Kids swing on each other. MW3 land. Actually, let's do it really quick. What the fuck is going on? I saw this. I mean, about fucking time, man. People talk so much shit. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome here to the Optic Pod.

Episode number 150. I'm joined today by my TF-141 Divisional Rivals. Nick Kersner. Amagi one How feeling, gentlemen? Pissed off. So mad. Like, I actually haven't been this fucking mad in so long.

And it's like, and I don't, I almost don't know why because it's like, maybe, because it's not like I've been like grinding and this was like some big tournament I've been prepping for. Like, it's almost like I feel like I deserve to lose with the amount of time I've put in.

but for some reason it pisses me off so bad I watched three movies last night after I just got off I just watched three movies I couldn't I couldn't I had to like distract myself with TikTok I was bouncing back on Twitch on Twitter then I'd be like I need to get off this

because I'll just see like Nate shot and scumps $20,000 with the trophy and I'm just like bro I'm so mad I gotta get my trophy I'm gonna drive back with the trophy today. Where is that shit?

I don't even look. I don't know why. It looks pretty cool. I'm pissed. We've lost before and I was pissed and I lost and played like the pro sim and we lost to you again and I was pissed but it was just like fuck. Then I kind of got over it and it was just like whatever because I felt like I was playing pretty good against like some good people.

You were playing pretty good last night. I'll give you that. You were leaving last night. The first series we played y'all, you looked like you didn't know what was you. First map? You know, like the first time we played, like, the first time we played you guys. The first time we played, I don't think, I think I played two hours of pubs and, like, the beta or something. This one, you actually, like, you kind of looked like you knew a little bit better what was going on.

Making improvements. Next up challenges. I think that's what's, that's what pisses me off is, like, the first time we played or, like, our first few series in this tournament. I had like no expectations I was like I'm fucking bad and I like don't really know what the fuck's going on but like neither does a lot of people then I'm just like hoping skies carries

so it's like whatever happens happens then we start winning some matches and it's like all right we could actually fucking win this thing then you go six and one in bracket or in the pool play matches yeah and they're like holy shit then we're in like the one

I was like how division then we get to the division finals against you guys and I'm like alright let's fucking like we can win this shit. Like I just kept telling myself like if I play good, I feel like we're going to win. Because I always just feel like I kind of play average.

And I might make a play here or there, but it's pretty fucking average because I just don't know what to do in certain circumstances. Like on fucking parrachi. Is that what you were just talking about? Where you smoke bee bomb and you get that? Yeah, if they go B and plant

and I'm just in like the middle building room, I have no fucking idea what to like what to do. Or even if you guys plan A. You would be both, dude. There's not much you can do. Really? It's like, holy.

I mean, they just have the bridge. They have top third. But like, even if you guys like, you can play a, I don't, on Karachi. I hate going to. I don't know. I don't know. It's a little easier.

I don't know what the fuck to do. Once they get the bomb down, I just like don't know what the fuck to do. All right. It's noted for, if we play y'all again in the big tournament. I mean, nothing's going to. We get the bomb down, they don't know what's going on. I mean, even

bomb down or bomb down or bomb down or not, it doesn't fucking matter. I'm still just confused. And I don't know. And I feel like I was getting a little better and I was like more confident myself and I was like, one of these maps I'm going to like pop off and like really get into my like flow state.

Then like last night I was like hoping that happened. Then like map one starts. My fucking hands are cold. I'm like, dude, I wish we had a warm up series. We lose the first map I'm like fuck That went round 11 There's so many

Round 11 There's, wait What did happen Round 11? Wasn't that high rise Off the route? Yeah it was high rise There was so many

fucking plays Where I was just like dude I killed Mike P Top Pro Paine to win the map And I was like tweaking Cause I was like What the fuck is he? I forget how I died

By the way We had a PlayStation player Really? Yeah He's actually pretty good though He like He knows what's going on He's like

He's like he's been grinding pubs. He has no experience whatsoever with like competitive. But he like looks like he knows what's going. Like he's like slide cancelling shit. Like he like looks like he knows what's going on. Yeah. So like that's why I felt like our team does have a chance. Like Pam's obviously a solid cod player. We have our pro who can dominate at times. Mike P who's like not a, some other teams have a player where it's just like, God damn. Like they have no idea what's going on. But like Mike P is like decent. And I feel like I'm decent. So I'm like if I, if I do you. just fucking play good and like focus and don't fucking throw my life away at times.

Why are you doing this man? I was like, we have a chance to win. Wait, let's let's take a look at the, I didn't even take a look at the official standings of the TF. I think we were the TF-141 division. And then the other one was the Op 4 division. But yeah, number one, the boys, number two, the other boys, three, Clayster Aiden, Mango and Falco. Would you have rather played us with.

Guys that were scrappy. I mean, it doesn't matter. Pro's a pro. They're both going to be nasty. It's hard to say. I don't even know who I'd rather. Every team, if you, for instance, if I kill their pro player,

I'm like 90% sure we're going to win there. Like, if I go out and kill their pro, I'm like, all right, I did my job. You guys were calling out every time he killed Skies? Yeah, like, whenever we played, the pro that I noticed the most was Dashie. Dashie actually, like, Dashie was fucking me up on a couple maps.

Yeah, too, yeah. I was watching that. Me and Brandon were going back and forth. And, like, dude, on Terminal, he killed, I think he killed me, like, almost every round. And, like, we lost, I think we lost 6-0. Yeah. And it was just like, holy shit. I was noticing that watching you.

And I was just losing fucking full. And then, like, yeah, it was like a me versus, like, dashy battle almost. That's when, like. And he's, he's fucking, dude, Brandon's, gross at this game off. I would kill you some rounds. And I'd be like, I was like, just don't, I think I might even. Just don't, yeah, like, don't. Yeah, like, don't.

Just find out where they are. Scum's dead. All we need to do is find out where they are and it's a free dub. I'm going to give some props really quick as well and then I'll finish off the standings. But Nate shot dropped 17 map 4 to clench the dub. And that pissed me off as well. He bounced back. He's sick so he's drinking NyQuil and shit or not like NyQuil Day Quill.

He bounced back after we fucking 6-0ed you guys on Terminal. Wasn't you guys that 6-0? Oh, never mind. It was you guys that 6-0 on What's weird is I hate, I can't do not like that man. We did well on Terminal, man. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like we kind of struggle on that Matt. Oh, that we are so bad at Terminal.

We are literally, I don't think we've won't want to once. I don't know what the fucking do on that map. Yeah, neither do we. Neither do we. But like, do you feel like you have an idea of what to do? But like, you're just playing with me. Well, yeah, I have an idea, but nobody follows me up and then I just get mad. It's like, you're just like, sure, I'll slide in plane first.

Yeah, because if you don't do something decisive on Terminal, like, you're just fucking yourself on office. on offenses and like we would do nothing like I'd call something and then like we'd stop halfway into it and then it's like okay well now we're just dead and like yeah that that that that map's hard to play without like having a good understanding of what you need to do as a team but all right keep go back up we got the destroyers which was shots he's team number four movement kings number five they were actually pretty good they were our first match I think we went game five with them everyone was like decent yeah we lost the fucking control alt defeat Dashi's team

Yeah but they had Drozza at the time And they had Drozza and he was fucking shit He was frying dude I feel like he was not playing how dashy Like he was playing aggressive Dude he was just using a rival nine on scrapyard Just running at you Just fucking just full running

And I'm just like dude I don't know where to fucking look If I look in a plane He's coming from the sides of the plane If I look like He's running at you guys I'm staring at A and I can't even fucking see what's in A If people's names didn't appear a their head. I wouldn't know where the fuck people are.

Oh, we were team-killing each other. Like, dude. Yeah, we would, like, if someone's stunned or something, you just start shooting at your teammates, it's just stupid. But yeah, it was fun. I can't wait for the big tournament. I believe we both secured ourselves a buy by getting top two, which is nice, so we don't have to play. Cobium. Last night gave me a. I'll take it. After last night. Tell me more good news. I was like, maybe this is what I, maybe this, like, I was

I haven't been this mad in forever. And it's like, I came into this tournament. Like, I don't really give a fuck. Like, I'm gonna try to do my best. But I don't enjoy finding Cod. I don't know. I just fucking... Dude, that's why, like, like, whenever, dude,

it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're going as hard as you can. Like, it doesn't matter how many reps you've had on a game. Losing always fucking sucks. It sucks. It always sucks. But like, I just didn't have expectations. But like, this one,

and we've lost before. before like when we lost the I mean it is different obviously because we're in finals something about it like I would have been mad last night if we lost too like I would imagine it was like next level anger like after we lost I was like someone needs to die right now okay that's insane that you probably shouldn't say that on the fucking podcast I'm telling you it was I even text it needs to fall I texted I texted Bose I was and I just said like heaven worked out in two weeks out muscle no gains L fucking tournament

L finals And then I was just like Someone must die now But like I was so like I don't I just haven't been that mad And so on like sometimes

If I'm playing Valorin I'll get pissed or But like that was like It was like keeping me up Like I don't I didn't fall asleep To you were like seething I didn't fall asleep till like 4 a.m. Yeah well now I feel bad

I was just till seven I would have been that mad I would have been like I would have brushed it off Probably been mad for like an hour but you couldn't sleep, I should let y'all in. Yeah. I kept you up at night. I think it was just like, fucking certain.

I think it was just like my entire career flashed before my eyes. I was like, dude, when it used to be turning time, it was like, like sure in like a regular ranked match or playlist, I'll do average, go negative, get shit on, do decent, whatever. But when it comes to like a tournament time, like, I feel like I'd always pride myself on like showing the fuck up and like even if statistically not doing the best i'm like i did as many like smart plays as i could like i play but like yesterday it's like i had some decent maps but overall it's just fucking average i felt like i never like locked in made a play there's times i'd like plant bomb and then i would just like try to do some i'd do some weirdo route and just fucking die and then

can't go back and nitpick every little thing bro and i was like i would try to there were times where i would just like try to get info when you i was like i know scum's gonna come here and then i'd like try to get info and i'd just be like pre-aming it and then you'd pop out and i'd be like i couldn't i didn't know if i should like fight it or just like get info that you're there and then then i'd lose the fucking fight and i'm like fuck i know i just should have ran and that is god just like so many little things i was just like looking back and there's like i don't know why it was bothering me so much but it fucking did there's like five or six kills like like over the entire like all the matches that we played where I've like been spectating Nick or Mike P

and that you know this game like you just have to like 80 you got to trust your ADS like you just got to hold it sometimes do yeah and especially if you're like in transition you just got to hold it because like that's where they're coming from and like five or six times I was just like yo Nick or Mike just 80s right here dude like trust me they're going to run right at you and then they've gotten the kill five or six kills like between both of them dude times you got to trust your gut just ADS man like that's so much in this game dude I was getting bad timings last night too I was like dude when your timings are off and like you you like know they're gonna be there but then like that little voice is like but what if he's pinching you and then like and then you give up like your and then you

give up your spot and then they'll hit it a second later that happened to be so many times last night and that's why I just don't like search because I think it's fucking fluky and I think that that shit happens all the pinching thing like just that the paranoia of it just is in my head on high rise like all because like this high rise is all underground like just way people just like go up behind it and like you know what I mean go. Bro I feel like if I didn't watch nowhere to go. If I don't watch our bottom B it's like someone's behind us. Especially when there's a sniper on the map like it's three lanes or you're underground.

It's like. Dude, y'all were stunning the shit out of me by photocopier dude. Like I would just like you know off the rib go for the spawnside by either on the right or in the middle and then I would go check underground from photocopier. Dude I got like stunned on the head like three times. Really? That was not me. So someone was stunned your shit.

What map is that? High rise. High rise, yeah. Yeah, I felt like if I wasn't watching our underground, I was just fucking paranoid. I mean, I just feel fucking paranoid. Yeah, because your teammates aren't calling. It's like, who has what? My teammates.

What's open? We're not really calming like we should. But even when we are, it's like, there was a few times last night, they were like, he's, these, they would say the call out. I'm like, I don't know what that is. Like, it would think of it would think of it. it was on terminal. When I was in the plane,

you guys were calling out where like the last guy was and he was in like that middle building with like the top three or whatever. Yeah. You guys were calling that out

and I was like, I don't know what that is. And it's just... Yeah, Gigi... It was a fun tourney. Super fun. Well, it's not over yet, which is the great part.

So we... Feels like it's over. It's not. The big one. There's still a big one. Like a big one. It, uh, I don't really feel it as much today.

But like, last night it like sparked something in me and I was, like I might just fucking grind. Please. Play like dollar wagers every day for the next week. I mean, dude, you might as well. What else you can do?

But then last night I was saying, this just instilled a fucking fire me. I'm so fucking mad. I would never feel this feeling you today. Then I woke up this morning and I was like, eh, I don't give a fuck. I mean, I was still pissed off, but I was like, fuck this shit.

The sudden motivation just hit and then it always happens. Yeah. Like, I'm going to grind. After you lose. I'm so glad I got to sleep. But then like now I wake up today. And it's like. Eventually.

I kind of do want to I don't know it's just fucking annoying like I made a tweet last night it's just like is the moments of just like entering flow state making the making good plays and just like being a factor on the map

or these days just fucking over for me and it was like you still got it man you were making some good plays last night you do you see you're looking at all the negative right now you were making some good plays who you can do you can't make a good play every round

I mean something Sometimes you've got to take risks. Sometimes you got to... It's fucking searching a straight. There was a time I was hiding in a... In bar or whatever, in invasion. I'm in bar. The door where you and Natechap both came in from,

I'm in bar and I was like prone to that same spot. This is like early in the rounds. And then you bust the door open in front of me. I don't even know what that building is called. But it sounded like my middle door. I got busted open. Is that what that building is? The building across from Cafe, yeah.

but you like busted the bused the door open I was like is that my middle door so I get up from being prone and like look towards middle by like tank that door and I'm just like what the fuck it wasn't that turn around

and boom you're just in I'm like what the fuck sounded I just hear and then on that screen I see them bust open the what did you call it? Cafe Manican mannequin the mannequin door and I'm like dude

in my headphones it sounded like it was middle and then like you bust in I'm not even prone anymore I look like a fucking idiot and I die It's just like, so many deaths like that, I just look back and I'm just like, I can't, I, who was it? I think it was Hitch. Wait. Hitch's team lost the. Oh, wait, this is the other division. I'm sorry.

I was just looking at the teams on this. I didn't know what the hell was going on for. Bro, I can't imagine for like pro players when they lose like game five round 11s. Oh, it's the worst. And how much they go. Like, I'm in a fucking shit tourney with like one pro and then like some decent people. and then maybe a shitter and just kind of like a troll content turning. I'm just looking at it like that.

Dude, it's so mad. For cod pros? Round 11 losses, especially like in, oh, dude, it's the worst. What do you, do you, like, go back and just dissect everything? Like, I pretty much just did. Like, fuck, if I would have just, why did I not just peek that to the challenge? It depends on how you lost. Like the, whenever we lost the lineup, fucking when we got three-beast.

I was going to ask about that. Yeah, that one you don't go look at because it's like, what the fuck guys like what were we just doing how long did that fuck with you i mean like probably a week but it's like he's like dude like why why is everything just why does everything always seem to go wrong it's like one of those it's like how the fuck do we mess this up like all we had to do fucking dylan hits back alley when he doesn't have to and then the other two we all line up it's like that shit's that shit i felt sick to my stomach when i saw that happen yeah that was in phase Imagine me. I got two in the round and still get blamed for it.

That was one shot laying down. The Dylan Envoy ran off. Huh? The Envoy ran off. Yeah, Dylan ran down back alley. I hate that. After I got blood, he ran down back alley and gave way the advantage. I hate having the advantage and someone just be like, all right, we got.

And I think I did that a couple of times yesterday. We were like, we had the advantage. I was like, let me make a little sneaky play here. And then I just die by fucking dropped in the back of the map. Why do I do a sneaky play when you have numbers, man? 2 with Mike P and Pam Over at the fucking Pan's got a snipe

He's on console Hopefully Pam gets a snipe I was like Fuck man But And then there were rounds I didn't I was like I have bomb

There's nine seconds left You can drop bomb You can? I don't even know It's down on the deep head And you can't be near any walls But you can drop the bomb I just don't even know

How to tell if I have the fucking bomb So like every time I pick it up on accident I drop it without saying anything And I'd be like Nate you got bomb Dude Nick didn't know he had bomb Because I don't pick it up unless I have like a play for it. And then we scammed. And then that's when Drops just ran and played his life.

And then the next, I think the second last round. Yeah, I go to play it, Drops snipes me. And I'm like, oh, there's seven seconds left. And then we go to B on invasion. And then Mike P goes to planet. And then Skies puts a trophy down. And the trophy doesn't fucking do anything to the Semtex that Nade just through. And then Mike P dies.

And then we're. Oh, yeah. No, I killed Skies on the Cross with a Nate. He was like, I was mind blown as well. because I was like, he said that he came into my chat after and he said, dude, my trophy didn't work. And I was like, yeah, I was like, because I was confused why he was crossing like that. And my head just killed for free. But let's move on.

We've been talking about the GGCS. It's fucking dope. We have the final tournament, I believe, on the 27th and 28th. And then the GGCS will be concluded. So is that going to be like a all day thing? Yeah, it's two days. But yeah, there'll be a couple series a day. Okay.

But let's talk about the other division super quick because we have spent a bit of time on the G GCS. We've got Big Chungus, which is Damon, Dr. Lupo, Marksman, and Symphony taking the win. Number two is Shifty Santana, J. Smooth, and Cleo Thomas. Fred Z-Laynor knocked and Merck with third place, swag, booyer, testy, feudism, and fourth. Crowder, scope, rain, adapt, and so on and so forth. List. But, yeah, it's going to be fun. The final tournament should be a good time, and let's see who comes out on top for that.

Do you think we got our sides better? I think our side is better. I think our side's better, yeah. I think we have the hardest side. I think we have the harder side, and I don't think it's close. I just don't know. No disrespect to the other side, of course. No, no, no, no, no.

But, I mean, I think we have, all of our teams have, like, two pretty, like, nasty players per team. There's like one pro, one shadow pro who used to be a pro. Yeah. Doesn't want to be called a pro. I mean, this side's definitely good as well. I'm not taking anything away from them. Yeah. Carman Symphony.

Good for Carmen, man. Yeah, good for Damon and Sims. Symphony's been farming some of these early tournaments. Farma needed a dub after yesterday's video. When he got smacked with a tortilla? He needed a dub. Yeah. I went home.

I went home and was bitching on stream. I was like, how's your guy's day going? I had a shock collar on at 1030, getting slapped by tortillas. And I'm getting called a fucking part-timer here. This is bullshit. Literally fucking getting walked around like a dog. Yeah, you came out with a dub, though. You ended the night

Ended the night well I have to read All right Let's not talk about our series anymore Yeah We'll just keep going around in circles Got back into how fucking mad But thank you to Davis

The GGCS has been a lot of fun It's so good Yeah I think everybody in it Has been having a great time So shouts out to TST and the boys For putting that together And I'm assuming there's going to be another one next year After how successful this one's been

Like everyone, I think it's been received very well Everyone's been having a great time with it So Yeah Thank you to Davis and... Got out a hitch. Yeah, David Davis and the boys.

Did it again, man. Hopefully another one pops up right after this. That'd be great. I don't think it's got it, unfortunately, because like... I feel like all these are going to start dying down. No, they already did. Today there's... Well, today there's a Zuma one, but it's all professional players,

no content creators. So, like, it's basically a spin-the-wheel tournament. And it's 12 teams. It's the 12 pro teams, and they're basically split up by duos. That's today. Respond? Yeah, I think there is respawn and search, which please, tournament organizers for now.

next year, can we play fucking some respawn in some of these? Dude, playing search for four hours, like, just like, dude. I like respawn so much better. Dude, like a variant tournament and something like that, dude, a variant tournament with these teams would be hilarious. But I will say, watch, I do not like S&D and I love respawn, but like, even when I watch you guys play eights, I'm like, I don't give a shit. I was like, I want to watch them play search.

Well, yeah, that's like, it's slow down. It's interesting, but yeah, that's why I've been loving search. I put it up a little bit. I do understand how it's better, I guess, for the spectator experience. Yeah. I would definitely like to be a part of a tournament with respawn and shit. But yeah, back to what I was saying. So, yeah, there's the Zuma tournament today,

and then I believe the conclusion of the GGCS, which is the 27th, 28th of this month. And then after that, I don't think there's another tournament. I think that's it. My career might be done. Yeah. And that's kind of like the downside of the league starting so early is that a lot of the early game content,

which in my opinion is like the best content because everyone's on the game. It's fresh. No one knows the maps all the same. Everyone's playing the tournaments. It's a lot of fun, man. It just sucks because the CDL starting early kind of takes away from that

because the pros are going to start screaming. And once the pros start screaming, nobody really cares anymore. Because it's like everyone wants to play against the pros and, you know, once they're unavailable. It dies out, but CDL starts. So it kind of lifts it up. And then after a few months,

people are little bored of CDL, then Frank play comes out. That's hype because you can do watch parties. I'm so, I'm so hype for the CDL start. I've been patiently waiting for the season to be back. And I think it's going to be a good year, honestly. I think so too. Just watching scrims, we're only a week into the game about maybe a little bit more, but just watching scrimms, like, I feel like this game,

it's going to be, it's going to be like really, I wouldn't say it's going to be really hard for the top. teams to separate themselves from others because obviously the top teams are always going to figure it out and their talent's going to pull through but like dude I feel like there's a lot of upset potential on this game just because of how it plays. Yeah like the

hard points like do terminal for instance it's just all headies like if you get out rotated it doesn't matter who you're playing it is so hard there's not going to be this yeah like that that map Skid Row like do P2 on Skid Row is like almost unbreakable fucking the P4

on invasion is almost unbreakable like, or is it P5? Are they doing control? Are they doing control, right? Yeah, they're playing control. And control actually, people have been saying control looks better than Hardpoint. Really? Yeah.

Which is not good because Hardpoint needs to be entertaining to watch because obviously search is always going to be a staple. Like people are always going to like watching Search just because the stakes are high. You only get one life, all that good stuff. Their strategy, whatever. But like Hardpoint, that's like the dope hit, like fast-paced, see who's crap. you know, like control is kind of more of a slow methodical, like chess game. But it can still be really fun to watch and people can get turned.

30 lives. So is anyone like dominating scrims right now? Carolina. Carolina, I think, has been playing really good, which is Clayster's team. Really? Yeah, they're like. I've been seeing some clips of them and he's fucking, I always sort of believed in Clay. Yeah.

Or like, I just believe in his will to win and like skill. Another team that's been. these maps really well. Obviously, like, I think every pro league does, but, like, Clay, that was, like, Clay's game, like, NW2 Clay, right? Yeah. Are there pros who have never played any of these maps and shit? Oh, yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of them.

I'm sure there's a lot of them, yeah. But, yeah, Clay's team has been looking like a dark horse team. I mean, they fucking, dude, they've been playing really well in scrimms. And then you have Seattle. Seattle has been winning a lot of the S&D tournaments off the rip, like I'llie and the boys. Yeah, I've been giving them props. And I was saying if there's any. you know, doubts about Ender's thumb being healed

and him being 100%. I mean, he's, he looks like he's fucking back. He's been grinding and they've been winning. Even in the early off season, he was winning some of the gunfight tournaments and, like, he's been playing really, really good. So I gotta give props to my man, Ender. We've been, I mean, we just started scrimbing,

so it's kind of hard to really, like, judge us, but we've been splitting maps with, like, Donnie's team. People were on their ass the first. Yeah. They scrim, what, one day? Yeah. they lost a few maps. Yeah.

And everyone's on their ass. Dude, the chat is just so... Dude, it changes so much. Like, even back in, like, fucking Halo, a new game comes out, and I'm playing fucking fucking Ogre 2 and Pistola. It's just like... Like, I felt like I would always team with people who'd be, like, really good or really good at the beginning, and we were just, like...

We were putting in more time than these other teams, and we'd beat them in maps, but it's, like, no one actually believes Pistola and fucking Ogre 2 are not going to... be doing their fucking thing. Like it changes, it's going to change so fast. Yeah, in two weeks, I feel like we're going to be just filthy. So, yeah, it's going to be an interesting year. I mean, some of these, some of these like bottom tier teams or middle tier teams that people have been like talking shit about have been looking pretty good on this, on the game. So I think it's going to be a good year. But we always say that. It's going to, it's going to end up. Someone's, there's going to be four teams that just probably don't even have a chance in matches. Like, how many challenges? It's

nothing wrong with being too optimistic. I always try to be, but... How many Challenger kids are here now? Like, I've never heard of Eric Boom, medals, Snoopy, I'll go through the list for you. Snoopy had his debut last year on Boston. He played pretty well.

He earns a spot. Gwyn and Real are both challengers players and got our ex, actually. Pretty much all of Carolina are, like, top challengers players under Clayster. And then you got Purge. is new. He's from Challengers. Obviously we had Dan Ghostie played for

us, but he was from Challengers. I mean, pretty much all of Heretics came from Challengers. You got Eric Boom, medals, and Lucky. I can't recognize a single name on Heritage. Vickle's the only one in the league last year. I wish there was a list of pros who didn't get

picked up again. That must fucking suck. And then Lins on the Rocker is new. And then a Abuza. Abusa is the last one on the search. Like, it's got to be, like, not getting a contract for, like, at the NBA again. It's just like, fuck, what am I going to do?

I got to go to Europe. One years. Yeah, they just played challenges. I wish there was, like, a list of pros who, like, didn't make it back to the league. I mean, there's quite a, there's a feel. I see a bunch of, is there, is there a good player you think should still be in the league that isn't? Yeah. On top of your head?

I mean, yeah. There's a. couple yeah like who i mean like donnie fucking tege yeah donnie tege um like those guys i can't really think of any other ones off the top of my head but yeah there's there's definitely players that are deserving that aren't and that's just how it is 12 team league why do you think that is just because our teams are teams trying to find like i guess young new talent yeah like i hope this motherfucker's correct yeah people are just throwing darts at a dartboard because they are calculated with a lot of these pickups but yeah they're hoping they're picking up like the next fucking

simp you know formal yeah for for for 50,000 dollar league minimum or whatever whatever they're paying them so but I think this year's going to be fun to watch um starts up December 8th fucking super hype got the watch party we don't know if it's going to be on YouTube or Twitch yet we haven't really got any word on it we're hoping we're hoping that it's on Twitch Please, Twitch. I'd fucking do some dirty things for it to be on Twitch. But if it's not on Twitch, we'll figure it out. We'll probably be streaming it on YouTube.

Are you going to multi-stream? Yeah, probably. Yeah. That's the plan. Like what? Like full face. Full show on YouTube for anybody that has dual monitors and just wants to like... See you up close and personal?

We'll just like hang out like watch party vibes and they can like watch the game and like watch party. we'll have that available too. So we'll see. I mean, well, hopefully we don't know 100% yet.

why it's stressful I don't know why I feel stress is it the seasonal blues is that a thing is that like astrology where it's not real is it real I don't know but I know how I feel and it hasn't been too good lately I'll be honest and I think the most important

thing is that I don't know why obviously there's stuff I could be doing better in my life and this ad read is now my therapy session but I think it's important to note that sometimes you just don't know why and that's where better help comes in this time of year can be a lot it's natural to feel some sadness and anxiety about it but adding something new and positive to your life can counteract some of those feelings therapy can be a bright spot amid all of the stress and change something to look forward to to to make you feel grounded you give you tools to manage everything going on which is just maybe what i need um i've done therapy before it helps just having what i get from it is having someone that i can tell anything to like and not that they're

not to say like they're not going to judge and it's a it's just that like it's your therapist and i don't gave a i don't care i can tell you anything and then i leave and then it's what what you do with that information you can do but it just feels like someone who you can tell anything to it's not like i know people feel like that with like their mom or maybe a certain friend or it's like but there's just something about someone who is so not in your life that you just i just feel like i can say anything to him get everything off my chest there's certain things like you don't want to tell your mom. You don't want to tell your best friend because they're your best friend. They're going to see you for like the rest of your life and they're always going to know that little weird thing that you want to

get off your chest but can't say. So therapy can definitely be of good use to, I think a lot of people, maybe all people. I think it's healthy to have something like this in your life, especially at certain times in your life. Sometimes everything's going well and you think you don't need it. But maybe it's good even if you think you don't need it to do it anyway just because it's a healthy thing to do. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.

If they want to talk to you, they've got to be on Twitch. No, we'll be reading both chats. Oh, shit, okay. I didn't think I'd give a shit about Kod, but I've been watching streams. This tournament got you going. I'm not, like, you can't say this, like, the leak didn't get you going and a lot more invested into this. Yeah. This loss, last night's loss might have sparked something I needed.

Like, I just been feeling down. not working out and losing all my muscle you haven't been working out why not just grinding not grinding not grinding just fucking I don't know literally literally

burgering it literally dude just living life as a fucking burg and I don't know I just been in such a fucking rut dude this whole like take an hour we lost an hour gain an hour I don't know life has not been the same like this year has been heavy

like it's just like tired like you just want the day to be like really i i just felt these past two lights right i've just falling off and i i i got to force myself to get back into life of a streamer is though that's that's that's that's just how it is i'm not gonna lie i got i got a little depressed whenever cod came out and i was going to talk about it a lot in the flycast that thing i'm doing today like when cod came out i was like all right this is going to be i was like i'm a grind this i'm a stream it every day like this is something new for me to stream game came out

or whenever people were like getting on it early from fucking New Zealand or something I got on and I played pubs for like two or three hours and I was just like this did nothing for me and like every single cod streamer was on so it's like my views are going down and not that I should give a fuck like regardless of how many viewers I have like I should just get on have fun be a good streamer and shut the fuck up yeah but the game came out and I played pubs for two or three hours and I was just like, this? What?

Yeah. I lost full. I was like, is this what I'm going to be, is this what I'm supposed to be streaming for the next like three, four months? I hate thinking about that. I was just like, fuck, man. Warzone's going to come out.

CDL's going to come out. It's not like this is like it. Like it's going to be. I was like, I need like a ranked play. Like I don't want to grind for camoes. I don't even know how to navigate this fucking man. I was trying to, I think, I have to do three daily challenges to get a trophy system,

and I couldn't fucking figure it out yesterday. And I'm just like, I don't even have it. I kind of got. Really? I don't either. I don't think I have them unlocked in multiplayer either, because I've been trying to unlock all the guns and shit so I can do the camos, and then I'll probably start doing that stuff.

Bro, I'd just be playing free for alls, no covert boots. I'm just getting Soundhoort 24-7. Oh, dude. Before I get in there, and they're just like, yo, put Claymore's down, dude. Actually, that kind of segues pretty well into our next topic. I don't want to cut you off. But Nate loses his shit over skill-based matchmaking. And I just want to say something...

This is a video? I just want to say something real quick. Because this is... It's my opinion. Pause this real quick. My opinion, but I think skill base this year is super cranked. And I don't know if that's because the player base is going down or what the fuck's happening.

But, dude, can you attest to it too? Skill base this year feels way worse than any other year. And then people come in and they're like, Why are you bitching? You're a pro player. You should be able to kill anybody. And it's like, dude, I am using a sidewinder going for fucking camos, getting slide canceled by MCWs and rival nines the whole game.

I think it's like, holy shit. I think it's comparable to Cold War. I think Cold War is skil-waste matchmaking. Cold War's was crazy, dude. Off the rip, it was bad, but towards the middle of the game's lifespan, when people, the sweat started going to play war zone and shit, it got a lot better. Yeah. No, I agree.

But like, dude, it is. crazy right now. I'm sitting here trying to use the KAT like in Free For All and like I'll get one kill and then somebody's spawning behind me or getting a trade and just stunning off rip because they know exactly where I am or something like that. It is crazy. It's tough man. It's tough.

It's hard to it's hard to... It's like dude. I'll die to kids and I see iridescent rank play things and I'm like holy shit. I am using a single shot. They're shooting my body. They're like you're not the real optic pan. Dude, it's... Because I'm not dropping 30 and O. It's been pretty frustrating going for camos and having to deal with it.

But let's see Nate Schott's clip. Yeah, solid. Your motherfuckers are literally ruthless. Got you pulling in front of them. I won eight fucking major championships on Call of Duty, bro. So maybe I care a little bit about all your shit talk because you guys just don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I'm getting slammed right now.

Absolutely. I don't deny that. But motherfucker, let's see you guys go win a fucking major championship against primetime. X, Crimpsics, fucking karma and TP. Go try to fucking do that. and then come fucking talk to me

about being fucking ass at Call Duty. All right? You fucking idiots. He's going off. I'm 31 years old and it's fucking getting to me. But go try to fucking beat that team in prime time like I fucking did. So watch your fucking mouth.

Thank you. Damn. All right, boys. Let's go. All right, boys. Let's go. It's funny. He muted the entire Discord or whatever.

Just to get that off his jazz. Like, his teammates are just like, playing the game, like trying to win, and they have no idea Nate is doing that with his mic muted. I mean, yeah, it's frustrating sometimes. I feel, I feel it. I feel his pain, you know, whenever people are.

It's consistent, dude. Like, every time you look at chat, like, you'll see all of the nice things and you just see, like, the one dickhead. Well, no, I think, like, Matt, like, at the start of the game, I mean, he hasn't played Codin a really long time. So, like, he's been struggling, like, a little bit at the start of the game. But he has gotten a lot better since then. but like dude he dude you don't just like repick it up instantly no and like all of these players

that he's playing against are grinding war zone every day and like they haven't taken a break from cod whereas he's like kind of coming back from you know six months on valourin or whatever he's been doing i mean just the amount of time he's probably played with a controller and played cod like i'm sure he's just done way more watching of cod than playing in these last however long he's like had a hundred thieves like yeah has he even grinded like that it really is just picking let alone the game just like picking up a controller again after a while from like mouse and key like it was the same for me like it's just weird picking up because i played valorin for like it'll come back but like it's you have to like you have to work to get it back it's not just going to instantly

like like not playing on controller for six months you're going to pick that shit up and it's going to feel weird in your hands and like your hands are going to hurt and you're playing again people that have not stopped playing like havoc. He was number one in rank play in the offseason. Like apathy symphony. Yeah, and that's what Nate's playing against in these eights. Yeah. And like I'm sure... I'm trying to get in some

these aides. Damn. I would uh... Actually, they're fun, but people kill her so hard. I'd love to just... I'm surprised Nate's like dealing with it because I will watch he's probably the stream I've watched the most because every time I'd wake up or anytime I open my Twitch app, he's just fucking live. Yeah.

So I'll watch him and he's like already in eights. And I love Nate. Usually he's at the bottom of the scoreboard. People in his chat are like saying some shit. He's been getting better though. Yeah. But it's like he should be at the bottom of the, like he's not, he's not freak fucking formal who could probably plug in a,

formal could probably get on today, get in those eights. And within like three or four series, like formal's piecing again. Yeah. And like there's only a literally. But he's also still using a controller every day on handily. And he's like in that competitive atmosphere, call out. and fucking he has that in him. Like, Nate's been away from it for so long

to hop back in with guys who live this lifestyle every single day. It's super hard to fucking do. And I can't believe Nate has the balls to stream it. Deal, look at chat and, like, just deal with that fucking

eight to ten hours a day or how long he's doing. He's got some... No, that part alone, dude. So people like fucking poking the bear. But, like, for him to be able to get through this.

I know a lot of people that won't stream. I know a lot of people that won't stream until they feel like they're at like a certain point. Bro, I mean, they'll just play offline. They won't fucking stream themselves. I almost feel like that.

I did that with Tarkov. I like, I like refused to stream Tarkov because I was so bad at it when I first started playing it. And like I still haven't streamed it just because I've been doing other shit. I feel like that in this call of duty. Like I plan on right when Kod drops. I'm going to be streaming it every single day.

And then like it dropped. I just didn't. I was like, dude, I do not want to play pubs. And I was like, we have a tourney soon. I'm going to take like a few day break from streaming or something.

And then once these tourney start, I'm going to start streaming again. Then that day came and I was like, dude, I'm not in the mood to start my stream, play average as fuck in this tournament and just like see my chat talking shit. And it was just like, that's what I fucking did in this game.

And I think now I'm at a point where it's like, I think I'm going to, I'm going to start streaming again. And then the G. I just don't, I just don't read chat like whenever I do. Yeah, if I'm,

If I'm in a, I'd rather just listen to music and be in my own world. If I'm in a serious match, I'm minimizing my chat. Yeah, if I'm like, usually when I'm in a tournament, I like, I minimize my chat. Yeah. Unless I'm fucking peering. If you're frying, you bring your chat back up. Yeah, I pull that shit back up. I'm like, holy shit.

Give me some gas. The problem's the fucking need for like grinding through this and literally showing like the ups and the downs. Because when he does do good and he does pop off, like people. People, it's like two sides of it. Like yesterday, what he dropped, like, 14 in the, in the tourney for the, for the dub? 17. 17? Yeah, he went off.

Yeah, Nate had to bounce back off that terminal 60. I went back to watch because, like, I was like, man, I got to, like. Dude, the terminal was rough. Yeah, no, I was like, when Nick was getting shot at in an airplane and I just executed him, I was like, am I just going to shoot him in the back? Or do I want to, like, tilt him? No, that was, that was fucked up. Because it definitely tilted him. Oh, yeah, dude.

Because, like, I don't think any other. had a kill yet. I think I had like, I had like seven and they all had this. I saw three donuts. I'm like, oh. And then you assassinated him and I was like, oh my God. Like he's got to be seething. I was mad when the game ended and everyone had a kill. I was like, God, fucking, you wanted to goose somebody? Someone just goose like, yeah. That's fucked. Like, I mean, when you get shit on 6-0, it's like, no one wants to get goose, but it's like, it's bound to fucking happen. Is it? Is it because I got, we got 6-0 by Fay's on Miami and I dropped a donut and they still let me hear about it.

Dude, I mean... Like, we got slams. What, if you would have got one kill... It wouldn't have made any difference. It wouldn't have made a difference at all, and it's just... Sometimes it's fucking impossible. No, I don't really look at donuts like that. I was crying when it was you in Skies, like, in a 1v1, and then Nick was just sitting

there just like watching Skies, just like plant the bomb, go around into library, and then just wrap around, go on top. And he's just, like, Skies was literally just watching you, like, kind of just go back and forth there and then Nick was like I just hate S&D so much guys when like where Skies was and then where he went started and then when he where he ends up and like he's keeping track of you and just like the place he's making it's like if you would have dropped on the bomb and then just start disarming it you probably you would have got it but he's doing some like weirdo fucking routes going up the ladder top three slowly checking it it's the thing man you just got to keep moving

then he kills you have a mental plan and you just got to keep moving with your hands too so you have the best fucking timing and shit like that. Like he didn't just like pick a spot and like was watching. Like he just played it so ratty. And I'm just like, dude, I hate God. And I'm like, these are the rat plays I try to make. But I just get picked. There's a ratty game sometimes.

Like there was one time I planted it on high rise at B. Then I just like drop bottom middle. It was only you left. And then I was like, I'm going to just go up blue and like flank around. Like he's got to be like making his way towards like the middle of the map or something. Then I like go up blue and you're just. sitting there pre-aming me and kill me and then it's a one-on-one

these guys were playing so much more like they would like like delayed almost like you guys were just like waiting like another five or ten seconds to like start doing your thing and we're waiting for you to make a mistake and then you make the mistake and then I make the mistake

and I'm like I fucking knew it I knew I shouldn't have done that shit fucking bottom blue you guys you love this shit huh we keep we keep bringing up the GCCS so many times dude it's haunting us man I hope you know that, man. I'm sorry.

Don't fucking say sorry. At this point, I wish you guys would have rather won. Oh, I'd have loved to win. Because our team didn't give a fuck. I'm telling you, our team wanted to lose almost. Is that what it put? I felt like we wanted to lose. I think Dautu's played like three series in the whole thing.

Tush broke his GoXLR earlier in the day. We were about to play with the fill-in. He broke his GoXLR earlier earlier today. Oh, we were watching. We were like. And we didn't think we were going to play with him. And then he gets on and he was just trolling. And then he says,

you, Seth, listen to this. And he cracks a Miller light before Map 4. That's hilarious. We were getting mad. We started yelling at him and he's like, keep yelling at me.

I'll chug it right now. We were getting mad because like, because you guys were about to play Dashie and you guys were like, should we get methods? And then we were like, oh, come on. No,

they said, Nate chat was like, yo, you think we could get formal one for this? And I just typed in a chat, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. I was like, formal would get on this shit and fucking. Well, no, it was going to be formal with mouse and key.

We weren't going to allow him play with him droid. Even then. Even then? No. He's still sure? Even then. Just his fucking... Dude, his comms?

Just gamer freak brain would have just been good. I need a brain dead idiot. Because that's how I feel when I play. Anyways, what's next? Whatever. We talked about this shit from three, four, five different hens. We've got Tifu. He's back.

The Tifu return. Did you guys? expect Tefu to come back? Kind of. It's like what else is he? More of these kick deals came in? Like I kind of figured it was eventually going to happen. Tifu was gave away 100 racks.

Or he is a legend, but Tifu, I used to run Tifood's Discord a little bit. They were like Tifu Customs or something when I was in my like Fortnite era. It'd be like two, three, four a.m. and I'm like running Tifu customs, like doing the countdown and everything.

We have like 85. fucking people in there. How much was he giving away at a time? I don't know. What is this? Maybe $1,000. It looks like they're banded up. So probably like $1,000.

It's kind of weird, man. This whole like content is becoming like the IRS. I don't want to say weird. Not about the games anymore. Well, it's definitely not about the games anymore. Well, it still is about the games. But it's just like giving away free money. It's like.

It's like clickbait, clickbait thing. Yeah. Even like with Mr. Beast video, I was like, I feel like they're not... Some of his... Just lately, some of his videos is just like... Bro, his videos gets so many views

because there's no fucking... There's no way maniac should be able to say Mr. B's videos have been less creative, but like... I don't know. Bro, in like two hours, he'll get like a million likes. I'm like, what? He's figured out the fucking formula.

Broke out. I feel like people... Broke out of the matrix. And I feel like they feel like this as well. like Tif, like, what would be something that everyone would tune into if Tifu just stood there and, like, just started giving away money? Like, what does that say?

50, did that say 60 million? 66 million three days ago, bro? I do like that. I build 100 wells. I mean, I don't even know what my point would be with Mr. B's. But he's figured out a fucking formula. Like, he just crushes cars.

He crushes, or traps, or crushes trained, goes on big boats. I think my favorite thing that he's ever done is probably, I love his main channel and just like, dude, just the number of like 200 million subs is crazy. But like I, I fuck with the, all of his other channels in different languages, dude. And him getting like actors to, like from different like places of the country to just like translate his videos and all that.

He has so many channels, bro. It is. Yeah, I'm not trying to like, I don't even know what my point. It is with Mr. Bees, but like, like the Squid Game shit. That shit was fucking insane. Like, I love movies like that. But then there's just other videos where it's like, I don't know. It seems like they just have like $1 versus $1 million hotel room.

I feel like. But he's done that with so many different things. Yeah, well, I feel like it. But I like them. I watch all of the videos. Well, at a certain point, there's what else can you do? Yeah. You know?

No, he's figured out his niche. And I don't even know my point. I'm not trying to hate it all. I actually watch all the Mr. Bees's video. Oh no, I'm not hated at all. I'm prison. Two years ago, I never saw Mr. Bees' video. And Hitch was telling me like, dude.

You got to watch him. Yeah, you got to watch his fucking videos. And then I started and I, like, haven't stopped. I think I've seen every single Mr. Bees video. Love that shit? Kind of. It's like a, get a meal, sit on my bed or sit on my couch, watch a Mr. Bees video, live in the moment for 15 minutes.

What do you think people are eating, like, listening to this video? Uh, what time does this come out? Probably basic shit. Chicken tenders. Chicken tenders, fries, hot dogs, pizza. That's what I imagine our audience eats. These shorts views are insane. Hold on.

981 million. Shorts in general are fucking insane. That's absurd. He was giving away iPhones instead of candy on Halloween. So I guess Tifu's playing Fortnite again. I mean this was I guess his first stream but it's like is he he's for sure just gonna like kick back on the games dude

I think or is he gonna do some like IRL shit I feel like all the popular streamers now or at least all the popular ones they get publicity it's like they just do some fucking weird IRL shit It's all IRL Aiden Snecoeon

Yeah fighting Zerca This other fucking roasting people being disrespectful and shit. I swear. It's weird nowadays, man. It's getting little. I see, like, personally, I could just

never do that. Like, I just, I'm not built like that. Last video, so it was like this. It's not built like that. This, like, nerd, Jack Doherty or whatever. You got to wake up. You walk through the mall like this

and it's just like, kind of like bumping into people. And that he just has his fucking security behind him, like six foot 10, 350 pound fucking huge dude. It's just like, if anything does happen. but just pisses me off, like, people, even though you're about to,

I don't want to say ruin this, you're walking through the mall like this and you're just, like, bumping people. I'm like, you, you are annoying. You're annoying. And it's like, you're gonna, you're like, you're like, you don't know how much you're, like,

ruining this guy's day or like how uncomfortable this person is with the fact that you just did that to them. And it's like, what if they got fucking, like, bullied in their past? And it's like, you just bumped into him. And he's just like, dude, what the fuck? And then you just look at him. like you're all tough, your security's fine.

Like, you're willing to make people super uncomfortable for the sake of you. Like, it's just chat. You know, they're having channel views and like people checking out your shit. Like, shit like that just makes me uncomfortable to watch. Watching people who are comfortable with making people super uncomfortable for the sake of their benefit only and these other people get nothing out of it besides like having a part of their day ruined. To be around that.

I just don't like that kind of stuff. and it seems like just what a lot of big content creation has become. I would just hate to be around that. Not that Tifu does that. Yeah, you're really spitting off this Tifu. Welcome back.

You're segwaying off this shit. Welcome back to do any of that. Tifu is one of my favorite streamers. Obie comes back, Fortnite, OG Fortnite's about an end. Is it really? Yeah.

It's about the end? I think they only did it for a month. Oh, really? Really? Like the map's already deforming and shit. So you're telling me, we were sitting there, for something that was just going to end?

We didn't even get our dove. We never got our dove. We and him were playing like duo Fortnite no builds, and we were just raging. It was so... I was watching Nick's Pover. Dude, so like. Are you playing controller or most of the keyboard?

Go-based matchmaking too. I started on mouse and key, and then I got bullied into trying controller, and controller was better. Controller's better. It's for certain things, but then it's like, I feel like I couldn't.

maneuver the way I wanted to with controller. I couldn't, like, get mixy at all. And it was just, like, slower, but my aim was better. I didn't know what the fuck to do. But, yeah, back to Tifu. Hopefully everything's going well for him. I know that he was having, like, a little bit, you know, some mental strain, I guess, from streaming.

So hopefully everything's going good with Big Turner. Yeah. Hopefully he finds better pastures on his way back into streaming. Wish that for everyone. Low reset. Correct. Um, what do we got next? Oh shit, let's talk about this a little bit.

We got formal and Brandon. Finally, you don't want to do the one above it? No, which is that? Kid swing on each other. MW3 lands. Oh, let's do that one after maybe. Actually, let's go. We'll do it really quick.

What the fuck is going on? I saw this. I mean, about fucking time, man. People talk so much shit. If you're talking shit in game, like you fucking suck. You're so bad. Oh, that's me and Nick. Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah, that's fine. I'm just swinging on Nick. No, that's me. I pick up and plant the fucking bomb, dude. That's me tackling fucking Nate shot. Play the fucking bomb, Nick. That bomb, Nick. Look at the fucking icon, dude.

But I mean, it's bound to happen. The amount of shit talk that goes on. I mean, it doesn't even look like anything really happened. It was like a little tackle. Yeah. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. I never want to see this. Some people do deserve to get hurt.

Let's make that. very clear. There's some motherfuckers that definitely deserve to get hurt, but if it's just like if you're at a land, I guess this was a land tournament and you're just

talking shit about the game, you're in the match, talking shit, you win, you stand up, talk shit, it's like fine, whatever. Sometimes you just got to hold that out, but fighting, it might just happen. It happens, it might happen every now and then, because

people say a lot of crazy shit especially if like people come from different areas of life some kid might have grew up fighting a little bit and then he sees his fucking little nerd just has some balls that just like talk shit on him. Look him in the eye

and talk shit just hitting the perfect snakes on a head he just ripping your dome and that's how I felt yesterday last night something bad must happen with someone now. Dude we can't stop moving it up dude oh my god

yeah but yeah Cod's back. I don't ever condone fighting. But, I mean, if he said some crazy shit, he probably deserved it. I don't know. You just never know. There's always sides to the story. You never know what was said.

You don't know who started it. All we get is a fucking 11 second video through a camera. And now locals look a little bit more kind of bad. Oh, there's always some cod thing that pops up. And then everyone's like, this is the cod community. Like, that shit always happens. Ends up in another gaming crew. Or whatever it.

Look at those fuckers over in Cod. They still don't know how to act. It was fucking call duty kids fucking throwing hands. They always do that. But yeah, I don't condone. I don't condone it. But if it must be done, it must be done. He said some crazy shit.

He got to get checked. Yep. But who knows? Who knows? And honestly, who cares? That's yesterday's news at this point. It is. You know?

Yeah, that's how I look at everything. But let's go. Let's move on to some, I guess this is kind of sad news as well, but formal and Brandon are moving downtown. That means that officially the hex quarters. Has no more residence. Yeah, the hex quarters is no more. Is the hex quarters done officially, Matt?

Like, has everything moved out? On the 30th, the hex quarters is officially no longer. So I feel bad for, I feel bad for formal and, or for Matt and Brandon, just because, like, I mean, change is always pretty hard, I think. I think especially for them. Yeah. Because they are creatures of habit. And they, like, they love the hex quarters.

Like, that place, like, they, that's like their fucking, basically their home. Like, I feel like they spent more time there, maybe even than their apartments. Especially, yeah, literally. I mean, it was probably close. They wake up, shower sometimes, maybe. They'd wake up shower and just go to, walk over to the hexquarters, order food from there, go down, get their food. And they'd be hanging out.

Get their eyes, coffee. They'd be both hanging out at 5 a.m. When their gaming session is over. Like, I feel bad for him, but hopefully, hopefully it's a smooth transition and they, and they, you know, they like the downtown life. Because I feel like, I mean, obviously this, this office space is better than the headquarters. I mean, it's just, it's just more professional, bigger, more room. It's a lot more homey in there. But in the headquarters?

Yeah, for sure. But, like, here is like, you just, it's just, you know, state of the art facility and the heart of downtown Dallas. What else can you say? Yep. So hopefully it goes well. for them and they find that they like it here. I am worried for them a little bit because... We just got to figure something out for them.

Walking back to their apartments from here at night is sketchy, and they get off at like four. So, like, they got to be... Because at the hex quarters, nobody's fucking... Nobody's sketchy is at the ex-quarters. Yeah, you're in Friscoe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But downtown, you know, walking past maybe some sketchy characters,

you never know, at 4 a.m., nothing good happens at 4 a.m. I'm just thinking where are they going to... stream from because I know I've talked to Formal about it and he was he's not excited about one moving to the city I think he's going to stream from his place I don't even think Fourwell's going to play from here I think Brandon's going to play from here because I mean like where would they go because I I I I all used to stream in the hex quarters like formal walk in I'd be streaming but I'd stream like three hours and then I'm done and then he's kind of starting his but it's like now I stream a little longer and I think they were just going to put us all like over there

and it's just like I just know I'm so loud and obnoxious and I'm like formal was not gonna yeah like formal would just get pissed and like even if like I think dashy will probably play from like the cod room or something I don't think they'll like put him out there but yeah I was just like I don't know

how this is gonna work and if formal has to like be out here in like the fucking bullpen area or whatever you want to call it just that area over there I can't picture it might rage but I can see him just getting like I don't think he's gonna. I mean, he doesn't have,

I don't think he has fucking furniture and shit. I'm sure he can find space in his apartment. I'm sure he got a, I'm sure he got a nice place. He'll probably just set up his stuff there and stream from there. Maybe imagine formal turns on his stream and it's just like this high quality camera.

You see the whole city out his window. Transition. Just a whole new fucking formal vibe. Just crazy transitions. He might end up loving it. He becomes like a city boy. He might love it. He's running every day.

Yeah. imagine running around downtown Dallas fucking he might like it but I know just 4-1 Brandon Creatures a habit they had they had their route from whenever they started going to the hex quarters they did the same thing every single

day yeah wake up shower brush teeth get to the hex quarters and then that's where they spend their day that was like their safe space they just felt comfortable there so yeah big change and you will see I mean it's depending on

formal and dashy but you'll be seeing them in content more now rather than formal formal and dashy ain't trying to come down here drive 40 minutes no wake up at fucking 830 in the morning to catch a uber or something that's not their lifestyle no they are maybe you'll be seeing them in more content they are straight gamers right now i do hope they find fun down here though they will i hope they find some fun they will for sure you know what i mean the random days we do something, which isn't often, but maybe they'll come out with us. Yeah. We haven't done shit

in a long time. But I mean, the new outside of content. I'm fine with not doing anything. You mean outside of content? I'm just like, no, I'm just like going out or hanging out. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. We haven't really, we should do, we got to find a reason for everyone to go out. It ain't done shit since like summer.

Like early summer. But that's going to do it for the podcast today. I hope you guys did enjoy this episode. We covered a lot of call duty content today. We had a couple other topics that we didn't end up getting to just because these boys right here,
