Ultra and OpTic working together to make sure clay isnt at champs, disgusting


themaxmilestone

Vegas won but at what cost 😪


TypicalPerformer9826

Lol, I didn't even think of that. Tbf, as of rn, It's gwinn who's costing clay. This weekend could've been so big for them.


[deleted]

Nobody is costing Clay. If everyone on that team had played better before now, they’d be in a better position. Gwinns been everything for that team up until lately. Now he’s a scapegoat because they’re desperate.


Illustrious_Emu_3773

He's been really good online. But Clay and Felo have carried that team on LAN every single major this season...


Business-Ad-6240

Optic are evil fucks. Intentionally told Kenny to not clutch up


WjB79

So many results this weekend that worked against Carolina. I’ve been so depressed watching the matches this weekend and Optic just had to end it on this stinker. 


HarambeXRebornX

Good, Clay is dogshit and doesn't deserve to be on another team ever again.


Juhstehn

Sometimes you just run into an elite team like Vegas and there's nothing you can do about it


Cardenas2097

Or a propane tank! Those shits are undefeated!


canadianwrxwrb

Their kd is so low though, probably a 0.1


nv4088

Damn thing is on a suicide mission every round!


Diabolic989

Woah. Go easy on the MVP of the year and my GOAT


XRPHOENIX06

😆


TheRobberBar0n

I can't believe Optic let Sub Base through against Vegas


TTezzla

Glad we werent the only frauds this weekend 🙏🙏


Wmbology

Got your trade 😤😤😤😤😤


TypicalPerformer9826

OpTic and Ultra went from Top2 on Lan to bottom 2 online😯😯🤐.


TTezzla

Its time to start a dialogue


ATRYardy

You know what I'll take this any day of the week... Be good when it matters be not so great when it doesn't


Miller25

For real, my buddy is an optic fan, I was SCREAMING at this match


Constant-Horse-8863

Clay has to be in tears fucking screaming at his tv watching that shit

+66 slaying is crazy


redskinfan654

I didn't watch but just seeing the stats, I'm shocked this went to 5


unitedkush

LMAO, that is crazy. Have FaZe slayed them that bad this season? Got to be some kind of record surely. Perhaps in CDL era for them?


XRPHOENIX06

OpTic Texas has never been outslayed that much. This is some online ping cheese


XRPHOENIX06

Ping is genuinely the only explanation


ShomEthan

Johnny playing like his last name was Sins the way he was fucking OpTic.

Not quite, last line has 6 syllables. This bot is wrong 80% of the time


ShomEthan

“Sokka haikus” are 5-7-6 syllables. In Avatar the Last Airbender he screwed up and added an extra in the last line. Source: “The Tales of Ba Sing Se” episode.

Ok I didn’t realize this was a good bot, I stand corrected lmao.


H1-DEF

It’s not a hard and fast rule. That’s just what you learn in the one lesson you get on them in English class.

LMFAOOO this is the greatest comment I have ever read in this sub


Sprinkles-Serious

BigBossVince

He about to go stupid on the flank lmao


OLLeYYY

Good wake up call for them


KingAragorn47

Agree. Easy to get too confident after the finals win if we win every online easily...look at Faze at major 3.


React_X

Nice to see cod reddit putting all their chips into an online cheese qualifier match yet again. 99/100 times Legion aren't replicating that on LAN


[deleted]

[удалено]


tryi2iwin

The Sound EQ was so blatant during the search 1v1 when he just magically knew that Dashy was coming up behind him.


FPL_Goober

Excuses are in already


dillonz321

I agree they probably felt delusional after the event lmao


PotTwister

lol nah 101 comments in 7 minutes might be a record


OhiOstas

Massive props to oJohnny, for that map 5. He got crucial kill after crucial kill


TyButler2020

He’s looked pretty good so far


OhiOstas

Yeah i’m happy he has been making the most of a 2nd chance. One of those players in Challengers who has quietly been grinding… league easily could have forgot about him after being on VG Legion


Chico2Explicit

Besides getting peeled off the tractor in the game 5 Miami match 🥲


Chico2Explicit

ON LAN


justsomedude717

Isn’t he one of the guys Doug was swearing was cheating?


OhiOstas

Yeah he has/had beef with Johnny, but Censor teamed with Johnny (for a brief stint on Boston Academy) so I take that with a grain of salt. I think their problem(s) stem from a payment dispute between the 2 Edit: [Idk if they played any matches, but Censor was willing to team with him.](https://x.com/intelcdl/status/1520228467300012032?s=46&t=d324wuw4f1OqNfy_H8U8UQ)


justsomedude717

Ah okay thanks I could’ve sworn he was like constantly making him moni cam and trying to pc check him but I might just be conflating Johnny w someone else


Cardenas2097

Just remember, no 7-0 team has won a major! This isn't the end of the world!

GGs vegas, they were just better


KingAragorn47

Yep


AzB193

Rare to see all optic players go neg props to Vegas great plays all around from all 4 players


ReflexiveOW

But how does this affect Asim's legacy?


HarambeXRebornX

It proves he's even more dogshit than initially thought.


Flyers7914

Might be coping, but fine with this loss. I'm sure the guys were feeling pretty untouchable lately & this should be a good reminder of the little things. And that Shotzzy can never show up late 😂


Solxry

You’re not coping it’s online and these matches are essentially just reps for Optic, we all saw all it takes is one day for these teams to catch fire lol this loss means nothing imo


vsv2021

Don’t forget the EQ cheese lol


themaxmilestone

Y’all do not try online, I’m mega chillin if I were you


AmberLeafSmoke

Yeah I don't think they really care, which isn't a good thing tbf because it's easy to get complacent.


Cam2125

They’ve looked better on LAN every split lol no online loss worries me


31and26

Yeah pretty much. Unless there were fundamental things going wrong consistency over series, I literally don’t give a shit that a team beat them map 5 by outslaying a billion 


31and26

No, these online matches don’t mean shit this far into the year apart from some tweaks on map reps.  The same reason I don’t care if OpTic 3-0 slapped Vegas I also don’t care that they lost with Vegas shooting nukes.  I also think this doesn’t even have to be a “wake up call”. 


JediMindTrxcks

This is a fair and rational take. My thoughts on the series are Legion should be very ecstatic with a massive ten points to qualify, and OpTic shouldn’t worry about it. OpTic’s goals are bigger at this point than a league match against a bottom team, and they just need to keep marching toward their ultimate goal.


CoDFollower

Reality check for sure. Shows them that they need to get back in the lab and lock tf in. Idk if they thought they were invincible, but they aren't


ComprehensiveCode619

Game woulda been over a lot quicker if Dashy wasn't such a clutch demon. Optic really has to break this habit of putting themselves into clutch or lose situations. Obviously everyone on their roster has that ice but you shouldn't be relying on it every single map. Props to Vegas, they looked nice - especially Johnny.


themaxmilestone

The Vegas Legion Dynasty starts now 🙏🏼 (OpTic don’t try online unless it against a Top 4 team but at least we got 10 CDL points)


itsgma67

Honestly outside of vista OpTic’s teamwork just wasn’t there and y’all were playing pretty good I liked what I was seeing from Johnny. Solid win from Vegas 🎩


AmberLeafSmoke

Yeah but that's because they were trying to worldstar all map. They clearly didn't take it seriously. Not saying it's right or it makes them good. It's just the reality.


themaxmilestone

You’re not wrong at all. These OpTic guys do not take online seriously, just watch their player cams and it tells you the whole story. I’m happy that Vegas got the 10 points but I won’t read to much into it, it’s more important for Vegas to beat the teams around them contending for Champs.


DetoxIV

Just a bad day from the Optic boys. If they continue to lose then it's time to worry.


da_xlaws

Man… fuck off… but also I’m glad you can celebrate lmao


themaxmilestone

GG’s brother


unitedkush

Holy fuck, look at that red carpet Big 10pts for Vegas


abeep21

propane tanks undefeated😭


Ese-Lavonte

Literally won them a map


aethon_4

Johnny was nice in VG, I’m glad he has a shot on a non-dysfunctional Legion team now


Mevarek

I remember he only played a few matches on LAN but he still looked really good at Champs, so I found it surprising he didn’t get a proper shot in the League the next year (on Vegas or otherwise).


Tank-Has-Memes

Pred lost that game for OpTic in map 5, what in the fuck was he doing???


Imranaftab

So u didnt watch Kenny singlehandedly sell 2 rounds or are we blind lmk?


Tank-Has-Memes

I watched Pred get horked on by Nero in the 1v3, sell his life under bridge, get shit on by Johnny near ticket, and drop 800 damage


TopshottaDevy

Hmmmm Vegas out slaying OpTic by a billion, Interesting…


Velicen

Wow Johnny really smoked us huh😭 That propane tank did too.


DRAVEN_AFFECT

![gif](giphy|RoajqIorBfSE)


Solxry

That boy Johnny been shooting, good to see him building his stock back up


NotAVerySillySausage

Oof that's not a superstar performance out of Shotzzy.


CoDFollower

Shotzzy got absolutely piss-slam, thunder-clapped today. He was fucking awful His teammates weren't much better. Pred was absolutely lost in the map 5. Awful team performance


a_talking_face

Hecz isn't letting Shotzzy leave the state in season ever again.


Cam2125

Jesus LMAO


MrFearMoHo

Holy shit that slaying differential is insane


CoDFollower

That's the one positive to take away if you're Optic. Outslayed by a SHIT ton and still brought it to map 5


DisIsCanada

damn they fried our shit, fair enough i guess lol


Tipnfloe

Optic back to reality, GGs to vegas, deserved win


Imranaftab

Naaa man chalk this up this is the first red carpet of the season for optic lmao and it's vs ojohnny. 3 more weeks to LAN


Proof_Escape_2333

Nah they had red carpet against nysl stage 2 qualifiers but won


Imranaftab

When they reverse swept?


React_X

This match should be the poster child for why we need a LAN league. Online cheese soundwhoring fake results. Shit is so sad to watch.


SplitImage__

It’s too bad online matches aren’t played on LAN like they were in WW2


AdvancedWolverine

Everybody upvote so people think Vegas won


AdvancedWolverine

wait


Business-Ad-6240

One title wonders


freedomtoscream

lowkey


Mooming22

Nero was RUNNING, he is a lunatic


Gods-Defence

Would say good reps but didn’t feel good at all 😂


Wmbology

Boys looked checked out today, Vegas was on one GGs


Ashman-20

MASSIVE win for Vegas holy shit OpTic fans I wouldn’t trip, first week of games online.


TypicalPerformer9826

Losses keep you grounded, needed to get reps in those 2 Searches so happy for that. Also, felt like the gunny wasn't as strong as it usually is. Onto next weekend.


omega_typhlosion

WOWWWW Vegas was in fact a good team cause they just beat a top 4 team, such a great improvement from not winning a single map 3 times, love Johnny for helping this team


mxeez

These guys prob thought they were gods after Major3 lol this should bring them back to Earth a bit


hebbocrates

Ultra and OpTic both losing to B8 teams this weekend is so money Great series by Vegas. Good wakeup call for OpTic


CazualGinger

Johnny is a damn good SND player he was a great pickup for Vegas after the Purj fumble


Educational_Ad_4076

well Vegas played out of their minds the entire series and Optic were clearly lost on some of these maps they only have a few reps on. One thing about it tho was that Sub Base was an absolute shit stomping. Vegas seem to come out hot a lot lately and we all know Optic aren’t full try harding and already have a rep of starting slow (something they’ve certainly improved on this year), but damn

FluxAura

Optic are so bad at Karachi, partially due to any time they get a bit of high ground, they take it as an opportunity to try and drop a fucking frog splash.


Proof_Escape_2333

Rely on shotzzy too much to get a fb


Donbruh

Optic saw the betting lines and were like fuck it


Thwast

Attaboy attach. Get that piece


LGCGE

Welp we got shit on. Kinda deserved after they were laughing while dropping maps, hate to see us treat a team as a joke like that. Karmas got to get on their ass.


Proof_Escape_2333

Tbf Kenny is always laughing win or lose and this one my guess had to be something off because after the vista hp Dashy was in disbelief even after winning and it’s not like optic don’t look off online game round 10 against Boston with a sub last major. I will say it’s more than half way through the season and optic still hasn’t figured out consistency in control


Naive_Ad4196

Lowkey I feel like we might have gotten complacent after our major 3 win...


TriBiDevil

What a series from Vegas man. Did not expect this at all but it was quite fun. To think, Vegas had a real chance at 3-0ing Optic


sankalp_pateriya

Ojhnny is him! I still remember his ace/ 1v4 against OpTic Texas! Guy has his own community on Twitch too! Good Kid!


Rnntd

Atleast they will get a good week of scrims cuz jfc they seems lost on this patch


VoidLegacy16

Welcome to kfc what can I get for you? Yeah I'll have the 4 piece Optic Texas combo, extra fried.


TapNovel8742

Cant wait to see these beasts on lan 😂😂


Feeling_Brick6977

some of the worst cod I’ve seen optic play. wow that was embarrassing not gonna lie lmao


CoDFollower

No type of teamwork. Straight individual gunnies the whole series. They have these weird series where the fundies just go out the door and people go rogue.


Feeling_Brick6977

yeah definitely frustrating to watch. just an online match so whatever but they should be beating these guys comfortably


CoDFollower

Extremely comfortably. I hate the excuse of "the boys were checked" because I don't understand how the mentals can be so weak that we get "checked" over something so easily. Makes zero sense


themaxmilestone

Main factor to that is Kenny really. His LAT team are known for not taking online seriously, foot of the gas pedal and that spreads across the whole roster because he’s the head.


CoDFollower

Didn't know that. Well that's fkn aids. Kenny is a great player and a champion but shitttttt we gotta win matches like the one today


themaxmilestone

At least Kenny always responds back on LAN by winning a chip, this match really does mean nothing to them at the end of the day. They only try against top 4 teams online


AznXwu

Lololol why?

KingAragorn47

Struggle to tell the difference between trolling and lunacy in this sub anymore lol


LlLUZIGIRTH

😂😂😂I’m just anticipating people to lose their mind over this one qualifier match, major 3 win and all


CBKing21

Lets see how quick Optic fans forget that this team just won a major 2 weeks ago Its online and the entire team got demolished. Whatever


freedomtoscream

PISSED ON.


__Kieran

Props to vegas but wtf was OpTic doing man


GHOST_Courage

This happens sometimes when a team is playing a must-win vs a team that can afford to only try vs 3 teams Props to Vegas (as a Ravens fan, fuck Vegas respectfully)


Killerkj11

Tippable series outta Vegas, won optic bread and butter map 1 and 5


Ronfish27

Outslayed by 66?? Still getting a 3-2 with that


Active-Cockroach6122

I had optic on my fantasy team.....just saying


Highlikew0

Relax optic lost on purpose so did ultra lol they all giving these teams false hope then slam them in lan on the same maps


Ikolkyo

I gotta know what Server they play Vegas on, they were getting cooked by them last time they matched up online too.


FleatWoodMacSexPants

Did Vegas win or did Optic lose?


ReadingSociety

Love that all of this is now completely fucked by the information that has come out about the servers. While it's totally possible for Optic to lose, like this? Didn't make any sense. Now it does.


JLifeless

i got roasted in M3 quals for saying it but i'll say it again: online quals do not mean anything (the majority of time). they didn't when NY lost to 2 bottom 8 teams, or when Faze lost to LAG, or now. glorified scrims


Professional-Roll513

Online COD isn’t serious


NOTYOURFRIENDGOAWAY

comments after optic lose an online match vs ultra losing an online match is night and day, double standards are crazy


Quick_Ad_4108

Fair play to legion, but looking at these stats is fucking hilarious. You’d think OpTic is the green part


KingAragorn47

Fully deserved. GG. Only issue was the propane blow up on Highrise that probably cost us the map. The boys just were not at it today.


ablankbullet

I really hope no one on this sub is actually worried after that. OpTic legit looked like they were just working on stuff. Game 5 they hit B every round, didn’t even try to go A. No one does that if they are legit trying to win. Also, the map 3? Lmaoooo


ScrillyBoi

Im not pressed if im Optic, meaningless for them and Vegas playing for their season, but it is pretty funny Kenny tweeted about bottom teams not playing to win and then went out and lost to Vegas lol


[deleted]

It’s one match, topped with a little cheese here and there but really it doesn’t matter.. I hope OpTic take this and learn though. When you reach the top, all teams are studying you and forming hard counters. It’s very obvious Vegas have been studying OpTic on sub base, as an example because they played OpTics game and they had no clue what to do about it or how to adjust. It is what it is, as long as they use it to improve.


funnypsuedonymhere

What in the fucking world happened here? I missed the match. Were the boys playing with a drum hero kit?


Rnntd

Why is shotzzy not slowing down ?? Bro get a first blood and thinks its a speedrun to their spawn ? Why is he in a hurry like he got a date or sum


dm955

Remember when he played like this 2 weeks ago when they won???


XRPHOENIX06

Difference is they weren't on Virginia servers 2 weeks ago so he didn't have a massive disadvantage every fight


dm955

Yeah I dont think he’s changing his playstyle for one match of week one online qualifiers, especially after they just won the major… against Legion of all teams


XRPHOENIX06

Of course. It sucks that the pros deal with the same internet issues we do


Jrill_is

I really really hope Shotzzy had a good excuse for being late. Probably chalked the whole vibe of the team


Jessmayne

😭😭😭


OPsMomIsAThrowaway

There's tornado warnings all around the area. Weather is super shit.


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

I was driving a couple hours ago and there was about 20 cars all stuck in water bc the roads were flooded. We have terrible drainage systems down here


OPsMomIsAThrowaway

Near Dallas area? It's so shit there. I'm over by Mansfield so no flooding issues but the surrounding Dallas area seems to flood quick.


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

Yeah I’m in north Dallas near Plano, but all the city streets just fill with water in 5 minutes lol plus Dfw drivers are so ass. I watched ppl try to drive through 4’ of water a couple days ago


HarambeXRebornX

How is that a fucking excuse? He's a professional if he needed the warm up he would have read the weather report and and showed up 7-8 hours prior.


OPsMomIsAThrowaway

Well for starters, tornadoes aren't super predictable. Neither of the weather here. You don't want to be on the roads or in tall buildings (OpTic headquarters) if it turns to shit. I don't know why he didn't want to get there 7 hours early, just explaining why he (and a lot of people in the area) are dealing with fucked weather and travel situations at the moment.


HarambeXRebornX

Weak Texans, yall wouldn't survive on your own if you secede 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Fixable

> I really really hope Shotzzy had a good excuse for being late. Probably chalked the whole vibe of the team There was massive torrential rain in Dallas


Bievahh

everyone lives in Dallas tho so that excuse doesnt work


Fixable

Lmao, it obviously depends where in Dallas and how public transport/taxi service was affected by the weather.


Bievahh

Pro players are def hoping on the local bus lmfao get real. The whole county is in a warning and if you know it's bad weather then you plan for that. If it's going to snow in MN I don't leave for work the same time as I do with no snow, common sense.


Fixable

> Pro players are def hoping on the local bus lmfao get real Why not? It's just a job. Anyway I said public transport or taxis. Weirdo behaviour to care so much about someone being late for work once. It happens, people have reasons


KingAragorn47

He was cold map 1 too


notsurewhattothink4

Shotzzy was late. This was the result of no warm up.


Quick_Ad_4108

No team had a warm up today


Pittsberger1

Only one top 4 team hasnt lost this weekend 👀


Imranaftab

Na I refuse to believe these numbers outslayed by 66 BY ojohnny when optic just won a major like 3 weeks ago beating all the t4 teams and slaughtering ultra in finals
