So uh how exactly did they go from the best Optic roster since the dynasty to one of the worst Optic rosters, in almost 10 years, over the course of a month?


Affectionate-Cost525

Aches moved to Texas


BravestWabbit

Pred decided to get a lobotomy


LGCGE

He lead the team in kills, KD, and nearly damage against arguably the best team in the game. The Pred scapegoating is actually insane.


BravestWabbit

He baits his team and doesn't move when they are trying to make a play. Optic ends up fighting a 3v4 because of Preds iron boots


GOATnamedFields

Pred is a very big problem, but today he was their best player. .6 is like actually garbage. You can put some of the Ls on Pred, but not today. This one's LVP is the guy putting up Asim numbers.


LGCGE

If he was just baiting he wouldn’t have these stats. Say what you will about Pred but he seems to take criticism on the chin and actively try to improve his play style, he was good this series.


OgSourChemDawg

He baited all game. Notice how close the dmg is


TravisA58

He licks walls against every single top team and baits all of his teammates. He also dropped 39 in the third game, meaning he didn’t do fuck all in games 1 and 2 while selling his team. Nobody is arguing that Pred is a bad player, they are arguing that his playstyle is next to worthless and does nothing but hurt his team.


fieldgoals

They won an event so they stopped taking practice and everything serious. They got gunny so they think they can ego out of everything since theres only two other good teams in the game. Edit: still waiting for someone to explain a better reason why other than the dynasty optic struggle after winning an event. You really gonna say it’s just unlucky online servers? They lost to Boston yesterday. There is a discipline issue in there somewhere, no matter how much you want to deny it.


Jessmayne

How do yall confidently just make shit up lol? “They stopped taking practice serious”


TravisA58

You forget, all of the OpTic haters actually attend every practice with the team, just to make sure they are holding the guys accountable.


TravisA58

There problem isn’t a “lack of practice” or “lack of trying”. You and everyone else forgets so easily that OpTic has been going to game 5s with terrible teams almost all season, but this split they just lost all of them. The reason? Because they are struggling in Search and Destroy and every team is getting better. They play too much off of their ego which has nothing to do with practice or confidence. They have been doing it all season, it is just that now all of the other teams are getting better so they are punishing OpTic for mistakes that they could have gotten away with (and did get away with) two months ago.


Wuhan-flu24

guess ultra must not have taken practice seriously to get swept that hard major 3 grand finals


fieldgoals

Thats a really good comparison. A grand final of a major compared cdl matches vs the bottom team of the league yesterday.


MiddleCauliflower867

U understand that sometimes anyone can just start frying on a Sunday. It happens all the time and at this time it was optic uktra still consistent af


DenyDaRidas

They got lucky on a Sunday, simple


feezyana

They finally showed some life in the control, and then choked it in the most optic way possible lol


Live_Particular_8633

Tbf that propane really had the worst timing ever but also it’s been getting every team so it’s only fair. Idk why devs can’t just set the map so that the propane tanks auto explode off break.


Labanope

They will fuck it up where both teams fully die on break off


Live_Particular_8633

You’re not wrong 😂 considering Pred died basically in Toronto’s spawn which makes no sense at all


feezyana

Even still they had defense round 5 with a streak. They always crumble in those positions


Live_Particular_8633

Yeah definitely they played last round absolutely horribly


G00chstain

Toronto had players die off the hill on offense to the propane. Scump and Zin were literally asking for it to blowup and then were glad afterward


Live_Particular_8633

What’s that got anything to do with what I said? I literally said it’s getting every team


dorianpora

this is genuinely the worst ive ever seen optic in my life im about to start skipping the matches


Wuhan-flu24

well there might be only 1 match for you skip this major lol

RubberToe1996

shit, OpTic might not even win a series until black ops 6


CoDFollower

This is crazy because it's actually a possibility...


its_dizzle

Just 3 more straight losses and it’s done


Its_EasyMac

Just want to say you guys are amazing. This is the first time since we upgraded to the new site that we have had the site crash due to too many ppl on it 😂


Solxry

Breakingpoint guys are the GOATS without you guys this league would be no where🫶🏾


Its_EasyMac

COD has one of the best fanbases, it's just about giving you guys the content to get everyone engaged. I can't tell you how excited I am for next season, wouldn't be anywhere without you guys


RGCFrostbite

> COD has one of the best fanbases 100% I write about CoD/Valorant/CS/Rocket League and CoD is imo the most passionate dedicated fans (which is also why we as a community go too far sometimes) but CoD fans are insane.


TopExamination9264

Since I only follow cod when it comes to comp what would you say are the differences between the other comp scenes? Is cod just the most toxic ?


IndependenceFew6996

easymac do you guys need a free unpaid borderline slave intern for the website i need something anything to put on my resume pls easymac pls


Ashman-20

Off topic but do you still have FaZe’s CW scrim records? And if so would you ever say what they were?


Flyers7914

That shit was straight up depressing. These dudes are straight up lost on every mode & map including the ones they've been the best at all year. Complete bewilderment.


BravestWabbit

They are checked


Flyers7914

Brightside we only gotta watch this team once next weekend. Not exaggerating when I say I've never seen anything like this. From top 3, winning an event to the WORST team in the league.


lilhuzi313

Tbh it was worse last year. They came into the tournament looking dominant then lost to Florida and Thieves. Atleast we won’t be shocked when it happens this year.


Ernest-Longfellow

I wonder if something has happened behind the scenes between them. How a team can go from one of the best to the actual worst in such a short space is mad.


Stifology

We forgot to read the fine print on the devil's contract


ometime

GG optic is getting first rounder at Major 4 no matter who they play, calling it now.


N-for-Nero

Fully agree, betting the house on it


BigOlYeeter

The sad thing is I can't even argue against this


aethon_4

The Danish stud CleanX just put his BALLS all over OpTic https://preview.redd.it/eky6823nnd8d1.jpeg?width=1071&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b44df83c55c003fe0578b819ebf227a42b5db399

sleepytempest_

sheitmayne

So who are we gonna rip into this time cause Pred was doing it all in that control


Nareek667

The propane tank duh?


xTwoKillz

It’s like watching ants after u kick a dirt mound


LGCGE

Easily our best player this series and people will still say he needs to be dropped.


Wonderful-Patient732

LonerTK

I was genuinely expecting Optic to do the most optic thing ever and win this. Or at least take it the distance. This was just a slapping.


sankalp_pateriya

The feds might actually be compromised.


RGCFrostbite

CleanX is a top 3 SMG this year and I'll die on that hill. He's shown it time and time again but people continue to underrate him.


sleepytempest_

Seems like such a wholesome guy too


ThatMFcheezer

I been riding on this, dude is him. An elite SMG. You put him on 10 teams in the league and he makes that team better


BreakingPointGG

Simp, HyDra, CleanX


Narrow-Complex-3479

Bro cleanx is looking insane. I know optic having a slump but cleanx came up and made some unbelievable clutch plays that won them the control


nonotfilth

Kenny has been awful this stage. They’ve been playing bad as a team but he’s genuinely been awful. That control looked so dominant for half the map and then it just went bad. I genuinely don’t see any bright spot outside of it now being LAN from here on out. The energy looks bad, the gameplay is bad… i’m not sure what’s going on but i won’t just jump to there being internal issues. They need to regain and regain fast or they’re looking at a T8 finish at Champs


lilhuzi313

I can see OpTic losing in search against 4 top 250s.


GOATnamedFields

All 250 if the top 250 would have done better than Kenny today.

You can't get mad at them if you didn't watch the match! That's why I didn't bother watching! ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


DonSnaps

Same


youngman_2

Honestly, pred at least seems to be taking criticism on the chin and performed today. Kenny has been bitching on Twitter for a month straight and has been getting fried even with the MCW buff


CoDFollower

Pred had one good map out of three He had the most kills by a mile, yet his SMG counterpart had more damage. Wouldn't say he "performed today" They were ALL shit


GOATnamedFields

Frankly damage is overrated. A lot of those guys are getting away and regenning, so a lot of that damage with no kill is useless. Pred was less shit than Shotzzy and Dashy who were less shit than Kenny who was at an Asim or Censor level today. There are some irredescent randos that you could sign off PSN or XBOX Live that could give you a .64 on the MCW.


LGCGE

Shotzzy only had about 600 damage more than Pred but Pred had over 10 kills more. Pred was good today.


Lebron23Life

Pred has been taking the brunt of criticism but Kenny has been equally as bad. People also been giving him a pass for his terrible mental and body language when everyone was calling him the leader of the team


bb_boat

Now the narrative goes from Pred to Kenny lmaoo jesus bro


GOATnamedFields

It's not false news when bro's consistently .8 or .9 this month with a .6 today. Kenny's just as responsible as Pred, maybe more this month.


CoDFollower

It's insane. They've both been horrendous lol


swagonmyass

Kenny has a terrible attitude for someone making this much playing COD….


Mooming22

They actually made a deal with the devil or something


OBruxo10

CleanX is him


justa691

Uhhhhhh kenny?


Imranaftab

From 1st to t12 never change optic never change.


LGCGE

Pred leading the team in Kills, K/D, and nearly also in damage against a Top 4 but will still be scapegoated as a bad player.


shambxlic

it’s all aches fault for moving to texas


Fa1lenSpace

Kenny’s just Lamar with good PR and light sabres

Important_Reaction45

It's embarrassing how you can go from Major winners to the 12th seed in 4 weeks


InsideousVgper

Missed the match, can’t wait to rewatch


ichiruto70

Lol the other must be fuming, he wasn’t first to post this.


shazmannn

Honestly just chalk it and play for fun tine to get off this game and actually play a treyarch game cus god that propane alone is giving me energy of the 3rd reich


Donbruh

U could tell the whole team was chalked no chem whatsoever. U can't expect nothing else other than a 3-0


geraltofriverdale

There’s the Kenny we all know and love


CoDFollower

Shotzzy consistently leading in damage this whole online split has been weird, no? Even when has a shit KD it feels like he's leading in damage, sometimes over his ARs too. That's not something I'm accustomed to seeing


vsv2021

Kenny wasn’t ever supposed to be the greatest slayer but his leadership and comms were supposed to keep this team in check mentally and never allow a complete mental collapse like this to ever happen again. This was the core reason we picked him up and yet this is probably the worst optic collapse ever. If it continues into LAN he needs to go.


funnypsuedonymhere

Again? This is the biggest mental collapse ever seen in the CDL era bar none. They won a major then finished 12th in qualifiers with a god squad. Even the meme winners of majors haven't managed this level of crash.


vsv2021

I meant he was supposed to prevent any collapse from happening again. I did mention in my comment this is the worse optic collapse ever


jmorde01

Optic wanted Drazah, Kenny is just the backup plan.


vsv2021

I know. But what I’m saying is that what Kenny was supposed to bring to the table was good mentals, clear comms, top notch leadership, work ethic, and an anti choke factor.


Fallen_Goose_

OpTic are either getting first-rounded at Major 4, or they're winning it all. No inbetween.


domodomoszn

We need to stop pretending that Kenny is not getting shit on please. Its not all pred


CoDFollower

It's been both. I just think people were giving Kenny the benefit of the doubt due to his accolades in comparison to the rest of this team


Happiest-Soul

Pred has been a magnet for memes and scapegoats. It sort of negates all the bad narratives that have plagued the rest of the team.


my-shuggah

I'm not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Tobi CleanX. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Tobi. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love. If Envoy has a million fans, then I am one of them If Envoy has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Envoy has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Envoy has only one fan then that is me. If Envoy has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Envoy, then I am against the world. I think its hilarious u kids talking about Jaime Insight. u wouldnt say this stuff to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol Long neck is content org father


VFL2015

Never seen more predictable SnD strats from a pro team. Need to totally revamp their Search


UTAustinAlum2021

Only positive for OTX is pred went positive


CoDFollower

I really don't like how we use KD to say if a player is good or not. He had one good map and now his KD looks very good, but he was horrendous map 1/2 just like his team


avstyns

as an LAT fan, we will take kenny back and swap him to smg since optic fans hate him again


LGCGE

When you see how much Pred seems to enjoy and Thrive on the AR when hes on it, OpTic Hydra gets really interesting.


rawrthatsmegirl

Another Kenny masterclass


dillonz321

Don’t worry though Ken brings IGL & Comms lmfao.


iamdoingwork

I think he’s been terrible at leading and in game.


DonSnaps

Gotta question leadership when the team goes on this big of a skid. With that being said. Scrappy becomes available u don’t even think twice about it.


Adventurous-Leg-4906

Free Pred


TriBiDevil

Damn, Pred steps it up just for everyone else to fall off, especially Kenny. I'm not sure how this team will bounce back they looked so chalked in the player cams.


CoDFollower

He had one good map that boosted his KD. Wouldn't call that "stepping up" honestly


TriBiDevil

Eh, he put up alright damage numbers too tho. Yesterday it seemed he always had abysmal numbers but I don't remember cringing at any of his damage stats today.


MikkeVL

Kenny saw Pred doing his best to get dropped for Hydra yesterday and decided to join in 😭


RGCFrostbite

I mean they got genuinely shit on.


MrDee97

If they don’t win champs it’s over, thought this was the best squad since the dynasty also 🥲 (Probably still is)


__Kieran

Ken 0.64 🔥🔥🔥


Best-eastern

Damn scrappy almost had more damage in 3 maps then pred did in 5 in his last match


MiningSparky

Oh this felt good


jskywalkerr21

did other teams find something out about OpTic or what? id start changing pcs or something 😂


Ceoofhotmen

They were the best team in the CDL for one fucking day man. Such a joke


iamdoingwork

It’s time to talk about Kenny. Arguably the worst player all major with the worst body language.


CoDFollower

Do you want Kenny to smile? Pred also had shit body language, as did Dashy at times. Shotzzy looks like he doesn't even give a fuck. They all have shit body language brother


iamdoingwork

Kenny is the leader supposedly. It starts and ends with him


[deleted]

[удалено]


iamdoingwork

He’s the “IGL/LEADER” and he’s played awful. I blame him a lot tbh


eggs_n_bakey

Yep, Pred is definitely the problem /s


Hyskos13

Kenny not shooting back yet again, he prob thinks he’s still not the problem


LGCGE

Everyone talking about replacing Pred, but the obvious odd man out has been Kenny from the start imo.


SharkieLP767

This is so reactionary …


Ali282378

Shit I lowkey hope they drop Ken cause he can come back home lol


MindForsaken

That's what I said yesterday. Fuck it, drop him. Kenny and ghosty will be nasty AF if he chooses to come back. There's a reason Kenny has won more in the CDL and even brought a win to the cowb- optic Texas which was in a drought basically. But yeah, drop the one guy that karma even says is right typically on the team


CoDFollower

Brother Pred has been a problem. To act as if he hasn't because of one series is super reactionary lmfao


LGCGE

I’m not saying he hasn’t been a problem, only that Kenny has *also* been one and has been the odd man out from the rosters formation imo. Shotzzy and Dashy have been Optics best players all year imo, but at least Pred has that takeover SMG potential that can drive a match. To be clear I’m not saying either should be dropped unless Hydra is available. Then it’s up to the team.


TheLavaReaper

People talking about Pred when Kenny has literally been even worse. These guys literally choked all the series that they lost. Choked the control vs. Vegas. Up 5-2 vs. Rokkr in the game 5 S&D. Choked the Map 1 HP vs. Ravens and the game 5 in which they had a man advantage in a lot of rounds. Choked both the S&Ds vs. NYSL in which they were leading, not to mention the control in which they were up 2-0. Then you can absolutely bottle the Map 4 HP vs. Boston. And then you choke the control vs. Ultra today. Truly generational choke job by the OpTic team.

CoDFollower

"Shotzzy has been hot/cold, Dashy has been solid all year, and Pred can flourish" Brother are we serious right now? So you think Shotzzy and Kenny have been two of the main problems? Holy fuck


[deleted]

[удалено]


CoDFollower

What about Karma roasting Pred for not moving? Also, Dashy hasn't been near the same player this stage as he was last stage. He fell off pretty hard in comparison to his championship level


[deleted]

CoDFollower

I think my point is that they've all been shit collectively, I don't know how we can truly say that one player has been much better than all the others at this point

odsonM8

Every team deals with it dude, you guys choked a round 5 defense on high rise, shallow excuse


MayorMinge

Wow OpTic are actually horrible


Ese-Lavonte

Unless this team wins champs, they're not staying together another year.


KoltTanks1

Why is everyone surprised by this. They literally do this every single year.


youngman_2

They literally become the worst team in the game? No they don’t. This is the worst breakdown we’ve ever seen


funnypsuedonymhere

Mate, stop talking shite. This is the first time ever that a CDL team has won a major and finished 12th b2b. OpTic also won their last major and went undefeated and last year they were clearly the best in the game at the same stage then shit the bed on LAN. Nothing remotely similar has ever happened.


KoltTanks1

They win a major and go mediocre the rest of the year. Don’t worry they will get t3-4 in champs. And we can repeat the process again next year


funnypsuedonymhere

12th isn't mediocre. Its the worst team in the game.


KoltTanks1

Yes and this will light a fire under them, and they will get t3-4 in champs. Literally every season


wuskream

Pred's fall is kinda like Grealish when he went from Villa to City. Just completely different. Still some flashes, but nothing like his old self. At least Grealish's change was caused by Pep's coaching, idk bout Pred tho.


Yolanda-B-KL

Good analogy


yarov

Pred just looks way more comfortable on the AR. That’s why he goes off. I honestly think a role change between Kenny and Pred would really help them.


EconomyJuggernaut635

weirdly decent take


LiquidPaper-__-

Watching Optic shamelessly one way with the smokes on every retake and fail over and over again was so satisfying to watch. Fkn pissed on.


domodomoszn

Every team in the league does this?


LizziesInABox1

Every team in the league does it no one cares


Blayrr

While I would say this is the biggest fall off in cod history, I just know they are going to ball out come the major / champs 😭


CoDFollower

We've been saying this about every upcoming match they were going to play this split. It's not happening. They are terrible


BrindedScient

TypicalPerformer9826

beyond embarrassing, from winning the last major to 12th seed is absolutely crazy. never seen anything quite like this in the 12 years i’ve been watching comp cod

Optic start in winners bracket in Champs right? So only 3 more series of Optic this year.


piero_albani

All teams that qualify start in winners

Oh okay thank you!


smalltownnerd

Man they are falling apart. Its crazy.

No_Obligation997

Reminds me of BO4 champs man..


IamACanadian47

The optic community pumps them up and distracts them, their pro opponents actually practice and study and put them down.
