[@A_DtheKing]

No lie this just my take but PRIESTAH is single handedly the most versatile player in the cdl era hands down and hes super underrated and underappreciated as a WINNER prolly the most weve ever seen in cod as far as bein underrated and shit . The dude hasnt been the best player on his teams pop off wise.. but he is a level headed , cool , very nice and professional person whos smart and knows how to enable his team to win. He has the most wins in the cdl , over the faze trio . He went from a entry smg , to a flex to a main ar and then back to a flex this year.. hes literally played every role there is to play and helped his team win an evern each different role.. multiple different teams at that.. How do you win 3/6 events on the year and drop a player whos won 1 event .... Thats insane to me idgad bout stats , yes sib has a higher upside but priestah does things in such an unselfish way. The way hes gettin done, and spoke about is absolutely criminal. Makes me think yall folks dont really know ball like that.. most yall not watchin or paying attention to what hes doin on the map .. or in the comms. .he centers them back in alot. Tells them to focus back up or hey kets oush this together or whatever. He does alot of shit rhat dont show on the scoreboard , and its bullshit they way teams keep doin this guy. All cuz hes not a super flashy player he gets the short end of the stick... Thats bs if you ask me .. i hope he goes to LAT or some shit and gets treated better for sure

Preach. We doing very unoptic things lately man. MWII was a roller-coaster, roster wise.

[@Flyhr]

People forget that Ghosty was averaging the most hill time in the league, hard to get a player to play that humble for a team. He averaged 87.5s in hill, 2nd most was Octane 81s. We all know Pred doesn't play hill and Shotzzy likes to roam around the map. Dashy can soak hill but he usually plays power positions outside of the hill. To me Kenny is equal to Priestahh in the league, both do what it takes to win, but to me Ghosty just did that the best so dropping him was stupid.

Wanna know why shottzy had inconsistencies? Its because he felt like he had to do everything at times.. if huke was off his game which was a lot as the year went on, Shotzzy seemed like he had to do too much to make up for the other guys. Getting Pred is the best case scenario for this optic team & most definitely the best compliment to shotzzy.. and with Dashy as one of the best AR players in the whole world, Kennys life will be made easy as another AR on the team.. Drazah would have never worked with OpTic because at the 1st sign of a bad game the fans would absolutely torch the poor guy. Pred clearly didnt want Sib or Sib would be on OpTic. So that leaves Kenny which is literally a blessing in disguise. Great Comms, Great Leadership, & proven winner. Love what OpTic has done this off-season.

[@kennynguyen5248]

Mw2019: Dashy got a bench due to his unwillingness to play and wanted to play with Huntsman. So yes, this was his fault for being a baby. Coldwar: Envoy didn't leave because of Dashy. It was because there wasn't a roster spot for him with the merger of Envy and Optic. Envoy did say why their season was unsuccessful due to (implied) dashy being late. Vanguard: Dashy did his best, but there was some discontent going on behind the scene, but it might have been stress or lack of focus due to illey injury. So who knows Mw2: This season was wild, but you can see that he has changed, and the rambo vs. dashy thing was all emotion being played. I think it's fine. We are watching Dashy grow before our eyes. Dashy was unfortunate to be on Optic because expectation is heavy, and that doesn't allow a person like dashy to grow smoothly.
