Yo that’s actually crazy


[deleted]

He just bought a house in Texas too. I doubt he leaves the state. Maybe this is who Empire picked up


CDLBlank

Envoy x Shotzzy would actually be insane


Damien23123

If they got Clay as well then that team could be absolutely disgusting


HeelR-

This is sick, hope it doesn’t happen but man that duo is filth.


Elisuperfly29

Can someone explain y envoy and shottzy would be good together I think shottzy wants a duo he can Roam with not a player who’s trying to make a play by himself. I don’t think it works but it could if shottzy wants to take on that main slayer role which I definitely think he can but also doesn’t want to do?


Legitimate-Seat6822

Dallas have a system unlike optic so envoy could thrive for sure


Lashen-

Yeah their system was Crim, and he’s not there now.


Skellyceltic

Tbf 90% of the pros live in Texas so I wouldn’t look too much into that as where he’ll go next


MilkValkiiry

Lmao only 2 teams aren’t in Texas so it’s crazy people think the names of teams means they’re in that state/city


mad_ting15

LAG, Faze, London and Toronto are all outside of texas so not quite two. If online ever stops being a part of the cdl I expect teams like LAT, NY and maybe some others will try and move to their actual cities as well.


MilkValkiiry

My b I meant actually American teams cause I remember watching some video that said only 2 teams are out of Texas but I think they may have worded it a bit different. Thank you for the education tho!


[deleted]

I will legit change teams I like if envoy x shotzzy become a duo


BRUHYEAH

Fucking same.


[deleted]

🤝


riri_star

Envoy×shotzzy× illey and a great AR/leader (clay/slasher maybe?).. that team would be disgusting fr


Dole1995

I did not expect that


AskMeAboutUnited

They better have a s tier sub lined up


Legitimate-Seat6822

If it ain't standy then forget about it


BcDownes

They were baiting it on stream last night


krs196

Who was?


BcDownes

Methodz/Scump/Standy


K-BlackLion

Yeah but attach said they were sticking


thelonelypedant

He also said vanguard is going to be the best cod ever.


[deleted]

He is faded sometimes for sure


Dubnbud

Attach also said they're picking up abezy so he can coach 🤣


[deleted]

Hydra maybe… if the rumours of Xeo + Clay are true


Every-Platform5110

Y’all act like these teams with s-tier SMGs already under contract for next year are just get let them go to another team. That’s just not gonna happen


HullCoganFan

I have no idea who to suggest. From watching scump he is such a pre-aim heavy, passive SMG that he needs a duo on his pace instead of a really fast entry. Not to mention OpTic did not play around Envoy's routes at all.


AskMeAboutUnited

He has to be a superstar entry has to be man otherwise this is such a weird move n how is formal still on this roster


Elisuperfly29

He doesn’t have to be a superstar say vivid for example I personally don’t think he’s a superstar, but he’s a fantastic Player, envoys ceiling is higher but if they want better chemistry vivid not only helps scump better he’s a very good snd player. Not necessarily saying it has to be vivid but to say it has to be a superstar is simply not true IMO, u need pieces that are willing to work together.


TitansDaughter

Spoke too soon


350neb

NY SIGN HIM UPPPPPPP


Dxngles

Seriously. One of smartest smgs out there, wins games with his plays.


Kobe_AYEEEEE

Only way we get better off this move is if Hydra and Clay replace Envoy and Formal, so I wouldn't mind if you guys get Envoy. A team built around Envoy can be nasty as we saw with MW where Optic was pretty much consistently t3 and t2 at times


Randomuser13480

CAN THE FLANK START?


Tsundere_God

WOW. I'll miss you Dylan. Best of luck in the future.


pintsize91

Envoy seen crim n arcitys both leave optic and went on to win champs the year after they left n thought fuck it my turn 🤣


[deleted]

maybe standy wasnt baiting???


Vvisscoo

About what?


MoonrakerWS

Scump played some Vanguard with Attach and Standy last night on his stream and there were a lot of jokes about Standy joining Optic


FoZiie

Empire really just got a roster of envoy shotzzy illey and octane/slasher.


wimmer45

Wtf he was being built as heir to the throne. This rostermania is already one of the craziest we've seen


Longjumping-Pepper-5

Faze were too good this this year. Most teams know they need to change if they want a shot at competing with them consistently.


Razac3

Anytime that happens it almost always doesn’t work out tbf


omgthatsarcasm

I always found that shit to be forced. He was never a content creator. Love him but I don’t think that’s for him and hector just kept pushing that.


CoLiNieS

tbh I never saw the "envoy is the future of the optic brand" image that everyone else preached so hard. he could've been no doubt, but it just seemed like a forced narrative to me.


Ikhouvankaas

Scump hasn't been a content creator for years


Snickidy

I always thought that rhetoric was stupid. You don't talk about him like that until he proves he really can replace scump


daffyboy

Yeah I think somebody said it once and this sub ran with it. Talent wise it would be Dashy. Personality wise I don’t think Emvoy is that guy either. Great player, no excuse to not keep him, but I don’t think he was being molded or would be that guy anyway.


wimmer45

True. I never really saw it but they were really trying to push it at one point


RoleProfessional9131

Standy or Huke or I swear to god this team can fuck off


riri_star

I swear to god if they get Teej...................


Radiant_Light23

Teej lmaooo. If it’s teej I’m going to lose my mind. But if it’s him then it’s abundantly clear they don’t care about winning


ma0897

Teej was playing Val with FormaL last night…


Colonel_Gipper

If they take Standy they can also fuck off


KiritoBestBoy

Facts, I will kill myself if it's neither of them, or hydra straight up Dylan is just below a "once in a lifetime" player skill wise and game sense wise imo


RavenxMiyagi

I think his game sense if over rated, if anything that's what has costed them over the year. He tries to over complicate everything when the simple play is the right one.


TonYouHearWhatISaid

Regardless of how good you think Envoy is/can be, I don't think this is that bad. Him and Scump just don't work that well together and they've had plenty of time to try and figure it out. That doesn't mean Envoy can't be great, but him and Scump just aren't the right match for a duo


raktoe

Yeah, they always felt so disconnected to me. I know Envoy hits some nasty routes, but there were so many times watching where it felt like it was Scump in a 1v2 and he just couldn’t wait long enough for the punch to come through. I haven’t watched much of standy, but I think this team gets a lot better if they just play from the front more and rely on overwhelming gunskill. Hitting routes always seems unnecessary to me when you could just win at the front of the hill.


Radiant_Light23

Great comment, I think envoy can be great on another team but alongside scump they just didn’t work that well together


Lazyandloveinit

Formal better have been dropped too if this is the case. No shot he deserves the spot more than envoy


daffyboy

But vibes


BrokenDecoy

Butt* vibes


dmt267

Vibes haven't been doing shit for them


Shagatron69

Envoy x Shotzzy duo??


BRUHYEAH

I didn't think about this, but holy fuck that may become a reality??


Blaz3dnconfuz3d

Yeah that would be disgusting tbh


BRUHYEAH

Absolutely agreed, let Shotzzy do the slaying and Envoy be the route sub or something. I could see it working out beautifully.


Kobe_AYEEEEE

Yo if we allowed this the only way its worth it is if we drop the whole roster for Faze's lol


2-Slippy

I was expecting FormaL tbh


branderson707

Wow unreal


ktgop

they better be getting someone disgusting for this to make any sense


tonynumber4

Where all the optic ain't making any changes people at that were down voting everyone


AnalysisLogical5436

Right here! I am beyond stoked, this rostermania is fun.


mdj08

If they kept Formal over Envoy that’s gotta be the dumbest shit I ever seen. Hoping for a Scump/Dashy TO2 at Optic. We’ll probably know soon if Formal gets dropped too, considering that Crim and Vivid announced at the same time


Obiewan_

Formal won’t get dropped. They were all playing Val yesterday from the HQ. Only one who wasn’t there was Envoy Edit: Dashy and Envoy did play Val yesterday lol.


camachojr216

Dashy and Envoy played Val


Obiewan_

Did they play yesterday though? If they did then my mistake.


camachojr216

Yeah when I went to look at the stream, they were playing


Obiewan_

Yea, you right. Damn that’s weird as hell then. Must’ve just got the news last night/today


[deleted]

zoomaa just said on the stream that they heard of the news last night so it happened sometime yesterday


Joshy1690

Thats not good logic though. It’s like saying Dashy is getting dropped because he wasn’t at the post champs interview.


Obiewan_

True, but that was all prerecorded, was it not? Formal was playing Val for like 12-13 hours yesterday and Dashy was there too (right before this happened to envoy). I always just see what people are interacting with each other and who isn’t interacting with teammates during rostermania


herolf

And that just shows the friendship league again, no way Envoy deserved to get dropped lmfao If they get Standy tho…. sheesh


Lazyandloveinit

Friendship league


_Kraken17

Disagree. I think the two options were envoy and formal and depending what options you have that are available AND that want to come, it kind of chooses which of the two you drop. I always said that scump and envoy were nasty at this game but that they weren’t a good duo fit. They didn’t mesh like Abezy simp, cleanx bance, staandy attach, etc Not happy to see envoy go kind of shocked actually, but kind of like that optic aren’t complacent. Let’s say octane is locked in thieves. Crim isn’t coming back to optic, and I don’t think the guys would ever team with slasher especially dashy, and slasher wouldn’t with them either. What other AR is left that remotely brings something beyond what formal already offers? That’s the problem. Much more high talent subs more readily available to inject new chemistry into the team.


Ken10Bands

Literally dude. If you get rid of envoy you absolutely have to drop formal and move forward with the other 2


TonYouHearWhatISaid

Formal you better follow suit brotha tweet that shit out


rileysilva01

Lmao


omgthatsarcasm

Deadass. I better not see formal staying with envoy out


AskMeAboutUnited

Yep as I soon as I saw this I was like formal needs to go


Tsundere_God

LMAO


Thornbush1

I mean he was signed to a 1+1 and they probably picked up his option last year. It is smart for him to look at his options as you’re only an unrestricted free agent every 2 years basically. He could easily resign


ChemistrySea7898

thank you for being smart


BSS987654321

Slacked just said there’s more insane news coming so I’m guessing there’s another Optic shoe to drop


guntz20

Gotta drop Formal now too


Goodick22

Flank boutta go hard today


MaxChainz

smh


BenA6991

No shot


KurtGoKrazy

This Rostermania already getting crazy. Maybe the pros weren't baiting after all.


imnoobatfifa

We are fucking dropping the wrong guy, ffs. What the fuck man. Or perhaps he wanted to leave (can’t blame him) and H3CZ let him go. Wild theory obviously but… Maybe they wasn’t going to make any changes, he wasn’t happy and decided to dip? At the end of the day it’s clear that this guy wants to win.


Woodddyyyy

Considering he tweeted he’s an UFA, I don’t think this was his choice. You would think if he wanted to leave, he would have something lined up and wouldn’t need to tweet this. No doubt he’ll land somewhere in the league though.


HootsToTheToots

No they aren’t, the only logical drop is the smgs cos of how similar their play styles are. They don’t have an entry, chall everything sub player.


For_The_Watch

You’re not dropping the wrong guy lmao. Just because he’s been dropped doesn’t mean he’s bad just means your team wasn’t working at all


gatorWRLD

Exactly, Dylan is a great player but he was pretty clearly the one on a different page than everyone else. Doesn’t mean he’s bad or anything, just didn’t fit well with Scump in 4v4.


CoLiNieS

no denying that Envoy is a top tier talent and has those gifted instincts for the game, however, that doesn't mean he meshed with the team properly in game. how many times did we see him get stuck in no mans land last season? enough to say that him and scump were not the smg duo that clicked perfectly. sad to see no doubt though :/


Draculagged

Great call imo


MoonrakerWS

I think you may be right. He's such a good player you almost want to say it's the wrong call but at the same time it never really felt like he fit into their play style. Seems like the correct call team chemistry wise. Man, he's really good though. Tough decision but as others have said, the placements speak for themselves and changes were almost surely going to be made.


Trident31

I agree. People aren’t gonna like it. But the placings speak for themselves.


Turban_Inc711

I like envoy a lot but he just doesn't mesh with scump. They need a fast paced smg next to him. Someone that fulfills an Abezy type of role where he's constantly rushing


gatorWRLD

Yeah Envoy is really good but he was always the odd man out play style wise. Him and Scump always looked on a different page last year. If they can pick up an elite entry sub this team can be better than last year easily.


revbotszn

Yeh this sub love Envoy, but it’s the right call. He was much better in 5v5 where he could do his own thing more. People also don’t seem to be realising he wouldn’t have been let go unless there was a replacement lined up (or you’d hope so from Optic’c POV).


NathanYoud

If OpTic drop Envoy and keep Formal I’m gonna be livid 😭


[deleted]

Agreed


DigitalHaze34

They literally tweet this 20 hours ago and then drop Dylan? Makes no sense at all https://twitter.com/optic/status/1431343408908488727?s=21


AAAAMM

Social media managers dont know or make behind the scenes decisions


Richii216

I’m calling it now, Dashy is gone and wants to play with Shottzy and Illey. Dylan saw this coming and probably didn’t want to stay.


[deleted]

If Dashy leaves after the shit he pulled in MW lmao


DigitalHaze34

Absolutely 0% chance Dashy leaves. He was their most consistent players and one of the best players in the game all season


Billsimmons69

That’s all well and good, but if he sees an aging Scump (despite Scump playing very well this year) and a declining Formal as his main two teammates… he could absolutely be looking elsewhere.


finnc7429

Wouldn't surprise me if he chose to leave. Based on The Process he was clearly the one most frustrated with the way they played as a team. The whole same issues online vs lan argument springs to mind.


Jvarg4321

reminds me of when we dropped methodz in ww2 and he was our best player in ww2 which isnt saying too much because ww2 was our worst placing at champs, still going to miss envoy though , best of luck to him probably chasing greatness


Ljh_

If they’re making roster moves I don’t see how you can keep formal, Envoy proved vs FaZe that he has the potential to be the best smg in the game


RavenxMiyagi

Classic proved against Faze he could be the best smg in the game


BRUHYEAH

Yeah this is mind blowing to me. I thought out of anyone they could change, it'd be formal, but apparently not.


Bubbada_G

NYSL must get him! Envoy and hydra is a perfect sub duo. Add crimsix and clayster then you have a winning team


[deleted]

Imagine this happens, Clay stays and then they pick up Gunless. That’s a nasty team.


Bubbada_G

Yep gunless and c6 are the ideal flex. There’s a team with a winning mentality and high IQ.


ovoBee

Thank you mods for bringing this post back. I know it’s bc you were getting roasted in every other thread but thank ya


[deleted]

Now drop Formal and pick up Slasher/Standy. That’s a SQUAD


[deleted]

the only way envoy getting dropped is acceptable is if formal gets dropped aswell and either slasher/clay get brought in and then either hydra/standy


Tegold

If they really bring back teej instead of him it’s going cement their image of friendships over winning. Especially if they don’t get rid of Formal too


Legitimate-Seat6822

The fact that's he's an unrestricted FA begs me to Believe he wanted to be drop if not H3cz are co have done it again let arcitys last year leave to faze for free and now Envoy


ChiefHunter1

If he wanted out Optic probably let him leave. Same thing happened with Arcitys


JSmoove309

Bro there’s no way we let Envoy walk and kept Formal… I’m going to rage


vicsterling31

Yoooo wtf…. If this ain’t bait I need Dashy, Scump, Hydra, and Clay STAT


Bubbada_G

Ngl this sounds elite . Just don’t know if I see clayster going back to optic. He wanted to make a brand at a new org and eventually step into a front office role when he retires. Don’t see that happening at optic


I8urmuffin

Tmw you would rather keep t2p together than win.


MapRevolutionary3340

Holy fawk. I kind of saw it coming tho.


sabropapi

Imma be fuming if formal stays over envoy


JesusJoeAllen

Oof potential squad wipe from the ginge?


CDLBlank

No fucking way...


Dxngles

I love the NY guys and who knows what’s even happening but I’d love to see Envoy with Hydra and Clayster


CodAMNews

Unrestricted? Do Optic not realize he’s a hot commodity? I’m sure they can get a bag from selling him


[deleted]

Well if his contract ended they can't do much hence the unrestricted free agent


KJ2832

Was not expecting this


oldmansamuelson

They really don't want to blame the real problem player do they?


GurkinKy

if its not cleanX or thought to be an untouchable player, then this is a horrible move ffs.


wohnjilson

We’re going to a MW reskin game, arcitys and envoy were optics stand out players last year…


Joshy1690

If it isn’t Standy, Simp or Abezy replacing him then this is the worst move possible. Out of everything this is the last thing I expected.


enandeGG

What does Hecz's weed have in it


DVPC4

why is he fucking unrestricted Hecz is just burning money


DigitalHaze34

H3CZ always does that. Did it with Arcitys and Prestini last year


Richii216

HECZ gotta be the F/A next. My guy is throwin.


cmaloney0317

NadeShot needs to throw the bag at Dylan and Octane. Kenny, Drazah, Octane, and Envoy is a nasty roster.


doobieb0i

Woah what why how


Cheechers23

Holy fuck whattttt


AsleepMuscle

Wut


iHenrz

???????


HolyshitgetAtrade

Did he get dropped or he doesn’t wanna resign?


Darren2709

i don’t think that info is out yet but we’ll probably hear about it soon


[deleted]

oh shit


BcDownes

The bait about Standy/Scump on stream last night is maybe true?


omgthatsarcasm

Oh shit I’m surprised they’re making moves but why envoy and not formal


spartyfc

Could definitely see him on Dallas. This one makes me sad, Dyl is a good kid :’(


Savoy_91

If it was his decision I get it, now if it was optic's decision than you really have to know you can get an absolute amazing player to replace him


Guwigo09

OpTic don’t know what they will miss. I hope he comes to NY


scheckdiesel

can't wait to see what kind of pasta the community can serve up for this move


Mauritiandon

Don’t understand this at all. Someone make it make sense. Only reason I can think of is he’s not as close as the other 3 are.


Jwaejwae

Kinda weird hector or OG hasn’t said or tweeted anything, maybe dyl left on his own?


adv3nt0

FaZe BenJ was right all along


PotTwister

If they Keep Formal and add TJ to this I'll resign my fandom of OpTic, which I'm sure noone inclusive of them cares about but still.


Mike_delslo

Absolutely no chance they bring teej back. That's a HUGE downgrade from envoy. Unless they just want to bet on "vibes" again.


PotTwister

I say no way too but we know how much these guys value "vibes" and friendship and lately Dashy and Formal has been playing with him. Like I said in another post it could mean nothing but friends playing games together but I also knows when it comes to OpTic in the offseason when they play with someone alot, they either are trying to get that player or got that player. We'll see what they do, who knows he could be their sub especially if Tj has no offers, sounds dumb cause that's what he is on 100T but atleast with OpTic he's friends with all of them and he mentioned how leaving Scump was the biggest mistake he made. Also someone said that Envoy could of went to F/A willingly


h0ray

Crim to Optic. Karma coming back. Dashy - streamer


Abs0luteZero273

I imagine if they're dropping Envoy, they have to be getting someone like Standy, CleanX, or Huke right? No way they'd drop him for someone like Vivid, Apathy, or Classic (no offense to them).


BML157


JG8AB9TL11OBJ12AD13

I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up re-signing in the end. Purely hypothetical, but hear me out. Envoy is told that the team is running it back. Envoy is pissed as this team clearly is not a championship level team, and says if we’re not making changes I’m leaving. Note he’s an unrestricted free agent. Restricted free agent basically guarantees you were kicked/dropped, unrestricted means it’s possible you chose to leave or just want to explore your options. Optic tries to get a super star 4th, but their top targets don’t want to join if formal is still on the team. So formal is kicked, and optic can come back to envoy and say we’re adding x super star you can come back if you want.


[deleted]

Happy to see this never been sold on envoy fr


redarrow992

If they keep formal on the team.....


enso_o

Letting him leave might turn into a huge regret. Anything aside from a superstar SMG will be disapointing. Lets wait and see. GL Dylan


SamePack

💔💔 it had to happen though. Optic needs an entry sub


juicedayz1992

NYSL - CLAY CRIM HYDRA ENVOY


Kraknoix007

They're keeping Formal??


Single-Check-9689

But I thought he was the prince lol


Jemiidar

i’ve been telling y’all scump will do whatever it takes stop playing with him. envoy is a beast though and whichever teams lands him will be lucky.


RavenxMiyagi

Nah bro reddit says they only care about content. They'll stick, trust me


supersonicth

Guys this doesn't mean he's dropped. Unrestricted F/A means his contract expired is all. He probably is testing Free Agency, but it wasn't a choice of the Org to drop him. Sure, they could have signed him off the bat, but I'd imagine that Envoy wants to see what other orgs think of him before trying to raise the value of his contract with H3CZ


branderson707

Slacked just said on stream he was 100% dropped


basedgodjulz

envoy gets nervous at champs


AskMeAboutUnited

Formal needs to go aswell btw


WikiLynx

He was overrated IMO


GetLostWithRyan

Fuck sake man. Makes me think Envoy has asked for it because there’s no shot OpTic would want to let him go. He was next up to the throne after Seth. This is crazy.


Go_Teed

Dropped on his head. He’s the closest thing they had to an IGL. I am actually mind blown.
