HOW FORMAL WON ANOTHER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP | INNER CIRCLE

[@Mooffins]

I always loved Lunchbox growing up, and him being OG is just such a dream come true, especially him winning the big one with us

[@MrMemesAndChill]

Yeah same! I’m so glad he’s still involved after all these years

[@BryanDeLeon-pz1ln]

This might be one of my all time favorite series from OpTic. BUT - we need another Hot Ones Episode!

[@BoscoLocoo]

the most factual fact ever recorded

[@smokebuddha4745]

A hot ones line up of episodes we all need: Hecz, Shotzzy, Trippy, and maybe Hitch if someone can host it as good as he does.

[@OpTicGaming]

Who you want on it?

[@smokebuddha4745]

@@OpTicGaming H3CZ or Shotzzy pls!!!!

[@albeeni]

@@OpTicGaming Could be anyone but Hecz would be great to talk about his crazy story and could also be relatable to those people outside of esports. Formal being the best fps player of all time would be a crazy one too

We don’t deserve you

[@johntrimble9337]

My man's is everywhere! Clutch.

[@attentionseeker653]

Interesting hearing Formal talking about the roles of coaching in COD and Halo. I wonder how things would be in COD if the coach could talk to the players in game/throughout. Watching you guys win the championship in Halo live was incredible.

[@therko01]

meeting FormaL before the matches on Championship sunday was crazy definitely being there live was amazing

[@CJ-fz9gt]

Cod is too fast paced a coach would just flood the comms

[@attentionseeker653]

@@CJ-fz9gt Fair point. Maybe instead of constant comms their input would be minimal - mainly to ensure they stick to the plan and inform the team when they need to adapt and how.

[@hdhejehwkaje6542]

​@@CJ-fz9gtwould probably just help play call/call breaks off the start. And let people know what they need to cover or what's open that the enemy can come from

[@lafset1064]

Shout out to FORMAL for telling it like it is man. I’ve shared the same viewpoint with how pros go about criticism

[@JimmyRingz]

Facts

[@rabbitparadise]

25:00 huge facts formal, respect this empathy, i agree i think this is a huge problem across a lot of games. devs have room to improve, but players rarely look inwards and realize how they can make the feedback process more functional. devs are people too!

[@OMGitsahorse]

Inner Circle episodes are BY FAR my favorite piece of content that OpTic produces. As a fan of Competitive Halo since 2008, seeing Lunchbox still around in the scene brings a tear to my eye. He's been around since 2007 and is one of the brightest minds in Halo. Couldn't ask for a better coach.

[@alexvielfaure2981]

Optic's production is always immaculate

[@blaqadam8710]

That finals rested on Lucids shoulders to perform. Getting MVP before the finals mightve been detrimental as Lucid needed to step up hes a star and quite funnily enough he took over in that final series to win. What a moment

[@raymond1152]

I’ll say it again . This is the best Halo Optic team ever. Easy to root for all of them.

[@johnmarston2638]

Glad I’m following these group of guys right now in their prime of the game. Pretty enjoyable watching their scrims transfer over to LAN and then winning. It’s like if your there with them.

[@harryhayes7057]

Hitch is such a good host! I’ve never really been into halo but this group of players and obviously formal has really made me get involved in the Scene. #H4F

[@7ooLeY]

FormaL - "OpTic is OP. Everything is pack-a-punch." and to add to that, as a fan, it literally says everything about how I feel about OpTic. I could never follow/support another brand and organisation. Others just don't hit the same 🔥

[@artisam9484]

Damn Formal getting a couple shots in there for Big Brucey. Respect the loyalty. He's right too

[@rjauelua1]

Makes sense now after hearing dashy side of the story..

[@c4gob00m]

Honestly love this halo team purely for the personalities on it. They all seem like really really close people as well outside of the game.

[@davidfuentes2331]

Formal take on COD Coaching is on point . Man he’s hitting the nail on the head . Wow ! Can we have a 1 on 1 with Dashy . Man that would be so crazy.

[@crashandflowpodcast]

Formal's fantastic closeout statement: "that's why OP is the first two letters of the org, it's just so OP" 👌🏾

[@OrionInSpace]

You literally could not have asked for a better video for the Inner Circle then this. When I look at this team and what it has done for Halo I just want to hear this story more than anything.🙏 An inner circle full of goats.🐐

[@A7ZATRU]

25:33 I think this is the first time I've seen a pro CoD or Halo player say this, which is the truth

[@B_M_A]

2:45 to 3:03 was so good, they are totally right.

[@astute1655]

How long you play is definitely a passion thing. There are fight game pros who compete well into their 40s and their hands are under a lot more pressure than any CoD or halo pro, or any esport pro for that matter.

[@daleyfitness4971]

Apg was on mars good lord 😂

[@Hysetzz]

[@YouNoMeDawg]

[@MrBleviins]

The shot at Rambo 😅😂😂 I agree though. They don’t need him bruh

[@crizzop1194]

Inner circle is one of the best content pieces ever created. And the way Formal ended the video was straight 🔥🔥

[@CHA0Z_-]

My childhood watching Halo to now all together in a circle. Once again though nice work from the production team.

[@CodyRoseDrums]

I’m so stoked that we just got the Halo team on for a cool talk video. We need more Halo Content 🖤

[@OhAndron]

that ending gave me goosebumps hahaha that was amazing. can't wait to see what the bois do in season 2!

[@xTheHairyPalmx]

All love to Formal, but he couldn't have done it without that solid group of guys on his team. Buncha legends

[@AdamYT24]

Well of course. Could say the same about the COD dynasty team too of course

[@WhatsaMOUN]

Optic better be paying lunchbox well that man has a world of experience and knowledge

[@tylerkay825]

Idk what they are paying him but I can guarantee he is the highest paid halo coach.

[@lupomena]

H3CZ always takes care of his people 🪃

[@Iwannacrynonamew]

Matt will always be a legend of and a cornerstone of OpTic. Even the part where he left OpTic 😂

[@retropyro]

Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard ngl

[@Saiintx]

[@xJaGG3d]

"That's why OP are the first two letters of the org, it's just OP being on OpTic" damn

[@NorseNoahJ]

Formal indirectly calling out Spartan’s whiny ass at 24:39 brings me joy.

[@Flyaway99]

Wow I was literally just thinking about how I was waiting for another inner circle. Couldn’t have come at a better time.

[@dyliver]

[@HondaMaster2653]

Hearing lunch say his line at the end about having a confident, set roster going into the new season reminded me of the Karma clip after they won champs going into WW2 when everyone was scrambling to find a way to beat OpTic…..that didn’t turn out so well….praying season 2 wont be the same! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chethannaik9540]

loved the whole videob, but how do you guys record the audio?

[@TheTriskit4]

So grateful for another inner circle!!!……but. Who’s making hitch ask these questions, we’ve heard them answer these a million times by now. I wasn’t expecting sean evans level questions but damn, if you’re gonna preface each question with “I know you been asked this 100 times, but…” maybe you should ask something else?
