Hulu has a crazy documentary on the DC sniper. Worth the watch. I lived in the area when it happened as a kid. I used to walk to school and they taught us to walk in a zigzag with our backpack up covering our heads. Some teachers wore red every day to try and make themselves more of a target than the kids. Wild stuff
As someone who grew up in the DC area the DC Sniper shootings were terrifying. They literally were shooting people at random within a 100 mile zone. They told us as kids walking home from school to walk in zig zags 😂
Bruh hell nah he probably saw the zig zags and just said nah these kids got the movement😂. But in all seriousness that would have been horrible being told hey you might get shot walking home be safe.
I was in third grade at the time. I remember they canceled recess, and we didn't have soccer practice or games anymore. It was such a weird few weeks because everyone was on edge at the time. One of the people shot was a woman who was in the parking lot at the local Home Depot that my family regularly went to.
As an Aussie I always find it hilarious hearing Americans talk about "massive" spiders 😂 I literally put one outside last night the size of my palm (and that was a baby)
I was the farmer in minecraft too thats like the 1 thing I always did 1st LOL. The way that team got to drop their worst player for an ex-pro is insane. I think Boze would love playing other team-based games, having those moments where you are like "dam we were on the same page" in team-based games feels so good.
I predicted that the CDL would last maybe 2 more years but after what has been shown in the last few months this might actually be the last year and here's hoping for it!
@@j21son55 couldn't agree more and I've been saying that since day 1. Franchising shrinks the esport so much it's just not even close to what it used to be in size and stature in terms of where it ranks with all esports.
@@OrionInSpace its not that it shrank the esports it was handled very poorly like we only have 12 teams because the buy in was 25 mill and with all this money they cant even get a LAN league.
I cannot wait for GTA. I'm getting old and can't be sweatin in these fps games much more. The new GTA is about to bring some serious fun back to gaming
Nick mad annoying bro not gunna lie. And just wouldn’t stop talking lol hecz literally had to be like “ok well thank you for telling us that story”. Let’s get this moving
This is my 4th comment on this pod. But I identify with zin on losing. I was ranked 7th ish out of my friends as a cod player. I won't lie I know I suck but I'm still heated.
I haven’t watched the podcast yet, but I have to ask question. Is shitting on the decision for the CDL to do a deal with TH-cam the right decision BEFORE we even see the results?I’m not even siding with the league doing an exclusive deal, to me it makes more sense to do a mulit deal with twitch. But is titles like this helping the growth of COD?I mean honestly, the title alone could turn so many people off to the CDL AND especially because OPTIC is shitting on it. Why not just see what happens first?Negativity is never going to win.
I mean why tf is everybody acting like TH-cam is some random platform that just hot big like Kick?Yall acting like the CDL made an exclusive deal with Kick. Why not just shut the fuck with all the negativity and see how it goes first?I know the CDL has had exclusive deals with YT in the past like MW19 and CW i believe. But why are we underestimating the growth in the past 4 years, COD has been doing better every year, all the negative shit only leads to doing worst. Everyone should just stfu and see how it goes first, THEN start talking shit.
@@vvemomusic5543it's has been proven twice now the cdl loses viewership when on TH-cam even during covid when it was on TH-cam it wasn't doing great until the deal was over and they doubled their viewership back on twitch. Numbers don't lie.
exactly. people are more upset that their fav streamer won't pull 50k viewers and get tens of thousands of donos/subs every weekend. these people don't care for the growth, they care for the growth of their bank account. all their careers were made cause of COD and all they do is shit on it, give it bad press non stop and somehow expect Activision to cater to them. iN WHAT BUSINESS would ANY company cater to negative reviews/non stop hating at every decision that doesn't go their way. Without COD/ESPORTS these people would still be working normal jobs. biting the hands that feeds them
@@kieranwatt1937 So you are saying that people who invested 25 million into a league (product) should not be mad when that product is being streamed somewhere which is not optimal and will not get as many views/engagement that trickles back to their brand. You know like the exact reason they paid 25 mill for. You don’t understand business… are u 5 years old.
WAIT HECZ IS PRO SNAKING 6TH comment but WTF that is the most faded shit I ever heard, Let me get that straight the OPTIC OWNER IS PRO THE FAZE STRAT WTF YOOOOOOO
Yeah it's actually been happening for a while now with Nick talking too much lol but I just hope he doesn't see these comments and then not talk at all. Just needs to realize when he's talking way more than everyone else.
5th Comment but Like As much as I love HECZ he is faded as fuck for not thinking the scump stream hurts the CDL. Like yikes dude it literally takes away views. Scump and I'm sure Optice benefit. But like WTF
@@ThedukeofderpsActually the opposite. Half scumps viewers wouldn’t even watch the cdl if it wasn’t for his watch party. He makes it entertaining. The cdl itself has been dog shit these past years.
I Don't Disagree that the CDL has not helped itself. But how many of scump viewers are those ones who dips after the optic matches. Be going from 15k plus to less than 10, Again the CDL doesn't not help itself, I'm just making the point the scumps audience likes him for him not the CDL@@idontrte
Not to fully derail this thread but like. I am Major Scump fan. I'm just looking at this from a social media impression perspective. He does better than the CDL. Don't care if that is CAP.@@idontrte
@@Thedukeofderps nobody is denying he does better than the cdl and a lot of his fans are for him and optic not the cdl. But just because he’s doing a watch party doesn’t mean he’s stealing viewers. More than half the people wouldn’t go watch the cdl even if he wasn’t streaming they would just ignore it or tune in for a little bit probably
Comp cod wont die ever. Activation is trying to make some quick money the CDL might die but there are other people waiting to get cod as their esport. The saudis are waiting for cod to become available. Its not the CDL fault its Activision fault. They city base model failed and it is what it is. The saudi would have a huge funding for plenty of tournaments a lot of teams possibly a 16 team partnership and open bracket.
@@KiddLondonit’s not the city base concept that failed, they failed by making the franchise cost 25 Million without a true TV deal or a lucrative way for teams to recoup funds yearly. There’s no way teams should be going Negative 2.5M after winning a championship. Impossible.
@@KiddLondon HECS/every other CEO BEGGED FOR FRANCHSING. I think you people have short memories. Activsion shouldn't be listening to these idiot ceos who aren't really true ceos/businessmen. except maybe Hastro. the rest aren't actual businessmen, just content creators with viewers.
@@InfinityProTeamfaceits been asking on reddit what cod players would want if they started supporting more than cs, and honestly faceit and their anticheat would be amazing for comp cod
@@coolieee I’m not to familiar with faceits but it sounds good they are considering things. Makes you think though, aside from the 1% of best richest teams in the world who are in CDL. How do amateurs get involved, come into the scene? There has to be avenues for the 99% surely?
I think it has to be to do with funding surely, there are other sites like CMG that offer a similar experience but I wouldn't be suprised if they follow suit with GameBattles further down the line. @@InfinityProTeam
NGL I'm worried about maniac. He been on the dark side for awhile. I feel like he needs boze to get back level. Come on man you shouldn't be the CDL school shooter. Lets be real that is 100% scarppy after a loss over maniac. Can't let that be your legacy.
I LOVE THE IDEA OF OTPIC STEALING PKA SURVIVAL TRIP. Except they wont make it a miserable experience for the entire audience by involving jerkoffs who bitch out last minute.
I didn’t want to say it. I agree with everyone’s comments giving him props for consistency but man he talks so slow for me sometimes i wanna hear everyone else tooo. Maybe I’m wrong for that idk
@@XGen_0214 I don’t have a problem him talking, the problem is after he finishes saying what he has to say, other people talk, Nick interrupts and they have to stop talking because Nick has to say something. I’m like boy let them finish what they have to say and then you can talk.
Can't wait to see maniac, boze, and pamaj all playing GTA again. So many hiliarious clips from back then 🤣
Maniac is the goat man. So happy for him and well deserved. This guy deserves a documentary
Maniac has become my favorite content creator in OpTic these days so consistent
seriously, his content got that 1UP
You must be on drugs too then
Agreed

Congrats Nick! Great video seeing everyone pitch in to the topics!
Nick does most of the lifting on this pod he seems like he’s in a good place in life love to see it
I’m tried about hearing how bad the CDL is doing. They have a proven track record of not doing the right thing. It’s no surprise at this point
The CDL doesnt make these decisions Activision does. CDL has to comply whether they like it or not.
Well. When they decided to do better. Everyone will still complain 😂
@@SlapDashROWL is pretty much nonexistent, ATVI will do nothing to save the CDL either lol. If anything they keep making worse decisions
At this point I just think to myself "what's the worst that could happen?" And then assume that lol
Almost like COD as a whole lmao
As someone who grew up in the DC area the DC Sniper shootings were terrifying. They literally were shooting people at random within a 100 mile zone. They told us as kids walking home from school to walk in zig zags 😂

As you get older self preservation kicks in more and more because when you’re a kid you don’t value life as you should but older you do
Congrats to Nick. Great podcast as always
This is Nick's world and we all just live in it lol and I'm okay with that I'm happy for the dude.
Optic content keeps on Getting better and better each year and ii love it
Niac was flying on them shrooms 😂
Glad to see zin back on the pod need more of that
Out of the 152 episodes of this podcast, this has to be the 125th episode with some sort of "CDL/Cod is in trouble" in the title 😂

I predicted that the CDL would last maybe 2 more years but after what has been shown in the last few months this might actually be the last year and here's hoping for it!
