Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Optic Podcast, episode 176, brought to you by Shopify and Mountain Dew.
A very special episode today.
I'm joined by the absolute gentleman, the champions of Toronto.
He got Ken, MVP, A.G and Brandon.
Boys, how does it feel?
Amazing, man.
Finally got one on the board.
This is AGs and Ken's first ship for the Greenwall.
My second one.
Are you doing the AG voice?
Man.
It's in media.
I got it from AG.
That's that shit.
That's shit.
That's good, man.
It feels great, man.
Does it feel different for Optic compared to, like,
because you won on Seattle, you won for Thieves?
Obviously, I mean, you won a world championship,
but I feel like the pressure is the highest here, right?
Kind of like if you play for the Yankees, for example,
like you have a very passionate fan base where it's like
when things are going well, you hear it, and when things aren't, you also hear it. So to this one,
how does it feel? Definitely, you definitely feel the pressure. I feel like, for me, at least,
like, from being on the other side of it, like, you never really, like, look at it like that.
Like, I don't know how to explain it. Like, for me, I feel like this win was like,
it's super, super high on my, like, list of wins just because of the fact that, like,
when I took my head set off, like, taking my head set off at the bathroom one was, like, insane.
And like I slowly took it off
And now I just could hear the crowd
And like granted all my wins
You could hear the crowd
But this one definitely felt
I think it was an energy from like the team
And then also like that
Screaming after was just kind of nuts
Not gonna lie
That's my favorite part about winning
Like online is like
Taking off your headset
Is like because like you realize
How loud it is
Because like you could hear it
And then like you take it off
And it's like holy shit
It feels like
The entire rate is on their feet
And it just like
It was also a hometown win for you Canada
I mean how did that feel
You had a lot of family
there and you had some friends there so that must have felt good i mean like yeah it was nice just
just because like i guess it was back home in canada but it was also nice because holy shit we've
been fucking getting railed in toronto recently eh like like that the past couple years i've not
treated the kid well so nice for for the buddy to get one on the board eh the buddy
what uh i love toronto man honestly let's just talk toronto how do you guys feel about
the city the tournament that's amazing man yeah two out of three there that's 66% great so
She had the best.
She hosts world.
I'm two out of three there, so I hope we keep having Toronto tournaments.
Talk to Ernie.
Maybe get champs going on there.
But yeah, now going on with what they said.
Honestly, the way we won, like, the last three minutes of that Rio,
like, leading into how loud the crowd was was,
was like, you couldn't have wrote it any better, honestly.
Like, that was like, if we could ride away to, like, go out and win a tournament,
like, 4-0, last three minutes of that Rio,
and then, like, the way the crowd was, was fucking insane.
The high-rise search against phase for me was like,
Fuck yeah.
Because like you guys, you guys bottled it online.
And like everyone was talking about that.
It was just like you guys had some man up advantages.
And then you went out there and you won high-rise search against phase online.
And I think that was like when I looked at you guys, oh, they're winning today.
Like as soon as you guys won the high-rise church, I was like, oh, the series is over.
They're winning the tournament.
And then Ultra got fucking slammed.
Ultra had no chance.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, respectfully, like that map pool, that had no chance.
But like, I don't know what the fuck.
I don't know if they want the Toronto Cush or some shit
When they pick sub-based map one good side
But I don't know and he said
Oh dear they we play the map good they just got more kills in us
Fuck no that's not why we won
We won that map because you get that's what he said that when they beat us in the post game
Like fuck no that's not why you guys won
I mean why you guys like didn't win
They weren't even on the hill for half the map in the grand finals
That's same dude
You go watch by the P5 they sent K-5 next to the bro
He Kleenex is running on the hill on B5
And he's the only first is like laying down
in the snow in the open like
Jamie's top P5
they're not getting on B5
I felt bad out
I was crying
bro I watched that bag I'm like bro they are sending
Kleenex to the
damn it's a slavage
Invasion Control O win
3-1 6-3
you're gonna get one on Invasion
there was no life
they had no life at all
like throughout the whole
every map there's nothing like
there's no like thing that cling on to
what was the next couple maps
after that there's the name nothing
what's the next couple of maps
Karachi S&D.
We would at Karachi, S&D.
It's got a been a 7-O-Rashie in search Rio.
I swear those maps are gone, like,
brisk.
No, they are too.
If we could pick Ola maps, it would probably be them.
Yeah.
What are we getting?
I just don't get what is another hot point.
Yeah.
That shit is crazy.
Huh?
Because what is there?
There's two controls, two S&D.
There should be three hard points.
There should be three hard points.
It should be three hard points.
Not two, two, three.
2 2 2 3 it's 2 to 3 I agree there should be 3 I feel like there should be 3 2 2 2
2 2 3 hard points 2 controls 2 searches I think there should still be 3 3 3 3 3rd I think I just
I just think game 7 should be a hard point I think that of me way no no yeah yeah so
that's an unpopular opinion really for a game 7 hard point yeah yeah people bro
they still game 7 7
Gaines NS&D is big time.
But imagine Bruce getting that clutch in a Game 7.
I think the series has to end in search just because, like, how blood pumping the actual rounds are.
I think a hard point would bang, bro.
I can't like, I feel like game 6 control is so shit, though.
I think it depends on the hard point.
Like, it has to be games.
Like, imagine that Rio hard point game.
Like, I feel like, granted we slammed, but like I feel like a close hardpoint game 7 would bang.
Like a round 11 SD is like.
A close one, yeah.
Round 11 search can't be a match though, I feel like.
Nah, around 11 game 7 would be insane.
Imagine that cool. It's like the entire crowd's quiet. But at the same time, imagine that one row, 200, 200.
That's what I'm saying. But I get it, but I think game seven is just more consistent.
I think game six control is the issue. Because there's always going to be a team that's up three, too. There's always a team that has the potential to win the chip on game six. And I feel like winning it on the control is not the other team. I wasn't like that. I'm down for one control.
Like just get rid of hard points, three searches one control. Yeah. Or the map three and then you go from HB S and D. You know what I mean? Like what should be. It should be three.
One's shit.
We're going back and forth.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Just dopamine game modes.
Like Toronto's lit, I'll tell you that.
Holy.
Actually, if I could live there, actually.
I'm telling, dude, it's a dope city.
It's walkable.
The food's good.
Taxes are.
I like their letters.
All right, taxes are definitely.
Everyone's about, like, health over there.
Like, when we're on their way to the hotel, like the, what's that, like, place called?
Like, that lake area?
The fucking beach or whatever the fuck.
There's a hell of people running over there.
Oh yeah, like when our Uber
So much people running like I'm saying at least
Like I saw at least 400,000
It's like a lot of park
It's like a massive lake
And everyone's just running around
I don't think I've seen it
It's like 50, it's like 20 minutes away
From downtown
We'll go on the way
Like from the airport
Oh from the airport
Oh the lake
I used to walk that every day
When I live there
Yeah yeah
Yeah, like seeing people like that like
It's just cool
Just because that city's all about
That gives me like crazy Australia vibes
That's how it is in Australia
Like everyone just walking
Like need the lakes and shit
You can kind of do whatever you want
It's like you know
if you want to go for a run or go walk to Lake Shure,
then you have the nightlife area.
Then you have like the walking parks area.
It's like Toronto has like pretty much.
Everything that you want to do.
Anything that I think is dog shit is just the sports, I feel like.
Like the actual sports teams?
I don't have one NBA, like the Raptors.
I don't know.
Well, the Maple Leafs there is their biggest team.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't really.
I guess I guess I don't know.
I guess Westbow with the Mavs and shit.
Yeah, the Leafs are huge.
The Raptors, I think I was there for the Raptors win.
That was crazy.
Yeah, I think I was there.
Yeah, I think I was there.
That was a short stint, though.
When they had the, when they had client shit, that would have been lit to live in Canada.
Oh my God.
Imagine going to the Raptors game to a Leaves game.
Actually, you'd be shocked.
Well, because you're a basketball guy, so I guess like, but like the Blue Jays are pretty big fan base.
The Leafs are probably the most popular team in the country.
Yeah, like in the whole league.
The least that they haven't like actually done anything in playoffs for a while.
I've been watching hockey like that.
That's probably well.
Yeah, dude, hockey's, you just aren't watching hockey.
The stars right here?
Yeah.
The stars are a bit unreal.
I've never been to.
hockey game. You be, I've been the one.
Hockey's, especially playoff hockey's
not a good one. Which one?
I just feel like that we went to.
It was Kings and fucking,
oh, that was the way I took a pick with the
shit.
Yeah, that's that one.
What's the one ice thing?
Oh yeah. The food there in Toronto is.
Disney on ice is there.
No, no, no.
The, what is it called?
The jamboni.
Zamboni.
Zamboni.
Oh, we brought the zamboni.
Yeah.
What's that?
It's the thing that like
after every intermission
Oh yeah
Yeah
They'll like read like like
Like refreshing up the ice
Yeah
Yeah, brand it all that shit
But I was so fun
I was driving that shit
You really?
No, I wasn't
I was like the passenger
I was running shotgun
I was just on that
I was whipping that
And I'm just in the crowd like it
I'll tell you
That was so funny
That was good though
That was a good game
Toronto's like a
Smaller cleaner in New York
Is the way I put it
Yeah
It's got everything New York has
But it's cleaner
You know
You don't
You can walk home
at 2 a.m. after a bar in Toronto and feel completely safe.
Like you're not out there freaking out or looking over your shoulder, really.
Of course it happens every now and then.
But you know what I mean.
It's just you feel good there.
You get that safe vibe.
It was also a great event to win.
Because I, first of all, I think Toronto throws a great event.
Like that venue's dope for an event.
For us, we have like a beautiful view of this stage and everything.
Now, the event's a dub always.
But then also you're going into the major four.
So it's like, that's why I'll...
Hopefully you guys go out there and win that.
But like winning Toronto where it's like the last major with fans before chance.
It's like that one's way more fun to win than major for.
Obviously you want to win it, but you know what I mean.
Like just that atmosphere and actually feeling like you're at an event is like night and day different compared to us.
I'm just excited for the food, bro.
I think L.A. got the best food by far.
But it's not even close.
You've been scouting though. You've been scouting for years now.
Yeah, but like when it comes to city, bro, I swear L.A. food.
Yeah, they have good food.
Like the variety of food they have and it's like the, like how, like the quality of it is just, it's not matched.
I'm not going to want.
Like Toronto, I don't even remember what I.
I think the croissant was godlike
the croissant okay that was good but I was where
everybody eats at Toroni like that place is like
the only place everybody goes to the
Casamoto place was actually very far but Japanese
spot yeah the Casamota places
but at that point I was so hungry
that I think any of the fire I gotta say this man
like it's it's great over there man
seriously like can we have the 20 V1 at Casamoto
dude Casamoto
That's sort of God I'm so down
I swear to God I'm so down I swear to God I fly tomorrow
I'm fucking that place probably has like the best vibe
in the city when it comes to just like a nice dinner
on a rooftop.
No, that place was a vibe.
So,
so.
Does like the NHL players
at that place out?
Oh, yeah.
Well, dude,
that's where I met
the NHL player that night.
I was walking to the bathroom.
Of course he's there.
He knows the prospects are there.
Jordan,
uh,
well,
dude,
because one of the ultra owners owns Casamoto.
So we used to always go there.
So,
and it's also,
so Yorkville and Toronto
was kind of like the brickle of Miami,
right?
It's like the super bougie,
nice area.
So Casamato,
just like a beautiful Japanese restaurant.
They just really did their patio.
It's like,
uh,
The rooftop is a vibe.
Yeah, so it was, that place, the food's good, the drinks are good, the vibe is even better.
But I was walking to the bathroom and an NHL player for the blues was like, Zinny.
And I was like, yo.
And I never met him before.
He called you Zinn?
Yeah, he was like, yo, Zinn.
And I was like, yo, he goes, your friends with Marins, right?
I was like, yeah, he goes, dude, I love what you guys do.
And then on Sunday night when we went out to celebrate, you met him.
He was like, is that pred?
It was the first guy you dapped up when you walked in.
Oh, what the fuck?
That was the NFL player, yeah.
I was on Mars.
Yeah.
Yeah, you remember that.
Dude, the owner was vibe.
He literally, he's like, as he's walking me up, escorting me almost,
he was like, man, love what you do.
He's like, congrats, man.
But we're watching.
I'm like, it's fucking let it already.
I'm like, it's fucking hit it.
You appreciate it, man.
Is that the place where, like, you walk to, too flat stairs?
It's just, the steps, I'm not going to lie.
If you're slosh, the steps are kind of, yeah, the steps are kind of
check out.
The steps are steep.
I'm telling you're not one person in the night falls down.
What was that last year?
Like the rooftop Japanese spot?
Like, like last year, right?
Everyone went there?
I didn't know that.
I think so.
I'm not sure if I was what you guys last year there.
I was a actor randomly.
Oh, probably, though.
We're there for 15 minutes we did.
Probably.
Is it a love shot?
This gets a celebrity.
I don't know.
It gives me like a, well, it gave me like Uchibati, like Vives.
Like Uchibov vibes.
Now, the food of Uchibah though is insane.
There's a bar there, everyone's fucking waiting.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Everyone in their mom.
It's like in the little alleyway,
and there's like people waiting in the alley to get upstairs.
Wait, what's that street called?
Or what's that place?
Like that area?
Yorkville.
That place is kind of like, I'm not going on.
That's where like shopping.
Like, I like, like, it's almost like a fashion district.
I like stuff like that.
Yeah.
That's where like Kith and, uh, Kith is Stone Island.
Yeah.
It's very,
it's literally all the bougie shops and it's like.
I was kind of pissed I didn't get to get to go to Kith, but.
Does this have caffeine in it?
Who's this?
Who got the Grande Machia?
Wava.
I don't even know.
I'm saying that right.
Oh, shit.
Oh.
Breaking the first Call of Duty black op.
teaser is here. Okay.
Now it's starting to get the best time
of the year. The boys are winning.
We're getting cold duty trailers.
I'm pissed that it's not Black Ops 5.
Wait, what is it? Like, Dickling Cold War was Black O'
Offs, we can't, Cold War
was ass. Wait, does that say Blackop Six?
My bad, Cold War.
It feels like a slender man fucking
fucking like. I'm scary, movie. Yeah, like I feel like somebody's
about pop up. They ain't
no way this is the teaser.
What is this?
It's like among us, dude.
But it's like that game
you guys are playing lethal company.
This looks like it does.
Content warning.
So it's like a
IRL like teaser.
Wait, so Black Op 6?
Dude, what?
Black Op.
6?
How does it go from Black Ops 4 to Black Op 6?
Cold War's technically that's what I'm saying.
Oh, real.
Because it was apparently was Black Outs Cold War.
Yeah, it was.
Ah, okay.
I felt like Cold War wasn't a part of the Black Op's theme
because the Blackop, like,
B.O, 2, B, 0, 3, B, 4.
They're all, like, newer gen, like,
like, a futuristic, you know, theme.
Like, the game, like, that's my favorite part
about, like, the Black Opsons, is, like,
how they're, like, in the future almost.
And Cole, I love that way.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it's triarch, though,
because Cold War was godlike.
Yeah, like, Cold War's maps and, like...
Yeah.
I think the TTC.
I love using the Craig.
But I think of it, like, almost...
It was, like, one year...
Because think about it.
I only had one year to, like,
make the game.
What is that?
You would have love Cold War.
Yeah?
You would have love Cold War.
I played like a little bit.
I only played like Australian challenges.
It was very like pre-ame like strafe heavy, 70 for you.
Dude, that game was that was that was in my opinion the best competitive game we've had since.
Black Cops 4?
Yeah, I mean, definitely since.
That's another chair game.
It's definitely the best, it's definitely the best CDL ever like competitive call of duty easily.
Oh, CDO.
It's based on like maps and way competitively.
I feel like Bangkok more than fucking Cold War.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, you're selfishly.
That's because you're replaced, though.
You were a bow cage fucking window ladder.
I'll put this game over Cold War.
What you say?
I'll put this game over Cold War.
This game?
This game.
I didn't play.
Like, this is probably the most fun, like, CDL game, in my opinion.
That's, in my opinion.
And I think it actually plays like a good God.
I don't know how to explain that.
But, like, the flow of this game feels good.
And the gun play is good.
I think, like, the maps are,
old ones,
like nostalgic,
but like they don't play
like they used to.
So like,
that's what I think the,
I just think the games,
this game's got like I was there.
What do you think?
Honestly,
yeah,
I mean,
I felt like the most fun I had
was definitely my first year.
I mean,
I'm biased,
obviously,
but,
and then,
yeah,
Cold War in this game
definitely go neck to neck
just because they make
the most sense.
Like,
in this game,
obviously,
like,
there's fucking weird ass spawns
to make zero sense sometimes,
but...
I've seen the maps
are just like,
on this game,
like,
I don't know.
I feel like the new maps kind of saved the game.
Also, we'll say that this is the first game that's made
Oh, for sure.
Like, a new original map and they're actually good.
They made multiple of them.
Like, Vista Rio and Six Star, you need a fucking pay race.
They made multiple of them though.
Like, that's, I think that's typical.
Whoever changed the six star spawns needs to get fucking fired.
Six Star Hills.
Oh yeah, never heard that shit.
It might have been the same guy that made them.
All they have to do is, in my opinion, like, dude, I actually like to pull Hill,
not just because we have Sharksy, but just because like...
No, hold on.
Sorry, go ahead.
Go ahead.
No, but like, dude.
Because I actually have a funny story.
Actually, I don't know if I could say it on stream or on broadcast.
No, do it.
And then he can cut it if it's shit.
Like, in my opinion, the only hill that, like, maybe that had to go is maybe the pool hill.
But the other four hills actually made sense.
You know what I mean?
The spons.
They feel like they kind of made sense.
They're changing it.
They're changing.
That was our one crazy.
No, no, no.
So the office, you know how it's in the office?
It's fucking Opie.
Yeah.
They're going back to the old one before?
The stage.
Stage.
Why aren't they just go back to the pit?
Pretty sure it's going to be stage.
they might go to pit
but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be stage
and then maybe P3
I could see maybe P3
but I don't think that was bad
The only hill people were complaining about
was the water
and now I was gonna say
I don't know how you're so
consistently good in the water
Dude it's like
No but I know it's sharksy
But it's like
Every time you're in a fight in the water
You win it
I'm like we're like
You're like one shot getting knated
And like people are like pinching you
And we're like how the fuck is it
How are you getting out of it?
All it takes is really
And now we're like keep the hill the same
Don't say
Don't say anything.
Yeah, he's like, it's getting changed.
It doesn't matter.
You know what I used to, every time I see an water, I just know he's staying a lot or something,
I just go outer and child the guy and every time I see the guy just like, NPCs trying to look in the water for sharksy.
He told me he's dirty straight.
It's actually dirty.
Now that I'm like, when I think about it, wow.
Dirty.
When I watch his pop in there, like it makes so much sense.
Is it dirty?
It's actually so dirty.
My pop in there is, dude, my pop when I see the hill is like yellow.
But Bruce is on top of the water spraying his MCW at the water.
Just fucking.
Who was it, Real?
Real's unfucking, he's, I don't think it's possible to shoot him in the water.
I think he has a glitch or something.
Oh, dude, I wanted to talk to you guys about the switch you guys flipped from Saturday to Sunday.
Because Saturday, you guys looked okay, but you guys didn't look like at that point.
After the Miami series, I was like, okay, they're going to have to wake up different to go beat phase and ultra tomorrow.
How was the, I guess, how did you guys feel after Miami?
I'm sure you felt great.
I mean, you were just dropping your fucking sack all over Miami.
How did the team, I guess, feel after Saturday going into Sunday?
Like, were you guys still completely confident?
Were you like, we're playing like shit?
What was the thought process after Saturday?
I was like, we're playing like shit.
What was they?
I said I was on the way we're playing like shit.
Yeah, no, I think we were.
I was kind of just like on the way of like just get through this day.
Yeah.
After we lost to like Toronto, like just get to Sunday.
But I feel like, I mean, we went back.
We went, we got on Discord.
We got on the phone and like talked about like a lot of stuff.
But I think like the ultimate like consensus of like the,
conversation was like we just need to like use teamwork and like do stuff together and like
come with like some different energy and I feel like the biggest thing was like control and a lot of
time the control we were just like basically like doing too much assuming I guess yeah we just
weren't really what was in front of us yeah and if you watch our Saturday control even fucking
Thursday compared to our Sunday it's late 9th I mean even our Sunday against in and against New York
we did the same shit no yeah we did the same thing because we got three o'd in fucking 10 seconds
And like, but we were like, the thing is we were just more, we were just trying to be more active on like all the stuff that we spoke about and just trying to imply it.
That was like a big thing.
And we just went over a lot of our S&D shit because I feel like our S&D won different pages.
Because we knew we couldn't win a tournament.
You can't win the tournament without being, without not knowing what you're doing in S&D.
Like we had so many, like, misplays and mis-understandings of what everyone was doing.
So basically we just made sure we got on the same page.
That was like the biggest thing.
It's getting on the same page, understanding what we need to do.
So then if someone doesn't do it, it's.
like there's no excuse not to be able to do it because we all spoke about it you know what
mean so fair yeah it's a big um we we played like shit on saturday to be honest but no i mean
sunday for me i mean it really was the search that stood out to me i mean i said it earlier like
the high-rise search first phase but you guys on sunday look like a completely different
search team that you had the rest of the weekend instead of getting blooded you guys were
and then your man-up situations were good i mean brandon your one v3 was fucking legacy like
i didn't think you're like like who who who gets
a 1v3 like that and that type of fashion against a team like that like it would just during it
or before you're like no way and then it happens you're like oh my god that is a legacy 1v3
he had his Canadian chopahagan that's what he did and MC came looking for her and got slapped
in the skull with it and draw that man there was a stat on Twitter you see your reaction time in that
clutch like I saw I saw but like I don't like know how to like so you were preaming dark because
I think Droz was coming through dark,
and then Cell comes and pitches you to kill you off bomb.
You had a 0.15 reaction,
0.15 MS reaction time to snap on him.
That's Champ Sunday reaction.
Matt, what's the average MS reaction time in a human?
Point 15.
I can it's like 30.
It's probably like 200 or 230.
No, it's pretty high.
Point 15 in like a, dude, I don't think you guys realized.
I didn't know how to like be gas off it because I'm like,
just know it is insane.
The average human reaction time is between 100,
150 and 300 milliseconds.
If it was 150,
and yours was,
was it 15 or point 15?
I think it was probably 15,
probably 15 MS.
15 MS.
Yeah, so that,
150?
That is like,
can we switch up for dragons,
though?
What if it's like 1.5 accelerating?
Because we're actually talking about for dragon.
For dragon drink guys right here.
It's not,
this video,
podcast is not sponsored by
podcast.
Honestly, I'm not gonna lie, you fucking melted him.
Actually, uh, yeah.
Oh, did you headshot him? I don't even think when that one, what I thought about, like in the, from the spectator,
you looked like you, it's the really bulleted him.
It was like, uh, I don't know, from my perspective.
Oh, that was dirty.
Yeah, it just made it so much better that was Dries lost alive and he got the first shot off in you,
and he aped you and then you all those fucking scrap-y-ed-red Renetti kills that you were
killed me before that day.
I don't think people understand too.
Like, me and Droz have so much reps in like one v-ones in this game specifically, just because, like,
we always play chowals like against each other and I feel I feel like that one v1 the way he
played it was just one of those were like it just it was more of like a one v1 like throughout like
like our history of just like because I've been in a couple times where I didn't plant the bomb
in that specific situation and then like he's ran away and then he went around or like you know
what I mean so it's like if I I swear I believe this like if that was our very first time in a
one v1 the entire year maybe not the first time but like he wins it yeah because he probably
just checks the bomb right away probably like he's on the bomb but like like I feel like it was more
of like mental game yeah yeah because it was like I know what you do but you know what I do
you know what I'm saying it was more like that he got zapped so he was like damn
emcy had to miss there though because he got first shots too he missed a whole burst he was
probably mind-blown when he died he probably he probably just thought he was he was fucking
he's like oh my fucking guys he got fucking preys on the one-reland that was that was a
that was a dope question look at your cousin's hit his fucking
Losing it that's not way it is that that's not your cousin my cousin is it?
Well I'm pretty sure that's that we just making shit up
I was waiting for and to be like yeah no that's my cousin
And then there's no I'm like I'm way back
Yeah that's why whatever he said it lies out I was like bro yeah
Go back to that guy
I'm pretty sure that's you got the interview was interviewing us
Age you just gave Brandon a cousin yeah he just gave
this is a little interview right
he was the guy that interview
when
after we won
now I do kind of see what you were saying
he looks a little similar to your cousin
I was there

my cousin would not like
one would just be solo like
and then fucking pit
just like
yeah you're like your cousin's insane
I just guys lose it
he cousins lose it
that was a dope
that was dope though
what was it 805 days
since the last optic wind
Yeah, the 8005 days does something new

We can't use most winning us
I'm not hand out no more
We can't
But now we got to win to be most winning us
But we got to say excluding Cam, we got to say Mo's winning.
That was the celebration.
You guys have fun Sunday night in Toronto?
I remember you kept up going to me, yo.
Yeah, I know.
So I'm asking, I'm asking to.
It was great.
It was good.
That was late.
That place we went to, he was five, dude.
I was starving, bro.
Well, it was half a banana, did.
And six Red Bulls.
Well, we got there, too, at the end of the, what game was on?
It was game seven, right?
The Nuggets, Nuggets game.
when wolves were down like 18 whatever and they came back at one so we got there
with like there was like seven minutes left we had like a caban in the back with the
TV and then that was a vibe it was a it was a good time with the King Street I'm not going
a lot like the place was the thing though I was kind of checking the place was fire I just
feel like but me starving for so long I don't think that was the right pick for me
like I thought the place was like godlike but like sushi would like being hungry like you want
like an entree entree yeah I need like a meal you know what I mean like waiting for like
sushi to keep coming out was like oh my yeah no it's definitely more of like a
social sharing place.
Yeah.
But like I was,
bro,
I didn't eat the whole day.
I had nothing.
No,
that's crazy.
I was starving too.
I never eat on tournaments,
but like it was.
Even the dragon is eating more than you guys.
How did you like King Street,
like that,
uh,
like the nightlife,
like street?
How good is the breakfast?
It's a vibe.
I was there when I won last time.
That fettie cash place
is where I went last on.
Oh, petty cash?
Yeah,
we couldn't get in this time.
I lost my mind,
dude.
I was so mad.
That is,
that is criminal.
That was comedy.
It's because,
So Seth was wearing like Lulu Lemon pants, but like...
It's scump.
It's the king.
We're not letting scum.
Move out the way.
But and it's like,
you get the fun at the night.
It's,
they're Lulu lemon pants.
It's not like they're not...
You should have just searched up his name on Google and shut them.
It's not like they're sweatpants.
No,
they were nice pants.
They were just,
they weren't just jeans or something.
You should just,
I'm telling you, dude.
Was a security guard that didn't let you?
Yeah, he would be in a dick.
Should just pulled up, like,
Oh, you just pulled up Google, scump.
I'm telling you.
But those people,
those people, they have to feel authority.
it weird though like how he was doing it he wasn't letting hell of people in because like
you know father you know father yeah they're and they're like yeah he's turned down so many
people yeah but yeah but i'm like Seth is also too humble like set didn't pull out the
umscott when they hear Seth chalk that and Seth was like I'm out no it was in-s-sich up no
it was in-sac job said they didn't even say word I think he just walked away
I don't think I don't think that guy would have that guy would have been like okay I don't
like that guy was being a douche bag I'm telling you that guy was on a weird power trip he would have because
he got like
I don't know, he tried to make a whole scene out of it.
It was, like, way too weird.
I'm like,
yeah.
Those people just always try to feel like, fucking, like, authority, dude.
Because they have no dope all that.
I kind of celebrate a championship,
and this guy's like, you guys can't come.
Like, too, come on, man.
The one I am, all the gamers are inside.
Miserable life, dude.
But now, we had, we had fun, though.
I can understand, like, basketball sorts of things.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's something way more like.
Like J-CAP shit?
Yeah, he was in the J-CAP starter pack?
You know what's so funny?
No way.
Wait.
The bouncer said, he's like, no way, you're not letting me in.
No way.
No way.
Oh, my gosh.
No way.
He's like, no, he gets to turn down, no way.
That's not funny.
That you said funny that you say that.
Every time I score a goal in him and Finkham, we've been playing, he goes, no way.
No way that just happened.
No way that just worked.
You're not as good.
Cap is comedy.
That was like actually a legend.
When do you guys start practicing again Tuesday?
Yeah.
And then you guys play Sarah.
Saturday Sunday, right next week?
Yeah, I can't wait for the qualifies, play for 10 points.
It's going to be great, dude.
How many weeks of qualifiers is it now?
Because it's more matches again.
It's like 3-4-3, 3-4-4.
Do we have five weeks?
No, I think it's less than five weeks now.
Oh my God, four weeks?
Right?
It should be, I think it's four or three weeks.
Yeah, I'm not exactly.
What?
But there's more matches now.
There's a couple days there like we're playing.
There's more matches.
Like, so like, like, you know.
They all cramped up.
Like, there's a lot of 630 matches.
There's four matches in a day now.
Yeah, before it was like 2-3-3, and now it's back to like 3-44-3.
Oh, thank God.
So it's finally like a lot more fun to watch.
Like, dude, two match days are awful.
Bro, just think about screaming all day and then having one match on a Sunday.
Do you know how fucking miserable that is?
Oh my God, we're best Miami.
I'm fucking.
You do you do the three.
We can't let it never, we can't.
See what I wanted to do this to Ernie when I, but I didn't do it.
The 4-0?
You did it.
You did it.
No, no, I didn't do it whilst Ernie was out.
No, 4-0 is crazy.
That's, that's.
That's insane.
Cover your whole face.

With like the Lou of a time
That's the best one
That's the one that Faker cried
Broh the look at all these fans
Faker in here
This is like a Real Madrid.
No, that is insane.
It's a no class.
How many fans are actually have in the stadium?
What character even is that?
It's not a character.
It's like a dragon in the game.
It's like a dragon in the game.
Like, what do you think the attendance numbers?
Bro, I'm telling you, when SSG, B, whatever, it was, T1 in this shit, bro.
Whenever they walked out, I never see a stadium that full of my life.
I was like, what's the attendance you think?
What about?
Like, how much you, how many, like, like 70K in that?
Yeah, yeah.
That's easily, I think like 80K?
It's probably, yeah.
Did you have to realize.
Imagine from.
That's like the ruler guy.
I was saying that has the best name.
I think he has the best tag, but there's ruler and then there's faker.
Did they have like a fucking pregame performance?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Because they made their own song and this is their song like performing their song.
So they get like artists.
Is that fucking fake?
Wait, it actually is the trophy but...
No, you know, that's the one they're gonna pick up.
You're 20-20.
No shit.
I think it's 2020, 2019.
No, no, no, 2019.
We get a squirrel for not on a new one.
They get a squirrel for not on that.
They get a fucking...
We got a squirrel that's one.
That's right?
Did you guys think about like the cultural like...
No, they're Korean.
This is like New Year Z Festival, dude.
This one wasn't insane because they have a Louis Trophy, bro.
You gotta see the trophy.
You have a Louis Trophy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can skip it for it.
Our trophy couldn't be here today.

Our trophy take it through TSA.
You can keep going.
You can keep going.
Should we talk about the trophy break?
I feel like that's pretty...
It's a pretty important thing.
important thing to talk about.
You can keep going.
Yeah, we have no souvenir.
We have nothing to hold on to.
It's like right here.
Yeah, look at this.
That's, that case for this, Louis Vuitton.
And the trophy itself is Louvre.
Now, that is, that is insane.
Bro, look at it.
It's like charge.
Imagine you winning and like that's your prize.
Watch when it, oh, it's, right?
This was the best world.
Oh.
Wait, this shit kind of cold.
This is like some Star Wars shit.
portion. And it's all dark.
They have some insane
fucking production.
Holy shit.
It's actually nuts because like
this is like the first like
that uh...
Yeah, Rigobust.
Co. Prater.
Wait.
Hey dude, this is the first time
that Europe got to Grand Finals.
Wait,
that's always,
who's always Korea and shit?
Japan?
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah.
So G2 gets to Grand Final.
They were god like.
And like they get to grand finals.
And this team that's in the other team
and this is like
they were called FPX.
Like Funplugs Phoenix.
Yeah.
And like this year,
League made a song just for the yeah it made a song called like Phoenix for Phoenix
yeah and like it was just like the script was wrote in because like because like
this team FPX was like in the play ends they were like they were not supposed to be
no no one yeah like made a crazy one they like slam G2 he slamed G2 he's slain and G2
that's the first time of European people ever been on the final what the fuck well they
made it to back to back finals is you too yeah but they got slam both times they got slammed
yeah some ultra shit damn some ultra shit so a team that came in from playing
one yes bro nobody thought
they're playing to win a tournament like this
would be that's like that's like the piston
but it's like their their name
their team name was a funplex Phoenix and the song
name is Phoenix yeah that actually
that's like scripted almost
everyone probably said G2 was gonna win right
look at that stadium because G2 be all the good
like most of the good team and they were like
they actually got like players and like at the time
FPX like they have good players granted but they were not good
this is not a good dude faker
imagine Codka do shit like this faker walking around
Korea would be like
Ronaldo walking around Portugal
Bro, you don't see
the video of him
landing in China
the airport looked insane
I'm not even trying to
I don't know why
Is for faker?
Yes, just for faker
I don't think he's fucking
The president
I mean that has
Really?
You know this?
Faker landing at the airport?
Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm really the president there
I'm not even looking at
No fucking losing
Can you fucking imagine
You guys landed in Dallas
There's hordes of people
Surrounding the airport
Is that him?
I'm just shocked off of the
I'm on a bender
from the last night.
You were seeing Faker
do it.
He did like a front flip on the stage.
Like a little roll.
Faker.
Yeah.
You like that?
No.
It was a trolley,
but it's like hard
because like in the game
they made like his...
He's got to look like
they better go to war.
I mean, this team right here,
I'm telling you,
they were not that good,
but like this tournament,
they were frying.
Look at this guy.
He's lost.
You know what I'm like...
He's probably playing his name.
He's on a solo lane for sure.
What is that called?
What is that called?
What is that called?
What is that?
What is that?
that call whenever like both the teams are playing at worlds but like they're both like it's
like their mini montage like you like the shit that like figure was like a teaser that was a teaser
like they did their teaser yeah sure was and then like last year like um he was playing like
ruler or something like that and then he was like all rows yeah that's what i'm telling you that
league is definitely a league is look at this way like imagine we like faker at the chinese airport
imagine like phaser Toronto and then before like all the people there are like teaser we talk and
then like if we all like meet in the middle we look at that would be cool that would be cool
Dude, before they, like, the final, that shit would be...
Dude, this is like Taylor Swift level shit.
Like, people like...
Look this shit.
If Taylor Swift's landing in an airport, people will come try to get a video over.
They can't even, bro.
I would be...
Look at it.
Look at the way he's walking.
What is going on?
I actually saw this, dude.
I remember watching this.
He's like, what?
Wasn't this for the Korean?
Wasn't this for the, like, the world?
This is like the most recent one.
The, or...
No, I think this was MSI.
I'm pretty sure.
Oh.
Like, so they, I think they had, yeah, they had a...
MSI and China.
Dude, he would be...
Jake Clark, he's on top of everything.
That's nuts, dude.
Is Codd big in China?
No.
Well, Cod Mobile is huge worldwide.
Oh, that's true.
That's true.
Cod Mobile is like, because Cod Mobile is essentially every good thing about Cod in one game.
Bigger than our scene.
I mean, that is.
Oh, no.
Bigger than R scene.
The game itself is probably the biggest call to do product because it is the best.
It has all the good guns, all the maps.
Guns, camels, maps, everything.
Yeah.
If there was like a platform version of that game, it'd be crazy.
Why don't they do that?
Maybe because they want to make it like diverse.
Well, our, our base is pretty much like North America for the most part and tiny bit like, you know, UK.
It's monthly active.
What's our?
What's actual quality duty?
50 to 60 million for Cold Duty mobile.
That's actually kind of insane.
What's our one?
Yeah, do fucking what?
MW3.
Like platform, don't do those numbers.
How would you even work that though?
Crossplay.
Crossplay.
My guess would be like, five, ten million?
You can play against mobile?
people on control W3 maybe 10 to 20
a whole different game I'm thinking way less
I don't know if there's a millie now but you're
you're underestimating to how many people play pubs and shit
no dude Tim had the dad as I come back from work have a fucking beer in their hand
you could actually see it on the game
that was the best yeah active players yeah but if there was less back then
think about the people that shift he plays in when he screams in pubs
Jesus we're fucked
they won't they don't have a monthly
honey but dude just like in in like Japan and Korea
they have like gaming
That's like a thing you do.
That's like, like you go to the cafe and you play legal edgents.
Yeah.
When I went to Japan or I went to this arcade place and it like it was the most like it was
like an eight floor arcade and it was like it was like Nintendo or something like that.
But like you go in there and there's like arcade games that like are online.
Like you can play with each other in the room like an online game.
And it's like a there was like a game that like had this big old like cardboard and like like a board
that you put cards on and like at the screen and like you were planning to get somebody else
across the room and you will put a card down and it like spawns in a monster for you to kill his
team and like you just putting cards down what bro i'm telling you i'm telling japanese i was like
i'm watching i don't even know what game this is but i'm live league is so crazy that like players in
like even i think the lcs in their off season they fly to korea and they play ranked over there
because it's better because the people there are so much better that they go there for better
practice so imagine imagine this they go play ranked in korea that's like you fly to yeah
Flying to
fucking Canada.
Yeah.
Well,
no,
imagine like all,
like Australians
coming to N.A.
to try to get
top two,
like number one
top 250.
Like that's crazy.
But,
yeah,
that's what they do,
but.
That's actually crazy.
So,
like,
they're fucking so competitive
over there.
Wow.
We kind of get a fucking
eights going.
It's just a
career that,
like,
yeah,
doesn't get eight
we can't even
get eight professional players
and spawn in
and fucking play
for an hour.
Well, that's actually
crazy because a lot
of these guys are
actual dog shit
and they're not going to
make champs
And they're not playing eight.
That's the worst part about it.
It's the people that want to play are actually more of the better players, which is fucking
embarrassing.
No, that makes no sense.
Because if I was LAG, I would be fucking waking up and trying to play eights before practice.
If I was fucking on Miami, if I was on any of those teams, I'd be playing eight every day.
Well, they should be trying to get better.
And also they should be like, it's actually true.
But when I joined the league, that's all I didn't want to play eights.
No, 100%.
I was going to get my name out there.
It's one thing.
But these guys don't get a fuck, it's embarrassing.
If you're a top team, it's like, if you're like you guys phase ultra, like your quality of practice
is so good that you guys have a little bit of a reason to not want to play it. It's like,
but like if you're like five through 12, you should be on every day. You should be trying
to get better, but also like your job's on a line if you don't make champ. So you should be like
streaming age trying to like show that you're good so people aren't like forgetting about you.
I actually don't understand. It actually fucking pisses me off, dude. It makes no sense.
I just don't get what they're doing. Like why wouldn't you want to grind the game to like be
good? I don't know. It's the same people that that get dropped down to challengers and they can't
make it back and they're like fuck. Now the cod is just very lazy people, bro. I saw.
Like, if you're telling me people from in league fly to a different country to play rank play for bank.
I don't know.
Okay, but to be fair, you gotta see it differently though because like getting number one or getting challenger, which is like top 250 and stuff like that in league is way harder.
Yeah.
Just because, I mean, league is league.
But it's also too like in league people, they actually look at the rank leaderboard to like pick up people for like challenger like teams and stuff like that.
Like they actually pay attention.
Like when you're number one, when you're number one in league, it's like you're in him for.
like that moment like you are actually
you're next up exactly so like
god you're a fucking hacker
for them exactly that's what I'm saying so like
I mean that does make sense but still like people
that dedicated though I mean yeah I mean all
like all league pros grind ranked
and then also too like nobody
in league takes NAA seriously
so like that's why we go to Korea to play
they don't take them serious at all
but I feel like that's like for CS2
until like recently I feel like CSS
no one took NA seriously
me yeah then C91
and then C9 yeah before that bird
no one
No one looked at N.A for CS.
But like N-A internationally, we just begin it, bro.
I mean, how much...
Think about Australia when I was over there.
You know what?
You know what? We turned out.
And it's actually funny because, like, C-9 is like the...
I'm pretty sure C-9 and Leak is also, like, the best N-A team
that, like, make it the farthest.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
They made it to, like, semies or something like that.
But they just can't even, like, remotely complete.
Like, bro, like, on the worldwide stage.
N-A is gassing them making out of pools.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
So, so that's, like, an accomplishment of itself?
Because no one expects them to even, like,
Wait, what's the price pool in winning?
We're going off topic, but what's the prize pool in League of Legends?
I don't know.
I asked like, so like there's the NA, like the N-A-Go, his name, double-liff, because he was on 100-T.
I asked him, like, the prize, he was like, it's not that crazy.
Like, yeah, because a lot of them get paid a, like, there are millions of dollars' contracts.
Like, Faker's a big-time contract is probably- Like five-mill.
Fakers on the, I think, the Steph Curry contract.
Wait, dude, what's the fucking Eastport that has an insist?
Dota.
Wait, doesn't he?
Dota has, like, a 50-mill of you win champs.
Yeah, Dota has 16-year-olds coming multi-millionaires.
Wait, if you win champs, you make like 50 mil.
Yeah.
There's like a 16-year-old who played the game for like four months, I'm pretty sure
and won like the biggest tournament in Dota.
Yeah.
No, do you know, I was watching Simple play it last night?
Yeah, it's a project.
Two-point-two-mill.
What?
Simple.
Oh, yeah, I clicked on the shit.
Could you imagine if we had that where like the fans can, like, just crowdfund?
Like, I don't understand the downside.
I probably do have that.
It was that next year.
No, we were supposed to be like last year.
Well, no, it was supposed to be like last year.
It was supposed to be crowd fund.
and then it fell through.
Really?
Yeah, no, it was.
I remember reading it.
It was supposed to be last year.
You're thinking about fucking the charm work,
like the camo shit for champs that's going to be towards like,
what is that going to be towards, you know?
I don't know.
It's supposed to be our prize pool.
No, bro, it's not supposed to be our prize pool.
You know what I'm saying that'd be?
I think, bro, I think the one thing that if anybody's are still from league
or ride games that, like, when people win worlds,
they get their own skin in the game.
Nah, see, I want that, dude.
It's exactly their skin.
They get the, and then like, when you recall in the game,
You mean operator or gun?
Gun, gun, skin.
No, it's like the whole thing.
Like, imagine the whole thing.
Operated gun skin.
Yeah, whatever the character does, it's like, like,
there's a character in the game called Rise and Faker Won on him,
and he does the front flip that Faker does.
Oh, that's what he does.
And he has a trophy on his back that, like, has, like, Eskin, bro.
It's like, like.
But I'm also pretty sure they get paid a percentage of, like, the sales.
We can't even get rid of hackers.
We can't even, I can't even get on the fucking game for rank.
You know, we're going to have.
We play three games and I'm getting shot through the wall.
And the guys like, ha ha, I'm not hacking, man.
Bro, 40.
Oh, man, we, we may get shit.
Wait, wait, wait, hold, all right.
Oh, no, much.
Dude, I live.
So the base prize pool with 1.6 and then all the crowdfunding was 38 mil.
No.
No.
Wait, the, wait.
Stratz do to one tournament?
That is in one tournament.
The most recent or the 20-21 world was a $40 million prize pool.
No, but, but, but, but, bough, but they have salaries are not, like, nowhere near as a year.
Okay, to be fair, Dota is, like, league the same game, basically, but it's insanely more hard.
It's harder than league?
Yeah, way harder.
Like, there's salaries.
It's because like, like, Sega paid like,
now it's sound too nerdy about league,
but like league has like the little minions
and like you can't kill your own millions in the game.
Yeah.
To like manipulate the game.
But like in Dota, you can.
And it's like, it's a whole, like a whole different game.
Like league.
Wow.
I wish I was hard.
I wish it was another life why I just fucking grind Dota, dude.
League.
Get a, get a newborn and just fucking have them growing.
I wish I, I don't know.
I have newborn to be a tennis player.
I think CS would be such a,
fucking like game the grind, dude. If you, like, had a choice.
If I could be final at any game.
I would pick C.S. Yes, it would be unreal, dude.
Not what league. Imagine getting a sick.
I'm telling Lee.
What did you just see what they walked out to?
Yeah, but I would have more fun.
How did you fucking? Okay, but you got
well, I just walked out to a fucking marching band.
I think Rocket Lee's up there too, though.
You know, they said like, their tournament
their tournament is like insane.
It depends. It depends if you're talking like pure like
passion or money because it, I mean, I'm not,
I'm just talking about experience. Like, bro, imagine
watching out to that League of Legends.
That's true.
CS majors are there's so I lived in the CLG house for the more week
but not like CLG during the prime like doing the prime CLG
I feel like there's no level of dope than that
well also like playing the game I'm not really gonna get dope like probably double
but you don't know that what if you're called like a league and you should hold your own lane
like you don't know that because you never play the game but imagine you'll go like a league and you're faker oh no it'd be godlike but I'm just more of like
being fake or I was like imagine simple simple's fucking wait okay but too be fair being faker would be insane but imagine this the last like in their playoffs like their local playoffs they um they um they were
booting them off.
So like, so like, imagine it, imagine if we need to play our match.
Yeah, imagine we need to play our match next week and we're getting booted off and we can't
even scrim.
That happened to T1 and T1 got slammed.
They got hit off for a week?
Yeah, they got hit off for weeks.
They could, like, you think that those people have like V-Pas.
They're like forfeit their matches and everything.
They didn't go somewhere else.
They couldn't like, surely that team.
Because it's like some of they had like their IP to their accounts.
Lizard blizzard, whatever.
And like they could like, so anytime they would even get on the game like on the, like on the, not even play.
They didn't get a chance.
Wait.
So they had the individual.
player IP, so you couldn't even go to a different location and play.
And then they were also finding all their old accounts.
And like, oh my God.
Like, even then when they play on old accounts, they're like lower ranks.
So they're just running and like they just can't scrim.
They were getting spawn drafts.
They didn't scrim for like the longest time they got smoked.
They got spawn trapped.
What I was trying to say.
So like you talked about like some like players who don't even play eights and shit.
I lived in the CLG house for like a week.
What's that?
So CLG, countenologic gaming was like a big league team.
I'm not sure there's still league and like call duty.
So I was in the cold.
So CLG came in during Black Ops 3 for like a year or two.
And so I lived in the house for like a week.
That was when like Double If was there.
I figured all the names.
But like their entire lives were based around League of Legends.
Yeah.
Like it was like there was not, oh, I'm not going to play it tonight.
It was like they were playing league pretty much every hour of the day.
They would eat, go play league.
They would just grind.
They would maybe work out for like 30 minutes an hour, then go play league.
Like everything they did revolved around League of Legends.
There was nothing else.
That's crazy.
What I will compare and like say is like the same is like they just made.
a thing called Champions League for them
and it's basically like the BPO thing that they had
where you told me this. Yeah they made it
to where like there was a rank
server for all of the top two 50 in like the pros
and like you only play with those people and you can
pick your pick like you get teams and whatever
and there was like a prize pool I think there was like
50K for whoever got was first like number one ranked in it
but then I think all the pros stopped playing it
why they probably just hated it
they probably just don't think it's like I don't know
productive right yeah they just stopped a lot of the pros
stop playing that shit too but I think they stopped it completely
completely now because all the players stop playing
but
I just like that was a comparison
like ranked like they we do
have like similarities like
people not playing the game but they
they love rank because ranked is just like
God like they still wait
yeah it's the way
what is the hall of legend entail
like is it like a
just like a whole fame
they did a whole up apparently my
my homie literally just text me which is insane
he said bro he said bro this event for faker
is nuts I think they're doing a whole event
so it's like a whole hall of fame
inductee that's that's dope
Jesus that guy's
fucking messy, dude.
That's dope.
He is super him.
Who will be the call of duty inductees?
Obviously, Seth.
Crim.
Crim.
Crim.
Damien.
Daman.
Naid.
Formal.
He's actually a decent amount of
that would get.
No, I said that.
Okay, but who's the first?
Crim.
100%.
Scamp.
First is hard.
Because, like, I don't know how many of these they are doing.
And he's the first one.
You got to have Seth first.
I think it would be Seth.
Yeah.
Scampo.
Cumpo.
Cumpo.
Did he?
And I would be Seth.
Seth also has like a war zone chip.
Is Faker considered the best of all time, Ken?
Hell yeah.
He's considered the best of all time.
Hell yeah.
Like actual like not even just like following, just actual best of all time.
So like accolades and like skill, he was the best of all time for like the longest time.
And like the thing about fakers that the skill gap between players is that like you can play like your champion pools.
So how many champions can you play like consistently at a top level?
But recently that got exposed and that's why I said he got shit on because like at the last event they just played.
They basically, imagine the whole team pulls up and bans only your champions.
Yeah.
All five.
You get five bans and we only banned against you.
So it's like banning and protecting and banning like.
Yeah, that's fucking, like, like, everything.
Yeah, it's like banning the MCW and, uh.
Every AR, you can't even use the gun.
You got to use any of the gun.
Wow.
But that just shows how Dominion is.
Exactly.
They're banning all five.
Old faker probably be able to pull it off and like, but like, I think he's having, like, risk problems as well.
But like, I mean, they just won World's Lash and they dominated.
So like, and to be fair.
before this tournament faker was like top two
top three mid-laner he's just always
been consistently top player
his ceiling is probably like number one
and people imagine this though
imagine this though like you play against a team
and they're fanboy and killing you like oh my god
I kill bread that's what people
like you feel like the fucking man dude yeah
like the G2 team I showed you like the European team like
they're like we just kill faker
what the fuck way how many times he died
like twice a game what's on shit? He dies a lot but it's just
like the fact that like they're just like oh my god
we kill faker that's actually so sick
I know nothing about league but I will always
tune into worlds and like I don't know what's going on at all but I'll just be like
the atmosphere just like the commentate like the commentating and like the the super
I don't know like when there's like a team fight it dude that that game's a fun watch
not it is yeah like the worlds we watch with the dragon like the guy his name's ruler he's
probably like the best he's probably I would say he the best 80 carry of all time but
when he won they call him like the prince because he like took down the king
and they're both playing that's got a lot that's a good story right it was insane right it's
say, I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, honestly, yeah.
Now, Seth, if we had wanted, Seth would be in first,
and I think Krem would be in next.
I agree.
I think that's what it would be, too.
Yeah, Seth and then Krenner.
See, that's like Faker and Ruler.
Like, Ruler is like him.
Seth is like...
But Ruler went to China recently.
He's Korean, but he went to a China team.
He started running a world over there, too.
I'm like, this guy has got like, bro.
I just don't know what the fuck's going on in league.
Like, I've watched it for two minutes and I just see, like...
I've watched at least 10 hours and I still don't understand.
No, I tried.
My friend was trying to teach me to like to like learn.
I was struggling.
That's the one was the goal, right?
Yeah.
So gold tells you the whole game.
Gold, whichever team has more gold is strong.
I see that.
They're hitting the gold and they're getting points and shit.
Yeah.
So like killing champions and so like killing other people is like gold.
But like gold is like what makes your champion stronger.
And the stronger your champion is the.
The harder to win.
Yeah.
But like a lot of teams like Fitt one.
So Faker's team, bro, they are so got like because like even when they're behind in gold,
it don't matter how much they can win.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's never.
It's never G.
Yeah.
is never, they did, they pull off some insane stuff.
Like, the other team might have insane goal.
Like, that's like the biggest way to, like, easiest way to look at is like,
most of the time the team with the most kills and most goal will win unless like.
Is there other gamers or just that one?
Wait a man.
Like is it like, is it like other gamers or just a goal?
No, no, no, no.
Other games was in league, but they're in a lot ranked like.
They just like when they play worlds, they just play that goal like they go.
Yeah.
Is there different maps?
No.
So like the, the difference like how to, like there's like Vito, like like they're, like, not
vetoes, but like there you pick and bang your champions, but then you're going
also pick blue side or red side and the difference is like I think one side picks their champions
okay so like maps are the same the game is the same the only thing different is the champions okay
which is a big one night yeah really yeah there's only one map but think about how good the game
has to be but there's only one map they play in professional like their matches bro their best of five
six like five to six hours a house hey oh like the same map that's one match so it's like i was playing
high rise over there yeah that's like us playing high arizona but we're switch the sides
Which and sides and different champions.
Holy fuck.
They know they've experienced everything.
That map might be like they could sleep and fucking.
Yeah.
They could draw that map.
Are there teams that like don't hit the hell?
Think about how good their game has to be there.
They'd only go for gold.
They don't ever fucking go for the like the actual like.
Wait,
are the teams that don't hit the hell in league?
Like they only go for small kills.
Yeah.
So like there's sometimes teams where like they'll build a champion like a comp like that
doesn't fight drag like fight for like dragon or objectives.
They just fight to like play team fights.
So like we'll give you that we'll give you the objective for a minute.
We're going to fight you after you cap the hill.
So they play for checkouts?
Basically.
World Series of Warzone.
What the fuck?
World Series of Warzone officially returns to the $1 million prize pool.
Wait, so like, I'm confused.
Because I swear like the Warzone was complaining recently about like them like only doing.
Yeah, big map being useless, right?
So right now it's resurgence ranked.
And that's like the only thing people are playing because people aren't playing big map.
So I don't know exactly.
I'm assuming it's kind of like what it always is.
You have the solo solo solo solos and you have.
Oh, this is the World Series of World Series.
This is what's Seth one, right?
Yeah, yeah, the solo.
I'm playing it in the shit.
I wonder.
Wait, I want Jaylen Sogs to play in this shit.
How do you get inducted into this shit?
Wait, into the Wall Street of Warzone?
Well, I think there's like qualifiers, right?
I think you can get in if you want it to.
You're a champ, you'll get in there.
Well, they have, I mean, I don't know.
They also have invites.
So like there's, you mean you should just double-Ritude?
I'm pretty sure there's people like, invited, then you have the open qualifiers.
If it's only, if you're a biffle, hit me up.
You know, say shit.
No, biffle, biffle, come up, bro.
He's like, you know, you know the kid.
The only thing that I would like actually play in is the solos.
Bro, in a solo war zone, you never know.
That's true.
You can get the perfect circle.
You can get like the perfect camp in spot.
If you win, you just win.
Solo winner.
That's all the prize.
I'm dirty camping.
Or I'm dirty running it down.
Lamar came 14th.
I'll never forget that watching that.
Like when Seth won him, Lamar was 14th and he was fucking.
Wait, what does that say that?
Yeah.
Lamar died to the guy.
Lamar dad to Aiden.
50,000 of solo.
No way.
Going down?
The guy, someone killed the mob from the storm.
What's set to 100K?
100K.
So they, damn, that's half the prize.
They call them bullshit.
They cut the prize?
It's 50K if you and this all right now.
Everybody cut the odds, room.
We'd be cutting.
Damn, we'd be super cutting.
Listen, bro, everybody going to bro, just say that, bro.
I might have that boy that, uh...
Yeah, I'm on fucking...
If the bag, if the bag is right.
The bag is right.
The bag is right.
Yeah, I might have to have a shifty.
The bag is right.
The bag is getting small, that's for sure.
The bag ain't right over.
there either. Did they announce where it's going to be met?
They're cutting the bag.
The bag is getting cut. Where is it going to be actually?
It's in London, I think it was in London before. I don't know if they're going to do London again.
Yeah.
Yeah, they do a land for the...
Yeah, they're not in a cognitive plane this shit.
Wait, when Seth won it was online, though.
Yeah, I don't think they announced the location yet.
Yeah, Seth was sounding, dude.
I said one was crazy.
I can't believe Seth wanted that. She's like, I'm so happy because there's so much
war zone, like CDO beef and then the king of the king...
And then we're like, bro.
Ever since
Ever since you?
We all were shit.
No one we're shit.
No one can say shit about CIO
Because no one will
There will never be a war zone.
That was like
Outside of like CDL and just run through it
Outside of like CDO
like competing that was probably the greatest moment
I'm gonna have been drawn.
Nah it's just crazy because like the war zone kids
know like exactly every little detail
And he won't be 18 for the win
Which is making up
I don't know what I'm just gonna run at you guys
He hasn't played woolen in like three months
And he's like he was dirty with stung grenades
He was just fucking
I'm pretty sure he had the most
Stubbed of shit people
I was watching his pop
He was swearing
He clashed up but he was
Who was squaring, bro?
He stunted this right-should guy.
I'm pretty sure he should have died at one moment and he fell off for that.
I don't know how the fuck he got.
Could you imagine like?
He stuck the right-should guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's when he should have died.
His pop looked like a movie.
I'm not going to lie.
Oh, dude.
And the gas?
Yeah, dude, it was crazy.
He should have died when he stuck, he stuck a right-should guy in the storm.
He was one HP, bro.
Dude, no, what's crazy about this?
He has eight kills.
Like, he's not like, he's not like, he's not.
Lamar probably had no kills.
No, no, no.
I was...
But no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The way Lamar was playing, he had no kills.
Look, he shits on this guy.
Who is that?
That's a difference.
But this is the Goat War Zone, man.
Look at Seth.
He's so locked in.
Look at him.
He's so locked in.
Wait, right here, he should have died.
Right here.
Oh, yeah, this is when he's...
Look at him.
Oh, he's won HV.
And he's actually won.
And he's in the storm.
Like, if he didn't have a gold gas mask, he's...
Running out of plates.
Look at it.
This is the right shoe, guys.
That's the right here.
This is it.
is it? He should be dead right here.
He should be dead. Yeah, I can't believe he survived.
Who's that? Who's playing for...
He's Huskers? That's Huskers, I think.
Is he ever gun on? Fuck me.
That would have been me and Bruce if we played right there.
You spoke for checkout?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Dude, he's so locked, dude. It's so funny.
Watching his face.
How much? It's a 1-B-1.
Bro, this is starting, dude. This son saved him. Oh, shit.
How many tax did he?
I swear, dude. Just threw four of them. Oh, my God.
Holy fuck.
Dude, you have to think about, like,
the lead up to that.
Like, he was in the shower that morning.
He did not think he was winning a fucking 1-B-1 war zone event.
He was playing streams all day.
The king is, look, that is insane dope.
He was so dope, though.
That is so late, dude.
So he had, like, didn't he be stream crash?
He had, like, 100 plus K viewers or some shit.
Yeah, it was crazy.
I mean, think about it.
Because if you win like a war zone tournament,
everybody from like everyone else's stream floods to your stream
and they say W, congrats, blah, blah.
So he had a fuck ton of people to do it.
I would have been running ass.
I just thought of something.
Like, dude, because I remember the following year
they had like the same shit.
And Raseem was, dude, Raseem should have won it.
Dude, he was.
He was also a montage of it.
And I remember I was like, I think it was Inder.
I was not called it, and we were like, no,
recine doesn't win the shit.
Because Inder and Resee was.
When did Resee win it?
Yeah, third.
Oh, he got third.
Who won lost?
you.
It's so funny.
He went some guy that always win.
He went back to back.
He went back to back to.
Is it Hesoka?
No, bread man.
No, no, no.
Breadman?
Oh, it's FIFA kill.
No, Bradman.
It's just made that show.
He's called anybody.
It's, uh, it's breadman, I think.
He, like, runs 1 v. once.
I swear, Hesoka, I swear, I see Hizzo went all the teams.
Him and whoever fucking coffee on that.
Yeah, no, he's good.
I bet.
Yeah, no, but Hesoka needs to stick to the wars.
Because he was chowling me earlier this year.
He couldn't do it?
In the child, you need to stick to the art of worship or whatever the fuck they do.
Yeah.
They love them plates.
Yeah, stick to that shit.
All right, boys.
I think that's going to do it.
The champions, congratulations again.
It was a fucking awesome time in Toronto.
It was a big celebration, both online and person.
It was a lot of fun.
So congrats, boys, and we will catch you guys the next episode.
Thank you for watching.
Yeah, a lot of peace.
