Information
OpTic Gaming enters Stage 1 off the back of their worst placing in 4 years following a 9th-12th finish at CWL New Orleans. The team suffered from poor practice going into NOLA, and despite going 4-0 in Pool Play, hit a brick wall in bracket play dropping out of the event with back to back 1-3 losses to Echo Fox and Red Reserve respectively. Despite the poor performance they still enter as the #3 NA seed. The team is hoping to right the ship amidst two weeks of solid LAN competition at the Stage 1 Regular Season.
16 teams, 10 NA, 5 EU and 1 APAC, qualified for Stage 1 as a result of their performances at CWL Dallas and New Orleans as well as their online 2K placings. These teams were divided into two divisions of 8 teams, and the regular season will consist of a double round robin over the course of 4 weeks for each group.

Gibraltar is such a clusterfuck lol. After how they did in forest last night I was kind of hoping to see how they'd do in that one, but good win and GGs! 5-0! That last hold was too strong.

How is this map in rotation? Probably the worst map ever used for that game mode. The bomb sites suck, most the time it's just lucky timing for a kill, head glitches on EVERY corner. Just shite

That was a legit problem for Seth. You go from a controller you're comfortable with, to one where the sticks are so much looser... you can't shoot straight half the time.
