic fan for 10 plus years!!

The way Zinni broke down the difference between LAN and Online matches was perfect. Well said young man.

[@Dszease]

Young man lmfao

[@DennisforTruth]

Hitch Rocking a Celtic '08-'09 jersey ❤‍🔥 I love Hitch

[@Legion-qd2wg]

Love the teaching aspect scump and co bring to the watch party. It's very insightful.

[@matrixh5955]

I love when you guys teach us about the game. I watch your stream so I can learn. The casters just talk about what’s going on in game… I can see what’s happening I’ve watched for 10 years. You guys talk about the details.

[@Aquajoda]

Bro I need a maniac and Zin podcast. Feel like they'd have a good conversation

[@tinomurillo7360]

Love the football/soccer talk! nice to see my favorite organization talk my favorite sport!

[@jamesdennett196]

Really respect the honesty and sensitivity on display here, guys. Well done.

[@bryanguevara7985]

Imagine making it rain at the strip club and you look over and scump just wildin out lol

[@ConorGrennan97]

Shoutout Zin, such a relatable guy

[@Ri_Guy]

The mix of entertainment and Scumps/Methodz knowledge is SICK

[@jarrettlopez9898]

Good shit. Baseball convo was a tough listen but I respect it lol (it'd be like us attempting to talk about high level cod). But that's what podcasts are for

[@bigcat_15]

Few things on baseball 1. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports 2. Playoff baseball is hype 3. Games are about 30 minutes longer compared to around 2006. Tough to spend 3 to 3.5 hrs 5x per week to watch games. 4.I find it hard to care about 162 game season. It's exciting at the beginning because baseball is back and then the dog days of summer hit and doesn't get exciting again until around September 5. Games are significantly more enjoyable in person opposed to watching on TV 6. Games have changed from basehits/situational hitting to hit a homerun or strikeout.

[@kezzab7961]

Hitch with a Celtic shirt on but didn't know the Scotland flag in the opening video will always be funny to me haha

[@Ciervo78]

This episode really hit hard when talking about the social anxiety. Never would of thought Zinni went through it. Here I am thinking I’m the only one of a few but you never know what people are going through. We always assume they are golden.

[@kevineller4472]

“Reading his gifted”. 😂😂😂

[@kingsrky3931]

51:05 it's funny I feel the same with these guys. the new saying with these lot is 'Flow State' 😂

[@VladislavShishkin11]

love this double date!!

[@niickyboiii]

I can promise the watch parties and Breakdown are teaching so many people

[@runninwithskiza8708]

Hitch's voice is so husky right now... lol but the best part about Hitch in this ep is that Celtic jersey. Fresh AF! Football is life, love this man and his support of sports

[@RyanPol329]

Always good to see nick man! Stay up brotha. One day at a time.

[@Allan-pp4rb]

Scump got me into the scene. I have respect for loads of players old and current but the fact Hitch is wearing a Hoops top..... Defo a life long Optic fan now. I'm obviously Scottish so to see an American wearing my teams top is crazy!!!!! Green wall!!!

1:03:31 talking MLS attendance numbers without mentioning Atlanta numbers should be criminal lmfao

I feel you guys need a UK representative in conversations sometimes 😂 there’s so many times in this podcast I could of added many new information to topics. Top pod as always ❤

[@43braden]

Nick name drops Shultz and he immediately gets traded like “no way am I playing for this dude” 😂

[@biomestry]

Idk why but this episode hit different 🙌

As someone who got front row on Sunday my buddy and I got there at 1am… and there were still 4 people in front of us

[@ronsil5582]

100% Agree with Zinny. I'm from UK and grew up playing Ice Hockey after getting hooked when I saw one live match

[@kingtaco2go]

More of this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SledheadGaming]

Baseballs a lot like watching cod when you're looking at what the catchers calling and getting in the head of a pitcher and knowing the thought process it's a lot more enjoyable, kinda like watching the mini map in cod

[@Brayzon]

Definitely agree people learn to watch mini map more over time I know I've been watching since Bo2 but now i watch a lot of the mini map for positions and rotations. I know the casters like Joey D point it out as well a lot of times

[@stambo1983]

Merk did some spawn manipulation/anchoring vids during blackops 2, which changed my whole understanding of the game.

[@Brayzon]

@@stambo1983 Yep, Old school players get no love now a days but they were skilled as well, A cracked 22 year old Merk I'm sure can slide Cancel too!

Lol… Linni was riding all over Tommy and cry about why people don’t like him cause he cries about not getting subs. Now he’s riding Seth and a loser

[@DreammakerDev]

Good podcast as always boys! Also the lack of knowledge on baseball is hilarious lol

[@Michael-qn1qg]

MLS bigger than mlb is insane lmaoooooo

[@Perellzy]

Love that you guys brought up the NHL It deserves way more traction than it already has and the skill only gets better every year Also, the NHL is on TNT now which has helped viewership even if, comparatively, it isnt as much as the other sports

[@dabbymcnasty4264]

I think people would rather watch badminton honestly…

[@Perellzy]

@@dabbymcnasty4264 man everyone got autism nowadays

[@mattbartlett5452]

Bringing attention to watching that mini map is huge for the scene in my opinion. I feel like it helps people have a broader understanding of the game. Being able to see what’s going on across the whole map instead of just whatever POV is being followed. People will finally understand that having a high K/D is not everything.

[@OrionInSpace]

Regarding your guys discussion about getting hate comment's, I am of the mind that it shouldn't get to you but I also understand what you mean. At the same time though I really do believe that social media algorithms nowadays are programed to make sure the worst of the worst comments are shown first. Sometimes you'll see a comment at the very top with no likes at all but negative as hell. Then a nicer comments is all the way down below with a bunch of likes. Idk man I just try to ignore it when it comes my way but it's whatever. You guys are all still awesome!

[@niickyboiii]

Nick had me dying this whole podcast

[@vnine542]

I didn’t doubt for one second. Come lan . When required .at their home event . Something WOULD happen. They could have won finals I’m pretty sure they crashed which is no excuse but yeah that was a great first event as a team. Was verry impressive and showed the grit potential which is what it takes on Lan especially around finals

[@Rozedog]

I’ve been following since the beginning, I’m 26, and I’m full blown addicted to golf 😂 I’ve sort of lost the gaming passion but always watched all the content. I think you boys will change that open someday, but hey I could be wrong. All love boys💚

[@nolandees2142]

Another great podcast

[@Xnrte]

hell yeah, Zinni talking about mental health. Love that.

Dude. Scump loves you

[@JShottaYT]

This event was huge for rookies

[@notscullytv]

1:08:37 they have ads lining the sides of the pitch and little pop ups through out like this replay is sponsored by so and so, they also have the tech now where it advertises different shit depending on the channels deals kinda like how cod put the qr codes in VG for viewers, but they play 45 minutes straight no ads, then a 10-20 minute break and back to 45 minutes
