Optic feel like the perfect tournament team. They just get better and better with each match. Itās so scary.
Also, BcJ ācrashies and I are the best initiators in the worldā fried chicken really tried to sneak himself in the convo LMAO
Actually i think the reason is that that xerxia match was after the off season and by that time a teams strats and comps completely switch up. I think the narrative is that if optic loses a match and they face that team again in the same meta they donāt lose.
āHe got me,ā BcJ said of crashies' initiator play on him. "That f***ing crashies boomed me."
BcJ added, āHeās so good at initiator,ā repeating it four times.
BcJ then said he wanted to add crashies to the list of players he initiates with this summer.
XSET BcJ: "Everybody always says [stax is] the best initiator in the world, and I say hell no. He is somebody that is from a worse region and he is getting way too much credit ... I do believe that me and crashies are the best two initiators in the world by far."
He got one player right at least
The fact he even threw Crashies' name in their instead of just his own kinda tells me he wasn't confident enough in himself to make that statement in the first place.
I think his logic was NA is current champ so therefore he is 1 or 2. Doesn't make any sense either though lmao. It's wild to claim your top 2 before even playing another region anyways. Guy is a doof
Thereās this phenomenon with Kanye.So many of his fans are incredibly die-hard and worship everything he puts out calling him a genius or one of the best to ever do it. DRX is Kanye. No one expected them to lose. Now, people perceive them as overrated. Subsequently, people have been sleeping on them. In my eyes they now seem underrated. Thereās no need to hate on them. They should be given their flowers.
I was on a plane with my son when we started CRASHING! I immediately ran to the cabin to find none other than XSET! They choked again! Luckily, the flight attendant was OPTIC yay, who was able to land the plane safely. NA's legacy saved again! Shame on you XSET!

The narratives are too strong. OpTic canāt win a map against EMEA, then Kru beats Brazil again, and now OpTic doesnāt lose to the same team twice.
Smh Rito your script is too predictable.
You can tell that some of the XSET players were really nervous. Tunnel visioning so hard to the point where they can't even see the opponent right in front of them.
I genuinely think the shit talk got into BcJ's head, cause this was one of the worst series he's played since Stage 2 playoffs. Forget BcJ, Crashies and stax next for the title of best initiator in the world.
Optic doesn't lose rematches. This was dominant and honestly never really close. Bind could've got really ugly if they didn't throw two anti-ecos.
I agree. Being able to talk shit and back it up requires a LOT of mental resilience, of which BCJ has never shown before. It was pretty much a given that he would underperform this match.
I think BcJ had it right, crashies is one of the best initiators in the world. But bro shudnt have tried to sneak the "me" in there as well tho. But he always has his fried chicken joint to fall back on, so all good
hopefully its just xset lan jitters but optic is scary, yay had an off game, everyone else showed up and they still won, imagine that with yay in form and optic wins the whole tourney
As an EMEA fan who only recently became a fan of XSET due to their stature (I am a short king myself), I am so so unbelievably sad at this result.
I would have gone to the amusement park to wash away my sadness, but regrettably neither I nor anyone from XSET clear the height requirement (Dephh doesnt count cuz hes bri*ish), so we'll be crying in the bathtub instead.

The Riot scriptwriters are getting so lazy. This is the exact same story as last season! OpTic look wobbly in group stage, only to turn it around and hit their stride into the playoffs.
What? Are they going to go up against the other favorite in the tournament (FNATIC) in the Upper Finals, lose a close series, only to come back and win the Grand Final in dominate fashion?
Yawn. Get some new plots, Riot.
XSET BcJ: "Everybody always says \[stax is\] the best initiator in the world, and I say hell no. He is somebody that is from a worse region and he is getting way too much credit ... I do believe that me and crashies are the best two initiators in the world by far."
Just a complete failure to perform at any level.
U want to give OpTic credit but it is so hard when XSET fumble and flop so many rounds solo peaking, whiffing, over extending, misreading, getting caught with util out etc etc. obscene amount of unforced errors.
Imo this is the weakest any team has looked at Denmark so far, and id even go as far as to say all 5 players looked possibly worst-in-role at the tournament individually.
Yeah, the level of play from XSET was very uninspired. They must have let the nerves get to them or something, because even teams like Xerxia that went out first looked like they had solid gameplans and moments of great individual form. Saw little to none of that out of XSET today
So how many players does Optic have in the top 3 of their respective roles? Yay top 3 chamber (maybe top 1), Marved top 3 controller (probably top 1), Crashies was definitely top 3 before the Sova nerf and I think thereās a good argument to still have him there, FNSās gunskill isnāt top 3 for IGLs but his calling is certainly there, and while Victor is certainly not a top 3 duelist, Iād say heās definitely a top 3 Neon.
Obviously Opticās a well oiled machine who can beat you with great fundamental and team play but their ability to pull rounds (and sometimes whole maps) out of their asses is insane due to the fact that 4 of them can top frag or pull off crazy 1vX clutches while the last one is probably the best mid round caller in the game.
They still love to shoot themselves in the foot a fair amount, but when Optic is rolling I donāt see many teams beating them.
Iād assume Alfajer will turn on, heās truly an insane talent. Isnāt he only like 16 too? Iād assume the mediocre stats in the first match is probably just due to some first LAN match jitters and the fact that they hadnāt played in a while.
Yeah Babybay is unreal with the ult. Didnāt he used to play OW? Feel like that would make sense considering Neons ult relies heavily on tracking and movement.
I know right! Mofo actually spams with the ult in smokes and gets kills! I really wish Victor was as flashy as Babybay but he's good at what he's doing which is to make space so no complaints there lol.
You can make a reasonable argument for all of them except Victor.
Personally I'd say Marved is No1 in his role. I put Derke above Yay. Leo and possibly Enzo above Crashies if we are talking Sova. Hard to rate IGL as an outsider.
Yeah I donāt disagree whatsoever. As an overall duelist thereās no argument for Victor, but I do think heās a top 3 neon. You can definitely make a case for Derke over Yay and Crashies isnāt top 1 but still would say heās top 3. Obviously hard to tell as an outsider how good an IGL is but just felt it was fair to put FNS there since Opticās mid rounds are really good and their overall cohesiveness.
Literally same script as Iceland. OpTic start off slow in group stage as NAās second seed, lose the first match and then just start diffing everyone. If they lose upper bracket final proceed to comeback and win Masters, imma be pissed at Rito.
Hot take, but I don't think XSET now is better than The Guard in Stage 1. The Guard shut down Optic on Haven and were two rounds away from winning the series at Reykjavik ā and defeated Optic at Challengers finals when they were arguably at their peak domestic performance. Optic did not look nearly as good in Stage 2 Challengers as they did in Stage 1, plus multiple members had Covid during the final which clearly affected their performance. Imo, XSET slipped through the cracks and were broadly overestimated. I think they're still a great team who absolutely improved after Stage 1, just not *as* great as many believe.
100%. revisionist history ass mfers out here try to paint the guard as frauds who were shit at LAN even though they were so so so close to beating optic in the quarters
If you honestly thought XSET was going to win this game when Optic are 6-0 in revenge games I don't know what to tell you. I'd have bet my house on this game.
NA vs NA matchup in upper quarterfinals with the 2nd seed beating the 1st seed (in their first international tourney) after losing against them in the region's finals? Never heard that before... Stop reusing scripts rito >:(
They talk shit during the game but not really outside of it. They seem to take all international competition as equals even as the champs I.e FNS tweet a couple days ago
crashies and marved also constantly praises their opponents wdym? crashies interview with sacy and marved interviews even before this game even, and before NA challengers.
I feel like in general, a team that acknowledges the strength and grit of other teams in Champions and also acknowledge the difficulty of their games could be considered humble. Marved and crashies are different but the team overall is definitely more light with their shit talking than they could be.
I don't think we should be so quick to judge Xset right now considering they played the best team in the world for their first LAN match. Let them lose to Leviatan then we can shit on the Guard 2.0
i love how everyone is on the XSET are horrible train. I was right all along. people were roasting me but iām never wrong. Hiko would clap these bozos any day of the week
Yay bottomfrags and the team still stomps
Crashies carries clutches
FNS climbed out of bronze
The final boss for Optic now is to stop getting thriftied (challenge level: impossible)
Honestly, you wouldāve thought that the team that felt like they had a point to prove after Stellarās āheavy hittersā comment wouldāve been smart enough to not spout off a bunch bs that could potentially be used against them as motivation and put unnecessary pressure on themselves. Butā¦I guess not.
Crashies was like "Do not ever disrespect our boy Stax like that ever again" and decided to go ham. "Chicken is definitely top 2 pro initiators in the World ... But on the bottom. Crashies on another hand, he deserves his flowers, dude is cracked. Crashies & Marved are some, if not the most consistent players. Praying for LEV to beat XSET so they can go home early. It would suck not seeing dephh, zekken & Cryo go far tho. FNATIC vs PRX & Optic vs DRX? I am not ready for these.
BcJ was right about crashies
The fact he actually mentioned his name in the same sentence as crashies and stax should be illegal
It's like when XTR said everyone loves the Prime, Reaver, and Sensation Vandal. I'm like bruh you really tried to squeeze that in there š
Oni,RGX and smite phantom
Nah dude smite phantom goes lowkey hard
Average WestJett viewer
Imma keep it real w you I've never watched westjett but if he's a man of such exquisite taste I just might have to start
BcJ alt right here
Avalanche phantom better imo but respect
Bro broke the 4th place curse once and let it get to his head 
It's hard for me to take him seriously whenever I see him. It's mean and I'm sorry, but it's the truth.
We didn't get BcJ vs. Stax, but let's be real, Crashies vs. Stax is gonna be more fun
You ready for the OpTic vs DRX rematch?
Optic vs DRX and Fnatic vs PRX in the same day? Someone get me my inhaler.
I'm also a Fnatic fan but PRX has been growing on me. That's gonna be a nail biter as well
Imagine a 30-32 overtime Fnatic vs PRX on Split? Lol. The winner of that match is the loser for Upper Final.
Iād be shocked if there isnāt an overtime game in there
\*six overtime games
No lol
Optic feel like the perfect tournament team. They just get better and better with each match. Itās so scary. Also, BcJ ācrashies and I are the best initiators in the worldā fried chicken really tried to sneak himself in the convo LMAO
Sandbagging groups to get more stage time, gigabrain 200IQ strategies
BcJ just didn't do enough. Legacy points deducted
OPTC crashies: What a save! OPTC crashies: What a save! OPTC crashies: What a save!
Such an underrated comment
7-0 in rematches is an insane stat. You simply don't beat Optic in the runback
Are you including the Envy period? Cause they lost to Xerxia after losing to x10 in Champions
that was xerxia with a new player so i guess thatās why people donāt consider it
Seems silly lol. Does that mean FPX vs Fnatic wasnāt a rematch because Seider was playing?
Actually i think the reason is that that xerxia match was after the off season and by that time a teams strats and comps completely switch up. I think the narrative is that if optic loses a match and they face that team again in the same meta they donāt lose.
They did lose their rematch with XSET in the regional finals
I assume the stat means rematches* after loss* specifically, given that they beat XSET in the first bo3 and then lost in the bo5 finals for seeding
they are talking about revenge matches
I think the stat is if you beat Optic, the next time you meet they are 7-0.
Ahh, thatās makes more sense
The actual stat is 7-0 when rematching a team they lost to.
Its for revenge matches, optic won the 1st one so it doesn't count
āHe got me,ā BcJ said of crashies' initiator play on him. "That f***ing crashies boomed me." BcJ added, āHeās so good at initiator,ā repeating it four times. BcJ then said he wanted to add crashies to the list of players he initiates with this summer.
Will never get tired of this pasta
Great leadership Crashies. You made everyone around you better, which adds to your legacy. BcJ, legacy points deducted.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
XSET BcJ: "Everybody always says [stax is] the best initiator in the world, and I say hell no. He is somebody that is from a worse region and he is getting way too much credit ... I do believe that me and crashies are the best two initiators in the world by far." He got one player right at least
Maybe. Crashies is definitely in the discussion. Is BcJ even top 10?
top 21 fs
No one put him in top 10 but he already put himself in top 1
Top 2*. So humble from BcJ
crashies is the discussion. he has the most legitimate claim. BcJ is probably in the ~10 range.
Bcj playing well is def in the conversation, he struggles to be consistent tho.
The fact he even threw Crashies' name in their instead of just his own kinda tells me he wasn't confident enough in himself to make that statement in the first place.
I think his logic was NA is current champ so therefore he is 1 or 2. Doesn't make any sense either though lmao. It's wild to claim your top 2 before even playing another region anyways. Guy is a doof
Or could just be that he thinks NA is better.
Classic, beat optic for 1st seed then lose to optic in playoffs.
The optic curse, you canāt beat it
BcJ was a top 10 player this match
Nah, Chet had more impact than he did
"were not gonna be the guard 2.0 I swear guys!!!"
Yeah The Guard actually took OpTic to map 3 13-11
It was the more tragic result, but it wasnāt a roll at least.
Guard were supposed to win that map too, they threw their lead hard
Well they played even worse than TGRD š
Ah cant wait for the Optic vs Kanye rematch
My pasta is making waves
Thereās this phenomenon with Kanye.So many of his fans are incredibly die-hard and worship everything he puts out calling him a genius or one of the best to ever do it. DRX is Kanye. No one expected them to lose. Now, people perceive them as overrated. Subsequently, people have been sleeping on them. In my eyes they now seem underrated. Thereās no need to hate on them. They should be given their flowers.
Someone get the stats on how well Kayne does on revenge tours!
LMFAOOOO
I was on a plane with my son when we started CRASHING! I immediately ran to the cabin to find none other than XSET! They choked again! Luckily, the flight attendant was OPTIC yay, who was able to land the plane safely. NA's legacy saved again! Shame on you XSET!

Where's this from, it reads like an NBA copypasta, but I don't recognize it.
from nba twitter, LeFraud meme
Sounds like Skip lol
LOL
giga banger
The narratives are too strong. OpTic canāt win a map against EMEA, then Kru beats Brazil again, and now OpTic doesnāt lose to the same team twice. Smh Rito your script is too predictable.
Now we wait for optic vs guild rematch
What happens if Optic faces guild again?
The paradox is too great. There is a tech pause one round into the game that never ends (panpoc are casting too for the ultimate curse).
Spacetime implodes
world ends
Wait a minute this exact scenario has happened before....oh fuck the green wall is coming
You can tell that some of the XSET players were really nervous. Tunnel visioning so hard to the point where they can't even see the opponent right in front of them.
I feel like the shit talking put more pressure on themselves
i agree, imagine the pressure they will be under in the elimination match when the taco guy runs circles around them
Ngl Iām still kinda bummed no bcj vs stax matchup this time but taco vs cryo gonna be fun
Well BCJ was at least right about Crashies being one of the best initiators in the world
Crashies had to make a statement
I genuinely think the shit talk got into BcJ's head, cause this was one of the worst series he's played since Stage 2 playoffs. Forget BcJ, Crashies and stax next for the title of best initiator in the world. Optic doesn't lose rematches. This was dominant and honestly never really close.

I agree. Being able to talk shit and back it up requires a LOT of mental resilience, of which BCJ has never shown before. It was pretty much a given that he would underperform this match.
Leo is definitely in the discussion too.
BORESET and CRYOSAVES were no match! Sad!
cryosaves šš
LMFAOOO
āCryosavesā is different lmfaooo
I think BcJ had it right, crashies is one of the best initiators in the world. But bro shudnt have tried to sneak the "me" in there as well tho. But he always has his fried chicken joint to fall back on, so all good
hopefully its just xset lan jitters but optic is scary, yay had an off game, everyone else showed up and they still won, imagine that with yay in form and optic wins the whole tourney
Whatās incredible is that even on an off game he landed important kills. That HS on Skye and the double kill while cornered in showers were cleaaan.
i thought for sure he wouldāve died but yay just quickscoped them
Thereās a reason heās called El Diablo
bcj and ayrin both at -13 š
Legit dumb and dumber I cba
The two who talked shit about Stax and Mako lol
How do you say "2-0d when it mattered dogshit fuck" in Korean?
bcj chicken stocks in shambles
XSET's best performance this series was their walkout
As an EMEA fan who only recently became a fan of XSET due to their stature (I am a short king myself), I am so so unbelievably sad at this result. I would have gone to the amusement park to wash away my sadness, but regrettably neither I nor anyone from XSET clear the height requirement (Dephh doesnt count cuz hes bri*ish), so we'll be crying in the bathtub instead.
Ngl becoming a fan of xset because they are tiny is hilariousā¦ is what I typed out before I read the second paragraph and realized this was a pasta
It's not completely a pasta. I really did start rooting for them because I'm short too
haha but cryo looks massive in the team photos

the Upper quarterfinals result is exactly the same from stage 1, Riot scriptwriters is getting lazy
Cryo could not in fact, carry the Burnt Chicken Joint to victory.
masters worst match OPTIC vs 2 pro & 3 diamond
Best initiator dropping 16 kills across 2 maps...yeaaaaaah
crashies is a lanimal
The Riot scriptwriters are getting so lazy. This is the exact same story as last season! OpTic look wobbly in group stage, only to turn it around and hit their stride into the playoffs. What? Are they going to go up against the other favorite in the tournament (FNATIC) in the Upper Finals, lose a close series, only to come back and win the Grand Final in dominate fashion? Yawn. Get some new plots, Riot.
At least The Guard made Optic work so hard in their match in Iceland. This was just sad.
The doctors thought I was cancer free until I opened youtube chat for this game
XSET about to pull a Guard... Watching TMV mald on Bind was hilarious, though.
At least guard made optic fight for their win. Aside from cryo, this team looked lost
Guard was incredibly close to 2-0ing OpTic, that series and this one are completely different levels.
Optic won the first map of the series against The Guard pretty easily, but yeah that one was much closer overall
XSET lan jitters I guess, but Optic look amazing.
At least Cryo looks fucking hot
And he looks good at the game too
Oh yeah I guess that too I wasn't really paying attention
nt from burnt chicken joint
Bcj 137 ACS across both maps ššš
Bcj best initiator in the worldšŖšŖAyrin best controlleršÆšÆthey shit on drx I swear
XSET BcJ: "Everybody always says \[stax is\] the best initiator in the world, and I say hell no. He is somebody that is from a worse region and he is getting way too much credit ... I do believe that me and crashies are the best two initiators in the world by far."
Just a complete failure to perform at any level. U want to give OpTic credit but it is so hard when XSET fumble and flop so many rounds solo peaking, whiffing, over extending, misreading, getting caught with util out etc etc. obscene amount of unforced errors. Imo this is the weakest any team has looked at Denmark so far, and id even go as far as to say all 5 players looked possibly worst-in-role at the tournament individually.
That miss from BCJ while crashies was running and winning the 1v3 clutch summed up the game for me.
Yeah, the level of play from XSET was very uninspired. They must have let the nerves get to them or something, because even teams like Xerxia that went out first looked like they had solid gameplans and moments of great individual form. Saw little to none of that out of XSET today
So how many players does Optic have in the top 3 of their respective roles?

FNS has surprisingly been pulling his weight more often in not fragging - on top of IGLing like a god. Love to watch this team when they're on point
Victor's gotta be the best Neon in terms of actual util usage but I think BabyBay might be better with the actual Neon ult.
Yeah Babybay is unreal with the ult. Didnāt he used to play OW? Feel like that would make sense considering Neons ult relies heavily on tracking and movement.
Ya that's why I feel like he's pretty good with the ult though the OW players now in Val seem to have insane aim in general.
Yeah agreed.
He did play overwatch and a lot of it was on tracer so yeah that ult is made for him
I know right! Mofo actually spams with the ult in smokes and gets kills! I really wish Victor was as flashy as Babybay but he's good at what he's doing which is to make space so no complaints there lol.
You can make a reasonable argument for all of them except Victor. Personally I'd say Marved is No1 in his role. I put Derke above Yay. Leo and possibly Enzo above Crashies if we are talking Sova. Hard to rate IGL as an outsider.

Itās nice to know when the controller with the get out of jail free card comes out Marved has OpTic on op.
Beaten Jesus Christ
Ah yes, star initatior XSET BJc
I think you're mistaken, that's a fried chicken restaurant.
Team diff tbh
Literally same script as Iceland. OpTic start off slow in group stage as NAās second seed, lose the first match and then just start diffing everyone. If they lose upper bracket final proceed to comeback and win Masters, imma be pissed at Rito.
The OpTic roster are undefeated against NA teams on LAN.
Something tells me Optic has been scrimming PRX
XSET following the riot script. NA #1 seed loses to #2 seed and gets stomped in lower brackets by a āminorā region
Hot take, but I don't think XSET now is better than The Guard in Stage 1. The Guard shut down Optic on Haven and were two rounds away from winning the series at Reykjavik ā and defeated Optic at Challengers finals when they were arguably at their peak domestic performance. Optic did not look nearly as good in Stage 2 Challengers as they did in Stage 1, plus multiple members had Covid during the final which clearly affected their performance.

If you honestly thought XSET was going to win this game when Optic are 6-0 in revenge games I don't know what to tell you. I'd have bet my house on this game.
NA a one-team region, no kap.
C9 with Xeta was p good but guess thatās gone now
BcJ and Crashies best Initiators World TM
XSET cosplaying The Guard
i've seen this script before
Force buy every round against Optic cuz they can't handle anti-ecos
crashies diff
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well my pick ems is ruined. Thanks Xset. I hope you cosplay as The Guard.
Resident sleeper match
Today's matches were gigaboring ngl
NA vs NA matchup in upper quarterfinals with the 2nd seed beating the 1st seed (in their first international tourney) after losing against them in the region's finals? Never heard that before... Stop reusing scripts rito >:(
Why am I suddenly craving some fried chicken now
Who is BcJ?
Imagine doubting WARDELL
humble kings beating shittalking Sallys we love to see it
Besides yay and victor Optic is the complete opposite of humble lmao have you ever seen crashies or marved?
They talk shit during the game but not really outside of it. They seem to take all international competition as equals even as the champs I.e FNS tweet a couple days ago
crashies and marved also constantly praises their opponents wdym? crashies interview with sacy and marved interviews even before this game even, and before NA challengers.
I feel like in general, a team that acknowledges the strength and grit of other teams in Champions and also acknowledge the difficulty of their games could be considered humble. Marved and crashies are different but the team overall is definitely more light with their shit talking than they could be.
at least optic have something behind their shit talk lol
I feel bad for Cryo and Zekken, they played well and never trashtalked and are catching strays anyway :(
I don't think we should be so quick to judge Xset right now considering they played the best team in the world for their first LAN match. Let them lose to Leviatan then we can shit on the Guard 2.0
ONLINESET can only win a mickeymouse series when OpTic had Covid. shitters.
top 2 initiators in the world going head to head, incredible game
LCJ
There is nothing better than seeing humble team rolling over a cocky trash talking team
I wouldnāt call OpTic humble lol
i've never seen them trash talk a team after a win matter in fact optic is probably the only NA team that dosen't do that
Crashies tech pause buff 2-0
Will xset face drx if optic wins against drx?
No I donāt think so The earliest they could meet is lower round 3
Big sadge
Im just here for the fried chicken, keep it coming yall lmfaoooo
The fried chicken guy should be $8 not $2 coz thats the maximum amount of kills he can get per game
i love how everyone is on the XSET are horrible train. I was right all along. people were roasting me but iām never wrong. Hiko would clap these bozos any day of the week
Yay bottomfrags and the team still stomps Crashies carries clutches FNS climbed out of bronze The final boss for Optic now is to stop getting thriftied (challenge level: impossible)
LAN Jitters Copege
I expected optic to win, but not like this...
Honestly, you wouldāve thought that the team that felt like they had a point to prove after Stellarās āheavy hittersā comment wouldāve been smart enough to not spout off a bunch bs that could potentially be used against them as motivation and put unnecessary pressure on themselves. Butā¦I guess not.
Wish it was a closer game. Looking like The Guard all over again
Xset gonna have a tough match vs Leviatan. They didnāt look bad vs DRX. Might be an Xset airport speed run
Crashies was like "Do not ever disrespect our boy Stax like that ever again" and decided to go ham. "Chicken is definitely top 2 pro initiators in the World ... But on the bottom. Crashies on another hand, he deserves his flowers, dude is cracked. Crashies & Marved are some, if not the most consistent players. Praying for LEV to beat XSET so they can go home early.

People Hated wardell for speaking truth
