CDL Denies Spacestation?! + Why H3CZ Says Franchising Not Worth It (Episode 259)
P
69:48Preston ByersHOST
It just makes a lot of sense.
P
69:50Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
70:06Preston ByersHOST
Esports teams have really helped Call of Duty.
P
70:09Preston ByersHOST
And you have these streamers.
P
70:11Preston ByersHOST
How many people have stuck around because they watch Skump? Maybe not even a fan of OpTic as much anymore.
P
70:16Preston ByersHOST
Maybe they don't watch a ton of CDL stuff, but they know that Skump plays Call of Duty.
P
70:21Preston ByersHOST
They knew that he does YouTube videos and he does Twitch streams, and so they interact with that.
Scrap & HyDra to FaZe?! + M80 Boston + Heretics Blowing It Up?! (Episode 258)
P
23:20Preston ByersHOST
I don't agree.
P
23:21Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
23:36Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
23:46Preston ByersHOST
So, uh, I don't agree about Joe and I don't think pink does either.
21 MINS LATER
P
45:16Preston ByersHOST
So I don't know what the connection would be.
P
45:18Preston ByersHOST
Yeah.
P
45:20Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
45:29Preston ByersHOST
But you have like – most of these teams are already with their organization branding, M80, C9, FaZe, OpTic.
MW4 WORST COD EVER? | FAZE SUPERTEAM RUMORS! | THE FLANK
T
68:48Tommy PaparattoHOST
They could have won.
D
68:49Dylan PriceGUEST
And they, and they, and they beat OpTic in EWC and then they lost to 'em-
T
68:53Tommy PaparattoHOST
The issue is-
D
68:53Dylan PriceGUEST
...
T
69:25Tommy PaparattoHOST
Yeah.
T
69:25Tommy PaparattoHOST
Yeah.
D
69:25Dylan PriceGUEST
They know OpTic.
D
69:26Dylan PriceGUEST
That's why you think Hydra wants to go to OpTic.
PRESENTING THE OpTic AWARDS | The Flycast Ep. 205
H
24:59HitchHOST
... for the professional yapper
A
25:00AtrainHOST
And it's crazy, I'm the least social one in OpTic.
A
25:03AtrainHOST
Well, wouldn't say that.
H
25:04HitchHOST
Yeah, I don't know how to say.
H
25:41HitchHOST
Like, whenever we-
A
25:42AtrainHOST
It's not a bad thing
H
25:42HitchHOST
... 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.
H
25:54HitchHOST
But that's Pam for you.
MW4 Beta Thoughts + Scrap & HyDra Sticking?! + Where Will Alluka Go? (Episode 257)
P
28:39Preston ByersHOST
And, you know, I said it from the very beginning that Kenny was, he stuck out like a sore thumb on that team.
P
28:44Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
28:57Preston ByersHOST
He was really bad for the team.
P
28:59Preston ByersHOST
He ends up getting dropped.
22 MINS LATER
P
50:49Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
51:01Preston ByersHOST
And they were certainly not infallible.
P
51:03Preston ByersHOST
Like if you're Optic and, you know, Optic and FaZe had, you know, somewhat similar seasons, obviously FaZe wins champs, Optic wins EWC.
P
51:12Preston ByersHOST
They each won one major.
Off-season Rostermania Begins, CoD Next & MW4 Beta | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 290
S
13:24Seth AbnerHOST
Like, come on, bro.
H
13:25Hector RodriguezHOST
No. Don't rock the boat is the saying that we say here at OpTic for a little-
S
13:29Seth AbnerHOST
To go every grand final, I don't give a fuck how many seconds there were.
S
13:33Seth AbnerHOST
That's still crazy, bro.
27 MINS LATER
S
40:05Seth AbnerHOST
Yeah.
H
40:05Hector RodriguezHOST
[laughs]
S
40:05Seth AbnerHOST
It'd be cool if we got, like, a OpTic server and everyone played on it.
A
40:09Anthony Cuevas-CastroGUEST
That attitude.
CDL Rostermania PREDICTIONS: FaZe SCRAP?! 🚨 Dope Check 111
T
11:04Tactical RabHOST
You're at the gym with Ken.
T
11:05Tactical RabHOST
He's, uh, officially an OpTic member.
T
11:06Tactical RabHOST
What's happened, bro? Like, we brought him into the Dug and, uh, the, um...
T
11:09Tactical RabHOST
Well, fucking Dug and Dom-
T
11:13Tactical RabHOST
And then he got scouted from the KD watch party, and now he's, uh-
D
11:16DonHOST
Yeah
T
11:16Tactical RabHOST
... now he's got an OpTic chain.
T
11:17Tactical RabHOST
Like, what's this cheese, man? It's criminal.
Simp Leaving FaZe?! + OpTic Re-Signs Huke (Episode 256)
P
0:20Preston ByersHOST
that I don't think either one of us was expecting.
P
0:22Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
0:33Preston ByersHOST
And I think a lot of confirmations about players not being with a team as of now.
P
0:41Preston ByersHOST
We have a lot of unrestricted free agents, a lot of restricted free agents.
20 MINS LATER
P
20:16Preston ByersHOST
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.
P
20:23Preston ByersHOST
Like, we'll see with Gentlemates if they're willing to go that far.
P
20:26Preston ByersHOST
But, like, OpTic doesn't really do that.
P
20:28Preston ByersHOST
They might do it for Shotzi, like, if he were in that position.
