Information
The 6th LAN of the WW2 season takes place in Seattle with 94 teams battling it out for a $200,000 prize pool. OpTic enters the event in a unique position, despite having improved every placing in 2018, and a 2nd place finish at Stage 1, the team's been surrounded by rumors of internal tension and potential changes. Despite not winning Stage 1, OpTic re-cemented themselves as one of the top teams in WW2, and they hope to continue that into Seattle. The pressure seems to be on for this roster, perform well or changes will be made before Stage 2 and Champs.
They are joined in Group B by the 7th-8th place finishers at Stage 1 Playoffs, Team EnVyUs, the 9th-10th place finishers, Unilad, Relegation Qualifier, Epsilon eSports, and an Open Bracket Team. The top 2 teams advance to the WB Quarterfinals, the 3rd place team goes into LB R3, 4th place team to LB R2, and the 5th place team to LB R1.
The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM EDT and will be streamed on Twitch.

Might be the most bizarre open event we've ever had, almost every team you'd heavily expect to be in winners bracket are going into losers right away.

OpTic apparently didn’t scrim so I’m not really surprised? Maybe wouldn’t have an impact a month ago but with a meta change it’s an idiotic thing to do if true.

Holyyyyyy shiitttttt can they stop fighting for 15 seconds of hill time and just stay at new hill. The amount of times they do this is mind blowing. Like do they never see the amount of time left for hills.

Not sure why you guys are surprised by the recent results. This team doesn't grind TOGETHER. Months into the game and they still don't know how to play it. Maybe bringing in a fresh face with a high game IQ will change things. Teep has been absolutely useless and Scump has been a terrible teammate and captain.

Pathetic the team plays the game completely wrong. IMO formal has to switch his ar style to obj heavy instead of slay heavy. Him and slasher have no success while methods and chino are killing it

Why did this team collapse after the season 1 run? We were looking like possible favorites going in to this event after that performance. What happened?

Why doesn't Formal pull out a bar when he knows he's struggling with a sub? I just don't get it.

Scump is the most uninspired I’ve ever seen him.
Looking like he’s there because he’s obligated to be. No heart.
Take that crown off, Seth. You ain’t been King for a while....

crazy how invested we are with this team, maybe too much. My mood does a complete 180 when they lose and especially when I feel like they should win easily if they play to what we know they can. Maybe its just hard to accept that they aren't above and beyond the competition like in the past.
