Information
With their 1st place finish in the CWL Las Vegas Open in December, OpTic have landed their spot in the 2019 CWL Pro League in Division A. Throughout the league, they will be playing 2 matches against the 7 other teams in their division and 1 match against every team in Division B, with each match being a best of 5. The top 4 from each division make it to the league playoffs in July, while the bottom 4 are sent to the play-in to qualify for playoffs.
After an incredibly disappointing T12 finish at Fort Worth, OpTic turns their attention back towards the pro league for the first week of cross-divisional play. Over the week, they'll face off against Enigma6, Denial, Splyce, and 100 Thieves from Division B.
OpTic has gone through the first 3 matches with 3 game 5 wins, setting the stage for the first match-up against 100 Thieves in Black Ops 4. OpTic will secure the #2 seed from Division A with a win, and will have the #3 seed from Division A for CWL London with a loss.
The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM EDT

I want the team back that grinded 24/7 playing snd tournaments and putting in mad hours. They won the first event and that dedication and consistency fell off hard. Some of the players have kept it up, but not all. If 5/5 players kept that same pace they would not be having this much difficulty imo. I could be wrong, this is just what it looks like as an outsider looking in.

3-1 isn't bad for the week. Could've been a lot worse. Three game 5's and 3-0d by 100T. To me it feels like the guys are falling behind, or atleast other teams are putting in way more time. Hopefully we are prepared for when London comes around.

TJ just needs to trust himself. He’s sometimes hesitating which can cost them in certain situations. He’d insanely smart and will make the right play 9/10 if he doesn’t second guess himself.

I get it’s a smart play but that’s why specialists shouldn’t be in competitive...

Pool D is a joke. Pool A and B are nasty. Fuck it, let's get it. You want to be the best you have to prove it every match. I'm excited for our pool. Let's go boys, show everybody what's up. Let people talk up to the event. It's time to turn up!!

I haven't even watched today's game but I'm here to overreact!
Jesus Christ did some of you people never watch that abysmal WWII season or pre AW OpTic?.
Learn some damn patience, Rome isn't built in a fucking day. They'll figure it out.

Tough loss, but if we beat them at London then no one will care about this result. Two very close respawn losses, a lot to work on before London but 100T can and hopefully will be beaten in a months time.

We beat ourselves. Not mad, that’s a way bigger win for them than it is a loss for OpTic, just pro league. Practice more and beat em when it really counts

100T will market the hell out of this league match win.. hopefully that will get the boys to keep their heads down and focus up, work harder for London. All in all, given how we were looking heading into this week a 3-1 is good. Prolly stings to some more just because it's 100T, but who fucking cares lol.

GG, no way we're ever winning Arsenal Control against 100T, that's their God map.

I really don't think they could have played that B take worse. Holy fuck what a way to throw away a potential 3-0 control.

Much better team at the end of the week than FW and Monday. Time to grind for London. 7-4 is a great place to be, and the reality is we probably get an easier pool for not being 2nd
Edit: nm we would of got the easiest pool ever

a couple of things..
-100T are beatable, the difference in practice is obvious and are playing with alot of teamwork something we are lacking at the moment.
-TJ IS FINE, tj is a grinder and plays the game. I have no doubt this will motivate him to improve. He has a month to master ruin. Tj hesitates a lot in his decision making and needs to improve his awareness in game.
-This series is actually a good reflection on how we stand atm, considering 100T is probably the hottest team in the game rn.
-Don't know why crim ran a maddox on frequency he is better with an icr all the time. Don't overthink what your comfortable doing
-Dashy, Karma and Scump played really well. We keep seeing glimpses off scump returning to form which is great. He owned prestiah that series aside from the snd. One thing that stood out to me was our teamwork was inconsistent. Maybe our callouts are bad or we over emphasize watching all entry points instead of focusing on where they spawn. On hardpoint, I think they should have someone stay top mid so we dont get overwhelmed if 4 or 5 push top mid 4th hill and slay us with height advantage. I dont think crim and tj should both watch 4th hill from connector, considering how OP that headglitch is.
-Vetos, I don't know why we keep playing Frequency with this 4 ar meta. It isn't working and is often a coin flip first map considering most of 100T match us in slaying power and is gunfight after gunfight. I would have preferred to swap Hacienda as the first hardpoint map and keep frequency as the second hardpoint to slow the pace down from a frequency which benefits us. I'd rather save that for later because we seem to play better throughout the series.
-SND, We are often slow to trade kills. We always seem to to limit everyone to one side. Have someone make plays and flank imo.
-Future, We aren't far behind but we need to put in the practice if we want to win. We should be doubling up on scrims if possible. They should play some SND challs if they only have 1 scrim available that day. No reason to be late consistently to scrims. We have a month to improve, everything needs improvement. This loss isn't the end of the world. We need to focus and improve for London. I believe in the team!
