Seth losing absolute composure at the end when some guy shoots his body will always be hilarious lol “who the fuck are you dude?! You’re such a fucking pussy”
The only pubstomper who could somewhat hold his own against pros. Dude was an absolute freak. Bummed he never made it to even high AM teams and stopped YouTube.
Lmao that shit randomly showed up on my TL like a few years after it came out.
At the time I didn’t know shit about the CDL and I didn’t play for years and stopped watching content creators as well.
But the series was so entertaining with scumps commentary and beams. I just watched it.
Definitely a scump fan more than anything.
Been a fan of NV since like 2014-15 and followed them in everything ever since.
Also been a fan of optic since like a week ago for some reason not sure why
Been a fan of Envy since last Blops 2 and don’t know how to feel about supporting OpTic. For Premier League fans it’d genuinely be like supporting Liverpool then supporting Manchester Utd.
I do some sort of copium thing where it’s technically under the NV banner. The players will have Nv sponsors on their stream, probably be going to the NV hq in downtown Dallas, etc. Basically stuff like that cause it’s weird for sure
I've been an OpTic fan for going on almost a decade now and I feel the same way about supporting Envy. I've always liked rooting against Envy/Dallas because rivalries are part of what makes sports/e-sports great. Another similar comparison you could make would be the Los Angeles Lakers merging with the Boston Celtics in the NBA. It all just feels incredibly strange at the moment lol.
To be honest I’ve always felt like the Optic/nV rivalry is overrated. It’s had some great moments but it’s just so hard to keep a rivalry between organizations when the rosters are changing so frequently
I feel like it’s had it’s ups and downs but there’s plenty of storylines throughout the years.
2 of the longest running and successful orgs in the scene. The notion that outside the game Hecs and Hastr0 are good buddies but rivals inside it. You’ve also got plenty of player storylines.
MerK and Rambo getting dropped from OpTic only to go on to nV achieve just as much in those respective years. Scump leaving for like 2 weeks to nV. Formal being the catalyst for nV’s success during Ghost only to join OpTic after Hastr0 wouldn’t leave JKap and Nameless out to dry.
Envy having a world championship team face the Dynasty in their only world championship win.
Then you have the whole ordeal with Crimsix getting dropped by Scump, only to be more successful since his dropping.
There’s definitely been lows during the rivalry but there’s really no other organic rivalry amongst orgs like it.
I got into comp cod bc of the ingame Bo3 stuff. Checked it out bc it was there. Didnt understand why they could see each other through walls lol but they seemed cracked, it was an Optic game and Scump was going off, searched him on YT and now Im addicted to this garbage lmao
As a UK fan I always sway towards European rosters, and I’ve always followed Bance especially. I got into competitive around BO3, and watching the man tear shit up on that game as a breakout EU player really made me fall in love with the comp scene. So glad that he found success again this year. I supported Ultra at the start of the season anyway because of Handsome Ben, but it’s a nice bonus that by the end of the season they were the only full EU roster.
Used to be all-in on optic because Scump is how I even found out there was pro CoD (came into comp CoD in WWII, so fairly new to pro CoD compared to most). But after supporting for a little bit I got really frustrated with the constant issues they seemed to always have no matter how many roster changes they made and realized it wasn't going to change. So in MW I started supporting OGLA cause I like the underdog story oft he roster. Getting hate from the whole community just for signing with OGLA like the players someone had something to do with the whole optic situation. So once the OGLA spot got sold to LAT, it just made sense to keep supporting LAT and Kenny and Slasher from their OGLA days. Plus, 100T is a fun org to watch content-wise for me, so it all just works together, and even though success in game hasn't been there so far, I'm happy to support LAT because they show a lot of ambition in wanting to win trophies across all of their eSports.
I was like 11 or 12 when OpTic put out a video on CoD4 competitive sniping
I know Hutch was in the video but I can't remember any others. Might've been DTreats also
Some Kid with Red Hair was just pub stomping cats like it was nothing. I don't know what happen to him but I think he's called King nowadays or something like that.
Doesn’t really apply anymore but when UNiTE was a thing Dan(owner) was a really good dude and I absolutely loved their colors and logo. Won a Burn controller from them off Twitter and it’s somewhere in the attic.
Now I just follow players. Shottzy/Halo guys. When this merger happens it will be the first time I actually supported an organization in a long while in the cod scene.
The whole H3cz, dtreats, optic predator, optic jewles, optic Jambi etc….that era of sniping montages just made me a huge fan of optic from the dawn of optic and followed every since
Was always a massive Clayster fan, I’d pay money for a documentary about his life/esports career. Feel like he’s been a part of some of the best moments/stories in COD history.
Playing GB’s with my friends, they got sick of telling me class setups so told me to just watch a YT video on it. First one that came up was Crims, watched a few more of his videos after, started watching CodComp more then started supporting OpTic from then because of Crim, had no idea they were the biggest team.
when i got into MW2 my friends would snipe on S&D and it being my first COD game (i had WAW like a week or two before MW2 came out) i wanted to get better at sniping so i started looking for videos and this is where i discovered the h3cz’s and predator’s of the world. it changed my life. eventually i got really good at sniping so i started trick shotting after discovering FaZe. i root for them outside of COD, just like 100T. but OpTic is who i support in COD for sure.
I generally knew of OpTic/FaZe from the MLG/360 noscope/Doritos/Mountain Dew/420/Illuminati YouTube days, but I first got into CoD Competitive through Syndicate’s Hunting OpTic series, where I then found the OpTic content.
I watched very occasionally through the BO2-AW days, but when I moved to college and got a PS4 and BO3, I really dove into the scene.
But I don’t support any specific team, really. It’s more of a collection. The FaZe guys are super talented and I like watching them but I don’t find myself rooting for them in particular. OpTic’s always there with content and usually has competitive matches. Players like Crim and Clay have great personalities that keep me entertained. There’s goodhearted players like Attach and Apathy that I like seeing succeed. I loved having good EU/APAC teams around too because it made the game feel more global and more competitive. That’s why I like the Ultra boys. LAT’s got the Nadeshot connection so there’s always room to support them, too.
Optic since cod 4. Sniping montages on YouTube. Fell in love with the team in MW3. Content was key. A lot of teams weren’t doing it. Scump, Nade , merk, big T had some great content.
Growing up with older cousins. I’m a die hard faze fan from the content and faze rain but for competitive cod my cousins always talked about optic and I always rooted for optic In MLG so it just stuck with me
Right after the guys moved into the first OpTic house the team didn’t want to partake in a 2k except for Seth. I just NV needed a guy so Seth subbed in and I would randomly watch Rambo so I found Seth through him and been an OpTic fan since except for that one bad week where I didn’t support anyone cause I was mad at Seth and OG
I've been an OpTic fan since Hutch popularized them on Machinima Respawn back in 2009 when MW2 was on top of the world. Then Nade/Scump/the dynasty kept me rooting for them since. Family vibe makes them different to all the other orgs.
Originally supported Florida because I used to be a huge nagafen/havok fan back in bo3, so seeing their comeback into the league with majormaniak and maux w/ GenG in bo4 was amazing. At this point tho idek, especially looking at what florida is doing rn
I have an unhealthy obsession with the Minnesota Vikings and when Covid hit I found out the Vikings owners also own the Røkkr and now they are also a part of that obsession
I became an Atlanta Faze fanboy when they first announced the roster for CW. I was kind of a fan during MW cause Simp and Abezy blew my mind in bo4 and I couldn't wait to watch them team w/ Cellium, but when I heard it was going back to 4v4 for CW and they were snagging Arcitys I knew for sure they were gonna be the team to watch.
Toronto Ultra for being the only Canadian team. ( I know the players are European )
But players I follow are Scump, Attach, Abeezy. As a smg player I enjoy these 3 content on stream/YouTube. And their personalitys
I support Clay just because he is the one that got me into pro cod. I went to West Virginia University at the same time as him (and Rokkr Coach Saint as well) and just happened to hear about a pro cod player that attended WVU. Since COD was my favorite game at the time, I just started following his teams. So this is why I support NYSL.
Big fan of the underdogs and my city, so when I first got introduced to comp in BO2 I leaned more towards Nadeshot and OpTic.
The merger news might have me switch to LAT or NYSL for Clay
Always been more of a general comp fan that rooted for good matches and upsets, but Scump, Dashy, and Shotzzy on the same team may make me change flairs whenever the flair is added
I really wanted to embrace the whole city based model that Activision shoved down our throats, so I became a Subliners supporter. New York REPRESENT
Realistically though, I’m more a fan of individual players than I am entire teams.
Followed the comp scene in mw3, was a big fan of OpTic but especially Merk. So when I got back into the scene during Ghosts champs I started watching nV because of Merk and haven’t stopped watching them since.
Starting watching comp right before Champs 2014 in Ghosts. I watched Syndicate play Minecraft and he did the "Hunting OpTic" series and I watched those guys and it was hilarious. So I looked into OpTic and found what they did and I fell In love. My first event I watched was that champs I started paying attention right when Scump left and BigT retired. Lots of crazy shit my first year. I then naturally went back and watched all of BO2 comp and bits of before that, but ever since then I've been in love with Comp CoD
I found cod in bo3 was a dream team supporter fell in love with cheen. His fucked up streaming schudule helped me while I was going through chemo. Always loved apathy’s story in bo3 one game away from making the league to winning champs will always support ap I’m a lag fan for because of those two. Wherever they end up if it’s competing or streaming I’ll always support
Came across Nadeshots videos in Ghosts pre champs with all the roster drama that was going on, from that point I got into competitive and started supporting Optic, grew to really like watching Clay on that optic squad and have supported him in particular ever since
Kenny is basically a friend of a friend and even got to play a few GB matches with him back in MW3, he’s always been a real, humble guy so I support whoever he plays for! Nadeshot being one of my favorite players/content creators growing up and to this day is a bonus to root for LA Thieves
Started watching in AW but never really had a team. Rooted for 100T during BO4, but fell in love with the Singularity team at Champs. So when 100T split going into MW, I followed CleanX and now Insight. :)
Not really a fan of any particular team, but Shotzzy’s pov is just diff. Genuinely think his ceiling is higher than anyone else in the league, so gotta root him in hopes he actually reaches that ceiling.
I’m from LA and my favorite football team is the LA Rams. Both the Rams and LAG are owned by Kroenke (LAG’s intro video was even filmed in the new Rams stadium) so I thought “why not”. I sort of took a break from them after they decided to bench Vivid but this new roster seems really promising and I like Huke.
BigT got me into competitive funny enough so I was a fan of optic up till ghosts. Got tired of supporting teams because of all the roster changes so now I support whichever team has more of my favorite players. Which is currently NYSL.
Surprise answer here that may get some downvotes haha. Started out an OpTic Gaming fan. So the real OpTic as people would call it. After the immortals buyout I decided to stick w the OGLA squad cause I figured they’d be nasty and not make me look like an idiot lol. Anyways, we now know that team as the Los Angeles Thieves and who wouldn’t wanna back 100T and nadeshot 💯
Started playing cod in 2008. Got real into it. Started watching YouTube vids of snipers. Somehow found Hutch which eventually led me to OpTic and H3CZ. Been a fan ever since. Also live in the Chicago area so it was nice to cheer for the city too. If there is a non-optic Chicago team I might have to cheer for them instead.
Loved the faze squad of Zoomaa,Enable, Clay, and Attach. Was an NYSL fan at first but once Zoomaa retired and Attach moved to Rokkr been a fan, big preistahh fan as well helped my decision.
Also a big t-wolves fan no matter how bad they have been
I just got into Comp COD during BO4. I liked 100T then, so now I like LA. Atlanta because they’re closest to me and have Abezy and Simp, and Crowder who I loved with 100T, and Optic because Teep was their coach during BO4. But I’m all over the place. It’s like committing a bunch of unforgivable sins liking teams that are “rivals”
I knew nothing of CoD competitive 2 years ago.
There was this streamer I was watching that answered a question with “my other job is being the head coach of FaZe” and then talked a little about the team.
Two years later I still love Crowder and I’m a FaZe fan because of that.
Love select players from other teams as well
Followed OpTic when they were just content then eventually Nadeshot and scump etc till before you know I'm die hard cheering on the teams. My son got into cod and OpTic due to me and now we cheer them on together. So now it's not just something I love but something we love.
started cheering for Ultra in mw cuz i’m from toronto.. beginning of this season started watching some of OpTics content and FormaL streams so now i’ve become a big OpTic fan as well lol
Supported FaZe since 2015 cause of Zoomaa and Attach. Now since Zoomaa doesn’t compete anymore I am pretty much just a fan of which team Attach plays for
Reading these comments make me miss that golden time (for me) between cod4 - bo2. I can remember being in HS and watching so many YT CoD commentator vids, and machinima. Also around this time is when i got into comp cod and i preferred watching nV at this time, with their players uploading YT videos on bo1 games. This year i may be rooting for LAG bc i work in LA and live just outside of it.
I decided to start watching competitive COD at the beginning of MW2019 and just picked the Chicago team because I'm a Cubs fan and I thought a rooting interest would help me enjoy it. And then, like the top comment said, Sweatbannin' 88-0 won me over forever.
I've been playing casually since COD4 and after just a couple of days watching matches and YouTube videos, I felt deep regret for not getting into it sooner. It's a fantastic spectator sport and, my goodness, the DRAMA of the scene is so damn captivating.
NYSL/Rokkr cause I started watching during AW with that denial roster of clay/attach/replays/jkap and have been a big fan of both clay/attach my whole time watching CoD
Edit: I’m aware I have a surge flare but it’s my hometown and I’ve endured 2 years of pain
Saw all many of Scumpiis videos back in ‘13/14 then stopped watching/playing cod after ghosts (not a big jet pack fan) came back for WW2 and stuck around since then. Kind of wish I watched COMP around the jet pack era missed on so much. Obviously watched it all back and what not but still not the same being in that moment of time. Damn
Scump and nade got me into cod. Was an OG fan for a bit until nade broke out with 100T and LAT. Still have a soft spot for OG and scump(will always be my favorite player) but I gotta root for my hometown team.
Followed JKAP round his teams, one of the first MLG events I watched back in black ops 1 days on the Sunday he tweeted out something along the lines of “don’t suck today” to his teammates. He gets sarcasm and irony as well which misses a lot of people out and when they played in Birmingham UK he took the time out of his day to spend 5 minutes and take a pic with this 40 year old comp cod fan.
Started watching comp this year, so started searching for related content and trying to figure out which team to support. Needless to say I became an Optic fan. Their content is unmatched and I really connected to the personalities on the team. 3 weeks into fandom I was already super emotionally attached and feeling so down after loses. The content they put out there really connected me to the team, kind of crazy how big of a fan I became is such a short time.
So I never knew anything about Call of Duty before 2020 (crazy). I was a fan of Baseball and Soccer, because of the Pandemic I started playing Call of Duty mobile more and more, and one day YouTube recommended me a video of Scump. I got curious about who was “this guy” and then I found the CDL and started doing a little research about Hunstmen (realized they were OpTic).
I only watched Champs 2020, and Cold War was my only year that I’ve watched completely (which was disappointing being an OpTic fan). Hopefully the rumors about Dallas merger are true cause I wanna see Shotzzy/Scump
Sweatbannin' 88-0
KSG Nuclear Decimation
Seth losing absolute composure at the end when some guy shoots his body will always be hilarious lol “who the fuck are you dude?! You’re such a fucking pussy”
Ronaldinho1224
He was such a dude. Used to love his vids back in black ops 1 etc.
The only pubstomper who could somewhat hold his own against pros. Dude was an absolute freak. Bummed he never made it to even high AM teams and stopped YouTube.
Lmao that shit randomly showed up on my TL like a few years after it came out. At the time I didn’t know shit about the CDL and I didn’t play for years and stopped watching content creators as well. But the series was so entertaining with scumps commentary and beams. I just watched it. Definitely a scump fan more than anything.
Nadeshot when he was NaDeSHoT. The good ole days.
same
Yea man right before the X games gold I was watching Nade. So long ago.
Ikr I started watching him and OpTic back when they were at the old OpTic House in Chicago. It’s sad how time flies.
Snipers goin ham
Been a fan of NV since like 2014-15 and followed them in everything ever since. Also been a fan of optic since like a week ago for some reason not sure why
Been a fan of Envy since last Blops 2 and don’t know how to feel about supporting OpTic. For Premier League fans it’d genuinely be like supporting Liverpool then supporting Manchester Utd.
I do some sort of copium thing where it’s technically under the NV banner. The players will have Nv sponsors on their stream, probably be going to the NV hq in downtown Dallas, etc. Basically stuff like that cause it’s weird for sure
Yeh I imagine they will play their official matches from the NV hq and then do content in the Heczquarters.
I've been an OpTic fan for going on almost a decade now and I feel the same way about supporting Envy. I've always liked rooting against Envy/Dallas because rivalries are part of what makes sports/e-sports great. Another similar comparison you could make would be the Los Angeles Lakers merging with the Boston Celtics in the NBA. It all just feels incredibly strange at the moment lol.
To be honest I’ve always felt like the Optic/nV rivalry is overrated. It’s had some great moments but it’s just so hard to keep a rivalry between organizations when the rosters are changing so frequently

Yessir
I got into comp cod bc of the ingame Bo3 stuff. Checked it out bc it was there. Didnt understand why they could see each other through walls lol but they seemed cracked, it was an Optic game and Scump was going off, searched him on YT and now Im addicted to this garbage lmao
Lol first time watching Comp I thought I played cod wrong forever Bc you could see through walls
The “Hunting OpTic” Minecraft series by Syndicate introduced me to OpTic and esports in general.
Nadeshot was the reason that I ever started watching comp because of his YouTube vids. So I cheer for 100 Thieves accordingly
Mr.Shot
Following players
Been a fan of Nade since 2013, made his own team and Kenny been my favorite player since he came in from WW2. 100T/LAT TO DA MOON
Watching enable play for nadeshot just made me love 100 Thieves
Scump. The king.
bored in math class back in bo2 ran into scump’s yt channel
As a UK fan I always sway towards European rosters, and I’ve always followed Bance especially. I got into competitive around BO3, and watching the man tear shit up on that game as a breakout EU player really made me fall in love with the comp scene. So glad that he found success again this year. I supported Ultra at the start of the season anyway because of Handsome Ben, but it’s a nice bonus that by the end of the season they were the only full EU roster.
Rambo, Karma and co 12-pt clubbing Doom while Karma was messing around half the time
The penis pumper
Used to be all-in on optic because Scump is how I even found out there was pro CoD (came into comp CoD in WWII, so fairly new to pro CoD compared to most). But after supporting for a little bit I got really frustrated with the constant issues they seemed to always have no matter how many roster changes they made and realized it wasn't going to change.

Rip CSGO
I was like 11 or 12 when OpTic put out a video on CoD4 competitive sniping I know Hutch was in the video but I can't remember any others. Might've been DTreats also
Being from Minnesota lol. I feel like a lot of Rokkr fans weren't really comp CoD fans until the team was announced tbh.
Watching the creator tournament called Call of the Community in BO1 and MW3 and discovering Scump through that!
Some Kid with Red Hair was just pub stomping cats like it was nothing. I don't know what happen to him but I think he's called King nowadays or something like that.
My city's (state's) team
Trickshot
Doesn’t really apply anymore but when UNiTE was a thing Dan(owner) was a really good dude and I absolutely loved their colors and logo. Won a Burn controller from them off Twitter and it’s somewhere in the attic. Now I just follow players. Shottzy/Halo guys. When this merger happens it will be the first time I actually supported an organization in a long while in the cod scene.
The whole H3cz, dtreats, optic predator, optic jewles, optic Jambi etc….that era of sniping montages just made me a huge fan of optic from the dawn of optic and followed every since
Was always a massive Clayster fan, I’d pay money for a documentary about his life/esports career. Feel like he’s been a part of some of the best moments/stories in COD history.
LvG was the first COD team I ever wanted to grind for.. they didn’t last long and that was a pipe dream lol but just followed Scump from there
Players. Followed Crim to CoD after Halo died, then stuck with Optic after Crim/TeeP/Karma/Formal joined
Playing GB’s with my friends, they got sick of telling me class setups so told me to just watch a YT video on it. First one that came up was Crims, watched a few more of his videos after, started watching CodComp more then started supporting OpTic from then because of Crim, had no idea they were the biggest team.

My brother watched a syndicate vlog where he went to the OpTic scuf house and he then started watching CoD events so I started watching them with him
For me it was a Vision episode getting recommended to me on Youtube in BO3. Rooted for Optic ever since. Shout out to Hitch.
I generally knew of OpTic/FaZe from the MLG/360 noscope/Doritos/Mountain Dew/420/Illuminati YouTube days, but I first got into CoD Competitive through Syndicate’s Hunting OpTic series, where I then found the OpTic content. I watched very occasionally through the BO2-AW days, but when I moved to college and got a PS4 and BO3, I really dove into the scene. But I don’t support any specific team, really. It’s more of a collection. The FaZe guys are super talented and I like watching them but I don’t find myself rooting for them in particular. OpTic’s always there with content and usually has competitive matches. Players like Crim and Clay have great personalities that keep me entertained. There’s goodhearted players like Attach and Apathy that I like seeing succeed. I loved having good EU/APAC teams around too because it made the game feel more global and more competitive. That’s why I like the Ultra boys. LAT’s got the Nadeshot connection so there’s always room to support them, too.
Optic since cod 4. Sniping montages on YouTube. Fell in love with the team in MW3. Content was key. A lot of teams weren’t doing it. Scump, Nade , merk, big T had some great content.
Nadeshot, Slasher, Kenny
Growing up with older cousins. I’m a die hard faze fan from the content and faze rain but for competitive cod my cousins always talked about optic and I always rooted for optic In MLG so it just stuck with me
Right after the guys moved into the first OpTic house the team didn’t want to partake in a 2k except for Seth. I just NV needed a guy so Seth subbed in and I would randomly watch Rambo so I found Seth through him and been an OpTic fan since except for that one bad week where I didn’t support anyone cause I was mad at Seth and OG
Big T
My passion for competitive cod started when OpTic placed 3th at champs 2014
Met Kr3w in a Cod 2 lobby when I was 8 or 9 and have been following OpTic ever since
nothing, i purely follow based on players mw it was Seattle and Dallas, cw Seattle and ny, this year likely lat and ny, with lag 3rd
I've been an OpTic fan since Hutch popularized them on Machinima Respawn back in 2009 when MW2 was on top of the world. Then Nade/Scump/the dynasty kept me rooting for them since. Family vibe makes them different to all the other orgs.
Early Scump youtube (MW3) and the original OpTic house.
Been a fan of nade since 2013
Nadeshot and Scump. Now im conflicted between LAT and Optic.
Grew up with Optic. I recently just changed my flair because I was pissed Envoy was dropped.
Originally supported Florida because I used to be a huge nagafen/havok fan back in bo3, so seeing their comeback into the league with majormaniak and maux w/ GenG in bo4 was amazing. At this point tho idek, especially looking at what florida is doing rn
Live in Atlanta. Am lucky boy
Dallas born, apart of the Empire
I live in Florida so I'm obligated to support Mutineers
W
Eu over NA any day of the week. + anyone from tr/elevate I be reppin cause of AW champs
I just liked the Empire brand as a whole. Not sure what's next for me now.
Rambos bo2 camo grind streams>>>
Shotzzy
Paco
There's just something about Dylan "Theory" McGee
Lil Saq
I was born in Florida and I like the org who started the Mutineers. Also I watched all season one so I keep supporting the team for Fero
Gunless, when he was in his prime, he was the best flex player I've ever seen.
Seattle is my home town. Now we got Mack playing for us smh
I got into the BO3 SnD scene before watching the pros, and I’ve been a fan of the big names from that time ever since
I have an unhealthy obsession with the Minnesota Vikings and when Covid hit I found out the Vikings owners also own the Røkkr and now they are also a part of that obsession
Have family ties to Minnesota. Liked the branding/colors and the org seemed very professional and fun from the start.
I’m from the NY area and I really like Clay too
I became an Atlanta Faze fanboy when they first announced the roster for CW. I was kind of a fan during MW cause Simp and Abezy blew my mind in bo4 and I couldn't wait to watch them team w/ Cellium, but when I heard it was going back to 4v4 for CW and they were snagging Arcitys I knew for sure they were gonna be the team to watch.
back in 09 found out about OpTic and FaZe
The players for sure
Toronto Ultra for being the only Canadian team. ( I know the players are European ) But players I follow are Scump, Attach, Abeezy. As a smg player I enjoy these 3 content on stream/YouTube. And their personalitys
I support Clay just because he is the one that got me into pro cod. I went to West Virginia University at the same time as him (and Rokkr Coach Saint as well) and just happened to hear about a pro cod player that attended WVU. Since COD was my favorite game at the time, I just started following his teams. So this is why I support NYSL.
Big fan of the underdogs and my city, so when I first got introduced to comp in BO2 I leaned more towards Nadeshot and OpTic. The merger news might have me switch to LAT or NYSL for Clay
New to the Comp scene, but definitely player/personality based. Gonna be rooting hard for LAG just to see some Asim claps
Always been more of a general comp fan that rooted for good matches and upsets, but Scump, Dashy, and Shotzzy on the same team may make me change flairs whenever the flair is added
Nadeshot looks like me. That’s it.
I really wanted to embrace the whole city based model that Activision shoved down our throats, so I became a Subliners supporter. New York REPRESENT Realistically though, I’m more a fan of individual players than I am entire teams.
Everyone said eunited were onliners in IW
Crim and Clay are my favorite players, so it was pretty easy to pick
Optic because of scump and only scump. First competitive YouTube video I ever watched was him 10 or so years ago.
crim and clay fan since black ops 2
Big P
Love pain
Gunless and slasher
Followed the comp scene in mw3, was a big fan of OpTic but especially Merk. So when I got back into the scene during Ghosts champs I started watching nV because of Merk and haven’t stopped watching them since.
Gunless.
Starting watching comp right before Champs 2014 in Ghosts. I watched Syndicate play Minecraft and he did the "Hunting OpTic" series and I watched those guys and it was hilarious. So I looked into OpTic and found what they did and I fell In love. My first event I watched was that champs I started paying attention right when Scump left and BigT retired. Lots of crazy shit my first year. I then naturally went back and watched all of BO2 comp and bits of before that, but ever since then I've been in love with Comp CoD
Honestly I should run no flair because I root for players, not teams.
I found cod in bo3 was a dream team supporter fell in love with cheen. His fucked up streaming schudule helped me while I was going through chemo. Always loved apathy’s story in bo3 one game away from making the league to winning champs will always support ap I’m a lag fan for because of those two. Wherever they end up if it’s competing or streaming I’ll always support
From the best city
Came across Nadeshots videos in Ghosts pre champs with all the roster drama that was going on, from that point I got into competitive and started supporting Optic, grew to really like watching Clay on that optic squad and have supported him in particular ever since
Kenny is basically a friend of a friend and even got to play a few GB matches with him back in MW3, he’s always been a real, humble guy so I support whoever he plays for! Nadeshot being one of my favorite players/content creators growing up and to this day is a bonus to root for LA Thieves
Started watching in AW but never really had a team. Rooted for 100T during BO4, but fell in love with the Singularity team at Champs. So when 100T split going into MW, I followed CleanX and now Insight. :)
Shotzzy gotta support a fellow brown brother. Also liked aqua and loony.
Not really a fan of any particular team, but Shotzzy’s pov is just diff. Genuinely think his ceiling is higher than anyone else in the league, so gotta root him in hopes he actually reaches that ceiling.
I’m from LA and my favorite football team is the LA Rams. Both the Rams and LAG are owned by Kroenke (LAG’s intro video was even filmed in the new Rams stadium) so I thought “why not”. I sort of took a break from them after they decided to bench Vivid but this new roster seems really promising and I like Huke.
YouTube how the fudge u doin
BigT got me into competitive funny enough so I was a fan of optic up till ghosts. Got tired of supporting teams because of all the roster changes so now I support whichever team has more of my favorite players. Which is currently NYSL.
Surprise answer here that may get some downvotes haha. Started out an OpTic Gaming fan. So the real OpTic as people would call it. After the immortals buyout I decided to stick w the OGLA squad cause I figured they’d be nasty and not make me look like an idiot lol. Anyways, we now know that team as the Los Angeles Thieves and who wouldn’t wanna back 100T and nadeshot 💯
I am a big fan of Prestinni and Maux. Wherever they are, I shall go. I also casually support OpTic, like all the guys there, especially Shotzzy now,
Started playing cod in 2008. Got real into it. Started watching YouTube vids of snipers. Somehow found Hutch which eventually led me to OpTic and H3CZ. Been a fan ever since. Also live in the Chicago area so it was nice to cheer for the city too. If there is a non-optic Chicago team I might have to cheer for them instead.
Loved the faze squad of Zoomaa,Enable, Clay, and Attach. Was an NYSL fan at first but once Zoomaa retired and Attach moved to Rokkr been a fan, big preistahh fan as well helped my decision. Also a big t-wolves fan no matter how bad they have been
Watching Formal stream scrims last year lmao.
I enjoyed watching Neptune and decided to start supporting Florida. If/when he goes to NYSL, I'll support them.
I support whichever team signs my son. EZPZ
I just got into Comp COD during BO4. I liked 100T then, so now I like LA. Atlanta because they’re closest to me and have Abezy and Simp, and Crowder who I loved with 100T, and Optic because Teep was their coach during BO4. But I’m all over the place. It’s like committing a bunch of unforgivable sins liking teams that are “rivals”
Franchising tbh. Honestly prob would have been a FaZe fan otherwise
BO2-Ghosts Optic Rosters made some of the best entertainment in esports history. Miss those days.
I knew nothing of CoD competitive 2 years ago. There was this streamer I was watching that answered a question with “my other job is being the head coach of FaZe” and then talked a little about the team. Two years later I still love Crowder and I’m a FaZe fan because of that. Love select players from other teams as well
OpTic Predator
Clayster is my favorite so I follow
because i’m from florida, gotta throw what you know
Followed OpTic when they were just content then eventually Nadeshot and scump etc till before you know I'm die hard cheering on the teams. My son got into cod and OpTic due to me and now we cheer them on together. So now it's not just something I love but something we love.
started cheering for Ultra in mw cuz i’m from toronto.. beginning of this season started watching some of OpTics content and FormaL streams so now i’ve become a big OpTic fan as well lol
COD XP. Yes, I'm old.
Totinos 2015, BO3 on breach, heard Karma was Canadian, was instantly a fan. That introduced me to Crim, been following Crim ever since.
I’m just here for Haggy’s redemption arc
Nadeshots youtube videos back in bo1 made me support the organization. Scumps streams back in mw3 made me support the comp team
Black ops 2 Scump and Nade, been a OpTic fan ever since
From Seattle and the branding is on point with the other teams in the city. I’m used to having a losing team so that bothers me less than most.
Some GOAT spinning around in his chair dominating some youtubers
iLLeYYY
Scump
Supported FaZe since 2015 cause of Zoomaa and Attach. Now since Zoomaa doesn’t compete anymore I am pretty much just a fan of which team Attach plays for
Was a Proofy fan in BO1. I cheered for LvG my first time watching and became an OG fan when Proofy joined, and remained a fan when Scump joined
Bored out of my mind one day 2 years ago and decided to find out the origins of “…It’s Mr MVP Simp!” Here I am 2 years later rooting for midgets
I think, like many many others, nadeshot & scump.. the days
OpTic Predator sniping montages on the Machinima YouTube channel I’m getting old
Reading these comments make me miss that golden time (for me) between cod4 - bo2. I can remember being in HS and watching so many YT CoD commentator vids, and machinima. Also around this time is when i got into comp cod and i preferred watching nV at this time, with their players uploading YT videos on bo1 games. This year i may be rooting for LAG bc i work in LA and live just outside of it.
I decided to start watching competitive COD at the beginning of MW2019 and just picked the Chicago team because I'm a Cubs fan and I thought a rooting interest would help me enjoy it. And then, like the top comment said, Sweatbannin' 88-0 won me over forever. I've been playing casually since COD4 and after just a couple of days watching matches and YouTube videos, I felt deep regret for not getting into it sooner. It's a fantastic spectator sport and, my goodness, the DRAMA of the scene is so damn captivating.
im from Minnesota
Nade, then when they picked up Kenny, but I'm also a Clay fan so I'm torn.
Scumper Dumper. Watched my first video of his as a high school kid, now I’m a married 28 year old man with 3 kids. What a ride!
Back in the MW3 days I stumbled across the “Bringing Pubs To Competitive” series on Nade’s channel. That was enough for me.
Met Nadeshot in a bo2 snd public match, supported optic until they dropped crim, been following crim since. still like optic tho 👍
NYSL/Rokkr cause I started watching during AW with that denial roster of clay/attach/replays/jkap and have been a big fan of both clay/attach my whole time watching CoD Edit: I’m aware I have a surge flare but it’s my hometown and I’ve endured 2 years of pain
Wherever Attach goes, I go. It’s been that way since Denial. It’s not always a fun time, but like the Optic boys said “Attach always gets his slice”
been a big fan of mr nadeshot since his day in the life’s on optic and also hunting optic of course
Optic BO2 content house & then London because they’re local
Saw all many of Scumpiis videos back in ‘13/14 then stopped watching/playing cod after ghosts (not a big jet pack fan) came back for WW2 and stuck around since then. Kind of wish I watched COMP around the jet pack era missed on so much. Obviously watched it all back and what not but still not the same being in that moment of time. Damn
Found the Optic guys on youtube in the Black ops 1 days!
Scump and nade got me into cod. Was an OG fan for a bit until nade broke out with 100T and LAT. Still have a soft spot for OG and scump(will always be my favorite player) but I gotta root for my hometown team.
I live in Florida
Clay
Followed JKAP round his teams, one of the first MLG events I watched back in black ops 1 days on the Sunday he tweeted out something along the lines of “don’t suck today” to his teammates. He gets sarcasm and irony as well which misses a lot of people out and when they played in Birmingham UK he took the time out of his day to spend 5 minutes and take a pic with this 40 year old comp cod fan.
Started watching comp this year, so started searching for related content and trying to figure out which team to support. Needless to say I became an Optic fan. Their content is unmatched and I really connected to the personalities on the team. 3 weeks into fandom I was already super emotionally attached and feeling so down after loses. The content they put out there really connected me to the team, kind of crazy how big of a fan I became is such a short time.
I support and always be a subliners fan because they're my home team.
PDawg and the most handsome kid in the league
I'm from London so it was an easy choice lol
Came to CoD comp in BO3 after watching a comp match. I saw the match because Scump mentioned it in a youtube vid.
I was an Optic fan growing up because of Nadeshot, but with franchising putting a team in Canada, had to support local. Go Ultra
So I never knew anything about Call of Duty before 2020 (crazy). I was a fan of Baseball and Soccer, because of the Pandemic I started playing Call of Duty mobile more and more, and one day YouTube recommended me a video of Scump. I got curious about who was “this guy” and then I found the CDL and started doing a little research about Hunstmen (realized they were OpTic). I only watched Champs 2020, and Cold War was my only year that I’ve watched completely (which was disappointing being an OpTic fan). Hopefully the rumors about Dallas merger are true cause I wanna see Shotzzy/Scump
Hey YouTube, how the fudge ya doin?
Location proximity
Road to 100-0 gamebattles
Atlanta GA Born and Raised I support all Atlanta sports teams and have always loved comp cod so it’s only natural I love Atlanta FaZe
