You can literally tell people in the comments don’t watch the matches, and don’t know anything about COD. Huke was the ONLY spark for Optic this weekend.
Dude so true even yesterday people were blaming huke for their loss even after him having highest kd on the team and making plays after plays. Such a toxic fan base they cant even accept their flaws, the entire team and not just one player were making mistakes thus got punished for it.
Yeah but he consistently not winning on lan for like 8 years now. Its really not hard to grasp that. Today wasnt his fault but optic is just going to be running into a brick wall all year.
It's not just individual play though. Maybe the rest play better with pred on the map. I know shottzy hasn't looked near as good without him. Huke and shottzy play too similar. Pred is faster than a lot of smg players but he doesn't run around like a chicken with its head cut off like shottzy and huke do. The style of play of someone can change a lot about what happens on the map.
@bryandedon7459 they were literally the #1 seed and the best hp team before the major, and were a top 2 smg duo alongside faze. Stop scapegoating huke😂
Not surprising at all. As an Optic fan, you are always prepared for the team to come in, not playing like themselves, and lose. Been like this for a few years lol. Last year was a surprise, now we are so back 😂😢
You never know? Almost every time they get first seed or come out hot from qualifiers they get slapped on Lan lmfao. I saw this coming from a mile away 😂.
If you don’t know what to expect then you haven’t been paying attention the last 10 years or you’re too stupid to recognise patterns from the cod after iw to now ( besides last year) they’ve been disgraceful and a disgusting embarrassment to the optic name.
@@bapexcarti3 I've been watching OpTic since Nade and Scump first started blowing up. OpTic in general have a lot of ebbs and flows. The fact they were doing so well before the Major told you that there was a chance they were going to get knocked out early, Just like how they lost every game almost before getting a Ring/winning champs. Losing to Heretics was a big telltale as well. If OpTic was on their game they woulda normally smoked Heretics. Maybe it was Jet lag as well as the huge time difference. If these pro's knew they were going have to swap sleep schedules they shoulda started swapping a lot sooner.
Felt like huke was the only one who showed up, putting up the best numbers and biggest plays imo, all while being the bait for the team and being the first man in most times and being the first to rotate on most hp’s. Pretty impressive LAN performance considering his teammates weren’t really shooting back.
#1 seed just to play like that is crazy. Yeah, they've always seemed to struggle vs Miami for whatever reason but both Miami and Carolina are teams that OpTic should have beat. Really bad tournament for them. They deserved to go home.
@@DeVineFate yeah dont mention how close all the maps were, dont give any credit to ravens for being a good team coming in with good strats, dont even try make an insightful comment. Just be a hater! You got great insincts lol!
Call me crazy, but I just don’t think he’s as hungry for wins after winning champs and getting engaged. It’s like he’s done everything he’s wanted to do and subconsciously just isn’t trying as hard now.
Everyone here is faded. Optic show signs of weakness, and Pred is the automatic answer? Cope. I wish it were that simple. Everyone’s been flaming Huke but he played better than everyone on the team this weekend.
Pred activated the rest of the team. Huke is playing just fine but pred was a psycho when it came to winning. Listen to the com difference. I’m not saying he is the one sole answer, but you can see/hear the difference in my opinion.
@ I don’t disagree with this! I do know Huke has had some pretty bad tendencies in the past. I suppose time will tell this year. Hope they can figure it out.
@@PhoenixG113huke is having his best individual season in like 6 years but shotzzy is the real X factor for this team. If he’s playing well and the rest of the team are neg, they still find a way to win. If shotzzy does bad, it’s almost an auto loss because the way he plays is just free kills if he’s not on his game. I don’t know what pred did to shotzzy on lan, but last year was the only time in shotzzy’s career that he ever showed up on lan. Pred just brought out the best in shotzzy, and it doesn’t really matter how well the rest of the team plays on lan if shotzzy doesn’t perform like he does online.
Its funny how this comment section is full of comments like this. Yet i cant find one comment actually calling for pred, countless comments are praising huke. Imagine getting baited by nobody
For Shotzzy and OpTic to trash talk everyone(especially Ravens) about scrims, and then proceed to go 1-5(should have been 0-6) in Hardpoint and get smoked by the ravens, is hilarious.
Not really, the maps were competitive, they didnt get smoked and shotzzy played great. Ravens just had good strats and a bit of luck, plus kenny had an absolute stinker which lost them 2 maps.
Kenny hasn’t looked great at all on this game since day 1 but I don’t even really think that’s the biggest issue. There was no teamwork all weekend, solo challs everywhere, comms were way off
You can hear in the comms that Huke was basically Nostradamus. He called out rotations and read the other team, only for his team to boldface ignore him. Kenny literally said, "No, I'm not rotating to lose the 60," and the Ravens were chained from that point.
actually chance's shout was even better than the quote. huke literally said 'low key we should go new' then listen in ends and chance hits the 'low key you shouldve gone new' cinema
Shotzzy said let’s see which one of them make it (thieves/faze) and never showed up to the event 😂. Huke carrying on lan but he gets blame cause AR’s are undroppable.
This is the difference between winning on LAN vs winning Online matches. LAN proves whose the best, not them lame online qualifiers that 90% of the community get their baseless arguments from.
Optic fans are so switch up. Like saying drop Ken. Like he isn’t the reason they won champs. Like damn no respect one bad tournament n just act like it’s all over
No doubt Huke played well if not the best player on Optic for the major, but man Pred is such a unique player I really feel like Pred is a missing key factor as to why this team won’t be as dominant anymore.
This Optic team always does this and performs their worst when the hype is the highest. Im just gonna say it. Optic cant travel worth shit. "Ya but they won champs last year" ya in their backyards, no travel. Dashy and Shottzy get chalked from traveling i swear theres something behind it. This is why they always get upset hame 1s, map 1s.
How on earth OpTic lost to a team with a player who literally couldn’t see out of one eye… to many individual chows…. Sad day! - side note TJ played super well!
@@shafialanower3820 i mean u not wrong. but i swear almost in every cod ive seen tj do good vs optic mostly.

@@shafialanower3820 somewhat true and Ik even if people won’t accept it it’s more on shotzzy this time than any one, cause huke came to playy and was their best player this event
The difference is OpTic looked terrible even during major 4 qualifiers and now OpTic are #1 seed barely getting through LAG and losing to Ravens. OpTic were expected to be way better based on their online results. Besides major 4 OpTic made it to top 3 every major which reflected their online qualifier results perfectly AKA they weren't onliners like they are now with Huke.
@@tobecontinued436I feel like it’s a lack of pred effect online more than it is huke playing bad though. Huke’s having his best individual season in like 6 years and was the only player that showed up to play this weekend. He’s playing great, but shotzzy his entire career has just been terrible on lan and mid at best without pred.
@ThatGuy-nv7cx Pred is better on LAN than he is online so idk what u mean also it doesn't matter how Huke is playing Pred brings more to the team than stats.
Long time OG fan, and I’ve said this almost every year/stage/season, that the team looks strong in qualifying or league matches and can almost guarantee a hard major run. The overconfidence, and the other teams turning up when it matters bites Optic when it matters.
Except last year when they lost it was against good teams and they played them really close (except major 4). Getting smoked by heretics and ravens after having good online quals is just MW2 all over again.
This Huke slander is ridiculous. Octane's crazy bias with Kenny completely discredits him on this topic. However reasonable he is when it comes to other stuff
@@itzJuztThomas U can really blame one person in particular that’s the thing this time It was just optic getting broken on money hills and not rotating correctly. Sure Kenny wasn’t the best but neither was Dashy this event he is probably the best AR in the game right now and he played well under his normal level tbh huke was the only player that impressed me this event but id say he doesn’t bring the energy that pred brought last year especially on lan. Octane definitely showed bias for Kenny and I think Kenny needs to step up but shotzzy and Dashy didn’t play well either
@@LoverBoyWalker The best AR was and still seems to be Cellium dude dropped a 1.4kd 4 series in a row in the qualifiers and absolutely slammed boston major 1. Its either cell or scrap no other AR is close right now.
a part of me is happy that huke wasn't the sole problem for this team (i was very skeptical about him at first), this major proved that their online game plan isn't working on lan. it was painful to watch but the season has just begun, and what matters now is what they do from here At least Kenny's SND was better than online
OpTic getting bounced not making it to even Saturday after clenching the #1 seed is the MOSST OPTIC THING EVER. What would shock me and surprise me would have been them winning it.
We know Kenny thrives in a system where he always knows what's happening on the map. Shotzzy and Huke play well together but that's 2 players who get lost on the map rather than 1 (Shotzzy) for Kenny to try to coordinate with. Huke's comms are great but if Kenny and Huke are both the main communicators is that too many head chefs in the kitchen/too much going on and possibly a reason for the inconsistency as LAN slows down and becomes more systematic?
Don’t think that’s the problem. They were playing so behind, not rotating or having good set ups, and solo pushing to break that they didn’t have that many opportunities to get lost. Comes down to fundamentals and winning gun fights and they had a hard time with both.
I feel like you can but they are going to have to be a little more systematic in their approach and less reliant on kills. They do both but just need a little more cohesion.
Or that online COD doesnt result into accurate results as pressures of a studio and being on LAN facing your opponents add to additional pressure and Online is inaccurate for judging how good pros are?
Seeing optic fans call for kenny to be dropped after already losing pred is great as a non-optic fan, drop the two players that entirely changed optic (adding a winning mentality and passion) for the better winning them champs, leaving them exactly where they were before with the shotzzy and dashy duo who have never worked well together consistently despite their talents.
Problem is that I’m surprised Huke was much more consistent from online to LAN whereas Kenny Dashy and Shotzzy just weren’t at the standard they should be at
As an OpTic fan im embarrassed and disappointed. This team was looking final and i could tell the during the heretics match it was going to be a rough weekend.
The biggest issue they had this major was the AR’s. Dashy underperformed in the HP’s but was crucial in the searches, kenny was making questionable plays and lost some incredibly game changing gunfights. Hope they can bounce back soon
If people say the heretics, LAG and ravens are better than OpTic, that is just ridiculous. OpTic did not show up for the first event. Luckily it's the first one; we had to wait very long for the Major 1 so it kinda sucks. HP was horrific.
I agree I don’t think OpTic will make a roster change either, however I do think Kenny is in the hot seat. As Octane mentioned on the Flank, not really worried about Kenny’s performances online just wait to see what he does on LAN… well that was it. A .80 if your team is frying and your playing on all cylinders is one thing, but considering his role is that “glue” player that makes everything work out, on LAN it’s a no factor so far cuz the team looks lost in all 3 game modes. If nothing changes come Major 2 I see them making a change. On a positive note, Huke seems like his slaying potential is the same on LAN
@ You obviously haven’t been tuned in on the Shotzzy drama. He was talking shit about pros in the league that don’t own houses. Basically saying they aren’t preparing themselves for the future, which he is right. This is me trolling about Shotzzy after all of the trash he talked.
Anyone can shine on any given day in this league. I think OpTic are just saving their energy for the Major in Dallas. We've all seen this same pattern before. Nothing new.
Huke was the only one that showed up. Shottzzy got fried the whole major, every listen in Shottzzy sounded flat and like he didnt want to be there. The ARs got shat on every game.
@ crazy idk what was going on cuz even Dashy didn’t do well and he’s always consistent. Miami and and Ravens looked legendary vs that squad. Never should’ve happened
@@facehunter504 i think dashy was probably jet lagged, he seemed quiet in comms and even when the camera was on him he looked visibly tired. This is just an assumption by me, and by no means an excuse, just a possible explanation. Everyone was under the same travel and such, and if he was jet lagged he needs to prepare better. Crim was saying on stream how he would change his sleep schedule a week before travel.
It feels like Optic’s approach gets more inconsistent when Huke is in the roster. IMO bringing him back to the roster is just not the right call. Seems to bring their energy down (especially Shotzzy) and they don’t seem to have the aggression internally to challenge and overcome bad decision making mid series without AG. I know AG isn’t coming back but gotta look for someone like that to fill that spot IMO
Sorry for replying to my own comment but this can sometimes be a really good thing for a team like optic. Sometimes big losses are a really helpful wake up call.
Can we talk about how majority of teams won’t scrim falcons? It’s so unprofessional and flat out disrespectful. It’s one of the many reasons why CDL players and the league itself will never propel itself to that next level.
While I'm sick to my stomach watching how OpTic played this tournament, I think in the end it will be a wake up call for them. Surely they'll turn it around, similar to how they did last year
The only thing that saved OpTic was that title. They just consistently keep letting HECZ down. The guy goes above and beyond and they just sponge off that shit. Optic winning is more of a surprise to me than losing so it doesn’t bother me but I just feel bad for HECZ each time the choke
Hike and ant play to similar they need a slower smg to pair with him it’s almost impossible to plan around how ant plays but with hike out there to it’s like they’re gambling to much and lose to the house
@wizarddagr840 yeah if thieves and faze were still dropping spaghetti all over the place I would have ravens to win but I still they they will at the least make losers finals and take 3rd
@@denskosnorebandit yeahh honestly i think they can still upset but theyd have to play perfect and capitalize if thieves or faze make mistakes but fasho the most probable would b 3rd for em cuz ion see thieves or faze making mistakes at least rn cuz they been really good atm.

a part of me is happy that huke wasn't the sole problem for this team (i was very skeptical about him at first), this major proved that their online game plan isn't working on lan.
it was painful to watch but the season has just begun, and what matters now is what they do from here
At least Kenny's SND was better than online
Damn i've been subbed for 43 months! Letsss goooo Rab!
Sad 😂
@@justsayok5137what kinda bum mocks complementing and supporting a man that has been working his ass off for years?
@@ice-qf8vz triggered but u ain’t subbed, disappointed 😂
Rookie numbers
First event I’ve been too, and I can say the green suits were loud… some stayed to cheer ravens and you could still hear them, GG’s onto Saturday🎉
Please don’t scapegoat huke. He’s was really the only one playing to somewhat expectation
Optic’s Hardpoint was abysmal from Day 1 of the tournament. Even if they beat the Ravens today it was gonna catch up at some point
OpTic getting bounced not making it to even Saturday after clenching the #1 seed is the MOSST OPTIC THING EVER. What would shock me and surprise me would have been them winning it.
We know Kenny thrives in a system where he always knows what's happening on the map. Shotzzy and Huke play well together but that's 2 players who get lost on the map rather than 1 (Shotzzy) for Kenny to try to coordinate with. Huke's comms are great but if Kenny and Huke are both the main communicators is that too many head chefs in the kitchen/too much going on and possibly a reason for the inconsistency as LAN slows down and becomes more systematic?
Don’t think that’s the problem. They were playing so behind, not rotating or having good set ups, and solo pushing to break that they didn’t have that many opportunities to get lost. Comes down to fundamentals and winning gun fights and they had a hard time with both.
@@AlexWood66I just think you can’t have shotzzy Huke together
@alexwood66 I agree with those points too.
I feel like you can but they are going to have to be a little more systematic in their approach and less reliant on kills. They do both but just need a little more cohesion.
SnD may win championships, but Hard Point wins matches
Tell shottzy stay of twitter calling out other pros 😂
got too cocky online
@@nitricdxMaybe it helped the league play better you ever think about that 2 optic did not look like themselves they will be back
@@SoloQueOnlynah shotzzy exposed himself as a 🤡
win some lose some bro, optic have the talent they just gotta figure this shit out
I think they had zero team work this major and horrible comms
I guess pred was more then they thought 🤷
Or that online COD doesnt result into accurate results as pressures of a studio and being on LAN facing your opponents add to additional pressure and Online is inaccurate for judging how good pros are?
@@PlumpsHubris relax
@@PlumpsHubriscope
Be for real, you think pred is going to magically make them T3 when they played like platinums in ranked? The brain rot is real
@@PlumpsHubrisdamn you cooked
Seeing optic fans call for kenny to be dropped after already losing pred is great as a non-optic fan, drop the two players that entirely changed optic (adding a winning mentality and passion) for the better winning them champs, leaving them exactly where they were before with the shotzzy and dashy duo who have never worked well together consistently despite their talents.
Only YodaKing can save OpTic
It’s all good man ,yall so quick to switch up 🤦🏽♂️ keep that same energy when we comeback slammin next major in Texas 💯
Problem is that I’m surprised Huke was much more consistent from online to LAN whereas Kenny Dashy and Shotzzy just weren’t at the standard they should be at
Well here come the “thank you for these hard times Huke” chants 😭
Optic got absolutely slammed man that's tough to take for optic fans
You look like Eric tan hag
As an OpTic fan im embarrassed and disappointed. This team was looking final and i could tell the during the heretics match it was going to be a rough weekend.
Anyone who’s got a brain knew after that LAG match they were gonna get slammed 😂
The biggest issue they had this major was the AR’s. Dashy underperformed in the HP’s but was crucial in the searches, kenny was making questionable plays and lost some incredibly game changing gunfights. Hope they can bounce back soon
That was a big disappointment, optic suddenly losing hp left and right, no words
I could tell from the first set of gunfights on the Miami match that this was gonna be a bad tournament from optic
This is a huge reality check for them
Live chat was flamin Kenny everytime he sold lol ruthless fans😂😂😂
If people say the heretics, LAG and ravens are better than OpTic, that is just ridiculous. OpTic did not show up for the first event. Luckily it's the first one; we had to wait very long for the Major 1 so it kinda sucks. HP was horrific.
Teams with ken tend to fall early and end up winning a few chips we chillin, Feeling like Teej
I agree I don’t think OpTic will make a roster change either, however I do think Kenny is in the hot seat. As Octane mentioned on the Flank, not really worried about Kenny’s performances online just wait to see what he does on LAN… well that was it. A .80 if your team is frying and your playing on all cylinders is one thing, but considering his role is that “glue” player that makes everything work out, on LAN it’s a no factor so far cuz the team looks lost in all 3 game modes. If nothing changes come Major 2 I see them making a change. On a positive note, Huke seems like his slaying potential is the same on LAN
Despite optics horrible placing Huke imo did indeed beat the online accusations
Shocker that OpTic get bodied on LAN. Being their fan is so rough sometimes. We go next.
OpTic really went from arguably the top hp team online to 1-5 on lan 😳
It's so heartbreaking being an OpTic fan 😭 hopefully they pull it together and figure out what they're doing wrong.
And shotzzy was talking all that shit 😂😂😂😂😂
At least Shotzzy owns a home that he can fly back to. 👍🏻
Is that an insult? I'm sure most these pros are pretty well off bud.
@ You obviously haven’t been tuned in on the Shotzzy drama. He was talking shit about pros in the league that don’t own houses. Basically saying they aren’t preparing themselves for the future, which he is right.
This is me trolling about Shotzzy after all of the trash he talked.
@@VoidBL its a funny comment relating to previous comments from shotzzy. bud
Them optic boys seemed to have left their thumbs in texas
Anyone can shine on any given day in this league. I think OpTic are just saving their energy for the Major in Dallas. We've all seen this same pattern before. Nothing new.
Huke was the only one that showed up. Shottzzy got fried the whole major, every listen in Shottzzy sounded flat and like he didnt want to be there. The ARs got shat on every game.
Paul might have only put up a .94 but look at the damage. He played well this series.
Optic made them look better than they actually are.. sad!
So true man, they literally let two shit teams (miami and ravens) win.
@ crazy idk what was going on cuz even Dashy didn’t do well and he’s always consistent. Miami and and Ravens looked legendary vs that squad. Never should’ve happened
@@facehunter504 i think dashy was probably jet lagged, he seemed quiet in comms and even when the camera was on him he looked visibly tired. This is just an assumption by me, and by no means an excuse, just a possible explanation. Everyone was under the same travel and such, and if he was jet lagged he needs to prepare better. Crim was saying on stream how he would change his sleep schedule a week before travel.
@ yea true.. I heard that and totally agree. I’ve seen ridiculous Halo teams go across seas and completely shit the bed
OpTic gonna be lucky to make it into champs at this rate should be embarrassed at how they played
It feels like Optic’s approach gets more inconsistent when Huke is in the roster. IMO bringing him back to the roster is just not the right call. Seems to bring their energy down (especially Shotzzy) and they don’t seem to have the aggression internally to challenge and overcome bad decision making mid series without AG. I know AG isn’t coming back but gotta look for someone like that to fill that spot IMO
Sorry for replying to my own comment but this can sometimes be a really good thing for a team like optic. Sometimes big losses are a really helpful wake up call.
As an OpTic fan, I’m sorry to say but this rosters seems like onliners for sure
6:04 why would anyone talk bad about huke??? he played the best this week🎉 stop talking about pred in the chat!!😂
Can we talk about how majority of teams won’t scrim falcons? It’s so unprofessional and flat out disrespectful.
It’s one of the many reasons why CDL players and the league itself will never propel itself to that next level.
While I'm sick to my stomach watching how OpTic played this tournament, I think in the end it will be a wake up call for them. Surely they'll turn it around, similar to how they did last year
The only thing that saved OpTic was that title. They just consistently keep letting HECZ down. The guy goes above and beyond and they just sponge off that shit. Optic winning is more of a surprise to me than losing so it doesn’t bother me but I just feel bad for HECZ each time the choke
Ima be hones lagm8 can be a force to be reckoned with. If they can just improve by a major amount.
15:05 VERY MUCH INTWINTER YOUR THOUGHTS
Hike and ant play to similar they need a slower smg to pair with him it’s almost impossible to plan around how ant plays but with hike out there to it’s like they’re gambling to much and lose to the house
I was thinking the whole series that if the ravens beat OpTic they could make to Grand final for sure. I'm putting my eggs in that basket
you forgetting how outclassed they were on thursday?
@magnumdongsen2141 vivid's eye was swollen shut
Id be right with u but thieves and faze are actually looking diff on lan.
@wizarddagr840 yeah if thieves and faze were still dropping spaghetti all over the place I would have ravens to win but I still they they will at the least make losers finals and take 3rd
@@denskosnorebandit yeahh honestly i think they can still upset but theyd have to play perfect and capitalize if thieves or faze make mistakes but fasho the most probable would b 3rd for em cuz ion see thieves or faze making mistakes at least rn cuz they been really good atm.
The amount of DISRESPECT shown to PRED by Optic has been so INSANE ! I dont think if any other org or teammates have treat a player this dirty !!
He obviously did something wrong behind the scenes if the gambling shit was true he deserved this and needs to better himself
@@chromedomo4826 even if he did ...he did it with his OWN money 🤡 Hecz would be suing him already if it wasnt
Optic were winning with him ....EVEN the last game they played .....That's what MATTERS the most....not the INTERNAL BS
How so? They are respecting him by not disclosing why he has been dropped. Unless we know the reason I don't think they are being disrespectful.
@@ObeySenSeiThat internal BS got him dropped from the organization. Relax and hop of Preds meat. He’ll bounce back and so will optic.
