I hate this argument they won like 20 championships, and were the best team for 3 seasons. If champs was at the end of the year like its nowadays and it was their last year together they would have won 3 rings and it would be undiputed.
BO3 really was the peak for comp cod. The gameplay was incredible, specialists added a second dimension. Ban and protect made the meta constantly change and made pros think on their feet, the casters had real personalities and passion, the CWL production was spot on, the storylines were better than ever, GB’s we’re thriving, league play was good. Prime example of you don’t know your in the moment till it’s a memory man. A perfect storm that will never be recreated.
@@RealAusHiphop BO2 was also a great game, no doubt, but stil, the action of the jetpack on AW was amazing... BO3 a great game but imo not so impactfull...
Formal's movement at 1:06:29 is one of the most impressive plays in CoD history. I honestly don't know how anyone is expected to land shots on that lmao
I noticed an editing mistake; just wanted to highlight it in case you gentlemen feel inspired to make the correction, re-export, and re-upload the 90-minute video 😂 Around 42:36 there's a second layer of audio that starts playing on top of the intended gameplay and commentary - it's a postgame interview with Clayster from earlier in the video. Easy thing to miss in editing. Fantastic video! I'm glad we have people like y'all to help document and keep the rich history of competitive COD alive ❤
Damon is hands down the mvp, he saved them from so many close calls and put the team on his back and won so many uneven match ups. He was always the last one alive and seemed like the sturdiest member of the team. Mad respect for this man he was the hardest one of them all.
whoever made this vid. well done. holy fuck. i just relived my teenage years in an hour and 20. smiled the whole fuckin time and nothing but nostalgia came to me. great fuckin job this vid is art at its finest. #greenwall #brickbybrick
Bro you see slasher is almost in all those finals. I’m so glad I got to see all of this history through the years. It was amazing. The dynasty is the best cod team that ever existed
The way Dashy was for them this year to win this championship ring is very reminiscent of Karma that year and his clutch factor. You just knew in every big moment this year Dashy was getting that 1vx
It still blows my mind that we got to play these titles from 2015-2017. Truly sad how many steps Call of Duty has taken backwards since. We’ll get back to where we’re supposed to be someday💔
And this was so well made. Props to whoever spent all the time to not only get all this VOD but to put it in chronological order & edit it too. You are the real MVP.
Can you do a video/documentary on the black ops 3 competitive scene? It was so unique with its bans/keeps system and 30+ team tournament formats. I feel for those who haven’t experienced it live bc it really was goated for competitive COD
there was nothing like coming home from school watching the streams on mlg playing clan wars on AW and watching tournaments every weekend absolute peak life
Fantastic job on this! I wasn't in to competitive COD till that last year of the Dynasty. I've gone back and watched all the older years, but seeing it done as a movie/documentary, was awesome.
The great thing about this team though was not only and dynasty was that all of them were winning and grinding out content too. Not only that the winnings and money was a fraction it was now so they had to make the content but bc of that I think it helped a lot of us feel like we knew them more and want to watch them more. For me though I found their content during a time I was struggling mentally and their content was a huge part of what kept me positive and also helped me find a community that I could really be a part of. They are so much more than a COD dynasty to a lot of us!❤❤❤
@@shafialanower3820 different game, different time, different team. Kenny's nasty but can he be what Damon was to the dynasty? That mixed with the other boys keeping up even if Kenny stays gross
to even compare the new optic team with the old one is a disgrace. all 4 old playeres were champs and super talented. the new team is nowhere near that. they might be the third our fourth best team in the cdl.
Absolutely brilliant, tacticalrab did a fantastic job as always, amazing to relive this story, the golden age of cod (imo, not even an optic fan still)
CWL Dallas 2017 Final Map is my fav moment watching OpTic at any event. Karma single handedly ended the tournament. Just an unbelievably goated shut down.
6:25 I miss this Scumpii. He was so much more humble and down to earth then. Thats crazy to say because we thought he had a huge head 10 years ago. Bring him back Seth.
AW is one of the best Call of Duty’s of all time… Not only was it one of the best COD’s to watch competitively, but the skill gap in this game was so high. Watching events was SO MUCH fun.
So good! Advice: When doing these longer documentaries, maybe put up a small text box at the top or bottom saying what game/year is being played. For the noobs that may forget while watching, AW/BO3/IW can all look a bit similar and even I had to check myself a couple of times to remember what game I was watching. Other than that, expertly done! Right and proper recap of this dynasty. GGs Rab and company!!!
I hated how nade was the scapegoat. If anything, he was the GOAT, not in terms of skills or wins, but growing COD like nobody else. I bet, if he stayed on optic, they would have had the same success that next year
Cod esports for the last few years really hasn't had the same aura/personality as the old days Recently it's been a bit better but man, I hope the next era of cod is like this again
I don't think there ever be dynasties such as Complexity or OpTic Gaming. With the way the Call of Duty League is right now, it'll be so hard to find a consistent dynasty like OpTic or Complexity.
Wow Goose bumps!! What a ride it’s been! I’m proud to say I’ve been here with the #Greenwall since the beginning. All the ups and downs, highs and lows I wouldn’t have changed a thing! This is a masterclass Rab!! Well done!
It’s crazy how they are considered “the best call of duty team in history” but only won 1 world championship. Not saying they are overrated because they won many more tournaments together but people only care about 1 and that’s champs.
This team has the most championships, the top four players in championships won are the four dudes on that optic team, and a world championship to boot.
This is a moronic statement. What sets Champs apart from any other tournament besides a bigger prize pool? Back in the day when they had qualifiers and people really did have to earn their way to champs it meant a lot more. Nowadays all they do is cut out the 4 worst teams 😂
Basically what an unhealthy lifestyle does to you. karma is still young. he needs to start eating clean and hit the gym maybe. i mean scump started eating healthy and he looks so much better.
@shoopSAUCE it was clearly an exaggeration, but the fact still stands that the difference in appearance is shocking, I'm jit trolling or trying to provoke people, it's just facts and sad to see, I'm not gay but Damon was a good looking kid back then now he looks ill, i don't know what's contributed to damons glowdown but he's certainly had one that's for sure, all love just shocked he looks so different compared to then
I'm so glad I grew up in/watching this era of COD!
Same
just the 2ks alone were miles better than anything today. what a shame we used to have tournies every other week smh
CDL has ruined comp CoD and it doesn’t help either that the games they have put out since MW2019 are garbage
Facts bro advanced warfare and bo3 I was proper comp player
One hell of a documentary. Whether you’re part of the green wall or not it’s an absolute must watch!!
The greatest team in Call of Duty history.

wut you have my profile picture
It’s incredible getting to see and hear everyone’s perspective with everything that happened years after the dust has settled
I never watched Cod until the past few years. Heard a lot about the “Optic dynasty” but I never imagined the story would be as amazing as this😍
Crazy seeing "old" clips from pro CoD and seeing better production quality
And better gameplay lol

I liked iw for comp
My generation man what a moment in time this was . Greatest team of all time & as an OpTic fan going thru this rollercoaster was fantastic 🥹💚
People forget how fucking clutch Damon was. Man when the chips were down the man turned the fuck upppppp and that’s why to me he’s the goat
Mandatory for new COD fans to watch this & witness greatness
This was beautifully put together. Fantastic stuff. This is what cod needs
No other cod can beat AW and AW era...what a great game and a great time to watch cod....!!!!!!

This is by far the best one yet. Mam I miss these days so much. Bit I'm still here let's go OpTic!!!
So many of these insane clutches throughout this whole video were done by Karma. Dude is absolutely insane. I hear his name more than anyone else 🔥

The fact that enable could come in a win back to back with these 3, it’s easy to understand how dominant they would be with DB3

I need this documentary but even earlier. Give me Big Tymer
The one match I will never forget is the amateur team Enigma 6 vs OpTiC Gaming, that CTF game was wild
AW is one of the best Call of Duty’s of all time… Not only was it one of the best COD’s to watch competitively, but the skill gap in this game was so high. Watching events was SO MUCH fun.

Quite cool seeing them win all the trophies I’ve always seen in the background of there videos or streams.
Great video ❤️❤️ crazy how times flies 😭
Wow love the nostalgia also it reminded us of how great advanced warfare 2 was.
One of my fav vids ever, very well put together. Love this team more than any sports team I cheer for..
First cod match I ever watched was OpTic losing to that FaZe team the first time in AW. Been a cod fan ever since.
The greatest of documentaries for the greatest of Cod teams.
Get the popcorn ready.
"KARMA YOUR THE BEST EVER !!!" -courage jd... smartest thing courage has ever said 😅
AMAZING VIDEO I was talking about the OpTic dynasty with my friends and for this video to come out it perfect
I actually feel so bad for zoomaa that his prime was during the optic dynasty. Thats rough
People forget how fucking clutch Damon was. Man when the chips were down the man turned the fuck upppppp and that’s why to me he’s the goat
Man I would do anything to get Uplink back in the competitive scene. Such a slept on game mode.
That round 11 against Panda was the biggest what if in call of duty history
love the vid, is there an audio problem around 42 minutes or are im crazy i hear clay talking about aw
pure nostalgia glad i saw all this in the moment
I hated how nade was the scapegoat. If anything, he was the GOAT, not in terms of skills or wins, but growing COD like nobody else. I bet, if he stayed on optic, they would have had the same success that next year
best team to ever walk through the cdl it hurted watching their last match together in WW2
Man I miss these days
Fantastic documentary
ah watching those events live at home on weekends were the best growing up! the cods were fun and SO competitive
As an adult COD championships became, for me, the best form of entertainment i ever had, besides my Job as a music producer.
There’s a audio glitch at 42:39 - 43:03 you can hear the commentary for black Ops 3 and Claysters interview on AW
karma, c6, Formal and Scump best Optic Team of History
I ate slept and breathed cod AW and bo3 I miss those days when cod was fun to play and watch
What a time to be alive during this Era. Peak COD
Formal went ROGUE in that enable 1v3
Karma was so CRITICAL on that team man
This is what we needed, without even knowing it! Rab & co. is underrated and undefeated.
this was 10/10
ty for this
Cod esports for the last few years really hasn't had the same aura/personality as the old days
Recently it's been a bit better but man, I hope the next era of cod is like this again
we need cwl style events again man
Courage is the 5th star in this video. Nothing compares to the energy he brought to his casting!
man i just wanna wake up and it be 2013 again good ole days
got reassurance that the gf vs elevate in bo3, is still my favorite FormaL performance
2024! The Good Old Days! Best Era Ever
you aint seen this passion on stage since.
Optic missed a bag not making something like this … great vid
At 1:18:35 formal makes maybe one of the most insane non kill plays all time I don’t think people understand how hard it it to do what he did there
Well done man, great video. You did an amazing job.
I don't think there ever be dynasties such as Complexity or OpTic Gaming. With the way the Call of Duty League is right now, it'll be so hard to find a consistent dynasty like OpTic or Complexity.
