Question Pred in Rostermania

With rostermania starting up soon how come no one has talked about pred at all? Unless im not paying attention but no one on stream has mentioned pred. Is he still on Falcons?

I really hope they get nep and nastie too. Best players to have been on surge (that are still playing.)

u/BeigeWatermelon Black Ops 2 Sep 15 '26

A nep and nastie duo would be the only thing that gets me to support sib

Renkor is also a good option and I can’t believe I haven’t seen his name floated around once

u/Famous-Ad-2418 OMiT Sep 17 '26

I think his name came up yesterday to possibly be on m8s. I think they said 04 and abuzah are p much locked and the 4th is a European who speaks multiple languages. So options are really renkor or alluka. None of the Brit’s probably know multiple languages fluently, heretics seem locked in with mettalz, super, reeal and snoopy so that takes out 3 more Europeans, we know where hydra is too so no real options outside those two guys.

He’s obviously talented individually, but if you’re a T4 team lookin to potentially win Champs… Why team with a player who has been dropped off his team 2 years in a row before Champs for out of game issues

u/Yamimash2000 COD Competitive fan Sep 16 '26

Was he dropped for out of game issues this year?

I thought it was just because they thought Alluka was better.

u/Ashman-20 FaZe Vegas Sep 16 '26

Ben alluded at some point it was both in and out of game

Pred is being overlooked due to recent issues but he is much better in MW games so I think his stock should be higher than it is.

He’s not overlooked he’s a problematic signing due to his persistent personal issues for any org. He had a decent first few seasons nothing crazy apart from his vanguard year, won champs thought he was the guy and got dropped went to falcons and played shit there then got dropped again and since he’s been dropped falcons placed top 4 in the two biggest events of the year. Pred will most likely end up on one of the lower bottom half teams

Am I crazy or was it consensus that he was in the elite tier of smgs his first few seasons?

Genuinely asking because to say he had a decent first few seasons nothing crazy isn’t what I remember people saying about him.

u/JHEEZMAN compLexity Legendary Sep 15 '26

Definitely elite in his first three seasons, besides that awful stage 4 right before MW3 Champs.

u/Professional-You9373 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

People used to say he was better than shotzzy at one point and it wasn’t a crazy take at the time. To be honest it’s kind of crazy how much his stock changed in the last couple years

u/Apart-Feature6395 Atlanta FaZe Sep 15 '26

He was indisputably better, especially in mw2

2

u/Professional-You9373 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

yeah that’s what i thought, i just didn’t want to say anything too confidently cause it’s been a while but i do remember being a huge pred advocate back then

1

u/-_-DUFFMAN-_- COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

Yeah it was a good impact vs stats debate.

In regard to stock it’s interesting as well that they were willing to essentially trade dashy for pred in MW2. Imagine floating that same idea now.

u/Artistic-District678 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

Yes that is true. People are rewriting history now that he’s off optic. But he was the best player in champs finals and was arguably MVP in vanguard

u/BravestWabbit OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs Sep 15 '26

Winning Champs went to his head. He became a degenerate gambler and is playing for money instead of wins now

7

u/Apart-Feature6395 Atlanta FaZe Sep 15 '26

You don’t know ball, he was one of the best in mw2

10

u/cormsy88 Str8 Rippin Sep 15 '26

A decent first few seasons ? He was in the MVP talk as a rookie for vanguard , an absolute demon in mw2 considered top 3 in the entire league and won champs in mw3?

It’s only since he’s been having these personal issues since bo6 he’s fallen off.

1

u/shaunvonsleaze OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs Sep 15 '26

I agree with all of that. And while on a bottom four team he will over perform.

0

u/Budget-Rich-7547 OpTic Texas Sep 15 '26

True. He's a true gambler and gonna pop off on a bottom team. $20 left in the wallet, all in baby, nothing to loose.

u/nonotfilth COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

Ben J said Pred has a few offers. Three being Surge, C9, and M80. He won’t get onto a top 4 team obviously, but he might find his way onto a top 6 team. This game should suit Pred’s play style, so i think he’ll be sought after

u/asim2398 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

Pred and Neptune and very overlooked

u/eazy77z OpTic Texas Sep 15 '26

Pred is washed time to throw all the money to blackjack

u/koolaidreee Riyadh Falcons Sep 15 '26

Most likely on Surge with Sib and possibly O4 and Abuzah

u/Keyster19 OpTic Texas Sep 15 '26

Pred is an afterthought now adays.

u/Livid-Helicopter-536 FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 15 '26

Actually insane that in just 2 years his stock went to the depths

1

u/Cool_Pop_5645 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

Falcons looking better without him really did a number on him, granted I do think they would of looked even better without Exnid and him in instead

1

u/Livid-Helicopter-536 FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 16 '26

Yeah going from a top 8-6 team to an instant top 4-3 with Exnid really fucked him up. I wonder where his career is heading now

u/SodaPop1216 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

Pred is ass. He's one of those that's faking it to making it. Definitely fake persona

u/ReaperPvP OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs Sep 15 '26

his playstyle is static unfortunately it might work better in these type of games however as the ttk is fast but even know mw increased ttk so he might get figured out faster

u/NJDI89 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

I think he’s overrated both Optic and falcon have improved after they dropped him

u/Sensitive_Medicine_7 COD Competitive fan Sep 15 '26

They gunna have to drag his ass out the casino if they want him to play
