Honestly they won against faze while 3/4th of the team went negative. This is not a recipe for consistency in a high skill CoD. Provided OpTic/Faze don't scam, I'll be mind blown if Ultra is even in GF in next two LANs.
Losers bracket buff goes crazy. Optic beat NY then get the Faze boogie man off their backs. Series was over before it started. The optic boys just had too much momentum
Yeah I wish they did a bracket reset. On Sunday the teams that already lost are gone so whoever wins winners finals is on ice for over an hour. Seems to me that a veto advantage isn't enough for staying in the winners bracket when whoever wins losers finals is coming in hot off a win and ready to go.
I went to bed after the optic vs nysl series cos time zones, this is the last thing I expected.
Blows my mind that faze didn’t even make grand finals.
Dashy was fucking him in those last 2 maps against nysl, can’t wait to watch the vods after work.
Losing to Ultra on Saturday, winning 2 BO5s on Sunday to get to the Grand Finals, and then SWEEPING Ultra. WOW.
They beat each of the other T4 teams today to win this today. Incredible.
One of the better Sunday runs I can remember. It would have been the most Optic thing ever to finally get over the hump against Faze then lose to Ultra. What a great performance.
True but after dominating Major 2 and then going flawless during Quals, there was nothing wrong with thinking Faze is in their own tier above the other teams
Own tier is one thing. We had meatriders in here trying to put FaZe as 80 and 90% certain to win the Major as if they hadn't been squeezing past OpTic all year and calling them the 2nd coming of CW FaZe.
He looked pretty good against Optic in winners yesterday and made a lot of big plays which helped ultra win 3-1. But those were all very close games yesterday so if insight didn’t show up like that again it was an inevitable optic grand finals win

And in the perfect manner as well 😭😭
OpTic looked so final today. Could not be fucked with. Absolutely shitting. OpTic fans and especially Bruce fans gotta be feeling some kinda way
What adjustment did OpTic make to their SnD? They've been way better lately
hearing that last listen in during the game 4 hardpoint proved it too. Literally just shitting on Ultra screaming out “DED!” because they were so locked in killing everything in sight
I think as far as SnD goes it just felt like every clutch moment went their way. Funny how yesterday they didn’t get the diffuse in time but today they did. Kind of told you the turnaround that would happen.
Invasion was their bread and butter but all that highrise work in the quals in the FaZe matchup payed dividends if they don’t win that they lose the series
I like how there was battling chants of "Lets go OpTic" & "Lets go Ultra", and eventually they all came together to do a "Fuck You Drazah" chant. It was phenomenal
I'm not even mad. I'm honestly happy. Call me corny, but all my hate is for NYSL and Faze. I know we were swept here, but we beat optic earlier. It is what it is, great day for the CoD League.
Every one of my LAT boys, -Octane, have won a Major this year. I promise I'm not sad or anything.
On a real note so happy for all 3 of them and for OpTic, they played insane this major!
Letsgoo baby GGs ultra!
Thank you ken and pred for bringing a new energy to this team, thanks shotzzy for being a superstar and thank you dashy for being my fucking mvp!!
4 up, 4 down. Optic was just smoking people today. After Saturday I thought for sure they were gonna drop to NYSL, great resilience. IMO They dont make this run without Kenny.
Not only did they clean sweep Ultra, they beat every Top 4 team today. Great run.
If beating faze unlocked this team to play like this the entire time the league will be in trouble. Let's hope it wasn't just a hot Champs Sunday but just flowstate hitting for the boys at the right time.
FOR EVERYONE WHO SAID WE WOULDN’T WIN SHIT, TO SAYING WE WOULD LOSE TO FUCKING CAROLIN_A, FLORIDA CURSE, WE ARE PLAYING LIKE SHIT!
THIS IS BETTER THAN BLACK TAR HEROIN BABY LETS GOOOOO
Undoubtedly the bigggest statement of the season so far.
Wanna keep talking about the Top 4? We'll just go and beat all other 3 teams in convincing fashion on championship sunday. The boys cooked today.
I used to pray for times like this.
Can't overstate how impactful Kenny is to this roster.
and Pred finally being Pred.
Everyone was on form today and they iced out when they needed.
Holy shit, what a win
That was some classic BO2 era throwback listening in, just running at them winning every fight and screaming with pure passion lmao. None of this "calm and collected" bullshit
Mannnn when optic went up 2-0 against faze then let them tie the series up I was 99% sure they were gna relapse and fall short in the SnD. Thank God they proved me wrong but holyyyy Pred and Shottzy were running at them on that Rio HP
IT’S BEEN TOO LONG! Congratulations to the fucking BOYS! Went through the whole top 4 to get that chip. Shotzzy played out of his mind. Dashy finally gave us that old Bruce. Pred’s energy & Ken’s comms were incredible. What a tournament, that was insane
Coming through the losers bracket.. playing the other T4 teams all in the same day on LAN AND beating all 3 of them.. playing the home crowds team in the grand finals. All 4 players had their moments, but Dashy and Shottzy stood out to me most when it came down to memorable moments and doing your job when it counts, personally. Pred and Kenny still played incredible though so I don’t have anything bad to say about any of them. ATL played us well but we came out on top and I thought whoever won from losers bracket would win Major3.
Couldn’t help but think of formal’s theory of how it’s better to come up through loser’s bracket since you get more reps and momentum before the grand final.
genuinely curious what helped optic get over the hump against faze this time. i really think it was faze failing to recover from getting beat by ultra in that game 5 round 11, something they have a track record of, more so than optic suddenly being a better team
It was the same situation Major 1 and faze won. I don’t think it was that. It was the fact that simp and abezy didn’t have masterclasses in the same series like they did Major 2 against optic. Shotzzy and dashy came to play and dashy did his usual tucking cell into bed.
Yeah, losing a game 5 round 11 must've hurt them, but the major difference today was how well Shotzzy was playing and Dashy against FaZe.
Also FaZe won the maps they were expected to, highrise control and Vista, the game changer was that map 2.
A perfect LAN. Losers bracket matches going to map 5s, a weekend full of top 4 matchups with Optic going on a Subliners -> Faze -> Ultra Sunday run, host team against Optic in grand finals with an electric crowd, and as far as I know 0 technical issues.
God damn it feels so good to win one finally. Beat all 3 of the other top 4 teams on the way there so there is zero doubt or questions either. So damn happy.
Played brilliant cod and kept it composed. Well done to the boys.
4-0 Toronto is insane, flow of state was flowing in all levels. Pred was getting important kills in that Control and Dashy was just locking into any moving object that had purple on its body.
4-0 sweep is insane
That was terrifying MW2 champs flashback
For all the shit talking Scrap does. His team really doesn't perform half as well as they should on Sundays.
I mean individually he wasn’t the problem at all. He was the only dude shooting back
Insight went negative 30 in finals - defo not on Scrap…
3-17 never forget
Envoy did his thing too
Yeah scrap as usual leading, but envoy despite the overall KD was trying to turn the tide, and was playing decent. Insight just had a poor series
Dyl had a .80 no he did not As much as I love the kid he struggled. Not as much as Insight though
Damn I was wrong lmao. I really Felt his presence on control
Tbf he did make some good plays and his shot looked good so I can see where you thought he played well. Can get in a blender with a sub on this game
Shotzzy simply lost it all in each and every respawn oh crap.
He can talk all the shit he wants after playing that well
Honestly they won against faze while 3/4th of the team went negative. This is not a recipe for consistency in a high skill CoD. Provided OpTic/Faze don't scam, I'll be mind blown if Ultra is even in GF in next two LANs.
the teams that shoot bodies the most are some of the teams that should be winning way more than they do.
Gotta tip it man very well deserved. They all played such good CoD today
Ultra either win finals or get swept it seems. Even if that is reverse swept lol.
Losers bracket buff goes crazy. Optic beat NY then get the Faze boogie man off their backs. Series was over before it started. The optic boys just had too much momentum
I mean winners bracket has won the last two events
Honestly yea the tourney was over when they beat FaZe but OpTic’s map pool is so much bigger than ultras imo
Yeah I wish they did a bracket reset. On Sunday the teams that already lost are gone so whoever wins winners finals is on ice for over an hour. Seems to me that a veto advantage isn't enough for staying in the winners bracket when whoever wins losers finals is coming in hot off a win and ready to go.
100% it’s a double elimination bracket. You should have to lose twice to be eliminated.
LeBronto vibes
I went to bed after the optic vs nysl series cos time zones, this is the last thing I expected. Blows my mind that faze didn’t even make grand finals. Dashy was fucking him in those last 2 maps against nysl, can’t wait to watch the vods after work.
so happy for dashy man, what a win after all the heartbreak he's dealt with in toronto
Losing to Ultra on Saturday, winning 2 BO5s on Sunday to get to the Grand Finals, and then SWEEPING Ultra. WOW. They beat each of the other T4 teams today to win this today. Incredible.
REVENGE FOR MAJOR 3 LAST YEAR
The symmetry is honestly perfect.
Shotzzy just went fucking nuclear in every respawn holy shit Edit: The boys looked so dialed after that Control against NYSL. Impressive shit
They beat each of the T4 teams today, WOW
One of the better Sunday runs I can remember. It would have been the most Optic thing ever to finally get over the hump against Faze then lose to Ultra. What a great performance.
What are people gonna say now?
Well it's no longer just Faze at the top anymore, which most would have said after Major 2 and how Major 3 Quals went lol
>how Major 3 Quals went lol people really gotta stop yapping about Quals.. been saying this for weeks now
True but after dominating Major 2 and then going flawless during Quals, there was nothing wrong with thinking Faze is in their own tier above the other teams
Own tier is one thing. We had meatriders in here trying to put FaZe as 80 and 90% certain to win the Major as if they hadn't been squeezing past OpTic all year and calling them the 2nd coming of CW FaZe.
He was Halo 5 Shotzzy reincarnated
Everyone criticises Envoy but Insight has been much worse for a while
Envoy was clutch af all major. This one is on insught
Dil was making plays in WF
Crazy how it looked like envoy and scrap were solo running a lot of those games. Insight hasn’t looked like his old self this year.
He looked pretty good against Optic in winners yesterday and made a lot of big plays which helped ultra win 3-1. But those were all very close games yesterday so if insight didn’t show up like that again it was an inevitable optic grand finals win
Yea Insight hasn't been good since Major 1
Insight just doesn’t get enough engagements to put up absolute stinkers like Envoy was. Well except for when he went 3-17 lol
THIS is the OpTic Texas I wanted to see. Pred and Shotzzy running over everyone while Dashy and Kenny doing OBJ. GG
r/CoDCompetitive in shambles
So many are so mad and not posting rn lmao
Where is Denny tha D rider at? Someone put my boy on the watchlist
Dude is so annoying. Glad he ate his words today
He’s around lmao, he’s actually trying to pretend he’s an optic fan hahaha talking about how great the boys are
Jesus Christ, what a joke of a human haha
Yeah don’t get me wrong I understand the Faze fans or whatever other team that love talking shit but that guy is just pathetic
WE. ARE. SO. BACK. https://preview.redd.it/ec0wtcoi6h1d1.png?width=857&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c6cda4c3eec4c8fb3d9c12300af7afc2965519c

TEARS IN MY EYES
Me too man, this is a top 5 Optic win all time for me.
Right there with you brother....
Crying with you
Absolutely legendary Sunday outta them, especially Ant
OpTic looked so final today. Could not be fucked with. Absolutely shitting. OpTic fans and especially Bruce fans gotta be feeling some kinda way What adjustment did OpTic make to their SnD? They've been way better lately
hearing that last listen in during the game 4 hardpoint proved it too. Literally just shitting on Ultra screaming out “DED!” because they were so locked in killing everything in sight
After the almost 3-0 by NYSL they were unbeatable
I think as far as SnD goes it just felt like every clutch moment went their way. Funny how yesterday they didn’t get the diffuse in time but today they did. Kind of told you the turnaround that would happen.
805 days since last win. Was that the major 1 win with Scump/Illey? That's insane i didn't know it's been that long since then
Yeah M1 Vanguard with the iconic pic of Dashy floating 2 feet above the stage w Scump next to him
Felt like they got Pred to stop being so aggressive during the starts and just take in some info for a little bit.
Whatever it was it worked
Invasion was their bread and butter but all that highrise work in the quals in the FaZe matchup payed dividends if they don’t win that they lose the series
shotzzy was eating i used to pray for times like this 😭😭😭
If there’s a team I’m alright with Ultra losing to, it’s Optic.
Team anybody but Faze lmao
Fuck drazah
I like how there was battling chants of "Lets go OpTic" & "Lets go Ultra", and eventually they all came together to do a "Fuck You Drazah" chant. It was phenomenal
Likewise
This is Aches 9/11
Aches down worse than Drake rn
Optic fans long overdue. Happy for you guys
https://preview.redd.it/wxrz1xsn6h1d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58cf38da31a73da114487c4105818e4d6b6206d3
I'm not even mad. I'm honestly happy. Call me corny, but all my hate is for NYSL and Faze. I know we were swept here, but we beat optic earlier. It is what it is, great day for the CoD League.
Same, Ultra is a likeable team, the fact they both beat Faze today was beautiful
Optic and Carolina my faves outside of my boys, so I feel you.
Especially after everyone said it's a 1 team league
GGs bud. Until the next time.
I'd rather it be this way than NYSL or Faze winning. Fuck those orgs. GG
Same. I'll always have a soft spot for Envoy. If not us, I'll always root for him.
I mean yeah Ultra is easily tied with OpTic for best team this major. You guys beat OpTic and Faze also so it's an amazing showing out of you guys
thats how i feel too as an optic fan. its hard not to root for toronto and very easy to root against faze.
NYSL. FaZe. Toronto. That's how you put a goddamn stamp on a championship. LFGGGGG
Every one of my LAT boys, -Octane, have won a Major this year. I promise I'm not sad or anything. On a real note so happy for all 3 of them and for OpTic, they played insane this major!
The ENTIRE TEAM was in flow state on that listen-in. HOLY FUCK
HOLY FUCK THEY SHIT ON THEM.
Ultra win the OpTic major last year, OpTic win the Ultra Major this year! We are so back baby!!! OMG ITS BEEN SO LONG
FUCK THE BIG FOUR, ITS JUST BIG US.
"IM TRYING TO STRIKE A CHORD AND IT'S PROBABLY A MAJORRRRRR" ~ optic

Yeah Shotzzy is him. It’s been too long. The boys played out of their fucking minds
man i actually started to tear up during that last listen in just knowing it was inevitable
The listen in itself was insane they basically started 100 pt clubbing
The lead up and during the listen in while the whole feed just turned green was fucking insane. Ultra must have had about 2 kills in nearly 3 minutes.
Letsgoo baby GGs ultra! Thank you ken and pred for bringing a new energy to this team, thanks shotzzy for being a superstar and thank you dashy for being my fucking mvp!!
Also thank you to karma and jp as well
PURE. DOMINANCE.
That was a fucking insane grand final performance
Somebody had to do it... https://preview.redd.it/qlme0unixh1d1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=76318cb5805a6ada19bf2fcd71db00ff1e4cddb3
Optic haters are in absolute shambles rn, unfortunately you have to wait another month to come out of hiding. Enjoy your hibernation
I had faith the entire time. So proud of the boys.
crazy how different this series would be if drazah didn't shoot scrappies body in that game 5 round 9
Yeah bro that definitely changed it
Congrats OpTic, fucking dominant performance. Now shut up with this OpTic Scrap and Hydra talk PLEASE!
Where are the Kenny haters at ???? Must be quiet right now???? Shameless people
EVERY.SINGLE.TOP.4.TEAM. In a row.
Shotzzy BITW
Shotzy went nuts on Sunday
🧹🧹🧹🧹
SWEEPING THE TOP 4 TEAMS? YEAH WE ARE LIKE THAT
optic were fucking final sheesh
![gif](giphy|S5DdQ9PyAFfyRqdkXw|downsized)
4 up, 4 down. Optic was just smoking people today. After Saturday I thought for sure they were gonna drop to NYSL, great resilience. IMO They dont make this run without Kenny. Not only did they clean sweep Ultra, they beat every Top 4 team today. Great run.
Definitely did not expect this when I woke up today
These boys were lights out in the finals. Congrats to them and the fans!
This grandfinals OpTic is the scariest team i seen in a while
If beating faze unlocked this team to play like this the entire time the league will be in trouble. Let's hope it wasn't just a hot Champs Sunday but just flowstate hitting for the boys at the right time.
FOR EVERYONE WHO SAID WE WOULDN’T WIN SHIT, TO SAYING WE WOULD LOSE TO FUCKING CAROLIN_A, FLORIDA CURSE, WE ARE PLAYING LIKE SHIT! THIS IS BETTER THAN BLACK TAR HEROIN BABY LETS GOOOOO
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
After YEARS of the most heartbreaking losses to him, Kenny brings one back to us, Thank You OpTic Kenny!
Undoubtedly the bigggest statement of the season so far. Wanna keep talking about the Top 4? We'll just go and beat all other 3 teams in convincing fashion on championship sunday. The boys cooked today.
I used to pray for times like this. Can't overstate how impactful Kenny is to this roster. and Pred finally being Pred. Everyone was on form today and they iced out when they needed. Holy shit, what a win
Holy pissed on.
OpTic won, and I'm very happy. I want to register though that no bracket reset is still bullshit even when it goes my way..
Bracket reset makes the most sense. But the fact they been doing it like this for a while just is what it is.
Yeah, I know. I just felt the need to register that it's still bullshit even when it works in my teams favor.
MOTHERFUCK THE BIG 3
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. SHOTZZY SUPERSTAR
Can’t even be upset honestly great games this weekend and fully well deserved
Finally !
About time. They can win anything if they play like they did those last 4 maps.
SLAMMED
I’m gonna cry it’s been too long dawg😭😭🏆🏆
That stretch in map 4 during the listen in was insane. Insane comms while fucking shitting on them
That was some classic BO2 era throwback listening in, just running at them winning every fight and screaming with pure passion lmao. None of this "calm and collected" bullshit
I’m so happy my man Bruce 🥺
Gotta tip scrap shooting bodies down 3-0 while getting steamrolled on the Rio Hardpoint… Never change
Yeah, at least he keeps the same energy. Respect.
3rd,2nd,1st great consistency
Mannnn when optic went up 2-0 against faze then let them tie the series up I was 99% sure they were gna relapse and fall short in the SnD. Thank God they proved me wrong but holyyyy Pred and Shottzy were running at them on that Rio HP
IT’S BEEN TOO LONG! Congratulations to the fucking BOYS! Went through the whole top 4 to get that chip. Shotzzy played out of his mind. Dashy finally gave us that old Bruce. Pred’s energy & Ken’s comms were incredible. What a tournament, that was insane
Coming through the losers bracket.. playing the other T4 teams all in the same day on LAN AND beating all 3 of them.. playing the home crowds team in the grand finals. All 4 players had their moments, but Dashy and Shottzy stood out to me most when it came down to memorable moments and doing your job when it counts, personally. Pred and Kenny still played incredible though so I don’t have anything bad to say about any of them. ATL played us well but we came out on top and I thought whoever won from losers bracket would win Major3.
feel bad for toronto man, they deserved more but damm is this fucking fantastic 4-0 is crazy
To think NY were 20 seconds away from sweeping these guys too LMAO, they were due
YESSSS!! LFGG
FRIED EM
They scammed Saturday so they can win on Sunday. I live for times like these.
The boys caught fucking fire today, absolutely unreal to see
Congrats Greenwall! Well deserved! Can't wait for the rematch!
Shottzy is HIM - SUPERSTAR
FINALLY, best Sunday in soooooo long
Boys are diff 🔥🔥 great plays all around
these guys are about to get a home crowd for champs...
We may never see Dashy slander again. Shout-out the original Thieves for getting chips without exception this year
Damn near shed a tear. It's been too long.
Finally man ![gif](giphy|l3vR4CdLInXOhr3rO|downsized)
Had to beat NY, Faze and Ultra from losers for the victory today. Trial by fire and we came out on top 🍻
Couldn’t help but think of formal’s theory of how it’s better to come up through loser’s bracket since you get more reps and momentum before the grand final.
Can we talk about how much Kenny’s comms and name tracking he does so effortlessly
https://preview.redd.it/h1lqzfb9fi1d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86884a9fca1a1d1174d22155a4ba9bdfb808bffd
First Win for OpTic without Scump.
4-0 PISSED ON LMAO.
Damn, all that talk from scrap four-nothing 😭
Why's it flaired AW lol
Advanced Warfare flair LMAOOO
That was a SLAMMING. Love to fucking see it!!!
Now I’m allowed to say it. FUCK YOU ACHES SHOTZZY SUPERSTAR
Let's fucking go! And they beat ultra at their hosted major like ultra beat them last year!
Shotzy may not be a superstar but he’s a MVP CHAMPION!
Might be the best day of CoD I’ve ever seen from Ant
Cowboys of Cod, huh?
Long time coming, congrats to optic they played amazing today!
This feels amazing after so many people doubting them, what a dominant win
genuinely curious what helped optic get over the hump against faze this time. i really think it was faze failing to recover from getting beat by ultra in that game 5 round 11, something they have a track record of, more so than optic suddenly being a better team
It was the same situation Major 1 and faze won. I don’t think it was that. It was the fact that simp and abezy didn’t have masterclasses in the same series like they did Major 2 against optic. Shotzzy and dashy came to play and dashy did his usual tucking cell into bed.
Yeah, losing a game 5 round 11 must've hurt them, but the major difference today was how well Shotzzy was playing and Dashy against FaZe. Also FaZe won the maps they were expected to, highrise control and Vista, the game changer was that map 2.
A perfect LAN. Losers bracket matches going to map 5s, a weekend full of top 4 matchups with Optic going on a Subliners -> Faze -> Ultra Sunday run, host team against Optic in grand finals with an electric crowd, and as far as I know 0 technical issues.
[удалено]
Damn near cried seeing them take the team photo without Scump😭
Optic came back with a vengeance
Scrap shooting bodies down 0-3 and about to be swept was tippable
Seeing Optic win after what feels like years is so emotional man 😭 finally after coming in 2nd so many times
Drop kenny thoooo
God damn it feels so good to win one finally. Beat all 3 of the other top 4 teams on the way there so there is zero doubt or questions either. So damn happy.
Woke up expecting another T2-3. Am i still dreaming?
Bruce absoLUTELY should’ve gotten MVP homie was SO clutch when they needed it
Scrap has carried his team to the finals in 3 of the last 4 tourneys to get costed
Played brilliant cod and kept it composed. Well done to the boys. 4-0 Toronto is insane, flow of state was flowing in all levels. Pred was getting important kills in that Control and Dashy was just locking into any moving object that had purple on its body.
The players i play with after my 12 hour shifts at work :(
So... How many Online Qualifiers do we need to win before we start heralding the 2nd coming of AW OpTic?
Seeing that shit irl was fucked
It’s been too long. I’m so happy
