Preston ByersHOST
69:48
It just makes a lot of sense.
Preston ByersHOST
69:50
How many people have stuck around and played more Call of Duty, watched more streams, bought more stuff because they were fans of OpTic, whether they were fans of FaZe, even before competitive was really big, but sniping clans really helped Call of Duty.
Preston ByersHOST
70:06
Esports teams have really helped Call of Duty.
Preston ByersHOST
70:09
And you have these streamers.
Preston ByersHOST
70:11
How many people have stuck around because they watch Skump? Maybe not even a fan of OpTic as much anymore.
Preston ByersHOST
70:16
Maybe they don't watch a ton of CDL stuff, but they know that Skump plays Call of Duty.
Preston ByersHOST
70:21
They knew that he does YouTube videos and he does Twitch streams, and so they interact with that.
Preston ByersHOST
23:20
I don't agree.
Preston ByersHOST
23:21
I mean, he is obviously underperformed against OpTic specifically, but I still think that Joe is one of the best players and if you're kind of judging them on whether they have their best series against optic, then like, you're never going to pick up like any of these players, because that just typically doesn't happen.
Preston ByersHOST
23:36
Like, you know, you might get, uh, one of the phase guys that go for had a pretty crazy, uh, champ grand finals against, uh, optic and, you know, simp, but like simp is one of the greatest players of all time.
Preston ByersHOST
23:46
So, uh, I don't agree about Joe and I don't think pink does either.

Preston ByersHOST
45:16
So I don't know what the connection would be.
Preston ByersHOST
45:18
Yeah.
Preston ByersHOST
45:20
Yeah, and then the Royal Ravens is like infinite esports, but not like the one that had bought OpTic or whatever many, many moons ago.
Preston ByersHOST
45:29
But you have like – most of these teams are already with their organization branding, M80, C9, FaZe, OpTic.
Tommy PaparattoHOST
68:48
They could have won.
Dylan PriceGUEST
68:49
And they, and they, and they beat OpTic in EWC and then they lost to 'em-
Tommy PaparattoHOST
68:53
The issue is-
Dylan PriceGUEST
68:53
...
Tommy PaparattoHOST
69:25
Yeah.
Tommy PaparattoHOST
69:25
Yeah.
Dylan PriceGUEST
69:25
They know OpTic.
Dylan PriceGUEST
69:26
That's why you think Hydra wants to go to OpTic.
HitchHOST
24:59
... for the professional yapper
AtrainHOST
25:00
And it's crazy, I'm the least social one in OpTic.
AtrainHOST
25:03
Well, wouldn't say that.
HitchHOST
25:04
Yeah, I don't know how to say.
HitchHOST
25:41
Like, whenever we-
AtrainHOST
25:42
It's not a bad thing
HitchHOST
25:42
... whenever we have, like, OpTic night or w- when, when we had OpTic night and, and the, our time was up, Pam was like, "Do y'all wanna keep playing?" And I was like, "I'd be down." And then no one else said they were down.
HitchHOST
25:54
But that's Pam for you.
Preston ByersHOST
28:39
And, you know, I said it from the very beginning that Kenny was, he stuck out like a sore thumb on that team.
Preston ByersHOST
28:44
He, he was literally a, like a bottom, you know, tier CDL player the season before and, Certainly with Optic, who knows what was actually going on with that team because the team was really bad.
Preston ByersHOST
28:57
He was really bad for the team.
Preston ByersHOST
28:59
He ends up getting dropped.

Preston ByersHOST
50:49
I certainly think that because we saw FaZe have, you know, they weren't bad at any point in this season, but they were inconsistent for a good portion of this season.
Preston ByersHOST
51:01
And they were certainly not infallible.
Preston ByersHOST
51:03
Like if you're Optic and, you know, Optic and FaZe had, you know, somewhat similar seasons, obviously FaZe wins champs, Optic wins EWC.
Preston ByersHOST
51:12
They each won one major.
Seth AbnerHOST
13:24
Like, come on, bro.
Hector RodriguezHOST
13:25
No. Don't rock the boat is the saying that we say here at OpTic for a little-
Seth AbnerHOST
13:29
To go every grand final, I don't give a fuck how many seconds there were.
Seth AbnerHOST
13:33
That's still crazy, bro.

27 MINS LATER

Seth AbnerHOST
40:05
Yeah.
Hector RodriguezHOST
40:05
[laughs]
Seth AbnerHOST
40:05
It'd be cool if we got, like, a OpTic server and everyone played on it.
Anthony Cuevas-CastroGUEST
40:09
That attitude.
Tactical RabHOST
11:04
You're at the gym with Ken.
Tactical RabHOST
11:05
He's, uh, officially an OpTic member.
Tactical RabHOST
11:06
What's happened, bro? Like, we brought him into the Dug and, uh, the, um...
Tactical RabHOST
11:09
Well, fucking Dug and Dom-
Tactical RabHOST
11:13
And then he got scouted from the KD watch party, and now he's, uh-
DonHOST
11:16
Yeah
Tactical RabHOST
11:16
... now he's got an OpTic chain.
Tactical RabHOST
11:17
Like, what's this cheese, man? It's criminal.
Preston ByersHOST
0:20
that I don't think either one of us was expecting.
Preston ByersHOST
0:22
We got some news about Hydra, about OpTic potentially not making a change, which was certainly a topic of conversation over the last few weeks.
Preston ByersHOST
0:33
And I think a lot of confirmations about players not being with a team as of now.
Preston ByersHOST
0:41
We have a lot of unrestricted free agents, a lot of restricted free agents.

20 MINS LATER

Preston ByersHOST
20:16
I mean, that's as aggressive as it can be because there are very, very few of any other Call of Duty teams that are willing to do that.
Preston ByersHOST
20:23
Like, we'll see with Gentlemates if they're willing to go that far.
Preston ByersHOST
20:26
But, like, OpTic doesn't really do that.
Preston ByersHOST
20:28
They might do it for Shotzi, like, if he were in that position.
