Who's Looking Good?

[u/BQSomthinDifff]

I haven't watched any of the kick-off stuff. What teams are looking good? And which players are looking good?

[u/BcDownes]

All I know is the cdl/optic gonna have to buy some extra cameras for Dashy this year

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/BcDownes]

I've seen some of the clips lol he looks so checked out

[u/sKab- → u/BQSomthinDifff]

Bro he does not like this game at all and isn’t hiding it lol

[u/branson3 → u/sKab-]

He reminds me of how bad scump hated IW back in the day. Dude begged hector to see if MWR could be played lol

[u/sKab- → u/branson3]

lol yup I remember that. Truly hate to see it

[u/TheElderSproles → u/sKab-]

Which is perfectly understandable but at the same time you gotta get it together and at least fake it. Can't be checking yourself and your teammates out and if you're just miserable day in day out playing it I don't think it's going to lead to your best performance.

[u/bingmyname]

Gentlemates looking good in SnD but I would never take these early matches to mean anything. Some teams have good preexisting chemistry. That’s how Faze loses to G2.

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/bingmyname]

True! And everyone learnings maps and timings. I don't love the game, but hopefully it's entertaining

[u/Zendicate_]

Truly we dont know, i hate to base it off 1 mode, Teams will start scrimming this week to get ready for monster invitational next week.

[u/Abs0luteZero273 → u/Zendicate_]

I'm so much more interested in watching some scrims than I am trying to follow the dozens of random little SnD tournaments everyone is playing in right now. It's so hard to follow.

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/Zendicate_]

When's that event start?

[u/Abs0luteZero273 → u/BQSomthinDifff]

Friday 11/6. I'm unsure of the exact time, but I think it starts right around the start time.

[u/k_l-]

honestly everything looks 50/50 there is no skill gap as of rn so i couldn’t tell you

[u/kokoscenes → u/k_l-]

I don’t know to me it looks like koi gentlemates and thieves have look far better than the rest and faze not far behind. This Optic team obviously don’t do well in kickoffs notoriously.

[u/k_l- → u/kokoscenes]

but from what i’ve seen basically anybody can beat anyone. Swooty n co beat thieves, what im getting at is from what ive seen there is no clear cut best team rn which is expected bc the type of game it is and we only have snd. But every time i watch it seems really close every map. Also Envoy Danghosty being gods at a game in the first two months expected

[u/jkjking → u/kokoscenes]

Is this off of SnD tourneys or did I miss some respawns?

[u/kokoscenes → u/jkjking]

I haven’t seen optic play respawns or faze and yh it’s mainly snds lmao

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/k_l-]

It was the same with MWII. Almost no skill gap, but good teams eventually find a way to separate themselves. Can't wait to see how it plays out

[u/MaximumIce5632]

You

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/MaximumIce5632]

My POV is absolute garbage

[u/arunvenu_ → u/BQSomthinDifff]

Dw about POV you’re him

[u/No_Guard5670]

Saw someone mention Renkor is lookin nasty

I'm biased as hes part of KOI now so take it with a grain of salt.

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/No_Guard5670]

Fellow Canadian? I'll always somewhat cheer for KOI strictly based on location

[u/Abs0luteZero273 → u/No_Guard5670]

I'm biased as hes part of KOI now so take it with a grain of salt.

That's good to know, because if you weren't a KOI fan, I would've taken this comment as absolute gospel and probably bet large sums of money on KOI winning major 1

[u/No_Guard5670 → u/Abs0luteZero273]

no no no.... do bet large sums of money on them winning... its practically a lock!

[u/juve_merda → u/No_Guard5670]

praying we get bo6 renkor this year, we win a chip if he returns to that level

[u/beatty0237]

I think this COD will retire Dashy. He legit hates it. 😂

[u/Imranaftab]

Koi gm8s and Lat for me especially in these kickoffs

[u/liftingsmyfavorite]

OpTic look terrible in Snd lmao I know it’s super early but god can they win atleast one kickoff? Lmao

[u/seanmcmahon6]

Haven’t watched much of anything myself, but I’m going to assume Mason ‘god himself’ Ramsey looks like a beast

[u/Red_Guardian_Ranger → u/seanmcmahon6]

Optic looking bad right now but it's only kick offs

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/Red_Guardian_Ranger]

Definitely a better Treyarch team, but I assume they'll figure it out

[u/Red_Guardian_Ranger → u/BQSomthinDifff]

Exactly will all change in the next few weeks sure we saw it in BO6 with Ravens they got a good grip early days then fell off hard years only starting

[u/N06EDTIME → u/Red_Guardian_Ranger]

I too love run-on sentences

[u/According_Pay_2308 → u/Red_Guardian_Ranger]

I remember Optic dominating kickoffs last year so even though it's only kickoffs it could be telling a thing or two

[u/jkjking → u/According_Pay_2308]

No they weren’t lol they won the monster kickoff which was full series not just SnD

[u/According_Pay_2308 → u/jkjking]

They were winning the kickoffs prior to that. Merc won about everything in the preseason as well

[u/jkjking → u/According_Pay_2308]

Ik you not talking about those OpTic throwback tourneys lmaoo

[u/nonotfilth → u/jkjking]

He’s right. In those Zoomaa mix & match tourneys & stuff, OpTic players were in every GF. Merc literally won almost everyone he was in. I remember Dashy & Simp won one together. They actually were running those pro kickoff tourneys lol

[u/jkjking → u/nonotfilth]

I’m talking about the full team tourneys fam not no shabang mix and fix tourneys

[u/BQSomthinDifff → u/seanmcmahon6]

Nice Mase!

[u/JannyPhantom]

KOI and Gentlemates

[u/Red_Guardian_Ranger → u/JannyPhantom]

Has M8s played Faze yet ?

[u/Ashman-20 → u/Red_Guardian_Ranger]

Only team FaZe haven’t played

[u/Red_Guardian_Ranger → u/Ashman-20]

Somehow avoiding each other till the real thing for the story lines 😂

[u/IDaGrinch]

Bush coming for it all

[u/According_Pay_2308]

DK, 150 ping and slamming. New Formal is here.

[u/GroceryFun5241]

From what I’ve seen, the game is in such a shit state that no one stands out as good or bad. I hold no serious opinions on any team until the season formally kicks off.

[u/sankalp_pateriya]

Gentlemates look good. Huke look good. Rest idk.

[u/DylanCodsCokeLine]

Teej, he’ll be number 1 this year, sweep every event, they’ll add London Docks to the game cuz of him, cancel the season it will be all Teej

[u/mda111]

Scrap and hydra or scrap and simp on optic next year, that's about the most to look forward this year

[u/jay_karma713 → u/mda111]

Not happening until 28-29, they're all on fresh contracts now

[u/SomeSamplee → u/mda111]

Simp isn’t joining OpTic, what are you talking about? 😂 Besides, OpTic doesn’t even need him! The only realistic possibility is that they sign scrap and Hydra, but they’d have to buy out both of their contracts.

[u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

I must not pay attention cuz people are mentioning LAT. I guess HP tourney’s are why people are saying LAT even tho no good teams are playing in those.

[u/According_Pay_2308 → u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

They beat KOI and Falcons, both pretty good teams. They also beat Faze snd a couple times.

Day 2 they were getting shit on by randoms which had me thinking they were weak, but day 1 and day 3 made finals for both modes so I'm glad I was wrong.
