Agreed - every team has a scapegoat to a degree. A lot of Optic fans aren’t very well versed in halo so they just look at KD instead of the role on the team. He did so much dirty work for this team, didn’t deserve some of the things being said about him after worlds.
In modern esports it's so damn hard to win back-to-back championships. You are in everyone's crosshairs every team is learning everything about you. It is so damn tough.
The production quality on the process series is unheard of - its like a small movie every month! crazy good work and props to the camera, light, audio and post team! Incredible to produce such high quality at this rate
I'm a Faze fan, been following those guys for years, but I like all the players on Optic and respect them for doing this. It's easy to put out content after wins, not so much when things go the other way. Props to them.
Man I really thought they were about to destroy Faze after that SSG series , life is so crazy and the bottom is always closer to the top than people think but I mean that's why you keep pushing , you guys are still a winning team and could easily be champions again. I know you guys will come into the next season swinging. Good luck guys I'll be rooting for you here in my small town in Bama
The 8 game win streak from faze was heartbreaking to watch from inside the venue. You could feel the crowd just sinking more and more every game. I hope the guys can take all those emotions and use it to drive them to greatness again next year. One hell of a season either way, a lot to be proud of, and plenty more halo to played. Keep on grinding boys 🤝
@@favourites4 oh I’m well aware, I was sitting on the faze side and the difference in energy between the two sides by the end of it was insane. Unforgettable experience man.
Im not trying to be sarcastic or anything I just wanna know why? I just started watching competitive halo this year and I dont undertand the rumors about the sunglasses. hope you can reply to me brodie
Give it to optic no matter if the team wins or loses the support is always there with the content feels like a real family even if people think Halo is dead Optic treat it like the good old days and I’m loving it.
Heard the rumors. True or False, the Hood and especially the GreenWall stands with you aPG. You're appreciated more than you might think. Thank you. Truly. 💚 17:00
Bro? I prefer halo as an esport… but are you ok? The vibe and passion in cod is unmatched, every game is hype, they all get loud or competitive, etc, whereas a win in halo almost, scratch that every team but Spartan just stays chill as hell and don’t say anything really, they don’t get hyped anymore when they make a play, etc
People be out here like OG is now at the bottom. Second place in worlds is still second best in the world. Much love ❤ for all the good vibes and skill expression that drives us all to do our best! Looking forward to next years HCS league!
Yes but with how close series have been, losing 8 matches straight is one of the biggest losses within Halo Infinite's lifespan. 1st place is up for grabs no matter what.
damn that opening shot of matt sitting at his screen looking at it...almost as if still playing like he doesnt believe it, when everyone else around him packin it up :(
The finals were definitely rough. You guys seemed like you had it in the bag then the weather just completely shifted. Still my favorite team/players though definitely. Can't wait to watch the next season.
Another fantastic Process. Id like to see more from Lucid, we saw one his clinical break downs after a game in this but I’d love to see more. The youngest player on Optic but has such a cool head.
After last years dominance you can tell just how hungry every other team is, especially the SSG boys who got the first two wins when they were back at C9, and then Faze just desperate to get their next few W’s, everyone’s just HUNGRY and it’s a massively impressive fight
For anyone saying FaZe is owned by Complexity you’re way wrong and completely out of touch. Complexity is owned by GameSquare and now GameSquare also owns FaZe. True OpTic fans would know it’s the same idea when Hector lost his share of ownership.
They merged with Team EnvyUs with Hastro after Hector got all of his ownership back, I know. I just see so many people saying “Complexity owns FaZe Clan now,” when that’s not the case.
@@ImHydroOG And jus like comment rooting for NYSL… they don’t know you lil bro. We’re called fans for a reason. All of your comments is jus OpTic hate yet you watched the video. Ironic. Root for who you want to “lil bro”
I mean I was happy FaZe won simply because of the roster. APG deserves more praise then he's ever given. And I'm not even his biggest fan but respect for what he has achieved, for how much and how long he's given to Halo it cannot be overlooked. I think it was a mental block that set in. And not to take anything away from Frosty/Renegade/R2 and Snakebite... the 3 of them were part of Optic history and are Optic World Champs as well from 2017. Keep your heads up high to beat SSG to reach the World finals two times in two years and winning one of the two is a sentiment of how much that hard work paid off. Go Optic, and thanks for the great content for us fans to enjoy!
anyone know where the video at the end of this process is the one with the formation of the New Cod Team they never released that it seems unless im dumb
that halo worlds grand finals was so heartbreaking to watch, still love the boys though, and have all the faith in the world they will take more tournaments
it may sound weird but I'm glad they included the boys smoking cigs, everyone knows it's not healthy to smoke and that's ok no one is perfect and everyone has the right to an opinion. That's life.
You actually don't see Lucid at all in this Process video haha they should've cut in clips of him whining and throwing a fit over his MM teammates from Twitch.
Clearly you don't watch hcs much if you can't see Formal has lost quite a bit of weight already. With that said the man is still goated af, don't concentrate on petty shit.
i dont think we can really comprehend how it feels to be so dominant. in both cod and halo when he let off the gas its cuz the team is far and away goated and not really being contested. its def understandable especially after 3 peating a game he swapped to which he hadnt played in like a decade
@@Vobrog I agree not many people know that feeling of greatness, but something FormaL and even other members of the OpTic Dynasty have always said is that they always regret not trying their hardest & hate losing, and they know the only way they were really defeated was when they took their foot off the gas and didn't try their hardest. So, why constantly make the same mistake that you know what the consequences are, and we the fans hear the same excuse over & over again? Seems a bit strange in my opinion.
i for sure agree im more thinking its just human lapse in judgement. keeping that foot on the gas through so many years of competition seems crazy strenuous, i imagine they thought they had foot on the gas but didnt realize they could still be putting in more work. especially for this team cuz they scrim and play general halo like crazy@@Originul_
like optic could bring so much viewer ship to apex like they did gears by covering the team and making really good videos about them and other orgs would probably follow like tsm barely does stuff with the apex roster
Im still proud of the squad it’s very hard to win back-to-back but it’s good for them to lose it’s just gonna motivate them even more I know GW HALO will bounce back
Idk many winning worlds and then coming in second isn’t really the worst. All of optic struggled sporadically last season. Came together at the end but faze was ready
No. He also speaks plenty in other HCS videos, very likely the most interviewed player in the entire HCS. He also lives in Florida, so isn't available to just sit down and talk at the HQ.
@@mikeboardman6028 I mean I'm not sure if he prefers to do as little press etc. as possible, nothing new in that even if you work a "public job", but it definitely is also because he lives down there. He's a smart guy though and presents himself well in these things so I'd love to see the man talk more often.
Comeback greater than the setback, let's get it boys

I may honestly be emotionally abused at this point but im here for it. lol
So true lol
Fuckin sick and tired of feeling this pain
Well said brotha
@@BIGKushin Them boys been running trains on Halo the last year and a half. Regain.

If APG would just continue wearing his sunglasses indoors while playing, they would have won.

@@StaliasFable Think he mostly meant the production. ESL runs Halo 10x better than Activision runs the CDL.
@@StaliasFable the vibe and passion in cod is literally NOTHING compared to Counter Strike. NOTHING. It's not even close and there's no argument

Formal “I’ve had other worlds that were super aids and this one’s up there for sure” lmao
heartbroken for you! Proud of you boys. Believing for Optic Halo champs 2024 :)
"I don't really get second often" 🤣
Mam is a goat
It's simple facts lol. Look up FormaL's win % when he has been in grand finals whether it's Halo or cod, it's like 85% or something.
Don’t ever give up on your dreams. If you have enough determination, you’ll eventually breakthrough
Formal you are the goat. Watched you for almost your whole career. No matter what we love you brotha!
damn that opening shot of matt sitting at his screen looking at it...almost as if still playing like he doesnt believe it, when everyone else around him packin it up :(
Just pressed play but gotta jump in to comment on that HALO/PROCESS title animation… that transition was so slick
Shout out to the Halo logo going into the OpTic Logo to the O in process
great episode again boys, always kill it! WE NEED THE APEX ONE NOW PLEASEEE
Whoever produced the CoD Champs Process video needs to come back I felt like this was just an interview with some gameplay
“I dont really get second that often” 😮💨 FORMAL!!!!!
The finals were definitely rough. You guys seemed like you had it in the bag then the weather just completely shifted. Still my favorite team/players though definitely. Can't wait to watch the next season.
“I don’t get 2nd that often” goes so hard from Formal
The Faze win streak was EPIC
You got this Optic keep you're heads up Spartans you'll reclaim you're throne again
"I dont really get 2nd that often" - Formal........ sent shivers down my spine, best FPS player of all time for me.
Another fantastic Process. Id like to see more from Lucid, we saw one his clinical break downs after a game in this but I’d love to see more. The youngest player on Optic but has such a cool head.
OpTic is the greatest! They can take it all back!!!
Sooo where is the process video for announcing kenny and pred?
This team coming back next year, angry and hungry to win again. Gonna be a scary force.

So sad to see APG dropped. Optic team was my jam. I love when teams stay together.

Love the process
The toughest losses make the strongest wins. Get the comeback next year. Work starts now.
Crazy these guys still grinding after all these years 😂😂
great series! LETS GO OPTIC!
