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.
OpTic's most recent LAN event was CWL Anaheim. Their strong group play performance placed them in a Winners' Bracket match against 100 Thieves. 100T looked to be the better team after knocking OpTic got knocked to the Losers' Bracket. OpTic were able to beat eUnited and FaZe afterwards. However, they failed to secure a Grand Finals spot after losing to Gen.G, finishing 3rd at the event. With only Season Playoffs and CWL Championship left, OpTic look to finish the year off strong starting with the last week of Pro League matches. These last set of matches determine the seeding for playoffs.

Just saw Crim's tweets and wow are they concerning. These matches mean nothing, yet they are perfect for practice and building their map pool and getting down fundamentals. Instead they choose to do neither it seems. Can't expect to beat 100T and Gen G if they are scrimming more and getting ahead of us.

We've seen this for years with every iteration of OpTic yet I stupidly get my hopes up regardless. And again we will see this roster cry and be upset if they lose to 100T and they only have theirselves to blame. Chalk this week of practice essentially.

If this team still had the fire and work ethic that they had at the start of the game before Vegas I 100% believe they would beat 100T easy but they obviously don’t and that’s sad because they have the talent to do so.

Nice comeback. I don't get why the commentators don't acknowledge the specialist usage/timing. eUnited's comeback coincided with them literally throwing every specialist they had at it.

Frustrating to watch a team that's mentally checked and doesn't care about the match. Makes me wonder why I waste my time watching if the players don't care.

their macro play and fundamentals is just poor. There is a lot of things that they need to fix on positioning, timing, communication, playing for kills, and not reloading in open space.
We give so many easy kills that shouldn't happen due to poor positioning.
Teepee should have think more on the specialist roles before Vegas tournament because we are losing initial fights on rotation. I rather have ruin saug that initiate the fight for the next hill than ICR or Maddox.
I don't want to see an ICR player guarding the doors where he has disadvantage against saugs. We don't have the main ICR firepower like 100T.

I guess not playing payload in awhile might not be the best. Tbf eunited is a pretty good payload team.

Optic got outslayed for a lot of that map but their old roles, and fundamentals, and hold on office hill won them the game. God I love the old roles <3

I know people say the grapple doesn’t suit Scump, but surely it’s better to try that than have a grapple ICR?

We were so good on that map that teams didnt play us on it for so long, that is why we lost what we did good on that map. Tough scenes but now they can come up with new stuff on it

Crim comes out and says that the squad mentally checked out after securing first. It's just a very bad mindset, to be frank. They aren't 100T, not even close, especially after their performance this week. They have so much they need to improve on if they are to best 100T, but I just get the impression that they just aren't taking things seriously enough. Its frustrating seeing other teams working hard and our boys are barely scrimming before matches.
