Hitch is the best mediator for this because he was all of us back then. Just a fan of them watching them stream everyday and rooting for the team at every tourney. Loved the questions he brought on

Hitch is god tier. You make a great point about mediator. He is from the outside looking in and he is great with talking, asking questions, and making content. Under rated af

[@kb909]

I really liked Zin’s point about drawing the line between keeping talent and entertainment in the league. These new gen pros are like completely disconnected from fans and the community, most new pros don’t stream or talk to anyone and it sucks. In the old days, everyone knew eachother and pros played 10 hours of 8’s every night and all of them streamed and really helped create the community we have. Now, with franchising, teams have to decide what’s gonna make the most money for them. It’s weird how we worked so hard for the scene to get bigger but now kinda wish it was the way it used to be.

[@Dameworth]

Really wish the league allowed for a more robust academy system because an academy OpTic making content would be helping the community

[@kb909]

[@JackLikesCarrots]

@@kb909 the problem is the esport isnt bringing in enough money right now for expansion to make sense

[@cobbygaming7021]

Yea I do wish these new pros did this but it’s unfair to ask them to do this when other esport pros don’t have to do it and there games are still getting viewers ex (Rocket leauge, LoL, Valorant) very few pros on those games stream/make content and still achieve those insane views.

Methodz explaining how those were the best times of his life hit different. I remember rushing home from school turning on my system and waiting 30 seconds tops to get that invite to a party, getting that GB and grinding until my mom screamed at me to go to bed. Spend all day at school thinking about that 1v3 I choked waiting for school to end and do it all over again. Life was good man, we were having so much fun and didn't even know it.

[@trimotionmedia5487]

Favorite video series I've seen from OpTic recently. This episode had me feeling all the emotions. I was debating life. Recalling memories. Sad about nostalgia. Thinking about the future of my personal life. I'm 27 years old now, have a job, same HS friends, still playing Call of Duty and Halo, enjoy golfing, working out, I'm married, and so on. Look back and be happy we had our past, but also Gotta be in the moment and enjoy what we have right now. My Gaming friends rarely get on as much anymore, but I'm happy with the times I've had. Looking forward to all the future Memories I'll make as well. Like Nard Dog Andy said in the show The Office, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ol days, before you've left them."

The bigshot teams were basically teams with the crown and a nice banner logo that someone made on photoshop lol. Then MLG bought GB and COD took over and I peaced out. I wish I stayed and gave COD a chance. I think my GB days were the funnest times of my life but man I still feel I missed out.
