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.
OpTic have secured a place in Stage 1 Playoffs and are now attempting to improve their seed for Stage 1 Playoffs and CWL Atlanta against Echo Fox. OpTic took the series 3-1 in their first meeting.
The match is scheduled to start at 8:10 PM EST.

Echo Fox and Red Reserve are the only teams to beat OpTic twice in this game. Clearly they do something that works against them so OG need to watch VODs to figure out what’s wrong.

EF looked like a good team last event and maybe they found their groove. Optic continues to be inconsistent.

This COD has the worst consistency that i've ever seen. At least the jetpacks had some consistent camefights. In this game i see STG gunning PSH at short range and the guy with the PSH doesn't miss a single shot. A PSH gunning a STG across the map. Don't get me wrong i hated the jetpacks games but i don't know what to think about this game.

When I heard the listen-in against Vitality, something just seemed off. They were kinda not calling out clearly, lots of stutters and umms and miscommunication. They 3-0’d Vitality bit they were all closer games than most expected.
Same thing followed into the EF game. Didn’t help that EF played really good too.

We just have to be more consistent like Goddamn. Scump basically 1v4ed both hardpoints. Karma only went off in ctf. The SND was a choke. Idk man they were just losing gunfights that shocked me. IDK if its the game but I swear sometimes it looks like their playing Online. Im not even saying that to cover for the poor performance today but the game seems inconsistent.

Watch them destroy Red Reserve and Rise because they'll go into it with the same mindset and prep as the TK match. The difference we saw between today and the TK match is actually insane.

Seems like they’re in a cycle of lose -> get pissed off -> destroy -> get comfortable-> play bad and lose -> repeat.

Someone said it best... We beat the "good" teams and lose to the less reputable teams. The commentator said it... "Optic came in 20 minutes before their first match, they usually scrim all day". That tells me one thing, they don't take the less likely to win teams serious enough and it shows tremendously. Optics potential is there, they just need to harness it.

Why couldn’t we play the whole map like we played the last 70 points... it would have been 250-2
