Ultra was smart to pay these guys

[@coltonshanley1921]

Smart is an understatement. Zooma kinda broke open the door and has re invigorated the scene and people like me are craving cdl content and conversation. Especially when I’m working and can’t watch , listening to these guys get twisted with the chit chat helps me lock in .

[@MarkyMarkGG]

ultra has great content. they know what theyre doing. unfortunately their players dont draw the biggest audience but ive been loving their content and theyre doing so many things right

[@krispyquam5713]

Best cod pod

[@bubbalouu6325]

Ultra Ownership is next level, getting mark and maven a pod for your franchise is 1000iq play

[@TehThxsis]

It’s obviously still growing. But yeah, the more consistent I can see it getting flank numbers for sure.

[@Rafftakes]

@@TehThxsis Different crowd but I dont see it being as big as the black simply due to how interactive the flank is and their high output

[@Tumorcoach]

Merk

[@sportsfan_913]

Octane has a future on the desk if he wants it. Very smart dude. Knows CoD so well & fans like him.

[@johnpeacock9107]

Agree 100%

[@Vaipou]

it feels good to listen to a cod podcast and just hear all unbiased opinions. This was perfect.

[@mr.nobody229]

Listening to Octane w Merk and Maven is one of the best things i've done.

[@mariat5350]

As a new CDL fan I’m sad to see the Ultra roster change. I got so attached to those guys as my team but I’m excited to see what happens next year. Deep down I’ll be rooting for Bance and Cammy where ever they end up. 💜💜💜 Great pod as always!

[@RootedRythm]

Thank you Maven for linking me in his twitch chat

[@wassupfuqqly7195]

Maven hates dashy bro 🤣

[@Tumorcoach]

Maven is friends tee pee and during BO4 Dashy was an issue to deal with, so I bet Maven heard a lot

[@dariusmcwillie853]

What a great show with Octane. Needed this!

[@HAZYGOTEM]

Octane is a natural at podcasting. Fire content all around.

[@jeremytjia918]

First of all, so happy these two guys are back on producing CDL content. They deserve to cast regularly and they have been missed. But omg, Clint my man you need to stop interrupting your co-host and guests, ESPECIALLY when you have a star guest like Sam. It feels like such a choppy listening experience. Do that and the show will skyrocket 👍🏻❤️

[@jrolla1858]

Amazing episode, Always been a fan of Sam and of course the Duo of Merk and Maven. keep it up fellas!!

[@kobeharris9537]

That story about kap trying to hype the team up similarly to Shane is too wholesome

[@brysonkantz9552]

Keep ‘em coming with these

[@blakeleonard3990]

Slasher is a smart guy he definitely will change his attitude he knows how big of an opportunity/blessing it is to be on this team.

[@adrianramirez5104]

I think you guys should incorporate a chat box from the stream onto the screen. Just a suggestion, the pod is great either way

[@huhver]

Subbing now because of this pod

[@kingheffreyhippo]

Would love to see you guys get envoy on to get his thoughts on going to LAT and what it ment to him on winning Champs

[@joshuahack3231]

Ultra gonna grow their fan base real fast with this pod cast

[@Aspect46]

Yes merk ! I love hearing the almost rosters Thank you !!

[@Xalelf]

Octane KILLED the Crimsix segment

[@Kasper1111]

This actually a good podcast

[@zx45zx]

That rotating background makes me wanna chall Abezy on raid with no ammo. Send whoever did that to sensitivity training

[@kaseaustin4085]

Having Octane on was killer - hope you guys continue to mix up with guests 👌

[@shavaizshabbir5964]

Great Listen 🤌🏽🤌🏽

[@DayOfTheDumpster]

Fantastic job Mr. Octane. A true natural! I look forward to your podcast when you retire.

[@deecee1486]

Love this content

[@CammWILL]

Great content

[@SiqFix]

Boston was the only team close to beating LAT at Champs that was insane

[@nosyrBW]

Could the dashy situation, be a instance where he was getting his contract restructured

[@Xalelf]

Correction, Banger conversation the whole way through. I just became an even bigger Octane fan

[@jxetv5049]

Here because of Merk/Maven. Staying for the maple syrup.

[@huhver]

Kinda wish the background wasn’t continually moving

[@adamcogan211]

Woctane, Werk and Waven!!!

[@declaan1098]

Fire

[@scottblack8134]

Wow got a new podcast sweet

[@Justb99xbox]

So how are they doing champs for this game. Is it one a year or one at the end of two years?

[@qstar710]

Nice job ultra

[@human9314]

love this shit

[@DominoGaming97]

Faze just got a whole lot shorter replacing Arcitys with slasher

[@alex__2265]

Think yall were a bit hard on Illey. He was not consistently struggling. Especially after he came back. Was always around .95 - 1.05 which is very solid for ur IGL/4th most talented player

[@S1QD]

I had 3x 7er non skippable ad bombs wtf 😳

[@Frost-ux8jx]

Preistah was really good on bo4 but man simp on 100t would b insane

[@Marcelo-oh5zc]

I could have sworn faze stated they never even went for dashy. Not even an offer , so take that as you will

[@yungstizzle.]

Octane is a stud

[@DilPPickles]

Holy interruptions

[@henrylopez00hl]

100 iq play a podcast with merk and maven??? WHATTTT

[@ABagOfQuestionMarks]

Octane supports not having every team go to Champs only when his team wins it

[@mpetty93]

I feel like the year his team should didn’t make it the argument was more cause they showed up LAN and the whole season besides the last major was online.

[@noelbate505]

Because last year's argument was understandable, they were great in LAN and was forced to played Online for most of it while this year yes there was a still a ton of Online but not as much

[@blunter8556]

First let’s go. I love this podcast

[@Dubs913]

I really hope Ultra doesn’t drop Cammy

[@vazthe3rd223]

Bro octane b using a lot of complex words he sounds like Steven A Smith

[@Justb99xbox]

Still can't believe Faze got rid of Alec

[@jakek3653]

Faze wanted shotzzy last year ant already said they offered him

[@cardenas2097]

Damn Maven and Dashy DO NOT get along! Lol

[@FreekaaaY]

Hell Yeah I'm rich because I have a Shop Vac lol!

[@alex__2265]

Not a fan of LAT but always been a fan of Sam. Was happy to see him finally get a ring. Was well deserved & long overdue.

[@bentocod]

How many fucking ads do they need to play

[@Josh_17]

Faze wasn’t a dynasty, change my mind.

[@z21plays67]

Octane if it was you you would have won mvp bro relax

[@OhhhMac]

If you talking abt major 4 he’s saying he wanted to win it for himself not that he won it bc no one else was playing good or something

[@jacobwatson8688]

Octane? Lol guess I’m not watching this episode

[@megadeth6756]

Ok then 😂

[@justinjahn8341]

Is it a requirement to be on 100T to have messed up teeth?

[@adamcogan211]

Wtf is wrong with you?

[@Predash051]

U must be a bad person for caring about something like someomes teeth. Guess ur the part of guy who always goes for the looks of a person or you are under 16 years old 🤣

[@raheel106]

@@Predash051 he made a joke lol relax. Pretty bad joke but still

[@justinjahn8341]

@@Predash051 poor dental hygiene can cause many problems, only looking out for Sammy boy

[@mpetty93]

Do you have perfect teeth? Like no cavities or anything.

[@detainium8797]

Lol what??? We shi on every other esport with personality????? There’s legit zero personality in cod wth we talking about 😂 u got crimsix and that’s about it … delusional
