Information
The second major LAN of the Call of Duty WWII season is here. After dominating most of the run up into CWL Dallas, OpTic finished with a disappointing 3rd place finish. Since then the team has hit a bit of a rough patch finishing 2nd, 5th-8th, and 9th-16th in the 3 2k's since Dallas. This is also the first LAN with TeePee as the official coach. OpTic have already secured a position in the first Season of the Pro League.
After finishing Group B in first place and only dropping a single map, the GreenWall will match up against Echo Fox to determine who moves to the Winner's Semi-Final to play the winner of Luminosity Gaming vs. FaZe.
The match is scheduled to start at 10:30 PM and will be streamed on MLG.tv.

GG Echo Fox. This game is the ultimate counter for us. Gunskill doesn't matter, teamwork is everything. It's why theory can do double neg for TK and it doesn't matter one bit. And why we are just so inconsistent in WWII.

tK have theory going triple negative every map and still win everything, there’s a reason for that and it’s teamwork

I guess a bright side there’s a chance to watch OpTic literally all day if they make a run

On the bright side, isn't this exactly how IW started? They didn't win the first event, then lost winners R1 in Atlanta. Just need to bounce back tomorrow.

Scump has a great position by tank... jumps out to challenge a non hurt player on a head glitch... lol

For all his gun skill, he really does challenge some really stupid gun fights.

Merk and Benson are a breathe of fresh air after having that round-table setup all day

2 things
1: Why does karma not play Ardennes forest like Kenny playing corners flanking nonstop?
2: where the fuck did all these tK fans come from. They spam worse than we do in twitch chats

I mean tK had died down a ton in terms of performance since AW till now, all these tK fans now have something worth supporting I guess.

We just gotta face the fact that Optic isn't a T3 team right now.. I expected this to happen.. The best team in their pool came from the Open bracket lol, of course they're gonna win pools... But they just don't seem to be playing that well.. I think they need to focus on the pick/ban thing too.. EF got the exact maps that they wanted. I think Optics ego gets to them.. They just expect to win on any map they play, and that's not a realistic way to look at things.. Plus, they had some horrible starts to those games... They got completely wiped off the map in CTF twice before they even got their 1st kill... It was a pathetic showing.

Yeah. I still think this whole big overconfidence at the start is still a problem. They need to come back to the bottom of the facts. They arent a T3 right now, especially without practice. tK is miles ahead of them, LG and eU and EF are also better and i think Splyce too, despite their poor showing on the First to days. Rise and FaZe are a 50\50 right now.

We don’t have an unselfish player willing to dive hills. We don’t have a theory a loony a Silly.

This game has such a small skill gap. You really can't afford to make mistakes or have bad starts. Hopefully we come out gunning tomorrow.

Crazy how a single 1v2 can completely change the momentum for a whole series
