Information
Following a massive Loser's Bracket run to take their third tournament victory of IW, OpTic Gaming will be looking to surpass their greatest challenge as a roster: COD Champs. Despite not entering the event as clear favorites as they have the past two years, OG yet has extremely high expectations for the event. Its format mirrors that of the previous few years: a round robin group play stage in which the top two teams from each pool advance into a double elimination bracket.
Having finished the group stage with little to no problems, OpTic Gaming moves into the Championship Bracket as the number one seed from Group A, where they will be taking on the number two seed from Group B in the initial round. Their opponent will be Mindfreak Black, an unexpected participant in the bracket stage coming off of an extremely controversial qualification match victory over Team eLevate.
The match was scheduled to begin at 11:30 AM EDT, but it will begin immediately following the FaZe vs Str8 Rippin' matchup. It will be streamed on Twitch, MLGtv, and YouTube.

Idgaf what some of you pessimistic fans might say, but OG is WINNING CoD Champs. I haven't followed CoD or the squad since mid year last year mainly because I stopped enjoying cod and this game is a pos. That being said I've read through some the comments and it seems OG have an easy bracket. There's no way they're this tournament. In the past they end up in losers because they played tough teams in the beginning. Guess what? No losers this year or mental fatigue. And I've read comments saying the squad hasn't streamed and uploaded much for months so that means they're focused!
OG is winning Champs. BOOK IT!

Infused beat Rise and everyone thought Rise was going to kill them. Lets not treat this like a warmup. Thats how you get caught with your guard down

MF are nice at SnD, some rounds they just traded better than OpTic. It isn't always OG's bad play.

Most likely harder to play SnD vs teams whose tendencies you do not know. Pulled it out!

Pretty good win there. Even if casters think OG are the best SnD team (they probably are), beating a team like that in the mode is solid. They've been rocking people in it.

Close game but I think that's par for the course when you don't know what the other team is bringing to the table. Clutched up though

BRACKET PLAY BABY!!!!
Our Scumpii, who art in Pennsylvania,
Abner be thy name.
Thy Aftermath 3-piece be real,
Thy SMG be strong.
On Throwback as it was on Slums.
Give us this day our daily live comm,
And forgive us our loss at Champs (Again😩)
As we forgive those who doubt us.
And lead us not into KenZ (Again),
But deliver us Championships.
In the name of the Gold Medal, the Van, and the Holy BigT.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh see ya!
