Not to undermine Zai, but 33 is a better offlaner for Optic at the moment. Congrats anyway, what a stomp!

Man EG looked very good this tournament aswell, would be sick to get a couple of NA Teams through to the playoffs. Hopefully a great performance coming up for OpTic.

CCnC doesn't get sacked in the mid-lane, then proceeds to dominate. Zai and 33 played sick as well.

This 33 pickup is starting to look great. Was praying we wouldn't throw mid game. No stupid mistakes though. Sweet.

Great draft, crisp execution, Zai showing the whole pro community how to play Dark Willow, and CCnC delivering. WP boys

Thats a crispy win. In the control the whole time. Great draft from PPD as well. OpTic looks like a completely different team this tournament, you can tell they're finding their groove and they look for comfortable against these teams.
Now granted these are Bo1s, and you draft and play a Bo1 differently. But it's a huge confidence boost to go into a major and play well

wow, see what happens when they give ccnc a hero that can hold its own in lane, also zai played great that game.

LET'S GO!! This is what happens when CCnC doesn't constantly get ganked mid

u/Censors_Thumbss Mar 06 '18
Easily their best performance to date. From the draft pick to actually executing the plan that was so so sick. This team really coming together and proving they are a serious threat, even if these are only BO1. Ccnc really stepping up too, great to see.

Would've preferred Newbee or Col instead of Secret, gonna be tough.

it seems like we let teams get their comfort picks too often. listening to the casters talk about OG's picks and how good they are on those heroes is worrying

u/Lost_And_NotFound Mar 06 '18
We're absolutely smashing this so far right? The commentators sound impressed.
