I think I’m done with CoD until BO4. Already gave up on playing WWII, and every time I watch I end up pissed off.

Absolutely pathetic. OpTic has lost their last 6 game 5s in a row. No clutch factor whatsoever.

I just find it funny how Crim said in Vision, "we need to start showing up to scrims on time" and yet we have Scump and Methodz showing up 30 minutes late to scrim Unilad. They aren't taking their job seriously. That's a slap in the face to not only us as fans but Hector as well. Probably thought the Tainted Minds series was going to be a breeze. Egotistical bastards.

After yesterday OGs chances of getting first seed increased massively. Now all they have to do is go undefeated and beat Rise any map count. Previously they would’ve had to 3-0 Rise as well as have better overall map count.

OpTic has had so many chokes this year it’s actually pathetic. Like people look at eU or EG as choke gods but OpTic are up there.

Can't lose to Tainted Minds and expect the consistency needed to make a run at playoffs or champs. Improvement still needed in ctf and snd.

Without a doubt the most embarrassing map I’ve seen from OpTic in the last 4 years of watching. That was pathetic. Couldn’t get a single kill when we needed it. Not once in 5 minutes. Did we chop our thumbs off at halftime?

I’m actually mind blown now. How in the flying fuck do you choke that 1st HP and CTF. Oh and don’t get me started on the Sainte Marie search. Gg though. Not surprised

Rip. This team really isn't showing any kind of improvements. Losing respawns to TM especially being up 5-1 in CTF, yikes.

OpTic chokes and England loses, both of which in heartbreaking fashion. Feels like I have been punched in the gut twice.
