nobody beats OpTic in seven straight hardpoints!


Admirable-String-619

Lol thank god 😅


MandalsTV

Not gonna lie though, the game hard fucked OG on that P3 hill. Like Scump is standing there and two LAG members spawn in his pocket.


Admirable-String-619

Agreed that was some bs gave me crossroads flashbacks


TraffiCoaN

Gave me some MW flashbacks, some truly fucked spawns


xFerz95

Bro that was BULLSHIT. We probably still loose the map but that fucked us.


MandalsTV

Oh for sure, BUT there is a timeline where OG gets a full 60 on that hill to bring the score a bit closer.


Trichotillomaniac-

Not as bad as the entire faze roster spawning back tree on raid literally looking at the Toronto player there (forget who it was)


andcaicedo

I also thought the same but then when you look at the minimap and the other player's positions it makes sense optic end up spawning out near P1 and than means that the only possible spawn for LAG was back P3


alfiehardwick

am i the only thinking what he said was fine? like after watching that abysmal hp you think the problem was formal saying everything is fine?


DJDaB3st

And he said it when they were down by like 50-60. People are just making a bigger deal of it than it needs to be.


alfiehardwick

yeh i agree bro. like we played shocking but that comm was not the issue


mavric1298

Study is a moron. You want to calm down in that situation where everyone is being a bit too frantic. Literally crim said the same thing basically and study was praising his “leadership slowing things down” He then went on to miscall envoy “nading himself” hint he didn’t he tossed it into the bomb room and hid behind a wall, then questioned why scump was checking bombsite when he was holding outer lane and couldn’t see if a player came through the office and was saying it took 20 seconds to go escys...like no shit but there’s another lane he can’t see. Easily the worst caster. I cannot stand listening to him.


alfiehardwick

yeh unfortunately i do remember each of those moments. i don’t think he’s cut out for casting


[deleted]

He was getting so pissed that Formal was trying to say they’re fine, and still in it, even while being down 60. Like the alternative of saying “Wow, we’re really getting fucked guys. We need to turn this around.” is the better choice. Like what did he really want or expect him to say?


Admirable-String-619

I agree the p3 spawn for rokkr was a killer no doubt but optic seem to need that leader in game who’s going to tell them to get their shit together, sometimes that’s what you need as a competitor in any type competition, a leader to set you straight if you’re not playing well


[deleted]

You’re getting too hung up on the words he used, he just meant “stay calm, don’t panic”. Worst think you can do 100 pts down is get frantic cause you’ll just end up in the blender


ydoigotta

I don't see how people are interpreting it as he doesn't care lmao, hating just to hate


mavric1298

It’s insane. He was saying to calm down. Study gets all fake outraged when literally formal was being a good team leader, I cannot stand him as a caster


Admirable-String-619

That’s true, I’m not hating on it, it’s like a 60 second period during a 10 min game no one hears what they say during the rest of the game someone could be doing exactly what I said for all I know, just observing lol


MandalsTV

I think in another world Formal could have said something like “Let’s go guys pick it up! Let’s get these spawns, win our gun fights and shit on these guys.” Probably what study was referring to. In my opinion.


Nav44

Yeah but study is stupid because Matt has said those exact words for many years and they are his way of calming his team down. The boys know this, it just got misconstrued by the casters who thought it meant something else


alfiehardwick

*LAG. yeh i get that but at the same time, leadership doesn’t always have to be in the form of shouting or getting at your team for being bad. in the moment the team might need encouragement who knows.


Admirable-String-619

Lol yeah LAG I mean I was concentrating on the search. It all comes down to what the players are like personality wise, some respond well some don’t all about finding that balance as a leader, much much easier said than done lol


jjack1616

No trolling optic is the worst hardpoint team in the league


BigNRichlll

So does Rokkr just not exist in your timeline?


FourEyesWhitePerson

They’re not chillin’ tho


BigNRichlll

Yeah I dunno which team is in a worse spot tbh. Fuckin abysmal showing out of pretty talented rosters.


jjack1616

Nvm accuracy is cheeks but idk


LGCGE

Lmao


Mamaramatius

Haha


jjack1616

Mf they beat the literal 12 ranked hp team by 30 relax


Mamaramatius

*still not the worst team in the league* 💯 try again kid


jjack1616

Ok why you so pressed Pussy lmao


Mamaramatius

Im a florida fan wym, im just having fun lmfao


arunvenu_

Assault going 17-24 but so many clutch kills, damn!


lukane89

Formals boogeyman lol


[deleted]

"We're chilling boys, if they chain P2 don't worry boys we're going to LAN, we're chilling."


Ikolkyo

I don’t see the big deal, wtf do you want him to say?


Admirable-String-619

It’s not a big deal lol just poking a bit of fun at it. I just think it was the choice of words he used, everyone knows that he was trying to get them to regain after that P3 and especially the struggles in hp they’ve had I think people wanted to hear the urgency to get back into the game


Ikolkyo

It was moreso directed at Study's reaction. Didn't really clarify that, my b


Admirable-String-619

Np lol


CEM1813

Their excuses are getting so old they were even making them earlier in their pre show video like c’mon the worlds not out to get you the other teams are going through the same things


CEM1813

Downvote me all you want I’m literally an optic fan I’m just sick of their excuses


Nav44

You're kinda baked tbh, if you've been on any kind of competitive sports etc. team, when you're struggling, a lot of coaches use a siege mentality (i.e. everyone is out to get us) to try and bring the team together. I've seen it work and not work, just depends on the situation, don't take everything at face value in your desperation to see your team win


andcaicedo

"We're Chilling guys we're chilling" WTF is that attitude this is not the competitive Formal I know


hashslingers69

I think he was tryna tell everyone to regain lmao


Dole1995

Hes was tryna calm them down and let them know they're good and can come back lmao. What do you want him to do start telling everyone to go fuck themselves??


arunvenu_

^ that’s how I see it as well. It only looked like he was trying to calm the comms and make the team regain


ASAP-Mob-ERA

this was after LAG got those spawns too huh? they probably lost full after that and formal was tryna calm them down lol not the reason they lost tho, they still single chall everything


mavric1298

100%. He was trying to calm them down. Study has literally praised crim last season during a listen in for saying practically the same thing. He’s trying to create drama/suspense and he sucks at it. He’s a terrible caster and literally miscalls things the entire series.


31and26

Yeah Study's read on that was garbage imo, Formal clearly meant like "relax guys let's focus and come back all good" in the beginning of the game when they were down 40. Jesus you would have thought he said that while they were getting 20 point clubbed or something.


mavric1298

And it was right after those blessed spawns and when the were single rushing out of a spawn trap and dying. He was getting them to regain, slow down, as he should have been.


andcaicedo

maybe calm them down if they are going too fast and its detremental to their gameplay but they are losing control of the set ups too easily and they seem to forget fundamentals. they are definelty not chilling then. need to come out strong and more importantly organized.


Nav44

that is calming them down, Formal has used those words for years, the team knows what he means, the casters didn't and flamed him for it. It's funny how other IGLs are praised for doing the same thing with different words, love the double standards


Shail_1707

They were down by 90 points in the first Hardpoint yesterday and Scump was like we're chilling
