[@KanasKleanouts]

The pressure of being on optic has cracked some of the best to ever do it. Really shows how strong Seth’s mentality is, that pressure has got to be intense.

[@wolvezzz7220]

Seth has experienced it his whole career. He’s numb to it

[@DestroyNations]

Only pressure should be on stage. With thousands of pairs of eyes on you. If you read the headlines and narratives, that's on you as a player.

[@KanasKleanouts]

@@tipsy_jana nah I’ve said it for a long time before Crim started all that. Idk what y’all do for work or your careers, but I’ve worked under pressure with lots of different crews. Some rock star studs, super capable and talented guys, some of em crumble under pressure. Even some of the guys I’ve looked up to as an apprentice, everyone is different. Some crumble, some turn to diamonds.

[@KanasKleanouts]

@@DestroyNations yeah I don’t think we disagree, but try to be realistic. These are just regular humans, they have emotions and sensibilities. They’re careers exists on the internet, to expect them to not see any headlines or narratives is unrealistic for most 20 something year olds let alone an online personality. Seems like a lot of the comments are from people who have never been under professional pressure in any shape or form. Go ask y’all’s parents about the pressures of real life. Y’all might learn a thing or two about perspective and respecting others. Aloha.

[@Anndraste]

Hearing the story plotted out again, it makes me wonder what the Vanguard season could have been if things had gone OpTics way. Illey not having an injury, therefore not being able to scrim as often, and all the uncertainty with the team because of this. The boys very well could have been a new dynasty, but fate had other plans for them, unfortunately.

It has got to be the most Optic thing ever to actually have a team with the potential to be top tier all season just for something like illey's thumb issue to happen. Hecz must have made a deal with the devil because that team is cursed.

[@commentcop5010]

They were mediocre the whole year regardless. The whole BS with iLLeY’s thumb was just an excuse for bad placements. Scump and Shotzzy fell off a cliff after Major 1. The team is just mediocre and only saw success during a flukey first major lan

[@Aunny123]

I think Dashy would perform so well with a different team with different players. He would never leave Optic voluntarily, because of the org and fanbase.

[@UnderachivercalledLX]

I just hope at the end of this season we can have a good finale to sleep on, even if loosing Bruce is already sad, he'll always be an Optic to me, basically family, i hope making this change is worth it, because right now it just sucks, i'll be there cheering for the boys in green forever, including the ones that went away, Dashy and Envoy especially

Optic Texas never rose higher than maybe top 3 in CDL at best (top 25%). They only fell from lofty expectations from fans due to their monopoly on CDL content. No one outside of their cult ever thought Optic Texas was better than Faze, Ultra, later on LAT, Surge, etc.

As an OpTic fan I can’t wait to move forward without dashy. Idc about the “vibes” he brings to the table.
