I would love to see MW2 return to the OG Prestige System, but clearly that's way too much to ask for. Hopefully Ranked releases sooner than February 18th this time around 😂
Great year of Flanks Tom, Love how popular the show and your brand is getting and I hope you realize how appreciative we are of you doing this show not only for the scene but for us personally 💚
As a kiwi aussie, watching pred embodies the passion and approach to sport and competition perfectly in the southern hemisphere. All grit and confidence. Whatever team he's on I'm riding w. Absolute professional with a great mental.
Great season of The Flank Tommy. Great guests, great vibes, great analysis, great moments. Very keen to see The Flank get even bigger & better when MW2 rolls around. Love the content man, I think really keeping pro cod interesting while also making it easy to follow along. Keep killing it
Vanguard was dogshit but the cod scene as a whole this year was much more exciting because of it. Hopefully next year the competition is better along with the game but having multiple different winners throughout the year made for some fun storylines. MW2 flanks gonna hit different, can't wait for them keep it up zoomaa.
Aches talking about Drazah's "free two piece" on gav control but aint gonna acknowledge Arcitys literally got a free three piece flanking through green to midcut to even get FaZe back onto the B point.
I have the best idea for the flank during the off-season !!!! You guys teach the history of cod. All the young people watching call of duty started watching in the jetpack era or after who the top dogs were in the golden era of call of duty. They think bo4 is a better call of duty then bo2 and disrespect they players that were actually good when it took a brain & strategy to win not just slide around corners. You have 1 hour podcast per week of each call of duty title where you talk about who the top dogs were who won nats who won each event or pcl start with cod4 etc you aches & parasite will have crazy insight to who was actually good at what old titles. You can have a guest or two each show of players that were elite at that specific title to have more insight for example maybe assass1n Rambo or Moho for cod4, or sharp stainville jkap john for other titles. It would be super interesting and give the flowers to some of the older players who kids today have never heard of but we’re goats of their time. Perfect for off-season content
first full season watching the flank and i couldn’t be happier to be apart of the community man. been loving the zoomafia ever since i started tuning into the streams. here’s to running it up next year🥂❤️
I agree with aches. The fact that Kenny was a sub then an AR for 3 years, then becomes WW2 bandana ken when he gets hot with a sub again. He proved how versatile he can be with switching roles. Kenny could play cod for a long time.
would be interesting to see. especially on Gav when he had to play the 3rd AR role he was there best player for Gav HP. but if Scump went to flex, would Illey be on SMG or pick up someone new?
Honestly that makes sense considering his play style is very pre-aim heavy but aggressive, he would be a perfect flex, drop illey and pick up hydra and u have a god squad.
Remember at the beginning of the year when everyone was saying Thieves were the best team in the game before the season started?? It all finally came full circle and they proved it. Fanfuckingtastic job throughout the year Tommy, Haggy, Pat and Ben! Can’t wait to see what the Flank brings next year!
They weren’t the best in the beginning lol, optic steamrolled everybody. Faze was their only challenge. Lat literally got bodied by optic in the beginning of year
LAT should get extra kudos for bringing consistency to a game that was so trash. Not only did they have to battle the talent on the other teams but also the game itself. To win Major IV and then Champs back to back with the teamwork they showed is amazing. As for Faze they just didn't workout how to win in Vanguard and now they blame the game. Every team had to play on the same maps with the same guns and equipment. It just sounds like sour gapes from them.
This is a good experiment for call of duty being on a 2 year cycle, it will be interesting to see how the mets develops or of it becomes stale at some point into the 2nd season
The other thing about having a two year cycle is that teams can "scrim" and practice the game in the off season as well. Normally they would be waiting for the new game to come out and trying to learn all of the metas and maps and modes, etc.
Tommy first and foremost you’re the fucking man bro what a huge success the flank has been and wanted to say you should bring the whole thieves to the flank it would be a fire episode 🔥
The map Faze needed most was Tuscan HP. LAT had beaten Faze the last few times they played Tuscan SnD anyway. But Faze had won the Tuscan HP the last 2 times they played. Realistically the first 3 maps all favoured LAT and they got the best possible outcome by starting 3-0, Faze needed to take their smg map to keep the series going. Once they lost that map too and went down 0-4, it was chalked. Faze even started to heat up though, it was starting to look scary. I feel like if they had taken that Tuscan HP there was a good chance they make the comeback and it goes to map 9. You could see the Faze guns starting to get really hot late in that series, it felt like LAT was still playing that Berlin Control perfect but Faze just got so many kills that LAT had no room to make the plays they normally make, if they slaying was even LAT easily win that but Faze were just not dying.
@@AVerySillySausage i agree that tuscan HP was another swing map but the way Thieves were playing respawns Faze needed a lot of SnD wins starting with the first one. Going down 3-0 and then 4-0 kinda sealed their fate
“Defuuuussssiiinnngggg” Pat is a fool man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but even tho this game was dogshit, the season was entertaining. There were so many moments that got me up out my seat. The Flank was awesome as always and I’m looking forward to next season 💯
The flank really been carrying the scene this year regardless of how dogshit this terrible ass game is, thanks for all the hard work and great content 🖤
NEED AN LAT EPISODE, A ZINNI YEAR RECAP, A SEA EPISODE, DEF A CLAY ONE AFTER HIS CONTRACT IS DONE (I would say optic but those guys are "too big" i guess to hop in and kick it)
We need one event in philly. We had OWL in Philly back in 2019, that shit was sold out I think, zedd performed, all that stuff. I honestly think philly got it to be a pretty good crowd, Not to mention the Wells Fargo center is a huge ass venue, but that ain't the only one we got. and yes im biased cause I lived in philly for years, leave me be.
I disagree going down 0-4 in finals is getting pissed on. Faze didn’t even wake up until they were down 0-4, they got smoked Tom. No ice outta them to not be able to close out some of those maps. But thank you for everything this season tom. Been loving the show. Thank you for making content when they pros got their bag and don’t care
Nothing happened to Faze. They showed kinks in their armour all season. But they were still good enough to make it to champs on a bad day. LAT caught fire at the right time and rode the Lightning the rest of the way. Both teams can’t be on at the same time.
they will pick maps and gamemodes that each teams are good at and bad at...equally. it also is the reason why it mostly goes to 5. thats why people say its scripted. they set up the maps and modes to favor each teams equally
@@mully9900 i dont know if he held surge back but he is just an average player in terms of pro standards. Obviously, his IGL is what sets him apart, and surge wouldnt have won an event without him i believe.
LA took so long to get it right and now they should be a force ongoing with all the right foundations and timings and their routines all practiced and trained the right way, that's why they didn't hit the ground running, too many things to break down and rework out among their styles of play, but fairplay envoy, optic drop him, it clearly hurt and I thought are yous crazy too, and just shows you boi ...when a guy is clearly a different breed, you nurture that you don't dismiss it for another idea.... They dropped the ball letting envoy go.... The proof is in the pudding and not the first time they made a blunder
pat- “a team can’t be that much better than another team due to vanguard” also pay “the top 6 teams are massively better than the bottom 6 teams” ??????
He's basically saying that a Top 6 team can't blowout any of the bottom 6 teams due to how Vanguard was made. Certain sides give you a advantage, Berlin is a easy example. And control was almost guaranteed to go to R5 lol. Game was ass
I would love to see MW2 return to the OG Prestige System, but clearly that's way too much to ask for. Hopefully Ranked releases sooner than February 18th this time around 😂
Whoa that’s too much to ask for bud
“Modern Warfare II will be a generational influence that will change digital entertainment forever” 🤣
Old prestige system would be so dope
It’s on launch
We might be lucky to even get one seems MV didn’t have it
Finally this season is over. Can’t wait for MW2 and more of The Flank!!
When mw2 comes it’s gonna be next cod same cycle
@@armanjitsingh23 same shit different day
Nah Zooma ends the flank and gets back in the league 🤪😂
All the COD guys spread posture, taking space. Ben squeezed in tight, little timid posture.
Great year of Flanks Tom, Love how popular the show and your brand is getting and I hope you realize how appreciative we are of you doing this show not only for the scene but for us personally 💚
man i thought after Octane dropped 2 donuts this team was done but im glad they pulled through
Aches “ I didn’t know pred was final boss” 🤣🤣 deadass tho so glad we have pred in the cdl now.
I'm so proud of the Aussie 🇦🇺
I died when he said that. Pats hilarious
@@nauts9132 Hes made our region so proud
As a kiwi aussie, watching pred embodies the passion and approach to sport and competition perfectly in the southern hemisphere. All grit and confidence. Whatever team he's on I'm riding w. Absolute professional with a great mental.
Pat has the most objective takes. don't change mate. love the flank.
Great season of The Flank Tommy. Great guests, great vibes, great analysis, great moments. Very keen to see The Flank get even bigger & better when MW2 rolls around. Love the content man, I think really keeping pro cod interesting while also making it easy to follow along. Keep killing it

“As soon the lights hit them on stage they didn’t know their own names” pat is hilarious 😭😭😭😭😭
Lol he's funny asf
Not wrong though
Great year of the flank. See ya fellas on the next cod
Amazing year of The Flank guys!!! I cant even express how much I enjoyed it!!! Thank you guys for all of your hard work and dedication!!
Hope the MW2 season has more Lans and less breaks. Really kills the vibe when they go for a 1 month break in the middle of the season
Brah Pat being cartman this episode is the best
waggy really seems like a good guy I’d love to see him coach but I’d really miss him on the flank love what toms grown around him 💯
Aches talking about Drazah's "free two piece" on gav control but aint gonna acknowledge Arcitys literally got a free three piece flanking through green to midcut to even get FaZe back onto the B point.
Great season this year guys, regardless of the absolute dogshit game. WLANK

Without the watch partys and flank episodes i wouldnt of been able to follow the CDL as much as i did this year, S/O Zoomafia GGs
Pat said "when the lights hit em, they ain't even know their own names" 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm weak!
Pred vs zoomaa boxing match would be lit. Pred has the power, tommy has the speed
Solid work from the flank guys!
I agree with aches. The fact that Kenny was a sub then an AR for 3 years, then becomes WW2 bandana ken when he gets hot with a sub again. He proved how versatile he can be with switching roles. Kenny could play cod for a long time.
Pre match interviews with two players from both teams would be dope on the flank😭
At the end of the year all I have to say is WACHES!!!
honestly zoomaa jus so goated
Im more excited for offseason flank than vanguard flank lmbo. Gotta get ben on more tho. That man needs to be a permanent fixture here.
Ben always wants the smoke with Patty LMAO
I would literally buy tickets to see cod pros box eachother please Tommy you can do this brother.
Couldn’t wait for this episode
I wanna see Scump take up flex role next year, I feel he suits it more at this point in his career.
Bro what
So are u saying to drop Illey
would be interesting to see. especially on Gav when he had to play the 3rd AR role he was there best player for Gav HP. but if Scump went to flex, would Illey be on SMG or pick up someone new?
Honestly that makes sense considering his play style is very pre-aim heavy but aggressive, he would be a perfect flex, drop illey and pick up hydra and u have a god squad.
@@quickshot4050 illey for hydra is a bad swap considering what illey brings to the team besides gunny.

They weren’t the best in the beginning lol, optic steamrolled everybody. Faze was their only challenge. Lat literally got bodied by optic in the beginning of year
@@SirJorge. he’s right , during the kickoff people were saying la thieves was like top 3 , la thieves came second in the kick off and beat optic.
@@SirJorge. everyone picked LAT to win the first event lmao
LAT should get extra kudos for bringing consistency to a game that was so trash. Not only did they have to battle the talent on the other teams but also the game itself. To win Major IV and then Champs back to back with the teamwork they showed is amazing. As for Faze they just didn't workout how to win in Vanguard and now they blame the game. Every team had to play on the same maps with the same guns and equipment. It just sounds like sour gapes from them.
Agreed. If they had won, there would be a lot less complaints about the game from their camp.
I am excited for next year! It's gonna be fun
Tired of Ben going “wow wow I don’t think we’re respecting” everything
Zoomaa you gotta get a Pred vs Censor 1v1. Pred looks built and I know Doug would fs trash talk the entire time. W content tbh
Nah champs just gotta be in Vegas every year. Dope spot for both players and fans to travel to
This is a good experiment for call of duty being on a 2 year cycle, it will be interesting to see how the mets develops or of it becomes stale at some point into the 2nd season
Meta*
If theres a lot of maps, it probably won’t get stale. My fear is that we have like 4 maps again for a whole year.
Bring champs to Columbus, Columbus deserves a team.
The other thing about having a two year cycle is that teams can "scrim" and practice the game in the off season as well. Normally they would be waiting for the new game to come out and trying to learn all of the metas and maps and modes, etc.
Tommy first and foremost you’re the fucking man bro what a huge success the flank has been and wanted to say you should bring the whole thieves to the flank it would be a fire episode 🔥
I feel like FaZe really needed that first SnD, you know first 3 maps were 2 Gav, they really needed that
The map Faze needed most was Tuscan HP. LAT had beaten Faze the last few times they played Tuscan SnD anyway. But Faze had won the Tuscan HP the last 2 times they played.

WOOMAA WLANK
Patt stays speaking facts
Pat saying “Defusing” 😭😭😭
Tom you looked GOOD today. DRIPPY
Pat is hilarious man
When y’all were talking about setting up boxing matches all I thought about is 1v1 on Rust and it would be fitting since we’re going back to MW22
W vid
Envoy got that ring I'm proud of him , optic dropped him
theives should be happy they gave him away instead of holding him as a sub
Ttk needs to be high next year. I feel like players looked better than they were this game because kills were so fast. Respectfully.
Would be great sometime soon to have a shorter flank just breaking down what teams you think will and won’t make changes.
So happy
I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE @ THE EVENT :( I wanted a pic lmao i got one with ken though!
“Defuuuussssiiinnngggg” Pat is a fool man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but even tho this game was dogshit, the season was entertaining. There were so many moments that got me up out my seat. The Flank was awesome as always and I’m looking forward to next season 💯
The flank really been carrying the scene this year regardless of how dogshit this terrible ass game is, thanks for all the hard work and great content 🖤
can we talk about how tiny bens ankles look in this video
Take Champs to Miami like they said. Less taxes is always good.
Why does it always sound like pat is trying to argue w the guys, love the guy but bro sounds like he’s about to cry 😂
Happy birthday bro🎉 mine in 3 days!
yo was ben drunk. my mans takes
Thanks for the amazing year of the Flank. Can’t wait for season two merch of the Flank
Faze got Kennyucky Fried
Everybody on one mic isn't the move- future wise..
envoy got robbed of mvp
The Flank is amazing. Better be the same next cod!
Next year will be great
NEED AN LAT EPISODE, A ZINNI YEAR RECAP, A SEA EPISODE, DEF A CLAY ONE AFTER HIS CONTRACT IS DONE (I would say optic but those guys are "too big" i guess to hop in and kick it)
FAZE UP !!!!
The volume balance between Pat and the rest of the group is 80-40%. Pat is blasting and everyone else is or needs to be quiet. 😂
Aches take on neutral 1000000%
Re crowd ruing defuse: They should be able to turn off oracle mode and only spectate the team that planted the bomb.
A tier list now that the seasons is over will be great!
I hope mw2 has good maps and gameplay, and looking forward to some more gta rp from Tom this off season
We need one event in philly. We had OWL in Philly back in 2019, that shit was sold out I think, zedd performed, all that stuff. I honestly think philly got it to be a pretty good crowd, Not to mention the Wells Fargo center is a huge ass venue, but that ain't the only one we got.
and yes im biased cause I lived in philly for years, leave me be.
100k subs right there 👀
three years in a row a player gets dropped or leaves optic and wins a ring the next year lol
When Treyarch makes the game it’s GUARANTEED LEGIT FUN
Agreed
The flank is gonna turn into the optic podcast in the offseason
I hope not cause hecz talking about NFTs every episode got annoying
Bro Rabs video tomorrow is gonna be lit with this beef
I disagree going down 0-4 in finals is getting pissed on. Faze didn’t even wake up until they were down 0-4, they got smoked Tom. No ice outta them to not be able to close out some of those maps. But thank you for everything this season tom. Been loving the show. Thank you for making content when they pros got their bag and don’t care
Common Laches. Common Wlank
It doesn't always happen but it has happend in the NFL home game for super bowl
I'm playing some of my final games of vanguard now
Nothing happened to Faze. They showed kinks in their armour all season. But they were still good enough to make it to champs on a bad day. LAT caught fire at the right time and rode the Lightning the rest of the way. Both teams can’t be on at the same time.
Aches has the same tone every time, kinda annoying but great vid as always ZOOMAA 💙
I love when pat shuts Ben up with his dumb, moot points.. that half the time are completely wrong. Get that dude off the show.
they will pick maps and gamemodes that each teams are good at and bad at...equally. it also is the reason why it mostly goes to 5. thats why people say its scripted. they set up the maps and modes to favor each teams equally
SLAYAAAAAA
who’s the next best active player without a ring now? accuracy?
Hmm not sure about accuracy in terms of best active players. They are several better players without rings, but maybe with less experience.
Dashy, Priestaah, Temp, Bance
to this day I think accuracy is so mid, even with event wins. idk just doesnt impress me and felt he held surge back
@@mully9900 i dont know if he held surge back but he is just an average player in terms of pro standards. Obviously, his IGL is what sets him apart, and surge wouldnt have won an event without him i believe.
Gunless 100% considering he has 7 chips. Zoomaa vs enable for retiree.
Asim lookin like Blasim
Imagine a map pool as small as Vanguard for 2 years......f**K....they better be producing some lit maps

I might play cod again if there’s jetpacks. Im sick of burger walking
Nah Nadeshot pulled out the HBR sending OpTic home in 2015 and then created a whole Org to send us home in 2022, buddy just hates us XD
such a shit game but this year was the most invested I've ever been in comp cod, thanks to yall and the players
We had good game in CW and only two teams could keep up w Faze so was the league not competitive?
Man if the next cod is anything like this one I think I’m calling quits on watching cdl
