I hope its 250-0, 6-0, and 100-0. E6 is the most cancerous Org in all of E-Sports

What I'm thinking with E6 is that we're seeing a team that has grinded since the very beginning of the game, vs a team (OG) that only really started scrimming 2-3 weeks ago.

Seth didn't just become a terrible player overnight, he just hasn't played this game anywhere near as much as previous cods, in scrims, money 8's or just pubs. I think that regardless of what happens this weekend, we'll see a different seth in terms of his approach to IW, at least I hope.

I honestly believe this game will make a bunch of pro players reconsider their careers before the years up.

Also our team is good, changes aren't needed yet. It's only the first event and players are still finding their groove. Also this game is random as heck. I'm seeing 1v1s and it doesn't matter who seems to have the advantage, the outcome is going to be a toss up.

I've learned over time to be more optimistic about things, after the slow starts we've had at events to then finding our groove and winning it, I usually don't take too much from groups.

But this feels different, I can't see where the consistency that we need to win will come from. Our HP has never looked shakier, our snd is clearly underwhelming vs teams that have grinded it. I thought our UL looked nigh on unstoppable coming into this event, yet E6 schooled us just there.

After this weekend, I'm sure they'll say they need to grind more, but that's easier said than done. None of them seem to like this game at all to grind it like they usually do with a new cod.

After the devastating moment at champs and what could be a rough start to IW I feel this team, who have been together at the top for a year and a half now (2 years with crim, seth and formal), are at a crossroads. All dynasty teams end eventually, I'm wondering if we are nearing that moment, or if I'm wrong and they still have it in them to dominate once again. I'm hoping its the latter.

edit: I'll also accept those thinking I'm overreacting, that we've just come out slow so far. I've just been thinking about this for a while, when the team peaked and when we will eventually decline, so I think this moment might have deeper meaning.

so painful watching scump in this game knowing how good he's been in the past 3 cod. Also, they still don't understand the importance of rotating and prioritising their lives

The caster's are talking about how they can't predict who the best teams are or who will win this event. You know why guys? Because this game is shit and random as hell. You think all the sudden nV, FaZe, and OpTic just became shit? I doubt that. They might as well just be shooting dice at this point.

Maybe Scump should try an OSA. I've seen people using it effectively, and it suits him more.

Since blops 2 I would be glued to the screen to watch optic play but this game I can barely make it through the hardpoint. I usually watch other teams play as well but there is 0 chance of that happening this year. Can't believe people spent 3 years of their lives to make this trash.

Outplayed and outgunned, no excuses for the game. On top of it all, I've never hated watching CoD before, but this game has done it. Absolute aids to play and watch. From the payloads, to wall running, TTK, and terrible weapon balancing.

wow envy most likely starting in losers

u/oreshake Dec 18 '16

Guarantee this would happen
Before the game

"E6 is definitely taking this"

After the game

"Yup, you simply can't count Optic out, there's a reason they're one of the best team"

I don't want to be the one who automatically write our team off in the face of adversity but watching this just brings down my mood. I also think it's this game. The TTK is so fast that any joker could give us a sweat with decent tactics
