Seth seems so much happier man. Sad as fuck we will never see him compete in CDL but super excited to see the content he does

[@phil15450]

The content gonna be fire bro

[@Brankokovac]

Optic Beer League has so much potential for great content in the future. You could fly out guest related to each title being played and showcase highlight clips from that specific era of COD. You could even have some trivia questions with everyone for fun around the game and era of the game you're all playing. Just bringing everyone together to reminisce in a candid environment on a regular cadence would be really fun

[@davidjohnson27]

If we don’t see a beer league were rioting no bs

[@Jeffrey-Rice]

I wish i could hug you

[@Aquajoda]

36:58 is what we all need. I just want to watch the dynasty play together. Even 8's one night

[@samgoodyear9793]

Agreed. Obviously getting Crimsix to do it is the hard part, I think he's fine with Seth and Damon but not Matt. A challengers entry would be the best thing ever, but even just some 8s or a throwback tourney would be awesome.

[@blakeacri5182]

Boze is literally so funny 🤣 every story he’s ever told on this podcast is pure gold. Everybody needs a Boze in your life 🤙🏻 And yes to the pick-up league. That would be awesome!

[@davidjohnson27]

And he always lets people get their stuff off never taking over someone

[@nozzwa3595]

Still go back and watch the Velcro bit lmaoo

[@henrystaindldymond3126]

100% need this beer league, congrats on an amazing career scumpii

[@GG-mm9hf]

Seth need2 go bak 2 CDL... that would "pop" 😔

[@calebwright9974]

@@GG-mm9hf no get over it hes done

[@Leo-qj3xm]

@@GG-mm9hf no he’s gonna keep costing

[@Mooffins]

I would kill for an AW sesh

[@dylanmoistner8436]

Damon just sitting there chillin the whole pod is what I'm tryna achieve

[@mattfreeman2082]

He said if you're gonna let shotzzy sit on the pod and say 2 words, bet, I can do that.

[@work4whatyouwant477]

No shot you watched the whole thing lmao

[@-.-6900]

Just like Formal, useless guests when they just don’t speak

[@DJeMo]

The iceman is always frosty that's why we love him hehe, usually speaks when required, guess that's why he is a 3 time too...

[@patrickthomas2650]

He definitely talked a decent amount lol you must have stopped watching 10 min in

[@lwebb7]

Having BoZe back in the content a lot really makes me happy man, he is a great addition to Scump's watch parties and it's great to see he is still interested in COD

[@Yoooooooakskdkospap]

The pickup games would be LITTTTTT. +1 vote for beer league. I think half of the first event is on this podcast. Sad Scump retired but as a longtime fan i understand, man’s been doing it forever. If one foot is out, you’re done, that goes for anything.

[@ismaelsierra9946]

Man I can't believe the king played last weekend and is retired now. What a career! #ThankyouScump

[@jjpaz98]

39:05 made me have a rush of nostalgia. The dynasty reign was an amazing time to grow up

[@kingbyouchoob2488]

the pick up games idea flying people in would be SO LIT

[@OrionInSpace]

Unless I missed something from that video of his official retirement and didn't see it, the one person who wasn't there during his speech that maybe deserves so much of the credit of getting Seth to where he was in life and in his career is his mom, Kristen. Truly think if she had been in that video I would've cried even more then I did... she has always been there for him and raised one of the most goated people to ever walk the Earth, not just in gaming. Always went to his events and cheered him on and supported him through everything.🙏 Thank you for giving us the King.💚

[@aetosrequiem]

Great pod cast. Nice hearing from the goat post retirement. On the beer league idea you could create a wheel for 1. Picking the cod game 2. Beer selection 3. Teams. Losing team has to shotgun 🤷🏻‍♂️ best out of 3.

[@axelvictor2377]

Completely agree w Seth about the passion difference in titles. My first cod ever was Black Ops 1 and I dont even enjoy cod anymore myself. Its just so different

[@trevormason3825]

The best part of Scump retiring is that hopefully we will get pubstomp scumpii back

[@Dgusting]

Man I remember when Seth kept going back to BO3 when the new games started sucking. I've been playing BO4 because it's been by far the best COD since jetpacks. I think he should go play that and bring back the 70 challenge personally. AND TIER LISTS Sethy. We want to know what you think of everything, current pros, past pros, etc. My COD rankings personally: 1. BO2 2. BO3 3. MW2 4. COD 4 5. BO4 6. MW3 7. Cold War 8. AW 9. BO1 10. WaW 11. IW 12. WW2 13. MW19 14. Ghosts 15. MW2(fake) 16. Vanguard

[@Synergy4375]

Guarantee Scump Damon & formal go on to win some juicy WZ money at some point this year

[@BlackedOutG70]

I can’t wait til Huke is in the OpTic content!!! Same with seeing dashy return to the content!

[@thehh5118]

A Dynasty Challengers would be the best COD content ever lmao

[@Rue1157]

21:44 - 22:15 Bro im crying xD xD , Killa is too funny bruh

[@Jack_Norris]

It would be dope if you guys did throwback series in the esports stadium every other friday, and it was like an open event. So like Scump, Karma, Boze, would be like the team to be beat (Similar concept to king of the hill in basketball). And if the open team wins, they win some items from one of optic's sponsors (jack in the box, turtle beach, etc.) It could also be like an old school AND 1 thing, but in cod. So Scump and whoever could go to other cities too, to face local teams. It would be cool to see the record Scump's pickup squad would have against the local teams in each city, and it could be new people everytime. Say you have on in L.A. Scump flies out to team up with Nade Kap and Envoy. And they play local pick up teams on BO2, or whatever throwback game. Series could be called "Heir to the Throne".

[@streetDAOC]

It amazes that MBOZE is still even around. Dudes been squatting in the optic house living off the success of scump for over a decade. It’s disgusting that he’s not working a normal job somewhere

[@hectoralvarado49]

Current optic team vs Optic dynasty 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 first to 5. In all Cods MW2 2009-2023 Mw2 more 🔥🔥🔥

[@ozjacobo5213]

Did this dude say he was exhausted from a 7 hour shift ? Leave home by 10am , home by 8:30pm ? 😂🤣🐐

[@TheHotSoupe]

The OpTic logo on Damon's sweater is like a drop shadow of his chain. Pretty fucking cool actually

[@DJeMo]

For years we saw prime Scump and now we can enjoy prime Seth and cool kid Karma in the house is always a bonus, nice chat guys, enjoyed that, and for those that enjoy the ad break it's 26:12 - 32:15 love you

[@ClipzUtopia]

This was an amazing episode. So exciting about the future of OpTic!💚

[@Timmycoo]

Damon: "Matt aint playing this shit " lol

[@DECAYED-]

Like the optic beer league idea

[@KeyToAwesomness]

We want a «can you beat the dynasty?» series, where the dynasty plays 100$ challs and the money goes into a pot

[@SwitchProduction]

Bro that Killah reference LMAOOOOO

[@TheMrTipZy]

I'm having a hard time believing that this is real. Thank you, scump. I've been a fanboy of Optic since 2010, and when scump started the content with Nade, I started to understand that Scumpii was going to take over. Can't wait for the new content. #ThankyouScump 👑🐐

[@mistersmarty2626]

Bring back the optic dynasty for ranked play content. Win win for everyone. They get to post a video on their channel

[@Sungoku47]

Respect to Seth for going out on top skill wise.. And it wasn’t a ego move, it was a “I don’t wanna cost my team” move and that’s tippable af

[@seanelliott3172]

Black ops beer league should have the COL team. Because every time the COL team plays together i love how much yelling they do and teep just puts his head in his hands.

[@AMA2much]

42:00 bro boze cracks me up man 😂😂😂

[@showey9832]

Scump is one of the rare people who can play any game and get viewers. (Summit, Shroud, XQC) He just needs to play games he loves, people want to see him happy. Tarkov baby!

[@andrewmichos3404]

One of the best podcasts! Straight intel and great takes the whole time instead of blowing smoke through half the podcast. I was locked in throughout, usually I can’t even finish because I am looking for the diamond in the rough.

[@gavinrussell3346]

Free shoutout to the googan squad in the back😂😂😂

[@Jackleston]

i say the dynasty gets together at the beginning of each cod, grinds for the pro-am tourney, and then chalk it after that 😂😭

[@The_DeeeJ46]

Scump still as the sub player and on the bench OpTic should let him sub in for 1 round of an SnD in every major and champs so he can be the first and only player to hit 100 career events!

[@kylechilton5369]

Scump v Nade, the boxing match longtime fans have always dreamed of

[@zainarif1654]

17:40 Damon rare faded take. Illey is the best sniper in MWII so far

[@kingsrky3931]

Scump weren't the problem, illey shotzzy and dashy were 😂😂

[@gabb05]

seth's gonna be stealing bags in warzone touney's lol

[@jeffcastillo1598]

Crim, Scump, Karma, & Formal. In challengers I would watch that everyday

[@samgoodyear9793]

The dynasty playing together in something is no. 1 on the list. Challengers entry would be the best, but even a throwback tourney or 8s would be great. I'd love to expand Hitch's idea and get, say, 16 people on board for a retro COD league. Dynasty, plus Jkap, Aches, Nadeshot, ZooMaa, BigTymer, Apathy etc. be so fun to recreate some old rivalries in a competitive setting even if it's for small money, I bet they'd say they wouldnt take it seriously and then instantly get hyped.

[@ryanmack8717]

Dude I'd start drinking again if you were to make a beer league- send it.

[@joshhancock-brown1784]

11.05- Karma is just thinking 'NAH kid you will be good brother'

[@The_DeeeJ46]

OpTic Dynasty in a challengers event would absolutely get more viewers than the pro stream lol

[@Jrobert619]

Scump should be playing with timthetatman

[@bamwalker3633]

I miss scumps warzone hot drop warzone runs but a beer league would be fire. Bring in pros, Doc, Tim, NFL superstars... Skies the limit.

[@brazen6850]

Throwback 8's on BO2 with Seth and other retired/current pros sounds amazing I need this ASAP.

[@eldorado223]

Hitch is a waaaay more eloquent and relatable host than HEX. He should take over this series. Change my mind.

[@grantcalvin]

This guy is literally going to kill it at anything he tries. Get ready competition, y’all about to get lapped. 💚

[@collinbassett]

Scump and Tarik should play some Val together sometime!

[@theOldApple556]

miss that red headed timmy fryer

[@haydenhaydo]

That pickup beer league sounds so fun to watch

[@adrockvision8616]

Scump should make a video clipping all the WZ2 glitch issues that would be fire and funny AF!

[@iro9486]

Scump describing a normal work day for what part of his year would be like has to be depressing for a lot of people

[@SamBacon88]

DO THE BEER LEAGUE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WE NEED THIS

[@merkey]

THE DYNASTY vs CURRENT ROSTER

[@youthought.128]

Just seen this, pls god almighty let there be a Dynasty Challengers Cup!!! Everyone would have a field day. The fans, the Watch Parties...TacticalRab!!!!!!

[@xXxPAYCHECKOxXx]

Cant wait to watch Seth stream Tarkov

[@OldManOlaf]

Every Idea Scump had will 100% blow up! Been saying this for a while! Get it boys! I wish OMOO would recruit for the OG squad!

[@xPoppyxClutchx]

Would love to see everyone doing content together again

[@xngel_uwu]

"I'm not a fighter im a lover" best line ever

[@dazed_vizion6593]

A beer league is a must!

[@alexdikeman4205]

i love all the dudes on optic and especially DAMON.

[@schammy2040]

I cannot WAIT to see Seth’s potential with content now that he can strictly focus on that

[@itsknutz]

OG COD beer league sounds fire

[@michaelstewart2420]

Beer league is the best idea since 100-0 back in bo2

[@obrotha]

52:55 most genius content idea

[@joesmoke3936]

It’s sad no one will remember the name Scump after maybe 5 years. People forget so fast

[@tylerthompson849]

Optic beer league sounds so sick

[@_TazOG]

Optic Dynasty team on ranked plat would be an amazing series no lie 😅

[@berniewright377]

You guys should do a old mans league. Have your own majors and add in the beer league and whatnot. If you get enough people you can do CDL format maybe and just run it when the CDL isn’t on

[@realrichlake]

if the dynasty played together in person at heczquarters and streamed it, theyd have at least 100k. Charity stream on scumps channel?

[@ethanbankoski5091]

A beer league would be FIRE

[@JustWilson]

Nah scumps just scared of playing against crim on his vengeance arc 😂😂😂

[@ck97u]

Would be sick to watch Seth do some Let’s Plays.

[@RayeedW]

As much as I would love for that to happen I think that type of content is in the past now. Maybe we could see something like that for a variety type stream though.

[@whitegenome22]

Yeah I want him to play games that aren't fps games

[@MeeTube29]

Get the dynasty together for an AW beer weekends against whoever lol

[@94nolo]

32:22 end of ad read

[@aussie7137]

That story about Killa was so funny 21:40

[@peytonlong5573]

So excited for this chapter of Scump career I really hope to see a dynasty reunion just once even also 21:45 is hilarious

[@joshcampbell2328]

That beer league sounds awesome!!

[@ilprovokedli6250]

I have watch Scump since Bo2 days. Wish you the best in your future. I would love to see some Tarkov content.

[@aghostwiener]

I agree with scump ive been playing cod since 2007 and it used to be everything i thought,of wanted to play, pre ordered countless pub hours and to me since cold war i havnt had the urge like i can do maybe 30 min of pubs or 8's and i literally dont want to play anymore its wild how you can do something automatically for so long and all of a sudden i just dont want to

[@JFB199]

We need the beer league, GREAT idea

[@foxxyninja9731]

yo I think it would be a bangger to see some kind of OG Players in a Tournament from past cods

[@RuggerJug]

I'm glad that Scump's first pod since retiring doesn't have Hecz in it. I love Hecz but I really love the podcasts that he isn't in. They're more free flowing, easy going, chill, no obligation for everyone to say something e.g. damon and boze can just sit back and chill. Hitch was the perfect host for this podcast.

[@jasondunwoodie7312]

If we doing pick up games we need an aw or bo3 one with formal and scump as captains. Amazing podcast as usual.

[@barutodes6568]

Lmao Boze is just there but he’s coo, even when he’s quiet 😂

[@fiction1249]

The fact that the CDL is all some people know is so sad

[@carlosspicyweiner3061]

Beer league is so dope. The video on nade and hecz channels where you guys had a lan practice at the house against tk and nation was so damn dope. Reminds me of that

[@onvoi]

The beer league would honestly bang on both fronts, I'm sure everyone playing would love it and content/engagement wise can't see it not being a huge success.
