I was a casual before WW2, never heard of competitive before I started watching clips on TH-cam and videos of pro players, since then I've watched every year so clips can convert a casual into a competitive fan. BO4 with snipes was my favourite competitive cod to watch!
No way. I just pressed home and this was the first video I see. Let’s gooo Edit: that duck race was easily content of the year for me. I was actually laughing out loud
ye i agree with this, it got super annoying having it loop in the corner of my eye for the whole time i know why hes not on cam but really should just use a still pic of him or something instead.
Pat is general is just kinda annoying at this point. Like I understand he’s a legend but he really never adds anything of substance to the crew except content to argue about or talking bad about COD
Aches’ point about sniper GA not affecting viewership is wrong. Not having snipers in SND makes the game mode far less exciting for the viewer, which causes more people to lose interest as the season goes on.
If a person leaves because a sniper isn’t used then they weren’t gonna stay anyway. At best having a sniper will bring in a small amount of new eyes that stick around and watch for a prolonged period of time. What really matters is the actual game itself. As Aches said, if the game is good and popular, more people will be inclined to watch. If the game is bad and losing its core player base. Odds are the viewership will decrease as well. I’m in favor of having the sniper but saying that it’s gonna have a crazy effect on viewership and retention is pure speculation and delusion. Honestly the biggest thing is when they switched from twitch to TH-cam, that has been the biggest killer of the league.
GA’s do hurt the viewership. Maybe not a crazy amount but they definitely do. A casual or a random person seeing cool clips will or might there interest. Its how it works.
Have not been invested in competitive this compared to last year. Too much complaining from pros, that are unwilling to try new things, viewership will definitely go lower this year
I see why Aches hasn’t used his face cam in months, he can’t show his face after Xdefiant ! Nah but for real 277 people lost their jobs with that studio being closed, and we never want to see that for anyone. Sad that it didn’t work out but I’m sure Pat will get something else going soon. Phenomenal episode as always bossh. WOOMAA WOOMAFIA 4L.
One of the best Flanks in a while. I forgot who came up with the draft idea but it was fire. I'm glad y'all did multiple drafts instead of one because CoD is never the same game unlike real sports.
As a long time CoD fan, snipers make the game way more exciting for us. Seeing how pro teams utilize them and the opposite team having to counter is a lot of fun
It’s gotta be said; Could we get Pat to turn his damn cam on and act interested a little bit? Guy is playing annoying distracting memes every show and doesn’t even want to be there. I understand his character arc and all, but brother, come on. Doesn’t watch the matches, is totally unengaged, the act is really tired after 3 years.
As a casual COD player, I learned about pro-COD/CDL from a friend in 2019 and I’ve been locked in ever since. There are definitely people out there who would be interested in viewing the CDL but literally don’t know it exists.
A casual player doesn't care about cod? Clips brought me into comp personally. Now I watch every CDL match as long as I am able. That's not a true statement at all. In the world we live in today clips reach MILLIONS. It can trigger you to watch more or even trigger you to want to download the game and try yourself. Minimizing that window of opportunity is CRAZY.
Aye sorry Pat I'm not listening to the guy who's game just died on whether or not good social media clips is relevant to growth of a scene....love Pat when he's BSing about players but not hearing his marketing or dev advice lmao
I’m sure this would be a ton of work on easymac’s side but having something equivalent to an IR spot in the season long leagues with the ability to draft a challengers player in hopes they get a spot would be a cool feature. Drafting huke now in hopes he comes in major 2-3 and keeps frying would be fun
I have a draft tomorrow so im happy i got to see a mock. I want one of the top 6 guys (hopefully simp), sib, cammy, mack. I think c9 will be super underrated. Maybe criminally underrated.
Simp is the only top guy in your list there. Sib needs to have a breakout year before he’s considered one of the best. He can shoot I agree but he needs to win more. Hopefully him and attack bring some grit to that NY/C9 roster
@@CarioGreenwood i think there are six superstars in the league which means not every fantasy team will get one. Also if you do land a top 6 pick in the draft you have to wait awhile for the snake to make its way back around. Assuming i get the first pick tonight, id love simp. And then my next pick will be 20th overall, and i would hope for sib. Its basically impossible to have multiple "superstars" on one fantasy team.
Same, I dont think Pat has any idea how big of a thing social media is bc hes a boomer. Clips have expanded Valorant to high hell. The snaps and all of that. But who really knows if it would do the same for COD, but im pretty damn sure it would
Thank you Havok ,reminded me of a good point this game has crazy movement mechanics and we’re gonna GA a slow ass sniper because their getting blooded first … are counter strats non existent anymore ?
Can you edit your fantasy lineup during the week? Or is it locked? I have guys playing both friday and saturday and wanna know if I can swap them out each day
Im in a breaking point league. I was number 9 out of 10 snake order. I managed to get Pred, Drazah, Gio, & Owakening. The best other choice was p dawg for me who initially i wanted to draft but i flopped last min and went gio instead.
At this point not swapping Havoc or someone else for Pat is an L. Pat can’t even be bothered to turn his cam on. Like he doesn’t watch the matches. He doesn’t care. He’ll make some brain dead observations and predictions, hate on optic and then call it a day. It’s the definition of just collecting a paycheck at this point.
RIP XDefiant 2024-2024
delayed for more months than available to the public lmfao
edit: the draft was awesome btw, great addition woomaa
Pat fuming fr
“Cod killer “
At first it was good you gotta admit I had my casual friends playing it but now we’re all playing bo6
I feel bad for the Slayaa, 10
Year old optic fans are clowning him for no reason.
They said it was the CoD killer but it failed to kill CoD and it seems that CoD killed XDefiant
Critics: There's too many people on the flanks
Zooma: We have FIVE special guests today
😂😂
LMAO
One man complaint
I mean do you understand how fantasy leagues work?
THE BENJ DUCK ROUTE STRIKES AGAIN
😂
I was a casual before WW2, never heard of competitive before I started watching clips on TH-cam and videos of pro players, since then I've watched every year so clips can convert a casual into a competitive fan. BO4 with snipes was my favourite competitive cod to watch!
Ben winning the duck race was top tier content
enable needs to ALWAYS be on the flank
Said no one ever
ALWAYS
We need Nub
Get rid of BenJ, add Enable. 10/10 Flank
@@OmegaSai no
No way. I just pressed home and this was the first video I see. Let’s gooo
Edit: that duck race was easily content of the year for me. I was actually laughing out loud
same🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I say it everytime, da nub is the funniest guy in the scene
i know MaNiac isnt a pro or even ex pro CoD player but hes #1 for me in terms of who the funniest is on any org. Bro has me crying
That duck race was fire
Imma need some more of that
the season keeper draft needs another duck race fasho 😂
Draft starts at 39:50
Thank you
🐐🐐🐐thank you sir
Ben J's face at 30:46 had me dead🤣 he was checked
Snipes + lit crowd def brings in casuals bc everyone can appreciate a hype clip
Crims in like the worst spot for a draft and got the best team 😂
gimme top 4 or last lol .. 7-9 miserable
@ everybodies leftovers
Top bad Pred torn his ACL ….
Its super annoying to watch Pat's camera image on loop for 2 hours. Can you please make it a still picture.
ye i agree with this, it got super annoying having it loop in the corner of my eye for the whole time
i know why hes not on cam but really should just use a still pic of him or something instead.
Why isnt he on cam?
Or just not have a square for him and put one of the guests.
@@mattcolecchia3645 he’s insecure 🤣

Pat has finessed LAG and Ubisoft.
What a champion
Pat has 700k plus from Ubi and lag and still has a dollar store mic 😂
Ubisoft yes, LAG no they were just too dumb too see that Aches has been washed forever.
@@ymmij5217 so he finessed them, haha.

ngl just 1/2 months ago I was so excited for the CDL to start and everything that happened since killed my vibe kinda
No they don’t. AW was a 2 gun Meta yet had the best viewership of all time
The casuals won’t even know what is going on they do not care. There is no loss to viewership
@@whydouneedaknosnipers were in AW don’t rewrite history

heard bens voice for the first time after 14 minutes into the video, shit might be the best flank ever
W guest lineup esp Havok
Huge W getting havok
We sleeping through alarm
clocks tomorrow with this one!
“My right thumb will grow back before that” is nuts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s not a flank show without Ben putting his 2 cents and interrupting every 15 seconds
As a long time CoD fan, snipers make the game way more exciting for us. Seeing how pro teams utilize them and the opposite team having to counter is a lot of fun
Enable my fav part timer of the flank
Me: About to fall asleep during the ep for work tomorrow.
The Flank: 15:16

I understand his character arc and all, but brother, come on. Doesn’t watch the matches, is totally unengaged, the act is really tired after 3 years.
Been saying it since the beginning, he’s literally only on this show to piss off people, fight with Ben, & troll Optic fans.
As a casual COD player, I learned about pro-COD/CDL from a friend in 2019 and I’ve been locked in ever since. There are definitely people out there who would be interested in viewing the CDL but literally don’t know it exists.
I’m a casual player, who learned about the CDL (CWL) from sniper clips. From advance warfare
the cod killer is gone....rip. sorry pat

Banning snipers is like banning 3s because Steph might get hot
Can we get a petition to have DAT NUB full time on the flank. Bros way to hilarious to not have on the show
Flanks not being live on YT too is crazy, why not? Its so much better than twitch as a viewing experience
Aye sorry Pat I'm not listening to the guy who's game just died on whether or not good social media clips is relevant to growth of a scene....love Pat when he's BSing about players but not hearing his marketing or dev advice lmao
the intro is perfect hahahah AH CMON lol

Holy Crap that Gursh yap at 1:29:00 might need to be placed in the hall of fame next to Censor and BenJ
RIP “COD Killer” XDefiant.
When pat said “where’s the back end upgrade” I was praying someone said “The same place Xdefiants is”
Pat is such a joker, how could
u not love this guy!! 😂
"I regret to inform you"...
Bro is comedy off rip. Optic fans will never forgive him though.
Sam trolled so hard with that Lucky pick 😭
Shotzzy being 4th overall last season and still not being a superstar in Pat's eyes 😂
All I'm going to say is last time we seen Cammy on a Black ops game. He was top tier
Let’s gooo needed this
I have a draft tomorrow so im happy i got to see a mock. I want one of the top 6 guys (hopefully simp), sib, cammy, mack. I think c9 will be super underrated. Maybe criminally underrated.
Simp is the only top guy in your list there. Sib needs to have a breakout year before he’s considered one of the best. He can shoot I agree but he needs to win more. Hopefully him and attack bring some grit to that NY/C9 roster
@@CarioGreenwoodHe’s saying 1 of the top guys plus those 3. The rest of the top guys will likely be gone by second pick.
@ that I agree on

Great content Zoomaa.
We NEED a full season flank fantasy league 🙏🏼
thanks for the quick upload V
Tom real for picking draz. ISH DA BULLMASHK
Good to see Havok in here!
1:32:13 had me crying. Gotta love Cocktane
Well I became a pro Cod viewer because of formal sniper clips
Same, I dont think Pat has any idea how big of a thing social media is bc hes a boomer. Clips have expanded Valorant to high hell. The snaps and all of that. But who really knows if it would do the same for COD, but im pretty damn sure it would
Fantasy playoffs should be before the major. Like finals are the last week of matches
3:45 LMFFFFAAAOOOOO
Thank you Havok ,reminded me of a good point this game has crazy movement mechanics and we’re gonna GA a slow ass sniper because their getting blooded first … are counter strats non existent anymore ?
That duck race went crazy
Respect Pat 🫡
Ben is so fucking funny man
Ubisoft is trash. I knew XDefiant wouldnt work because of that fact alone.
3:49😂😂😂😂 pat
Feel bad for crim he picked up Pred but he’ll be out for a bit so does that mean he can put him on injured reserve or no
Sam go Paco and "We Got Paco At Home"
Flank tourney with fantasy teams for next year pre season?
Redraft is crazy
Pat has a lot to say about what brings people to a game for a guy whose game just failed lmao
10 people fantasy in this league is crazy 😂
3:45 W ad 🤣🤣
Watching while at work
Kaysan having all these COD pro coaches for ranked, but Octane won't coach Connor.
#CoachConnor
Snipers don’t bring people in. But it makes current watchers stay
Crimsix and parasite 🔥
First time ever Rokkr has pace. First time.
28:18 bro iM DYINGGGG
Dashy, predator and Anthony can’t rest on their laurels after winning champs. They still need to work hard.
Honestly, in an 8/10 man draft, best draft spots might be 3 to 7
Colt or Chris are taking this home.
I started watching because of coups and I’m a casual. Didn’t even though there was a league.
W guests
Can you edit your fantasy lineup during the week? Or is it locked? I have guys playing both friday and saturday and wanna know if I can swap them out each day
That’s what I’m saying bro lmk if you find out
Im in a breaking point league. I was number 9 out of 10 snake order. I managed to get Pred, Drazah, Gio, & Owakening. The best other choice was p dawg for me who initially i wanted to draft but i flopped last min and went gio instead.
Prayers EQ Wake pops up this year
Simples sniper shot in cs made me watch
Feel bad for pat made a good game just somethings aren’t meant to be
Snoopy is HIM I would have picked him earlier
Sleepin on OpTic so hard as usual
You do both
Nub seem smart as hell now picking huke 🤣
As a degenerate gambler, I hope Toms prize picks aren’t influenced by his fantasy team! I have that issue with fantasy football

Vivid dropping is actually criminal
How I wish I was can see some sniping at LANs.
I doubt aches cares now 😂😂 he got paid
Why does parasite act like he doesn’t wanna be there?
I fucking loved the intro
imo slasher sucks they shoulda kept clay.
Wait what happened to xdefiant lmao
They announced they are shutting it down. From what I have seen you can no longer download it but they will run their last season
