Pred on OpTic Winning CoD Champs, Almost Joining FaZe & SnD Issues w/ Shotzzy | EXCLUSIVE #15

[@kikthepow]

This guys got formals confidence/mentality, I love it

[@shafialanower3820]

Optic lacked that killer mentality heavily since formal left

[@jae0036]

I loved seeing the dynamic and camaraderie between Daunte and AG this year. Always showing love to each other even in a champs GF. Awesome storyline.

[@joshackley2496]

I feel like Pred and OpTic were always going to match. Even if he was opposed to going to OpTic prior, the fact that Hecz kept throwing the bag at Seattle at least showed Pred how much he was wanted

[@stingthata5520]

Wow.. such a great mindset man. Pred has such a bright future

I still think they have so much more to go and are gonna be the best team for years to come it’s crazy the placements they had after a 2 man change

[@julianabrego5706]

Bro you asked the one question I’ve always had. 😂 Why do they call him AG?

[@Kevinmiranda77]

I hate the narrative that a lot of OpTic fans talk shit about a certain player or asume that everyone that talk shit are OpTic fans. Literally, most of the shit thrown at players are from cdl streamers/personalities or haters.

[@dominickhawke9379]

Thankyou…. Optic fans aren’t the ones whining it’s the flank fangirls

[@_Graham99_]

A lot of people that talk shit are optic fans, optic fans make up a huge chunk of the cdl fanbase so if even just a third of the optic fanbase is shit talking that’s most likely more than majority of other teams entire fanbase. Also the most toxic fanbase by a mile.

[@Yumadlol]

I don't think OpTic beat NYSL at Major 1 in Boston. New York lost WR1 to Minnesota before losing to Carolina in LR1 for a disappointing top 12 finish.

great podcast Ace, stop manspreading btw

[@mkwsoxfan]

Its very underrated how much passion this guy brings. When LAT goes up 2-0 at champs and he looks up and says "you see how happy they are now, their world is about to be rocked" and uses their trash talk as motivation to switch to another gear it elevates everyone around him. Perfect person for optic

[@austenmendoza4533]

Best top 4 team not in top 4 abuzah ghosty huke gwinn.

[@chrisporclean5686]

In future years, EWC will be considered a ring, we saw Activision doesn't want to run the events anymore, so they'll out source to a 3rd party and it only makes sense for it to be where the money is, the whole season will build up for a big ass world cup. Same for other E sports, world recognition.

[@Yumadlol]

No it wont its like xgames but xgames is more acclaimed

[@dark2k10]

Highly unlikely teams will be flying out to saudi for a ring, the CDL will definitely keep hosting them or source them out to someone else within the US

[@chrisporclean5686]

We can compare it to the Xgames, but EWC is in its infancy. They want it to be huge, they will continue to expand significantly.

Draz was one of their best players this year. I think it’s all mental, these boys might just need to team separately for a while and come back. Each of of them is in the top 10 CDL players this season.

[@devn266]

pred was better than shotzzy this year check the stats

[@user-qh1ml2rw1s]

I said it before and I’ll say it again. pred was the weak link and always will be. his style of gameplay is like faze or 100T. he got carried 75% of the way. he’s a selfish player. he dosent play as a team he plays for himself. not good in cod if u ask me

[@woodzgaming2340]

I think it’s more so the role and how he carries himself. He’s the slayer of the squad but COD players and fans with a brain understand there’s more to the game than that. So I’m definitely seeing what your seeing when they play it’s hard to put in words but for example he’ll play the cutoff instead of hopping the point but again that’s his role🤷🏾‍♂️ he also didn’t have the same consistency this season as the previous 2 seasons but he was still solid + the energy and confidence he feeds to the rest of the guys cant be seen on the stat sheet

[@parayko1702]

It's gotta suck to be that braindead

[@user-qh1ml2rw1s]

@@woodzgaming2340 I watched every green wall match live on scumps shyt. he’s a selfish player and when he’s doing bad he dosent understand the word reset. he dosent understand map awearness unless someone makes a call out. Pred lost 90% of his gunfights in broken every time they played invasion. dashy had to 1v3 pros in order to get a w. pred is a selfish player and for that he got carried. he’s going to have to do ALOT of work if they want a W again. but tbh if I was hecx just trade him for illey or tell him drop the fkn ego.
