PPD & Zai Talk Pro DoTa 2 & Road to the International | OpTic Podcast Ep 50

[@adriansaldivar4636]

PPD was good on this podcast wouldn't mind having him back

[@_CarlosA]

this ppd dude seems pretty cool. i feel like he would fit in with the regular optic guys

[@hoodytoad9732]

He's the saltiest figure in pro Dota actually

[@gem1996-eth]

source of salt

[@coffee2282]

salty but the best capt.

[@hoodytoad9732]

victor aledia agree

[@AA7Productionz]

He would get kicked out from the optic house in a day.#saltking

[@LinaLina-vf2il]

57 min video and I can’t take My eyes off zai. He is that hot

[@simeonwebb6623]

Luna Gamer Zai is best grill

[@johnhimura1000]

best grill

[@RedShoes29]

Goddamn same. I was just eyeballing that dude the entire time.

[@MrWalkindeath1]

What’s people’s issue with the audio? I had no issue hearing it. Is it your headphones or speakers not the video itself?

[@juancgonzalez915]

Walkindeath1 right ! my audio is fine

[@monaqvi1326]

listen to the difference between everyone else's voice and Maniac's voice, there's such a big difference in quality.

[@extraordinaryou]

wow i really love ppd and zai, really good podcast!

[@adriansaldivar4636]

maniac really does look like he's a truck driver hahaha

[@kabalsnik]

Saying "We only use 10% of our brain." is like saying "We only use 33.33% of the stoplight on roads". We take advantage of all of our brain's processes, but never at the same time.

[@aleutss]

wow optic gaming is so huge. glad to be part of it as a fan

[@roryisawesome1]

Yes been waiting for this!!!

[@jon-umber]

Never watched any of these podcasts before; PPD and Zai brought me here.

[@sens4lyfe671]

the DOTA dudes are cool! look like a strong team too.

[@johnhimura1000]

Sens4Lyfe6 yep. those two are one of the best in there respective roles. ppd prolly top 5 captain/drafter/pos5. zai easily top 5 pos4 player

[@p.romero3641]

Their new player "33" has been a great adition to the team, and "CCnC" has improved a lot these last weeks

[@AA7Productionz]

U guys clearly don't watch pro dota.They are tier 2 as of now but anything can happen with these crazy patches..

[@1krono]

yea..... PPD with his skills throwing salt at pub players

[@EChamberlainn]

Can we get timestamps in the description going forward?

[@th3atomu555]

Eric Chamberlain your profile picture looks as if you're preparing yourself to harvard

[@simeonwebb6623]

Eric Chamberlain people have been asking for time stamps since the podcast started; fat chance getting them now bud.

[@HeartlessNinja789]

yes more dota content!

[@willisisawesome]

PPD was awesome in the podcast. Seems like such a fun dude. Would love for him to be in more stuff. Zai seems alright he didn't talk that much though.

[@SomewhereHighOfficial]

Amazing podcast so far!

[@CinemaSteve]

Man, no matter how many complain about the audio you guys don’t give two shits about fixing it. Hecz sounds like his audio is getting picked up from the shotgun mic on the camera, while Nick is the only one mic’d up properly.

[@mikebarry9219]

I don’t see any problem

[@Reptard45]

sounds to me like you got some dogshit speakers

[@simeonwebb6623]

A table setup with proper mics would be better.

[@ranzo80]

If you would have any decent hearing, you would notice that the audio has been scruffed for the past 10 podcasts. They really need to learn how to monitor their audio because it's garbage and they won't do anything about it.

[@simeonwebb6623]

ranzo80 agreed, what I’m wondering is where the old mics that they used at the Scuf house are. It’s sad when the flycast has better audio quality than a podcast produced by an entire team of people.

[@juanadolfo]

H3ckz you are so smart bro! TY for bring some Dota to OpTic!

[@JOTC]

To fix the Audio, all you could do is get a Zoom H1 + LAV mic for each person and then line up all the audio in post. BOOM fixed. Inexpensive and great audio. You'd think a production team would know that the most important thing about a podcast is the Audio.

[@piercetrahan7620]

23:08 Peter's reaction to "tournament formats" is a look that needs no explanation in the Dota community

[@MetallicaMichael24]

Maniac makes the podcasts 10 times more enjoyable

[@simonandre9562]

Wow... this was actually a really good episode. Love the Dota guys

[@matthewbocanegra8850]

So glad they have personality it brings more to OpTic tbh

[@WhoDey47]

these Dota guys seem pretty cool... will have to check them out next time they’re playing

[@iFlobben]

Take me back to the Bo2 days

[@ImTizMoH]

This dude on here from Fort Wayne. Wtf I’m from Fort Wayne.

[@adamfreeby8582]

ImTizMoH same here blows my mind

[@simeonwebb6623]

ImTizMoH woah people live near you? No way...

[@rflatt16]

That sucks lol

[@ImTizMoH]

you'd understand if you were from here. No one is from here. Relax weirdo.

[@precx_8066]

Sagt mir bitte das jmd hat ausser mir das yung hurn shirt gespottet hat.

[@Demon-hk2ld]

Timesplitters 2 was a dope game. Glad he brought it up lol

[@freshlive1292]

I swear if I see one of those "do you need OpTic gear" ad

[@RedShoes29]

Can anyone give me a time stamp of which parts did zai really start talking about anything because i feel like hecz is just the one speaking 70% of the time. Edit: it's around the 30 min mark

[@linkscitys2870]

When is ep 15 for the vision going to come?

[@CurlSQD]

Charge Linkz thursday

[@zanemac5]

Really cool podcast enjoyed learning about the Dota guys

[@damianlopez6583]

39:50 Fucking Nick man, why did he find that funny!? lol 😂😂💀💀

[@zenznsama]

yooo ppd is hella chill

[@elliottcromer3363]

[@philmitchell1965]

Without Maniac i wouldnt watch this

[@rflatt16]

Then you’d miss out PPD and Zai are great

[@TheSk8erjosh]

Time Splitters was such a good game

[@haydenolmstead]

[@ItzViprr]

[@chili24137]

[@IntoItDesigns]

[@Ratchat-fm5jw]

Time Spliters was sooooo good! They are making a remake

[@SwimmingBird13]

Zai's voice recording is way too quiet

[@terrag007]

Davyd Dragovoz that’s how low he actually talks lol always been that way

[@RedShoes29]

He's just very soft spoken.

[@4536647674]

Everyone from sweden talks like that

[@DarrenTruax]

timesplitters was the best zai

[@SilverwindAYA]

[@devildog414fg]

[@AxelShifter]

[@Troplord]

I think, therefore I am.

[@juancgonzalez915]

[@grantharding2731]

[@d_slb_pt2824]

[@Blake-dm8hw]

[@janoschmarmet4845]

ZAI

[@chili24137]

30:55 haha

[@TheMicroDrummer]

LOL there actually is a Mythbusters episode on the brain thing! And it is a myth.

[@ci4396]

guy on the right wearing a shirt saying "ja bitte! hurn partei" that means "yes please! Whore party" (party like a political party not party party :D) thats actually a rappers merch (yung hurn)

[@ctulhuone]

31:00 zai was the girl haha

[@mgomberg98]

Astronomers have found 3693 planets outside of our solar system. but most planets are found by indirect methods. one method is the Radial velocity method, which detects wobbles in a stars motion due to the tug of a planet's gravity. There is also the transit method which involves seeing the dimming of a star due to a planet passing in front of it, this method produces a lot of false positives. with the transit method, scientists can figure out the composition of the planets atmosphere by how light is affected when it moves through the atmosphere. There are many other methods of planet detection as well. as for our solar system water in frozen form has been found on mars and various other moons of planets. There is geological evidence of water that once flowed on mars, but that has recently been questioned. The only known life outside earth is some bacteria on different inner solar system bodies.

[@erik7396]

watching for maniac only

[@erik7396]

literally

[@WhoDey47]

i was just for Nick and Hecz as well but I really enjoyed the whole episode

[@TheOnlySiiK]

yeeeeeeer

[@vertxjack_clips]

Hurn Partei international

[@aFLYJF]

Legit havent been able to listen to a single podcast since noscope was brought on. Audio is so wrong. How hard it is to just post edit the audio oh wait its not. Cmon now

[@panteracheka]

Micro of Zai is very low sound!

[@AMA2much]

Yeah Hecz' boy Sethy isn't going anywhere

[@ilyRandle]

I fkn love nick lmao

[@wolfsega1336]

Hurn Partei. Noone will get that haha

[@alcatraz1009]

Simon Wolfsjäger hab ich mir auch gedacht xd

[@ScArlita]

Zai

[@TheModedEzio]

Time for Formal to go back and destroy halo ? Just a thought.

[@atleengnes4685]

VISION?!?!?

[@samschofield3474]

omg my last name is schofield

[@raph2401]

I think zai is muted. /s

[@zenznsama]

the 10% brain thing is just from a quote of Einstein saying we use it for dumb stuff. then movies like lucy and limitless just predictive programing us for transhuminism. read about it.

[@steverino16]

I thought a major point of letting Infinite run things was for things to become "professional". All i have seen from their production is improper mic levels, mics not being on, and (in this case) a horrible seat setup. They should actually be facing each other. Not having to turn their necks to see the person talking to them. This isn't professionalism. This is laziness. C'mon guys. Hitch did better content while filming in a house with minimal equipment.

[@juanadolfo]

Kick ZAI win the international Kappa LUL

[@Алегорий]

Бля нет субтитров, сейчас будет идеальный английский

[@zenznsama]

didnt even click bait the suggested video name. lazy lazy people

[@JoeyPerronYT]

Jacks a better host. Nick should be on every podcast along with courage and hitch. No hecz he’s too selfish and most times is rambling or making up stuff. He’s rough. I miss old optic hecz. Not every topic or thing needs to somehow be about him but he needs to make it about him. I’m over it.

[@BucksNation21]

optic is dying....... time to abandon ship

[@Spenze]

First

[@yordanpatronski1897]

BY FAR THE MOST BORING PODCAST IVE SEEN

[@mswaney81]

The host is annoying.

[@maurizioarrivabene8182]

Who cares about dota? The cod team is what keeps optic alive, and everyone makes it seem like theyre splitting up...maybe you could use your podcast for something useful that people actually want to watch, like clearing up rumors or making it official

[@NNjjNNiiAA]

Maurizio Arrivabene if y’all don’t wanna watch it then don’t watch it. Dota team is great

[@MrHowezy]

Shut up and wait for vision

[@strafe8546]

they recorded this before all the rumors went down, and they are clearing everything up on vision.

[@sosa2818]

Maurizio Arrivabene optic splitting is the stupidest move rn... they was dominant in bo3 so I’d think split during or after bo4 if shit doesn’t work it

[@maurizioarrivabene8182]

MrHowezy could you watch your language kid? Dont disrespect me like that...it takes an hour to make a 15 min video talking about the team, editing it and uploading it. No need for dramatic edits...its 2018, everything needs to be available within a heartbeat

[@noelforde237]

These guys are here sitting around talking about pets. Who TF cares, we want to know whats going on with the real OG team, the CoD team, no one cares about this BS SMH. OpTic RIP 2018

[@euanmarsh6586]

Noel Forde Why watch a Dota 2 podcast expecting to here Call of Duty news?

[@noelforde237]

Euan Marsh its not a dota podcast, its an OpTic podcast, people are here for the personalities and info about the behind the scenes of the org, not the socialy awkward dota community. Besides half of the guys on this episode of the podcast have never even touched dota lmfao

[@HeartlessNinja789]

everyone knows to wait for cod news on vision this week, no reason to hate on a podcast TITLED OpTic Dota 2

[@noelforde237]

Euan Marsh did i say that it was??? No, how about you read the comment i posted, i said who tf cares about this when there are more grave things going on in the org and they just try to blanket over it and act like nothing is going on. Not even saying when some news will come out. Honestly no one cares about dota, thats the reason Maniac is on the podcast, not even Hecz can carry these 2 in a conversation by himself for an hour

[@hoodytoad9732]

"No one cares about Dota" dude they just won a minor championship and OpTic fans congratulates them, maybe you're the only one who doesn't care
