Look at Formal sitting there all worry free. He got out at the right time sadly 🤣. Poor Seth.

Seth been backpacking the entire COD community for over a decade. So much props for the work he put in. Nothing but respect for this man!

[@nicoedouard1993]

It’s sad man. He can leave whenever and be so much bigger. But he stays and does it with nothing in return and still gets treated the way he does by the CDL.

[@hildenbrandt21]

@zenthora: Clash Royale that's kind of the point. He doesn't owe you or any of us a single thing. You don't pay his salary or pay his bills, to say that he didn't do enough is just an entitled opinion.

[@patrickthomas2650]

If you’ve been around COD for 10+ years then you knew the CDL was a terrible idea immediately

[@JokerSlaysthegame]

The CDL is a great idea in concept. I think we all feared it would be executed terribly by activision… which it so far has been

[@iJokerrr21]

@@JokerSlaysthegame cdl makes cod worse, cod is a game built by the community, with the “pros” being behind closed doors the community is separated. We’re unhappy because the old shit events were 1000x more hype than these recent events. I remember seeing teams go through the fucking ringer on lan and it made the weekend so much better. Idgaf about any cdl events because they’re straight up resident sleeper. Sentinels from halo started in the open bracket and placed 3rd, granted that’s halo but it’s the same how cod used to be.

[@SouthPlaya]

That’s why everyone adapts more and more every single year. There’s not one person on this planet who was around back then that was as good as the standard sweat today. When the pros started drop shooting so much in Bo1 that when it all the advancements began.

[@heyitzbloo7914]

Honestly I was kind of excited about it and then it was all shot down about mid way through MW

[@AcidwalkGaming]

CDL could be great if it was impletemented and excecuted correctly. Just slapping teams in a league the little support doesn't really help pros.

[@ismaelsierra9946]

I'm glad the Hecz and Nadeshot are speaking up for the community.

[@Afjol.]

There was people speaking out wayy before them which went unheard. They only prob speaking out now because Activision is under lawsuit n shit. They have that bravery hoping they dont get a fine for speaking negative about the trash game they've been releasing.

[@Accupace]

@@Afjol. H3CZ and Nade been speaking out lmfao... Actually a lot more than over half the actual pro players You're off it lol

[@nerdstreet3]

@@Accupace not only that but big names are taking bigger risks speaking out. Not saying Hecz and nadeshot are heroes or anything but it's different when they do it.

[@kieranwatt1937]

@@fable-I no he doesn't. he does it in video, but never tags the CDL directed. he does it for views, b ut not to help the league otherwise he'd be tagging them on twitter and calling them out directly, or at these owner meetings etc. even hecs admits him/optic don't like to comment on beef publically, so he's proven he keeps quiet to avoid drama. hate how blind optic fans are

[@jcjaramillo23]

“I was 18 you think I was rotating I was getting a 2 piece and yelling on the mic”😂😂😂🤦‍♂️💀

[@AngelDelvalle326]

Imagine the hit COD Esports and Call of Duty in general takes when Scump, Crim and Clay decide to retire. I think we are literally witnessing the end of call of duty as a respected E sport and it sucks! Terrible games, no content, no effort from Activision. Warzone will be what Call of Duty solely becomes unless some miracle happens in those offices with the suits.

[@ParadoxX-lt1vu]

As shitty as it sounds warzone is really what killed competitive. Not only did it take eyes away it also took Activisions attention away. They make so much money off wz they just don't give a fuck about comp. Fr i feel like the only thing keeping comp alive is the personalities. Obviously people like crim scump and clay but also people like maven and merk are a big reason it's still here. If maven and merk weren't pushing things with Activision I bet they'd care even less

[@AngelDelvalle326]

[@briangiardina1824]

If those three retire, who’s the new face of COD? Shottzy? Zinni? DOUG??!!

Leave Crim off the list and add Karma and Formal and I’m with you.

[@balsham137]

It was always Shit

[@daveysweigard]

I feel like this goes unsaid by a lot of us most of the time so I figured I would just take the time to comment how much I love this podcast. You guys probably don’t even realize how funny and entertaining these are. I look forward to em every week

[@DeeEff]

Same

[@salehahmed9079]

I agree wholeheartedly. It literally makes my day when I see the notification for the podcast. I cant even describe it.

[@daveysweigard]

@@salehahmed9079 we’ve come to love all these guys and it’s gotten harder to hear from all of them as time goes on. Being able to just get an hour of all the guys shooting the shit unfiltered is amazing. Pop it on during a particularly monotonous part of your day and it almost feels like you’ve got company. A conversation to have. Appreciate tf out of y’all, optic, happy new year keep up the good work this 2022

[@luissolis9638]

Yes sir one more podcast before the end of the year !!!! LETS GET THIS ITS GONNA BE AMAZING

Thank god

Real one brother

[@arcadiagreen150]

FormaL absolutely nailed his exit timing

[@KalubOwen]

What a podcast. Good laughs all around. Personal new years resolution, and I agree that more people should. Putting myself out there creating content. Hearing it from all the guys at the table that the money is there, but the people fear just the initial steps of getting themselves out there is in fact daunting. Shit, even I'm afraid to do it. But at the end of the day even if it doesn't get me anywhere. I least I can say I tried. Happy new years to everyone over at OpTic and the Green Wall! ❤️

[@Sungoku47]

Activision is never going to prioritize comp over casual. They need to seriously create a separate development team and group of people to run PRO cod.

[@briangiardina1824]

Problem is they don’t need to do that all so they won’t. Only way shit changes is if Activision cleans house.

[@vvsaffiliate3454]

Literally the comp community is aching for more attention the casual players really need their own game damner

[@LeonardoDiCasanova]

Just an assumption but they probably don't care because the comp community is so small. Yet the best cods were also great for comp, but they don't seem to acknowledge that

[@PreacH0921]

I still love watching Scump drop V2’s. Scump pubstomping has been the best COD content for literally a decade.

banger podcast per usual. Happy new year everyone

[@ItzWilll13]

4:17 lmaoo that takes me back to when Formal was dropping the knowledge on those taxi cabs

[@yrudonking]

Honestly the most entertaining time to watch cod was when all teams would stream scrims. It was fun to hear the arguments and discussions. It was cool to hear trash talk and its good for a COD to have players you love to hate like Aches. Having all the players get along and be politically correct makes for bad entertainment, and since the game is so bad to watch the entertainment needs to carry it.

[@davidswanborough1769]

thats what im loving about halo the scrims are streamed and its so fun to just chill want watch

[@obsoleteXeo]

TRUUUUUUUUUUE

[@SheaDolan]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjZeamKhJp6jtk started putting these out for people to watch, i don’t stream but i promise they’re entertaining

[@georgephillips6602]

Happy for Formal that he got out when he did, miss him in cod already though

[@d.renzo4019]

I miss watching these guys. Hecz has always been my internet father figure. Im so happy he was able to regain control of Optic again and is still the authentic 40 something year old phenom, he was before.

[@fred1boot]

Great podcast, guys, I really appreciate hearing your perspectives on the topics covered. Hecz has always been years ahead of the curve and it's sad that more pros don't take his advice. He's a King-maker.

[@michaelcrooks5421]

That ending had me dying! Great work guys 👏🏻

[@monty3249]

loving the content man. looking forward to a cod with a strong competitive support system.

[@grainghoul]

These podcasts have been 🔥 lately!

[@TheEcon1993]

Is there really no way the owners can’t band together and ask to speak with the head of CDL or even someone higher up in Activision and speak with them about their grievances as people who each invested $20mill + on spots in the league? It seems like $200million + should get someone to listen

[@dahgameps432]

They have been fooled, the top dog is Activision. The fight is soooooo up hill.

[@bishopwilson1016]

Always knew the CDL was a bad idea for cod esports

[@QuikHunter]

This is one of my favourite groups on the show. Booze and T2P with Hecz, never too high but not too low. It’s just a good vibe

[@ChronographThis]

Some straight facts spoken on this podcast 👏

[@Michael-vw4cg]

The way hecz is talking in this podcast makes me think the CDL is not gonna be a thing in a few years.

[@murrvy]

The ending was so funny 😂

[@meetURfate2012]

with all this going on, having pros finally speak up and a lot of the cod fan base not playing warzone or vanguard because of how bad it is right now can be a good thing. This feedback could make next years cod have a major bounce back for the franchise. Let’s hope we get cod back in the right direction
