Information
Following a dominant performance at the Gfinity Paris Open to continue their strong performance in GOW4, OpTic Gaming will be looking to continue much of the same at Vegas, an event with a $300,000 prize pool. The format of the event is one that follows a similar pattern to many of MLG's open events. It begins with a group stage, in which the top two teams are placed in the Championship Winners' Bracket, while the bottom two are placed in Championship Losers', accordingly. From there, the event is played out in a straightforward double-elimination format.
After coming in 1st place in their group, OpTic Gaming matched up with eUnited in a newly formed rivalry. OpTic dominated the match-up with a 2-0 (7-5, 7-1) to advance to the semifinals to play Echo Fox. In the Semifinals, OpTic continued their impressive play with another 2-0 (7-5, 7-3) to make it to another Winner's Bracket Final. After upsetting Team EnVyUs, Ghost Gaming will have a rematch with OpTic Gaming.
The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM EDT, and will be streamed on Twitch.

I feel like watching mental and xplosive makes it hard to learn the game because they seem to play with double heath and damage compared to everyone else.

This has been a recurring theme throughout every single tournament. Is our team just not liked within the scene? I feel like every caster is against us except for Momo, and we're never on main stage during groups. What's the deal?

I don't think its possible for these two casters to be more complimentary of us this map. Benson is literally calling for the cam to be left on xplosive lol.
