He Defs wasn’t the best but, all 4 of them we’re definitely the worst at times. Multiple maps you’d see another player chunking up bad maps but never really called out by pat especially assault
We got all the best version of Patrick Price in one episode. Troll pat, Roasting players that others won’t Pat, big brain pat, and GM Pat. People actually wanted this staple gone smh
Pat can be annoying when he leans too heavy into trolling but when he actually gives his thoughts like this flank he is S+ tier, that Gwinn Guy team would be really good
Ghosty to Boston would be a great move. I swear 99% of the cod community has wiped it from their minds that he was an smg in challengers dropping a 1.4 and changed his role to fill in with optic
The one weak spot we saw from snoopy (with very limited sample size) was his communication. With Dan on a sub he would have the most vocal smg in the league by his side, we saw the way it helped optic last year. If what you're saying is true and Dan is willing to run a smg you will get the very best out of snoopy this year I agree.
Pat is 100% right about risk taking btw. The benefit of taking a risk on challengers is way better than running it back with a veteran who is past their primes
Aches is actually spitting, all the remaining available subs are coming off mid performances. Might as well take the risk with players like Pentagram or Gwinn
For a little insight on Overwatch stuff yall should try to invite Super. He's a retired OWL tank and multiple time champion turned full-time streamer but is competing in the World Cup. He's been honest before ab the league and why it doesn't work and is definitely a colorful personality. Would be awesome to see him on for a little segment. Love the flank and been a Zoomafia member since AW keep it up man :)
I love Pat, he's always got a great take on shit, his take on the CDL and league rn is spot on. Challengers and Pros playing together would be a lot of content.
My roster predictions for the other 8 teams, taking into account rumors and where I think would make sense, also taking into account where players have been before (both successfully and failing): Boston add Mack Florida go Vikul and Spanish LAT - Ghosty x Temp x Afro x Nero Surge - Illey x Abuzah x Huke x Vivid (Rambo coach) Rokkr - Owakening x Accuracy x Standy x Hicksy Ravens do a weird washed roster - Cammy x Nastie x JoeDeceives x TJHaly LAG - Clay x Bance x Capsidal x Pentagram Vegas - Arcitys x GodRx x Attach x Asim So many players get hosed out of a spot and it makes me mad...the league needs to make like Slaya and BLOW IT UP
He definitely doesn’t need or deserve more love lol. Optic green wall fans knees hurt from sucking hecz so much. Would def like to hear from him about the roster tho once they finalize it that would be cool
and the COD scene is so entertaining too. COD esports would be #1 in the world if they actually had smart heads leading the League and games being developed.
I mean pat is right. He should really be a GM lmao. If your not the top 4 teams or have money to spend, why not try and go out and find the next unknown hydra, abezy, simp, kismet, etc…. No point of running it back w players like Cap, Clay, Nero, beans, etc…. whoever tf that you already know doesn’t win. And zooma just reading the brain dead chat about the 3 year deal was hilarious. Pats right there is no downside at all when ur already paying the min
I do really like Aches’ opinion on re-introducing online weekend tournaments with challengers involved, but something tells me the current pros could have too much ego to go hard in a weekend tournament that’s streamed from a bunch of povs.
Was watching and wondering what was bothering me the entire episode, and at 1:10:41 i realised i can’t see Chat. Im assuming its cause the overlay is new for 5 people but chat is necessary
aches just be chatting honestly … “joedecieves was smoking fools on a terrible team…” and alec arcitys was getting smoked on a terrible team and is still in the league 😭😭😭😭 what’re we saying here
this was hilarious to watch lol. there's four of them working on this list and it's still pretty cheeks. I've watched CDL for one year and mine's better and more accurate (focus on the team less than the org) check it out: top four teams: we know Boston - Slasher, Preistahh, Snoopy, Mack LAT - Clayster, Owakening, Standy, Capsidal LAG - Cammy, Nasty, JoeDeceives, Afro Rokkr - Accuracy, Temp, Huke, Hicksy Surge - Beans, Ghosty, Nero, TJHaly Mutineers - Brack, Attach, Vikul, Kremp Legion - Abuzah, Illey, Vivid, Havok London - Arcitys, GodRx, Bance, Asim
Pros always talk about how online cod is terrible. But as a viewer I literally wouldn't care. If there was a $50k online tournament with all the teams, I would 100% watch that
Definitely a lil beef towards draz I feel like. Seems like he is able to let it roll off his shoulders but his hesitation when they ask if they have beef w/ him makes it seem like it could be a bit testy.
Love the Gwinn guy squad bro! Gwinn, Ghosty God RX Abuzzah duo❤️that team would be fckn sweet! Especially if they put these guys on LA Thieves! These guys may just get together and blow it up because of all the potential and gwinn has played together before with god and Ghosty they are all friends so the chemistry would be great❤️
Octane fits like a glove into the flank, I hope he joins regularly. His insight into the inside workings of modern pro cod is a fantastic addition.
Octane has been a great addition to The Flank, I hope he is a permanent co-host
Preach
Sam in, haggy and Pat out. Show would go back to how good it was in CW
@@ryanbarton9970you're faded bud
@@ryanbarton9970nah. 5 man crew got it to be real, Avengers !!!
@@ryanbarton9970explain why
Great episode, the arguments, laughs, jokes, strays and roasts and of course Cocktane make for fun entertainment.
Cocktane has always been crazy to me
Bro wtf did I just read
Patt was comedy this flank. Also his rookie +Ghosty team was low key 🔥
Yup
That team would have such a high potential. Maybe by some miracle we’ll get to see it
1:59:27 Aches absolutely crucified Arcitys with that stray 💀
It’s not a stray… it’s fact
The only reason arcitys is getting a spot is bc of bo4 and cw.
He Defs wasn’t the best but, all 4 of them we’re definitely the worst at times. Multiple maps you’d see another player chunking up bad maps but never really called out by pat especially assault
This was so fucked😂😂😂
@@sted4276n he’s liked so people don’t want to talk bout how bad he’s been
We got all the best version of Patrick Price in one episode. Troll pat, Roasting players that others won’t Pat, big brain pat, and GM Pat. People actually wanted this staple gone smh
Pat cooking Arcitys had me crying 😂
so bad Arcitys gotta fight back 😭😭😭😭😭
😭😭😭😭
Pat can be annoying when he leans too heavy into trolling but when he actually gives his thoughts like this flank he is S+ tier, that Gwinn Guy team would be really good
Ghosty to Boston would be a great move. I swear 99% of the cod community has wiped it from their minds that he was an smg in challengers dropping a 1.4 and changed his role to fill in with optic
He was a sub? Thought he was a flex
@@Haidderispronah he ran smg and was nasty but was also able to run AR if he needed to and did when joining optic aka He changed his role to flex
The one weak spot we saw from snoopy (with very limited sample size) was his communication. With Dan on a sub he would have the most vocal smg in the league by his side, we saw the way it helped optic last year. If what you're saying is true and Dan is willing to run a smg you will get the very best out of snoopy this year I agree.
i always thought he was main ar in challengers. plus since he sniped in challengers
@@khurzyy5492 he may have been at some point but when optic picked him up, he was a smg
Pat is 100% right about risk taking btw. The benefit of taking a risk on challengers is way better than running it back with a veteran who is past their primes
Aches is actually spitting, all the remaining available subs are coming off mid performances. Might as well take the risk with players like Pentagram or Gwinn
“Alec was worst than jimbo when he wasn’t hacking” GOT ME DEAD 😂😂😂
Always take the optic offer folks
This flank was as chaotic as rostermania and I love it 😂😂😂
@1:38:28 Tom slyly putting Davpadie back on Florida and then THE REACTION killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Pat nailed it I fell in love with old format competitive cod
ive been away for weeks without internet coming back to all this content is gold. love it fellas
The ending to this episode was insane haha W stream
“He’s a Civilian” 😂😂😂 Octane is hilarious
Heard aches was cooking in this one 🗣️🌶️🔥
IF ACHES WATCHES MATCHES THIS YEAR, THE CONTENT WILL BE UNREAL WITH THESE 5
he never watches matches , even when he's live at the venue for majors he's on his phone 😭
Drop Ben
@TheQuickyouknow I think he'd be a great guest. However he gets very repetitive
I think its funnier that he doesnt even watch then completely dismantles a player like he did with alec
@@ayrebhalsabe7404like aches got dismantled year one of cdl lol
Aches needs to stay on the flank ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯
Love Pats segment about the format and league and what not. He’s awesome when he brings that intellect
Drazah gonna act like OpTic didn't pick up Pred!🤣🤣
Octane and Drazah !!!!! Welcome to Faze boys 🔥🔥🔥🔥😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 (Flank better have Sam everytime, Drazah the real flex AR we needed)
For a little insight on Overwatch stuff yall should try to invite Super. He's a retired OWL tank and multiple time champion turned full-time streamer but is competing in the World Cup. He's been honest before ab the league and why it doesn't work and is definitely a colorful personality. Would be awesome to see him on for a little segment. Love the flank and been a Zoomafia member since AW keep it up man :)
Alec was worst then jimbo not hacking.
- Patrick Price ‘Aches’ The Slayaaa 😂😂😂
Man I had to revisit this after OpTic won champs, the jokes write themselves 😭😭
Zoomaa your the goat bro. Flank cast is such a good mix. They deserve more recognition💯☝🏾 great episode again.
Aches is the only reason I watched all the way thru🤣🤣 and he didn't disappoint.. "he played worse then jimbo when he wasn't cheating" lmaoooo
Drazah's villain arc has begun
Just begun? The mama been a villain he’s peaking as we speak lol
Evolved*
Dudes the softest villain alive
@@KG66610true he’ll never hit Aches level of villain
@@KG66610 they’re gamers not gangsters 😐
this is easily one of the best episodes
I like octane on the flank
I love Pat, he's always got a great take on shit, his take on the CDL and league rn is spot on. Challengers and Pros playing together would be a lot of content.
“we’re building a Openhiemer right now …” 😂😂😂😂 “christopher nolan’s roster” 😂😂😂😂
W teams W flank, love the “gwinn guys” as well
My roster predictions for the other 8 teams, taking into account rumors and where I think would make sense, also taking into account where players have been before (both successfully and failing):
Boston add Mack
Florida go Vikul and Spanish
LAT - Ghosty x Temp x Afro x Nero
Surge - Illey x Abuzah x Huke x Vivid (Rambo coach)
Rokkr - Owakening x Accuracy x Standy x Hicksy
Ravens do a weird washed roster - Cammy x Nastie x JoeDeceives x TJHaly
LAG - Clay x Bance x Capsidal x Pentagram
Vegas - Arcitys x GodRx x Attach x Asim
So many players get hosed out of a spot and it makes me mad...the league needs to make like Slaya and BLOW IT UP
44:00 TH-cam wipes twitch in all aspects tbh 😂😂😂😂 not being able to pause or rewind in 2023 is unacceptable
Bros someone at activision need to hire Pat to redesign the league. His takes on what the leagues needs to be is perfection.
Huge fan of MLG 2k and 5k weekends and pro point tournaments were so foundational to the scene!
Gwinn, Abuzah, Ghosty, and lynz. Coached by Slaya patrick to win champs .
the slaya laughing behind that SpongeBob meme is so sinister
Goated flank lineup right now 😂 loving the show even more since octane joined
Temp, Illey, Nero and Standy would be a nasty roster for Vegas imo
Love having Octane in
the stretch of time from octane saying we are making the Oppenheimer rn to zoomaa putting Dave paddie on the mutineers is pure fkn comedy
Drazah better lean in to this heel persona he built. The f-u drazah chants are gonna be wild on Lan this year
Aches deep frying Arcity was peak flank
horsed em
Thank god Vancouver finally has a team imma be turning up in the crowd once they host a LAN
as a canadian whos already dedicated to toronto idk if i can change
Amazing Flank. +Octane is a W.
rANDOM THOUGHT.... WILL ZOOMAA EVER HAVE OPTIC HECZ GUEST IN A EPISODE. DUDE IS A LEGEND, HECZ IS A ONE OF ONE KINDA GUY, DESERVES MORE LOVE
I only remember one time Hecz was a guest and that was when EnVy and OpTic merged
He definitely doesn’t need or deserve more love lol. Optic green wall fans knees hurt from sucking hecz so much. Would def like to hear from him about the roster tho once they finalize it that would be cool
@@Foggycallabasashillshelicopter Holy shit you love OpTic fans.
Nero to partner with Snoopy would be best move for a consistent SMG who can also absolutely fry and make this team secure number 5
Watching RLCS and ALGS running their leagues vs watching CDL run their league is stifling
and the COD scene is so entertaining too. COD esports would be #1 in the world if they actually had smart heads leading the League and games being developed.
nah u faded as someone who loves apex comp Their lan events are terrible
RLCS worlds next month too.
@@MartinAlvarez-cq1kw at least their lan events are actually on lan and arent still played online at the venue.

Not to mention people hacking in Challengers
octane better be getting a contract for the flank
Was watching and wondering what was bothering me the entire episode, and at 1:10:41 i realised i can’t see Chat. Im assuming its cause the overlay is new for 5 people but chat is necessary
I love Octane hes brilliant! my kinda funny!
Lmfao bruh aches is comedy 😂❤
aches just be chatting honestly … “joedecieves was smoking fools on a terrible team…” and alec arcitys was getting smoked on a terrible team and is still in the league 😭😭😭😭 what’re we saying here
Yeha and assault was also pretty bad most of the time but he never gets called out
Not saying alec played well
That is pretty straight forward. Alec was ass but is still in the league while joe was good but isnt
Alec was the worst on that team which is crazy to say
Mw2 tourny with the new rosters. Just to see what it would have been like if faze, optic and ultra play with their new rosters
best ep lowkey
Everyone in the chat was so heated faze 1-12 against optic but faze doesn’t choke in the big games optic just wasn’t there to compete in them
Amazing ep
Pat was spitting ngl. It’s true Alec is only still in the league because of that FaZe team and because he’s a vet. GodRx deserves that spot 100%
Latest flank episode (like >5 minutes ago) octane says he wants to do this again for this upcoming season (2025)
Holllyyyyy Chris parasite has the craziest fade😂😂😂😂😂
chris got that 4k quality light skin ass haircut in a new era
When did Breach drop Beans??
Envoy is GOATED Ultra about to be nasty
Prolly got another three flanks talking about the same roster moves
Aches young gun team sounds hella exciting tho id watch them over any of the other teams outside top 4
Talent attracts talent.
Hicksy needs to get on Boston. I think he would be a solid fit for Snoopy, has great comms, and has experience winning in the CDL
Loved this episode guys!! Gwinn guys 2024 World Champions!!!
Been playing old mw2 on console servers are popping for Australia 🇦🇺 so happy they’ve done this
Pat is 100% right about LAT, you don’t need the veteran culture when you have that coaching staff imho.
optic is gonna run faze still, shotzzy is the tiny terrors killer, and now he has pred by his side instead of 0.6 huke, it’s over lmao 🔥
Drazah. Now officially the most hated man in cod for years to come
And I love it. Faze up
draz was already the most hated player in the cdl
Flank intro song iconic af.
U cant leave Reece Vivid off of a team..he is toooo fire
Joe was tied for most 1v4 aces in the season, he literally carried LAG and they were holding him back frfr
not having clay on a roster is crazy lmao
great episode tho, shit was hilarious.
Drazah always sounds so unsure of himself
Aches was spitting facts at 29:14
this was hilarious to watch lol. there's four of them working on this list and it's still pretty cheeks. I've watched CDL for one year and mine's better and more accurate (focus on the team less than the org) check it out:
top four teams: we know
Boston - Slasher, Preistahh, Snoopy, Mack
LAT - Clayster, Owakening, Standy, Capsidal
LAG - Cammy, Nasty, JoeDeceives, Afro
Rokkr - Accuracy, Temp, Huke, Hicksy
Surge - Beans, Ghosty, Nero, TJHaly
Mutineers - Brack, Attach, Vikul, Kremp
Legion - Abuzah, Illey, Vivid, Havok
London - Arcitys, GodRx, Bance, Asim
Aches was on point this whole flank
Pros always talk about how online cod is terrible. But as a viewer I literally wouldn't care. If there was a $50k online tournament with all the teams, I would 100% watch that
Yes love these long flanks!
What does illey do other than spit comms though like not being funny but I can’t remember him being a big obj player either
Haggy was cooking
Vikul seemed nasty towards the end of the year, surprised the Flank not giving him any looks
I care about every OpTic match whether it be online or not, but all the different formats discussed sound fire
Is Parasite flexing on us with those Meze
The huke disrespect is crazy. Didn’t even mention the kid
Definitely a lil beef towards draz I feel like. Seems like he is able to let it roll off his shoulders but his hesitation when they ask if they have beef w/ him makes it seem like it could be a bit testy.
Love the Gwinn guy squad bro! Gwinn, Ghosty God RX Abuzzah duo❤️that team would be fckn sweet! Especially if they put these guys on LA Thieves! These guys may just get together and blow it up because of all the potential and gwinn has played together before with god and Ghosty they are all friends so the chemistry would be great❤️
If the CDL still needs a “league” model to produce, use an iteration of F1’s scoring system using online weekend tourneys
Drazah going to faze is like when KD went to the warriors.
idk how 😂😂😂😂 Scarppy going to NY would be that. This more like maybe Ray Allen joining the Heat after Cs but it’s “can’t beat em join em”
KD actually won the ring 😂😂😂
He might have joined FaZe but he’s still going home to Keeks
