THE BEST TRASH TALKER IN COD HISTORY | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 26

1000% agree that coaches standing behind and being on the comms is something we need and love

[@NoahSundayMobile]

39:00 The miscommunication happened because the rule was implemented mid series. During game 1 apparently there was a lot of body shooting from the OTHER team so in between matches within the tournaments discord channel a warning went out stating if any unsportsman like conduct occurred (Body shooting or T-bag) the team will DQ the map. Since the players were mid series they easily missed the message which cause the confusion/riot. This isnt something that has ever happened within the COD Mobile world either which is what made the seemingly made up rules even more strange.

The argument of “the talent just gets better over time” is so useless, gotta think 20-30 years down the road people are gonna say the same about LeBron’s era. We just gotta respect greatness and stop comparing eras, pointless in the grand scheme of things.

When they were talking about that pressure from playing with Crim/Clay That's how they elevate their teammates and that's why those dudes are some of the best leaders in the history of cod

[@Woods7er]

I remember playing CoD4 with MBoZe over 10 years ago. We were friends. I was always the better player yet MBoZe went on to have a gaming career while I worked minimum wage and watched his career unfold on KZbin. I think that's a perfect example of how hard work beats talent. He worked harder, had the grind, and was in the right place at the right time. Good stuff BoZe.

[@Woods7er]

Still to this day I consider myself a top talent and could probably be a pro, but I don't compete in challengers so nobody will ever know who I am, most likely. Oh well. That's life.

I agree 1000% with how your view of someone changes the instant they live with you, regardless of how close you are with them. For any youngins looking to live with their best friends in the future, think about the alternatives. I've lost a few friends because of boundaries that weren't set clearly between us. No one is perfect, and you have to realize that living with someone is totally different than just "knowing" someone.

I've been saying it for awhile. Coaches 100% should be apart of the active game in esports. In all traditional sports they are the one calling the plays and actively a part of the game in some way.

@@bookoh I agree LeBron is physically superior but as a result he has different weapons. Some of Jordan's strengths are LeBron's weaknesses and vice versa partly due to their physical difference. so saying Jordan would have 12 chips with LeBron's body is based off nothing. I could say if Allen Iverson was 6"4 he'd be the best player of all time but that means nothing because hes not 6'4. and if AI was 6'4 he'd be a completely different player with different weapons. who knows if he would be better or worse? we dont. if MJ had lebrons body he would substitute some of his skill for sheer athleticism (as lebron has done) and would be a complete diff player
