Yeah, there's so many, dude, we've been telling untold stories for 20 years.
Yeah.
There's still more.
Is there any? Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I know there's one.
All the, all the, all the best ones.
There's one, but you can't like legally say.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, what's the fuck?
There's probably a couple of non-mental ones.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I could tell you when we could cut it.
Nope.
Nah.
I don't actually.
It's not going to be like.
I don't even think I want to know.
It could.
Okay, who would get canceled?
I don't know if anyone would get canceled.
But like, a murder might get solved.
What?
Oh, what the fuck?
All right.
What's in store for the next 20 years of Optic?
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you to Optic Podcast, episode 289.
Damn.
We're almost 11 away from the big 300.
It's crazy.
This pot ain't even far from the fly.
What's that mean?
Well, first of all, we're not a lot.
including all the original podcasts.
We're going to catch up.
We are going to pass you guys.
How?
We're going to start doing two a week.
We'll knock out two weeks.
That is the only way.
And that means that both of you have to work two times a week and that ain't happening.
Oh,
never mind.
So,
this process is bought to you by Factor Rocket Money and IKEA.
More about them later on in the podcast.
Also make sure to check out the Optic Forever merch drop live now at shop.
Dotophtagaming.com.
You heard it right.
I said IKEA.
20 years of Optic.
Does that hit you?
Yeah.
It does?
It does.
No, come on.
For what?
How many times says have you cried?
But you just won't have it?
Every single time my dogs pass.
Besides dogs.
That's guaranteed.
What was the last time you cried?
Have you ever?
Just a date?
Not why.
Just a date.
Just a day.
A day?
Like, okay, when you say cry, like what do you?
Like a month ago.
I don't even think that I said.
You're scrolling TikTok.
Yeah, of course.
Like I'll get choked up over some of that.
I'm a dog.
TikTok.
Not whoa.
Pussy lanimous, of course.
Sorry.
Nah, I mean, yeah, dude, I have feelings.
I just said I didn't have hater energy.
So you have cried from a TikTok.
No, I haven't cried from a TikTok.
My TikTok is crazy.
Oh.
Wait, what's that?
LeBron James won his last NBA championship on October 11th.
Wait, what?
Why would I have cried?
Why would I have cried?
Because you have hate her energy.
I don't hate LeBron.
I don't hate LeBron.
I saw someone in chat, San Hanks had Hater energy.
on the desk yesterday.
You were saying that yesterday.
Listen, first of all, yes.
You were hating yesterday.
You were hating that I use a pistol, like, sorry.
When you sniping?
Yeah, he was.
I watched that active vod just the whole time.
That's warranted, though.
Don't grab the sniper rifle if you were not going to use it.
How about that?
I agree with them.
How about that?
How about that?
I'm a grown-in-old man.
I want to pull out the piss.
I want to pull out the pistol.
Don't call yourself a sniper, though.
Call yourself a pistol here.
You can be a grown-eyed man.
You can use the pistol, but don't call yourself a sniper.
A grown-in'am-a man
What happened with Pam yesterday?
Actually, I probably shouldn't talk shit.
No, that's not talk shit about Pam.
If I'm playing today.
He was playing against fucking three world champs.
No, I'm not saying he did bad.
It was just that one time where his entire teammate was, his entire team was telling him not to peek.
Sorry, introductions.
Of course, we have a man, swoo-y right now.
We have Hitch, we have maniac.
We have me, big optic hacks here.
We're waiting for scumper jumper to get here.
We had a couple of, it's not his fault this time around.
But do you have any day two predictions?
Obviously, team formal was day one.
Champions.
So we got,
who we got today?
We got Seth,
Zinn, myself,
Krim.
Hitch is playing.
Yeah.
So Hitch is the new PAM.
Well,
they were saying,
actually,
he asked who's gonna be that LVP.
He plays N-A-3.
There is pressure on Hitch today.
No, there's no problem.
Wait, why?
What do you mean?
There's pressure on me?
It's fucking.
How's our pressure?
Skump, Zini,
Krim, bows.
Can he attach formal?
That's the biggest bailout.
And then there's Hitch.
There should be pressure on everyone else.
Yeah,
Not him.
Was that the same
shit for Pommage yesterday?
Of course.
Was that the same attitude?
I don't think anyone
blames Pommage for yesterday.
You think there was pressure on anyone
about Pommage?
I'll tell you what.
The only person that left here
devastated yesterday was Pommage.
You saw his tweets later?
But he does.
Yeah.
Wait, was he going through it?
Pull up his tweets later, man.
Like he went home and it was still bugging him.
Yeah.
He said,
I'm getting my fucking get back there.
He doesn't know he's not playing.
He doesn't even know he's not playing it.
It's still on his seat.
mine. Wait, go down, go down, go down. He's going to be like, no, you gotta let me get
like, wait, I don't got to play. I'm so down, laughing my ass off. No, he's hurt. He's hurt that he's
playing it. I'm kind of mad on. Go down, go down, go down, go down, go down, go down, go down. Why don't you play
tomorrow? I'm busy. Something very cool about. Okay, yeah, shout out Pam, man. Oh yeah,
that's before he left to. That was the first time Pam joined Optic 15 years ago,
and he's joined three times since then. Yeah. And we love him for.
We would love him for it.
My mental is destroyed.
My mental is destroyed, he says.
Oh, no, man.
Head up.
You went home with a trophy today.
I left that shit.
Both said relax.
XP doesn't come from winter.
It comes for surviving.
No, I mean, Pam shouldn't feel any.
No, I said, you're going against, what was it, formal.
And it's not even Pam's game.
Formal attach.
Kenny and Sue.
Kenny and Swoot.
Like.
And he was using a pistol.
Swoot was grinding.
And all you've ever done is sniping for it for.
I saw.
like we know you're not on that.
I'm glad he feels bad about it.
Damn.
No, okay.
Just on some hating sniper.
I will say.
That's a hating sniper.
What do you call me?
His nemesis?
Yeah,
just wants some rival shit.
My number one rival.
Relax.
They did throw him into Black Ops four though.
I'll tell you what.
I wouldn't even have played.
Not me either.
I wouldn't even have to play.
I mean, if you're on the spinning wheel.
But same thing would have happened to me if I was out there.
Now, if it was Blackop's seven,
something that I've been putting hours into.
Oh, here we go
Mm-hmm
What happened?
No, no, that I've been good
I haven't seen a single one of your highlight reels
Damn
Where they at?
No, I was on your side
I was saying like
No, like, where they're at?
What is that?
Some Drake shit
Some grown ass shit
Some grown-at madness
Oh, Pam does peel
Oh, that right there
But this is the same round
He blacked out
It's the same exact round
This was also the one
Don't check it, don't check it, don't check it
That was his one snipe.
And it got clip?
28 seconds later, let me see.
No, let me see the 28 seconds later.
Oh, wait, wait.
28 seconds of,
Swoty, good job.
Are you going to get out of fun?
Yeah, what's got money?
You don't die.
What are cats in the vent, man?
This ain't it, isn't it?
This ain't it.
You're playing like that.
You'll be in challengers forever.
Oh.
Hey, don't listen to him.
But also, he is the go, so.
Yeah, no, it was good.
He might know some.
He might know some.
He don't listen to me in four.
Almost Q and A.
You don't think
you don't think he ends the goat.
But you also are a
Ogre 2 hater.
Someone above right.
No.
I'm a,
I'm a winner
hater.
Because it's like,
right,
here's the,
but imagine
if you got a collat right there.
Oh my God,
I realized a problem
in fucking respawn.
Where do you think Pam's
stomach is at right now?
Oh, in his feet.
In his,
because it's not even like a,
ah.
Because it's not even like
a, ah, he shot you in the back, or, oh, you lost the gunfight.
No, no, no, wait, what?
It was little Bose, Krem and Zen yelling, don't peek, don't peek.
Dude, that is the worst type of.
Again, he, like, he shouldn't feel bad, but because he feels bad, good, man, feel bad.
Because you shouldn't feel bad.
But if you feel bad, feel bad, man.
If you're going to feel bad, feel bad, man.
It's like you, like, no one has a reason to be depressed.
Yeah.
Or have anxiety.
Yeah.
But if you're depressed or have anxiety, you fuck it.
Fuck it.
Double it up.
Look, it's like when your mom told you.
It's like when you were crying that your mom told you,
it's like, I'm going to give you something to cry about.
And you're like, no, no, you won't.
And then boom, you get ahead and you're like, oh, shit, she did.
Ooh.
You know what I'm taking notes.
Period.
I'm taking notes.
I could learn a thing or two from you.
That's right.
This one is crazy.
Yeah, that one's crazy.
He just ran past.
No, I'm telling you, I'm telling you he just blacked out.
Like, this is 2020 knee hair.
Okay, I'm going to tell you what happened.
Look at, look at it again.
And look how the character hides behind the guys.
a gun.
Like, he's hitting
behind the...
I mean, it was like...
And if he was looking
at the minimap right here,
like to see where they're at,
which is...
I mean, it is...
Yeah, it could be.
Maybe.
I mean, it wouldn't have happened to me, though.
Wait, on his screen...
But it happened to Real on tournament play.
On his screen,
is the, his attach OG with the health bar there?
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
No, he's right here to his right.
He's like...
No, I know, but it's like...
I think you have to shoot him first, though,
if I remember.
Like, it's...
It's obviously an enemy when you can see attach O.
there was a gun
but on Pan's actual
POV
it might be
yeah it might have been
harder to
yeah
not only see behind
but on broadcast
Hitch was hating
yeah
I wasn't
rewind that
dude he did say that
I need that
for later tonight
yeah
oh dude
he did say that
yeah
I did say that
yeah I did
that's my
well okay
and all Pam's
ever done
is call you
the middle
of night
to show support
no
the reason
I said that
is because
Pam
that's
during the race
gifted me
of painting
of him
triple collatting
me and I have it hung up
on my wall.
So that's why I said that.
So I can have something else.
Yeah, yeah.
That's that's,
wait, so you're his rival.
Me and Pam?
Yeah, me and Pam used to go at it.
Nemesis.
When he joined Faze,
when he rejoined Faze,
like we,
do you remember our little like Twitter beefs?
Yeah, we used to get into it.
Yeah, we used to get into it.
Yeah.
We used to really get into it.
The thing is, I feel like when Pam,
the people Pam goes at it with is like,
actually his closest people.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Like, people always see, like, I'll see comments sometimes about, like, maybe if Pam's my
vlog and I'm, like, giving him shit or we're talking shit to each other.
But it's actually, like, I've probably hung out with Pam.
Even though a lot of us don't hang out outside of this, as far as, like, going out or something
like that, I might do a dinner.
Yeah, why don't we do a dinner?
We could.
I don't understand.
But, like, I probably hang out with Pam the most out of anyone.
It's cool to the Mexico.
And we're like, I don't know, we're close.
There's a new restaurant.
A little restaurant called Oloyo, as soon as the, as soon as Legacy Weeks son,
me and the Pine Park boys are going, no, I heard you, man.
You finished.
We're just moving on.
So what he said?
I noticed they don't know.
I said that's about food, so I wanted to give you their validation.
And my birthday's this weekend.
Happy birthday, man.
And my dad.
And my dad.
Not to make another pot about me.
Wait, so is Zini, you?
Me?
My dad.
Oh.
Wait, sweet?
Me?
No, Zini, you, my dad, August 15th.
Oh.
Who else?
There's someone else, right?

Is it Holly or is it Bella?
I don't know.
What do you else?
Oh, oh.
Birthdays.
Birthdays.
I thought y'all were planning a dinner and I'm like, this is the most random dinner.
It's a squad.
Oh yeah, this is the official.
I'm 33.
Official best call out of duty players and out there.
What do you think about this?
Okay, this is fucking dumb.
I don't understand why you're at 17.
When was this made?
This was made like last year.
So B-O-6?
Yeah, because the Oak Boys on there.
Oh, yeah.
This is when we had a war zone team.
for a little bit.
My brother at 38?
Honestly, the worst take here might be APG at 27 and not 40.
Like,
APG versus Page might be a good, like, one before.
Wait, you think so?
You don't think that fucking...
He's calling duty.
I've seen APG play, like, it's bad.
Yeah, it's like, it's like weirdly bad.
Yeah, it doesn't translate.
It would be like me playing Call Duty.
Basically, same kind of game.
Wait, no, Halo.
Damn it.
Basically.
Yeah, be like, yo, who's, who's, number 22?
Joe O Joe O.
That was when we had Joe O Zay and Oak Boy, we're, we're, we're at our own team.

Okay.
Formula and number eight.
Are you fucking insane?
Yeah, I don't know that.
Renegate at 10?
Renegate at 10.
Hey, he was nice.
He was the nicest, dude.
Actually, that might not be too far.
That's actually, but he's George.
Oh, it's Call of Duty players.

He's like, who's George?
Is he good?
George. They were TST. Oh, TST.

Okay, that makes sense.
You're only 18.
Yeah, in 2020.

There was probably a rumor that Simp was going to join optic and Hitch couldn't
help his hands.

Did you ever do women cross-lid?
Yeah, women-crescent.
I did that and TBHs.
Nick used to be-old.
What is TBH?
Sorry to you.
So you put TVH in a story and then somebody like a girl,

They slide up and then you tell them it's to be honest.
So you tell them how you feel about it.
No, I don't know what TBH is.

You put TBAH and then the girl slides up

You cute or whatever.
Oh my God.
That is like the most high school like my space.
Yeah.
My brain just like...
Don't hate on that.
A.
It bagged me a few.
They bag me a few.

When did you graduate?
When did you graduate?

So did you pass notes still in high school?
No.
Just pass your audio.

Like that's what I get.
Yeah, 20 years of optic.
Where'd the time go?
Favorite optic memories.
Where did the time go?
What's your earliest optic memory?
What's the first time you ever heard of optic?
V-O-3 when they lost to that blue cloud nine and then they were all like this.
And the stronghold S&D.
That was.
funny as hell. Lacefield, shout out you
Lacefield. What in the
fuck is wrong with you? What was the first time I saw
funny though. And what do you mean? Shout out
Lacefield. It was devastating. Well you
asked me the first time I ever saw
after you when I was this favorite moment.
No, no, he didn't say favorite.
Why are you giving Lacefield? Shout out Lacey
but why are you giving Lacefield shout out? Your favorite memory
of Opsin is that way. Your favorite
memory of Mapping is us fucking suffering?
You said my first moment, not favorite.
You said what was your first moment? You're
right. He's right. I got introduced to
Hey, hey, you're lucky.
MBO3.
What about you?
Suu's gonna follow five.
What's your favorite optic memory?
My favorite optic memory?
I mean, I don't know.
Probably cross those.
I hate that question.
Yeah.
Because I'd never.
Also, it's like, I don't remember much.
What?
Honestly, probably, I was filming the guys when they won IW champs.
Probably that.
I would say that.
Or, or honestly, when.
When I sat in that chair?
No.
My favorite.
I have an favorite optic memory.
What?
My favorite optic memory is when fucking D-Treece accidentally deleted D-Trix from his channel
and it had gone fucking hyperviral and we have 73,000 views in under 24 hours,
unheard of at the time.
And everyone's like, what the fuck?
And he just kept going in it to check that, you know, the most updated thing.
And then one of those things, he fucking, he deleted it.
What?
No.
Remember when Predator got hacked?
No.
I remember Predator got hacked at one point.
They just started uploading crazy shit on his channel and he barely.
got his channel back.
I don't remember that.
Pretty sure I was brother.
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
Dude times.
You?
Where are you?
Um, I don't know if there's like a specific moment, but I was the first
when I first joined Optic and I was like trying to do YouTube.
I'd get like 2000, 3,000, maybe 4,000 views.
Then I remember I did a birthday video where it was like it was, I don't remember the title,
but it was like it was my birthday.
And it was the first video of mine.
It just like, flip.
everything like 2000, 3,000 views, 4,000 views. Then I got one video that got like 40K views.
And then I went to like 60K or something like that. And then my videos after that, it was just like a
doped up feeling of being like, oh shit, wait. And then like I upload another video and it's like 20K.
I'll put another video like 23K, then like 30K, then 35K. There we go. So I mean,
that was definitely one of my favorite memories. Like seeing, literally going from none.
nothing on YouTube to be like, wait, is just that moment?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember your, I've been like birthday.
I remember your birthday stream.
Oh, God.
Yeah, that would be passed out.
Is that the same day?
Yeah, it was.
It was.
It was the same thing.
It didn't.
How old were you maniac during all this?
That was my first year, so it was probably like 20.
Who's that?
Two.
Oh, that's both.
22.
That's grim.
I was 11 during this.
so this is crazy
yeah I was just with Flame Sword this morning
you're with
what is he up to? Well at like 1 o'clock
what's he up to?
What's he up to? What does he do? Flames sword? He played Halo?
He played Halo. He carried a couple of events.
Really? He carried me hard carry, actually.
I would go super negative. And he would go super positive.
Put you on his back.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, W. Shout of Flamesor.
years in my life, but
any untold stories?
We're gonna skip that one.
Yeah, there's so many, dude,
we've been telling untold stories
for 20 years.
Yeah.
I mean, there's still more.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I know there's one, all the, all the,
best ones.
You can't, like, legally say.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, what's the fun?
There's probably a couple of non-mental ones.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I could tell you
and we could cut it.
Nope.
Nah, I don't actually,
you know what it's not going to be like,
I don't even think I want to know.
It could,
Okay, who would get canceled?
I don't know if anyone would get canceled.
But like, a murder might get solved.
What?
Oh, what the fuck?
All right.
What's in store for the next 20 years of Optic?
We've only had the internet, like the web two for like 10 years.
So like what's next for Optic?
Like, I don't know.
Who the, man?
More championships.
I like that question.
So we got two.
We got two nominations.
What is the next?
Like, what is something that you want to venture into, like, something that you haven't done before?
Or is it going to be just the same stuff for the next 20 years?
Hex or optic?
Hex.
Me?
Me personally?
Me personally?
That's a person?
No, well, you and then, like, it could involve optic, though.
That's what I'm saying.
Because obviously you're the CEO, you're the boss, so, like, something optic-related.
That you haven't done that.
And we're not talking about, like, expanding into, like, other things.
No, you have done that before.
I'm saying something.
Just a thought.
Is there anything?
think.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, there's a, there's a bunch, like actual, like, weekly shows,
24-hour live stream that shows.
Like, we need a video DJ, like they did back in MTV days where somebody sits and
just goes and just goes and say, all right, let's, swoot, you'd be perfect for this.
You're just sitting there 24 hours a day.
Okay.
Or maybe just eight hours a day and then we'll just redo the rerun afterwards.
Okay.
Right.
And essentially, you're just DJing.
You're going from one live stream to another, from one video to another funny moment here.
boom, boom, boom,
and you just news,
you deliver the news quickly,
and it just happens,
and then you go from nine to nine,
and then from nine to nine,
it's the repeat of those,
and then the next day it happens again.
It's like NFL Red Zone.
Like the Red Zone.
I was telling James,
this is my idea.
I'd said it briefly,
but you guys didn't hear it.
I think we should do an optic novella.
Tele novella.
Yeah, 10 minutes episodes.
It's going to be a series on YouTube,
and it's just like love, betrayal, passion,
you know, just.
It's all dudes here.
The fuck you're talking about?
Are you talking about like an actual like acting, like acting novella show?
I'm down to act and do something cool.
Is that like a soap opera?
Is that like a soap opera?
Yeah, like a soap opera.
Yeah, like a soap opera or like a romantic one.
But like Mexican.
Yeah, Mexican.
Like me amor, me de rena.
And then like we like caress each.
Or not we, but like we were saying some stuff yesterday too.
I don't mind.
Dude this one is.
I love's love too.
Yeah, we don't like that.
Like we'll put on wigs and put like we're a girl.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like you said you're in your bowl.
would practice picking.
That was different.
That was with Zini.
Like, hey, yo, Johnny, pretend we're going to a bar.
No, that was really on stream with Zini.
Crim exaggerated it.
He exaggerated it.
I'm not sure that flirt with you.
Let's practice flirting before we go out.
Role playing is perfectly fine.
Everyone does it.
Everyone.
Everyone does it.
With their boys.
Everyone does it with the boys.

I think Maniac, because he's King of...
I think Maniac should go and he should...
I don't need anywhere near that stage.
And he should give a speech.
I don't need anywhere near that stage.
And you should get plastered before.
Nope.
Have you seen the speech or no?
I feel like Hungry Box is nominated every year.

How is Kai
Streamer of the year?
For gaming?
But he barely started streaming
I mean for one it's
Esports
Yeah
How's Kai there?
Not covering competition?
Kai has
Jesus dude
These guys are just pure entertainment
And I like Kai
Super entertaining
His hero progress
Him and speed are the best at what they do
Yeah
But e-sports contractor
When he just started streaming
Like again a month ago
The e-sports awards are not
They're not
It's not
They ventured out of east sports
It's more of a variety thing now
Because look
I mean look
Streamer of the year
Like Koso's up there
Oatipixel's obviously
Counterstrike
Yeah
To burn peanuts a gamer
Like everyone there's a gamer
except for Kai, but he's, I don't know.
I don't know.
That's not true.
It's not a game.
Renato was a gamer.
Who?
I feel like Oni pixel.
I feel like Oni Pixel.
Yeah.
I mean, that's stable.
Ronaldo's valid up there, though.
Jason the wean.
I don't know who.
Listen.
Cedral is.
Obviously, these.
No, it's all valid to be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's streamer of the year.
It's not like e-sports streamer.
But we just see e-sports awards.
That's why I think they did
e-sports content creator the year.
And then they also just put an
streamer.
of the year. Yeah. Hey, Opti game
East... But One Pixel, like, literally
watch parties, Counterstrike and does his own
Conchickson. I think are the only two.
But I don't know that. I'm familiar
with two of those guys. Wait, fakers up there?
Eastport's personality of the year.
Let me guess. By has won it like
nine years straight or something.
Really? Yeah, he's one... But he
owns Spain. Right? It's Spain, right?
Yes. He started his own soccer league.
Oh, wow. What? Shotsis

There you go. I call a duty, 100%.
Shotsie and Lacefield.
A halo, 100%.
At life, Shotsie's body.
Dang.
Yeah, what I made of them?
You guys got to have your boys' backs.
You just gased Lacefield 20 minutes ago.
And you put optic down.
You said that you loved seeing formal...
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to take the moment right now
and in the comment section, type goodbye to our good friends.
It was a great time.
All because...
Hey, do you think, dude?
It was a good run.
It was a Linsanity run and I'm proud of it, man.
Kind of was.

I don't know, man.
Don't you do it?
Why are you waking at me?
Because what I do next year is based on what depends on other people.
and you know like we can ask
laisfield to see what we should
that's true he'd be great on the car
okay I'm sorry about you asked me my first time
I ever saw optic
that's all good
listen you ever heard a big timer
the old man of optic yeah I've heard of him
he's not an old man of optic
that's him what he brams him so fast
the old man of optic
I feel like that's hutch
that's it or hutch
diesel and hex
no diesel I got diesel
confused my bad
diesel one of them brams and so that's like in their bio
The old man.
That's Diesel.
The creator of the logo.
He created Opti.
But what about, uh, what about, uh, big timer?
You never heard of big timer?
Yeah, he played B-O-2 for you guys, right?
That's right.
Hard carried.
Hard carry.
Hard carry.
Yeah.
Who was the best out of that, that old group?
Like, besides Seth.
Uh, was there a snout between like the, the, like, Clayster, big timer, Merck.
Who else?
No does it like.
What game are you talking about?
Yeah, what year?
Like.
I just did this on stream.
When did?
Optics first years of like winning.
Maybe we can like pull it up what the rosters were.
I'm talking like 2000.
I don't even know if they had 2008, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2009.
Basically, before Big T retired.
The first MLG event that Optic won was in Blockups 1, I believe, unless he corrects me.
It's in Blackups 1 and that was like proofie was insane.
Before Big T retired, who was the best besides Skinner?
out of like
I don't know
people that have been
probably will
I just don't see him as like
a competitor
a killer
just like yeah killer
Will
will only played one year
of the boom of
Cod
he only played blackups two
Will was really
really good at Cod 4
really good at Model War for 3
I don't know how he was in Blackups 1
and then he played Blackups 2
and was good in Blackups 2
well he won championships
blackups 1
like was Will better
than like Rambo.
Those were their duo.
He was the better one?
I mean,
history will...
Yeah, you asked and they said him
and like you just don't want to believe it's his name.
No, I'm genuinely curious.
Because Nick...
How good of a player do you think Nick was back in Hela?
I mean, you guys said he was going really nag and sword,
flame sort, so probably not...
I mean, he was good enough to be on the team.
But does he look like a killer?
Don't push him.
Yeah.
he does.
He does look like a killer.
He won a world championship.
Yeah, I wouldn't pick a five.
Do you know what year he won a world championship?
2006.
2006.
Damn, 09, 2009.
Close?
2006.
I was six years old in my defense when you won over a championship.
2006 was only like four teams competing.
I think Tuger won that one.
It's a Tudor hater.
2006 was a good year, but the 48 wins before that.
Explain what you were talking about with Ian.
You and Matt talking about Ian, not being the goat.
I'm interested.
Oh, on the flight cast.
No.
I would never have.
No, I mean, formal.
You just said, I was kind of just, I was just, I was just joking.
Formal, but Formal did say, what was the question?
It was like, are wins overvalued over skill?
Because some people might have a decent amount of wins, but formal was like,
some people do have a decent amount of wins
but what did those wins look like
were you actually there watching the wins
people would just chalk up a win as
like is
I'm trying to think of a team that is one
would you count the minor
this year as a chip
would apathies win be the same as
Sillies win because then they win
together yeah but they won the same team
but it's like who is dominating
that is shit like Hixie
so that was sort of the discussion of like
some people
chip it was basically world championships are overrated
what uh not overrated in a sense of like it's not cool to win them but it's it is just another tournament
just because you win you could win no other events but if you have three rings you're one of the goats
so they eggs got blessed with his last ring like blessed from the gods yeah he he was on some
random team they randomly had a good event Seth played bad I think formal was trying to say like
when when formal was winning formal was done
dominating.
And then there's a lot of people,
they come sort of second half of their career.
They're still getting some wins,
but it's like they have the kids that are dominating
and they're still getting wins off that.
I can see that.
It's a fair argument.
Formal salty because he never got that.
I think so, yeah.
Well, he got in Halo.
He got in Halo.
He had a crazy team of Halo.
That's true.
Formal was the best,
if not second best on the team.
That is true.
He did have lucid.
Luce was crazy.
He was still tucking.
But yeah,
I guess that was the discussion.
Are you mad?
You never got that?
You never got like frosty
Starlight Eco around you?
Yeah.
Like I wish I'd
I wish you would have fucking asked for it.
I feel like it's throwing shots
anytime I like say a name
but yes I do wish.
Damn.
I wish I would have had me
a stellar bound legend.
Like do I win?
Not ready?
Or do I just bring them to shit?
There's no way though.
You just go from top six to top four.
But top four is good.
it. I'll take top four.
B-T.H. Look at all those ones.
Look at all those ones.
Just X off, man.
There's a bunch of ones right there.
X off.
Well, some blue. There's some blue in there.
There's some blue. I saw blue a little bit.
I saw a green. History, ladies and gentlemen, repeats itself.
Let's take a look. Dashian Formal Celebration.
What is this?
Oh, shit. Wait. He did that on purpose.
He did that on purpose. He did that on purpose.
This is wrong.
I chipped that.
Oh my God, he loves him.
He didn't go for the hug after.
Well, I don't think, I don't think Merck was with the program.
Yeah, Merck wasn't.
Where's my...
Yeah.
Love that shit.
Oh, hell yeah.
Fire.
I like that a lot.
Fire.
I bet some...
That's a dual autograph card right there.
Crazy shit with that.
That's a dual autograph card right there.
You got to get it going right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hit up the people.
We got to do that shit.
That's dope as hell.
Optic and Doer the gun.
Gonlin, congratulations again to the boys, man.
Shout out the coaches, JP and Karma.
Congratulations to Shasi for winning MVP.
Who, what a fucking tournament.
Merck, Dashy.
The boys did great, man.
So happy for them.
What a year of Cod.
And thank God, you know, they got over the hump in the second half of the year.
They won, you know, the last two out of the last three.
Because a year of only second places would have been hard.
But still, to get grand finals nine tournaments.
I mean, has there ever been a run like this?
No.
No.
No.
No.
Cod history.
It's never happened.
It's never ever happened.
And like people are still, even before this tournament, when they got second at, uh,
yeah, worlds, people were like, just, just saying dumb shit.
Like, absolute nonsense.
This seems low-key trash.
Like, they're bad.
Just nonsense.
Just insanity.
When they're in the midst of the, I didn't see a single one of those comments.
In the midst of their in, they're in the single greatest run in Call of Duty history.
Right.
Like you could, that could be this, that could be the best.
Call of Duty team to ever play.
If you think about it,
if we weren't the only team
that had to lose twice
or we were the only team
that didn't get to lose twice
before being out of a tournament,
there is a timeline in which
we win every single one.
Oh, you're saying the format?
It wasn't like that.
I want to know the player's thoughts
about Damon coaching.
What you mean?
It's the same thing that happened last time.
He says things when he needs to send
majority of the time he kept quiet.
I don't know.
I didn't hear him talk about it.
about frequency is interested
JP said the frequency is the best
map in Blackup 7 and they played it for two
weeks. Yeah. That's unfortunate.
That's on the game though.
That's not on the league. I don't think.
What part? That frequency was added so late.
Oh yeah. That's not on the, I mean, no, it's not. I mean,
whatever. The fact of the matter is that
there's, there's, it's so discombobulated and now that Microsoft
is there, hopefully something that something fucking can
happen, but next year,
Warfare 4, release the game with 6 star, release the game with Rio.
2J and Tunisia.
Yeah, sure.
Release the game with like maybe Vista or Scrapyard.
Like if you need it to stay IW maps, release the game with the maps that we know are good, right off the bat.
Because-
You don't want all new maps?
No.
I'm on your side.
I was about, I'm really shaking my head.
Like, I'm tired of the green.
We made and redo like, let's get new maps.
We did it in flight.
I think we did this in the flycast.
There's been over, what was it like,
1,300 maps in Cod history.
No.
It was something crazy.
I think it's like 1,300 maps.
Get the fuck out of here.
We're at a point.
We're way past the point.
There's just been too many maps.
It's impossible to make good maps.
We already have the good maps.
Yeah.
Like we have,
every good map we ever view.
Leave the wireframe the same and just like skin the,
the makeup of it.
Yes.
I'm such a casual.
I don't mind watching the same maps.
That's not a casual.
That's what everyone does.
Everyone watches dust too.
So you were okay with Raid again.
Yes.
On BOSM for the same.
Yes.
Really?
Well, it doesn't have to be Raid.
I know.
I was just an example.
In Backup 7,
I would have rather had Frequency Arsenal,
uh,
French.
I would have rather have those maps than Raid again,
but I'll take Raid again over trying to play Garrison,
you know,
or trying to force,
I like Harrison, but I know what you mean.
Trying to force crossroads at the beginning of Cold War.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Just on that.
Yeah, it's just like, just play the, play the maps that we like play.
Strike.
Strike should be one of the fucking staple S&D maps of all time.
So what if they found a map pool of, what's the usual count for map pools?
I got an idea.
In a game.
In a competitive.
How many maps are in the competitive map pool?
I think they usually try to get five of each game mode.
So like 15 map rotation.
So what if every game had the same almost 15 maps?
I think that should happen.
And just every game is the same 15.
It should be done how like Valerant does their like Valorant will have a split.
And during that split there's five maps.
And then the next split they take two maps out, put two maps in.
But those two maps they took out, maybe they rework them a little bit.
And then two splits later, those two maps come back.
That's what it, that's what Cod should be.
We should always have, if this map's not working,
at least we've got Raid in the tuck.
At least we've got, you know, frequency ready to come back.
That's a good idea, yeah.
I just feel, I don't know why that's not.
There is some competitive integrity with that, too.
Because I'm sure there's some maps to where they're like,
dude, what?
This map makes no sense.
How are they spawning there?
Like, this map's horrible.
It doesn't even make, like,
if you get that hill, it's a free hilt that you can't even break.
But it also happens in Halo.
Like, Halo will release a map pool.
I mean, think about that, like,
desert map.
the two buildings on each side that they were playing at the beginning of
of Hello Infinite and they played that for like four tournaments and it was ass and it's
like if you would have just had there was bizarre yeah bizarre it's a CTF map right I think so yeah
it's like if you would have just had Coliseum ready just put it in for bizarre until
another map comes out that we can play I feel like it in it just it's just how it should be
in FPS is in my opinion the cock community anoints optic taxes the best CDO team of
all time who's that who's the cut
How do we know?
That's not even a debate.
I mean, I agree.
You think the current Object Texas team is the best CDL team of all time?
Oh, the best CDL team of all time.
Sorry, sorry.
I thought, yeah, I mean, it's either, I think it's definitely top two.
They could back it up.
Because it's either our guys now or phase Cold War.
Those are the only two, right?
This is the only two dominant teams.
No one has done what we have done this year.
Exactly. Yep, that's what they say.
The season is over, and Merck is still.
competing. Let's take a look at this.
He's probably playing.
League of Legends.
No, this is good.
Yo, for real, we should. Wait, talking about
a play post-EWC.
Yo, for real, we shouldn't play like that though, Mason.
Chill, the year's over, Mace.
We don't have to worry about that map anymore.
Brandon, that doesn't matter.
Nah, Mace, he, though.
It does matter, though.
Yeah, and you're going to learn.
I always thought that part was interesting
about, like, filming the guys.
Is after Champs was over, they would still go back
and watch the Vod.
And I'm like, bro, it's,
you're not going to ever play
well they're not watching it to like learn
they're watching it to blame no
they would still talk no they would still say like
we have we we have to rotate here
like mid season
no this is at the last event
at the end of the last event at the end of the last
no it's still EWC maybe that's why
no no no no it's what I was filming
there was no there was no
there is some like points that like
it doesn't matter what the Cata is
the points still translate to just any
call of view
I mean I just think it's anything yeah
you're telling me of the
Super Bowl, the players don't watch the thing, like
the season's over, but they're still gonna, you know.
Yeah, no, you're, I guess
it's just when you compete at that higher level.
Yeah. And you rewatch it and you're like,
I should, any time you win, you're rewatching
it. Yeah. Just to get, just to get dope.
Wait, the R-AW team had an average placing
of 1.7? That's insane.
And they didn't win that year?
They won a lot of events. No, I'm saying, they just had more
wins. They just didn't win champs, no. Well, what did they
place that champs? Seventh.
But they won, they won, they won, they won, they won,
It got a three-peat and then they lost, they got seventh at champs, and then they won the next event.
Literally, like, just a fluke.
That's why people...
Yeah, but what's that 1.71?
How many...
Wait, if they got seventh and still got 1.7...
That's good.
But how many events is that over?
Like 40.
It's a shit ton of event.
40?
No, not 40.
I was over exaggeration, but it's 12.
12 to 14.
Yeah, way more than...
Way more than five.
That is insane, bro.
I didn't realize that.
1.7.
That's crazy because it's probably,
that means that's optics's most dominant year ever,
and they got seven.
One, two, three, four, five, six, and eight.
What the fuck?
I didn't realize we were that dominant.
Eight out of 13, they got number one.
This was 2015?
That is insane.
I think I was just going to the event getting drunk.
I think so, too.
Me too.
New Orleans, for sure.
That's your first one.
New Orleans.
That's your first appearance.
Yeah.
You heard the New Orleans story?
No.
Let's just say this.
I'm sleeping in my suite and I hear.
And I say, no, thank you.
I don't want no fucking room service.
I have a headache.
I just was drinking last night.
I was a young man.
No, thank you.
It's merrh.

He got hooked by some chicks.
Hey, it's a good night.

They stole everything from him.
Oh, he's not.

It was a fake threesome.
You got, they, they did you?
That's something like that.
No, you're so.
Me?
I'm not the one saying it.
They put it up my butt in.
But you get what I meant.
Like, when I say they did you, like they got you.
Like they got you.
Like they got you.
They got it.
They cuff me, put it in my butt.
What?
And then left to get ice and never came back.
Never came back.
Never came back.
Not even with the ice to ice.
It's out of me.
Flame sword woke up.
Be like, what the?
Go on.
Gone.
Well, he said, why is this attached to me?
Damn, that's the biggest blue ball ever.
To know about that, man.
His money was gone.
They stole his credit card.
And there was water all over Mike's laptop.
Grimy.
Tell them what you said when you chased them down the hallway into the elevator.
So the elevator was closing down.
Oh, you were about to catch him?
I don't remember what I said then.
He said, you bitches disgust me.
And then I saw him the next night on the streets walking again.
Did you get your stuff?
They do.
No.
That credit card's long gone
What would you have done, sweetie?
I mean, I would have got my stuff back.
You would have got your stuff back?
How would you have gotten your stuff back?
You got to think it's 6 a.m.
He's a dude.
I'm the dude.
In my underwear.
In my underwear.
But yeah, I went back to my hotel.
And it was the same underwear.
He was wearing a champs.
Put clothes on.
Went right down to the lobby.
And I was like, I need to like call my bank.
And keep in mind, I'm fucking hammered.
Like, gone.
You see the girls that stole your stuff
and you're just like, what do I do?
like, I know what I'm...
I didn't say what I was getting...
I caused the scene and, like, talk shit to him.
He did cause the scene.
She said, I've never seen you in my life.
Oh, but you pull that card.
You pulled that car.
It was like the second day I met Nick.
And literally on the streets of, on Bourbon Street, he's literally like pointing at these two
girls, these are the fucking bitches that stole my shit.
Nobody go near these bitches.
And I was like, well, this guy is crazy.
They did it for Lopez, Cardi B, Dura.
You're a.
Thing is, Flame got the worst of it.
Oh, he too.
Broke his laptop.
Broke his laptop.
Just like before they left, they poured water on it.
So then you couldn't cancel.
Yeah.
You could wake up and just open a laptop and like, cancel your credit.
Yeah.
It's just like, it's, but hopefully, you know what?
They're in jail, hopefully?
Well, hopefully the universe is dealt with what needed to be dealt with.
If they were no longer productive members to society, then.

Like a Polaris.
That's too big.
That's like the size of an actual Jeep, though.
It can't be a Polaris.

Who?
That's the only way he knows how to communicate.
No.
He came to my stream yesterday and it was like, good job today.
Oh, he made me smile.
As God's no witness.
I promise.
He came in instead, are you still doing that?

Card show
But then it's like it's
So I just like act like I didn't see it

Eldon my Eldon ring marathon
Oh no
He was like
Ha ha ha like my fucking ass off
You're so bad
And I was just like
Oh damn it
You just don't give him any
I just like if I see I can see
I just
I'm not looking at chat for the next
And I ignored him for like two hours
I kept seeing something
Yeah
just reading around him.
You knew you were getting
heated?
What is,
what is Pomage's best?
Wait,
no, hold on.
Callagery shows off
new CS2 style
smoke grenade physics
and at Fanatics Fest.
Yeah,
this will be interesting.
Swutty,
we're gonna need your,
uh,
we're gonna need your,
we're gonna need EMSS and Deges.
I already told them
that I need them to.
Like to one way?
No, it's not a one.
You know what?
Have you ever played Counterstright?
Yeah,
you know how you throw a smoke in CS2
and you can shoot through it?
And then they'll open a little bit.
Yeah,
or you drop a naddaid?
Oh,
be nasty. Can you drop a nadin opens?
Oh, I met that guy. Yeah.
Oh, that's cool. Yeah. You shoot through it.
Actually, actually gonna be nasty at the next cod.
Obviously. I might
grind this one. I said that for the last one though, and I didn't even
download it. Yeah, I'm level, I'm level five.
Mental health. Mental health.
That doesn't exist, dude. I'm kidding.
Tons of visual recoil. Yeah. I don't know if I like this
sniper. I definitely don't like the scope.
The sniper is disgusting
Or whatever that gun will never be used
Ever. Whoever made it
Toy
Terminated.
Noob
It's just gonna be interesting to see how
Cod plays with this type of smoke
Because smoke is smoke
Smokes have been an issue in Cod for like what
Six years now?
Five years?
Is this smoke just what?
Too much?
Well, you throw the smoke
You lose aim assist in the smoke
You know it's crazy
So they don't use it to cut off sites
They use it to throw at their feet
And shawsy around
You know what's crazy is that
Call of Duty 2 smokes were a big
issue. If you threw enough of them on the ground,
everybody will start lagging in the server.
Everyone.
So, Call of Duty and Smokes,
they just haven't figured it out.
It's only been 20...
I like Ghost smokes.
They were good, right?
But then you had a thermal.
Which brought thermal's into the game.
So you had to throw the smoke and then you had to have,
what, like, blind eye on or cold-blooded
and then run through the smoke.
I didn't mind ghost smoke.
Hopefully the ProZone GA smokes
this year. All right, what is, what's the
block of football? Yeah, it's anoints.
Is this the, I still don't even
Oh, yeah, bro, this, this shot is insane.
Who is this? Dino Bino. He's a guy that plays
He's the guy that plays on the
recorder or the
two piece. The quad head.
Quad head. He plays on a
six, a six on screen quad head.
But this, he's not a playing on the flute right now.
And he died. But he plays on the flute in war zone.
I don't get it. What do you mean? You don't
get it. You don't think that's a good clip?
He literally just shot.
Okay, right here they shot. He didn't mean to get a collat there.
I'm not impressed.
I mean to be get collats. Like they just happen.
Cool.
From the godfather sniping.
If he's not impressed, I'm not impressed.
He killed four people in the head with one bullet.
See, but what I don't like is people.
But it's a lot.
It's a lucky thing though.
It's not a.
People will be like this is the best sniping clip and cod history.
Who said that? Pam said that?
And I'm like this completely lucky thing.
Yes.
Dude.
Come here.
fucking god
who just became best friends
both of the both of those shots were just luck
he didn't like the four
I just hit the best clip on blackouts too
yeah exactly

I'd be all up in their gills
