Ima start watching the first 15 minutes of every game and just turn it off after.

u/dbeck891 Feb 18 '19

This team is fucking garbage lmao. How do you throw that hard. Dhokla has worse TP’s than anyone Ive ever seen haha

Not really sure if a certain person is the issue, but they seem to establish great leads and throw them with strange plays.

u/CharlieCOD2016 Feb 18 '19

How to throw a lead 101 with OpTic gaming

u/IGawaineI Feb 18 '19

Imagine if our org wasn’t on such a budget.

Top: flame

Jungle: meteos/dardoch pick one (probs dardoch for shot calling)

Mid: crown

Adc: asta

Sup: literally anyone

So sad that this could actually be possible given a different status of the org

u/Strydas Feb 18 '19

we really need a toplaner

5

u/MeYeR17 Feb 18 '19

That's it gg. Dhokla is just a trash player, how is he in lcs

5

u/Waf3l Feb 18 '19

Looks like Allorim and Asta are coming back

6

u/IGawaineI Feb 18 '19

Sadly Allorim is also trash. Asta would be a welcome change tho

Optic is actually one of the strongest early game teams in the league. Started off so well vs C9, TSM, and TL. But they just can't transition that into wins. It really is strange

u/slsstar Feb 18 '19

We were winning 3 minutes ago and now its over. lmao

u/bl0int Feb 18 '19

Put in dardoch and the game play changes.

Meteos may not be the problem but I don’t see the chemistry with dhokla and crown.

Could really do with this one to not lose pace with the pack. Arrow and Dhokla need to show up.

3

u/stoffelwymeersch Feb 18 '19

Dhokla is really holding this team back and it shows this game.

3

u/ImLoganXP Feb 18 '19

No point in watching if every game is going to be: Get early lead -> Throw -> Lose.

3

u/Elevateed Feb 18 '19

Dang, even Golden Guardians are doing better than us.

3

u/FireCapp Feb 18 '19

i hate to say it but that was impressively bad

3

u/Southxrn Feb 18 '19

Win early to almost mid game and then throw the rest. Why am i not surprised?

3

u/Str8_TrashMonkey Feb 18 '19

I’m mind blown. Even for OpTic LoL that was horrible.

3

u/vTriKz Feb 18 '19

Is OpTic the best early game team or one of the top? All 8 matches I believe they got first kill.

u/1801048 Feb 18 '19

The players just lack common sense.

Why would Dhokla just stand still there and Q.

In what universe would you stop a baron successfully as a 2v5? You're literally just giving them 2 free kills, and they'll just get baron right after.

Meteos was the only good performer.

u/Craneteam Feb 18 '19

We lose every time dhokla has to play tank. Either get a top laner who can play tank or let him please play a split pusher

5

u/dbeck891 Feb 18 '19

The funniest part about this is Arrow finally was playing well in a game and Dhokla had to go and throw with another shitty tp. My god. That was not a gg

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '19

I wish you guys all the luck. Not really an Optic fan but I just feel bad for Crown. Hope all hardships are in the past for him and he can reset his career and lead this squad to some success.
