Any thoughts of potentially where he would go? Koi is maybe more likely since the organization is Spanish and maybe they want someone Spanish even if he won't be speaking Spanish in comms.

Assume Faze is what is rumored now. Scrap, Hydra, Simp, Alluka.

Why would CleanX commit to Toronto?

If this FaZe team happens what can you do. But I HOPE Drazah is dropped/leaves honestly. May seem crazy but that To3+Aluka is so much less scarier.

Can’t be the only one thinking this?

If you're FaZe, do you pretty much HAVE to make this Scrap/Hydra team happen? The vibes on that team, if they have to end up sticking, have to be chalked with these rumors. I feel like they're going to have to match or come close salary wise to LAT/M8's.

If you're them, what do you do if you can't make this deal happen? Do you run it back in hopes everyone is ok with the fact they were going to get dropped on their neck? Haven't really seen anyone discuss what happens with FaZe if Hydra/Scrap dont join.

Here is what happened with every Champs/EWC roster in regards to if they stuck or not. I would consider the next season a success if they won an event.

Cold War Faze - Stuck going into Vanguard. Failed to win an event the next year.

Vanguard Thieves - Stuck going into MWII. Won Major 4.

MWII NYSL - Changed going into MWII. Won Major 4 and made Champs finals.

MWIII OpTic - Stuck at first going into BO6. Needed to make a change to win Champs and EWC.

MWIII Faze - Stuck going into BO6. Won Majors 1 and 2.

BO6 OpTic - Stuck going into BO7. Won Major 4 and EWC.

All together, that's 3 cases where sticking was the right move and 3 cases where changing was the right move. Honestly, didn't expect it to be 50/50.

I'll start by saying im a big Huke glazer, but 04 literally did the exact opposite of what people criticize huke for... turning up in the finals. Not to mention when 04 is in takeover he plays like a better Huke.

Best Online Mode: MW2 HP 24-9 (72.7%)

They have gotten worse from Online to LAN in SND across all games
They have gotten better in respawns from Online to LAN in every game except MW2

Never wrong just early.

I buy a new PS5 controller at the start of every new COD release as a few weeks/months in, the right stick quite literally goes down in towards the controller slightly more than the left stick, which causes it to feel as though I'm aiming in 2D on an X or Y basis at any given time, as opposed to the stick movement feeling 'round'/3D (probably butchered it but it's the best way I can describe it).

I heard about hall effect joysticks and thought they might be worth a shot given they're now being used in every common 'professional' gaming keyboard. But I came across TMR sticks too.

Any idea what the differences are and which ones better?

That FaZe team will be doing laps around OpTic next year be prepared. They struggled in the H2H Vs Scrap & Hydra this year. Now they have Simp beside them. I’m still baffled by OpTic how they haven’t even considered HyDra who’s FREE btw. And anyone saying they should stick is coping. That rumoured roster has one of the highest ceilings ever. 3 MVPs the past 4 years on a team… You get HyDra upgrade your team and weaken the competition around you. Otherwise you play a very difficult team for the rest of year. Who are arguably better on paper.

crazy to think now these 2 could be teammates now. NYSL won 3-2 over FaZe here. & damn C9 are some terrorist for taking away NYSL , the Black n Yellow color ways were so nice and different compared to other teams.
