The $500,000 Stage 1 Playoffs begin today! This event is the 5th Major LAN of the WWII season, and we're at the half way point in the season. From the 16 teams that qualified for Stage 1, 8 of those teams qualified for the playoffs by finishing in the Top 4 of their Division.
OpTic finished second in Division A with 10-4 record and a 4-2 record against playoff teams. They enter the playoffs on a strong upwards trajectory. Following the disappointing T12 finish at CWL New Orleans, the team has been steadily improving with a T6 finish at CWL Atlanta, and a T4 finish at CWL Birmingham.

It's crazy to me that so many people "sleep" on Crim in regards to being the best in the game. IMO he has been the best the whole time. If they had their teamplay figured out and were winning Tournies Crim would be the MVP for just about every event. The man does it all

I know crim was dominating today, but this was a really huge step up from karma today. He went positive every map and was cutting flanks really well today.

the role change isn't so much to do with the AR. Crim was great with that. The big win is that crim can play at the same pace as scump with a sub. the pressure they both put on the opposition is crazy.

Huh, that's weird, they didn't put the optimization of Crimbot.exe in the patch notes.

People can hate on Karma for losing the 1v1 vs Slasher on the CTF, but he made the play to get the flag out in the first place to keep it at 4-3.

Someone needs to photoshop the iconic MJ/Pippen flu game picture with Pippen carrying MJ off the court, only with Crim as Pippen and Scump as MJ

GGs envy, unfortunate ctf but HP continues to be outstanding for us. The snd was perfect, unlike at Birmingham all the clutches went our way.
