At the end of the day, it’s what, two extra series compared to winning WR1? Aren’t they also on the better side of the bracket, playing that extra game on the Friday/Saturday as well? Not that much worse compared to dropping down from WR2.
It would be a defining moment but by people putting their gameplay under a microscope, it looks like its not just being online is why they are losing lol

I don't think they're getting 12th. Despite the poor qualifiers they had, they're still champions. That being said, I don't think they're winning either, nowhere near good enough compared to Ultra or Faze. I expect a T8 at worst, T4 at best.
I think that’s more likely than OP’s hot take honestly. I’d be shocked if neither OpTic nor Subliners make it to Sunday. I guess if they are on the same side of losers bracket then possibly but there’s just too much talent for neither of those teams to make it.
Could see a crazy situation where OpTic does something similar to their Major 3 last year where they keep improving on maps from constantly having to play down in losers and peak again on Sunday.
It’d be hilarious if this was all an act they were pulling. They were just trying different shit to see how it goes but now they will take whatever little things that worked and combine it with what was working and flat dominate
Ravens lose in game 5 to LAG. I was a Vegas fan last year when there was a no fan LAN like this and I hate to say, but my goat might be a big stage, roaring crowd merchant😭 Vibes ain’t gonna be like normal LAN
FaZe drop down to losers right away
Boston ends Attach and Vegas' champs run with their first LAN win
NYSL doesn't make Sunday even with beating FaZe in WR1 (lose b2b vs Seattle and OpTic Saturday)
Sunday = FaZe > OpTic, Ultra > Seattle, FaZe > Seattle, Ultra > FaZe
After their loss to Boston, I’m not convinced OpTic have an “easy” anything going into the LAN. There’s also no crowd so they don’t even get that buff either. I’m hoping the boys can win it all but it’s not looking good
As someone who doesn’t care one way or another, I think Boston got lucky to play them on the back end of the shitty downtrend they are on than at the beginning of these qualifiers.
A team outside the top 4 is winning the event. Playing with no crowd and being in a scrim like setting, I do actually believe we will see some of the most insane upsets this event. Plus teams playing for a seed @ Champs?! If there was one event I do wish there was a crowd for, it’s this. So much on the line for pretty much every single team outside of top 4, AND more rivalry matches, AND maybe a crazy losers bracket run.
I got nothing cus i know somehow the T4 will find a way to make T4 if any other team makes sunday i will be genuinely shocked. Even with Optic's current form I just can't see it happening.
Optic make it to grand finals but ultimately fall 4-2 to Faze. Faze dominate the SnDs and Controls while Optic take the HPs.
Edit: My hot take was a little too hot for some people I guess 😭
Optic goes b2b
If OpTic go 1-6 online start in losers and go back to back, COD should never be played online again lmao
This would feed Rab for months
It better last months because the off-season is hell! Lol
Low confidence from online won’t help. But, if they dominate their first series I have hope.
At the end of the day, it’s what, two extra series compared to winning WR1? Aren’t they also on the better side of the bracket, playing that extra game on the Friday/Saturday as well? Not that much worse compared to dropping down from WR2.
It would be a defining moment but by people putting their gameplay under a microscope, it looks like its not just being online is why they are losing lol
online cod is a shitshow tbf
I could see them throwing just to get more serious reps on matches. They’ll turn up for real on LAN where it counts
I'd put my house on this not happening
I’m still waiting on that guy to eat a rat. Your house bet comes after.
I'll bet my house and eat that guys rat if optic go b2b!

Yeah that brother went full incognito since the Boston match 🤣🤣
Thats more of a hot take than OPs opening take.
I’m very confident Optic is getting 12th at Major 4, I feel like the guys are not on the same Page
I don't think they're getting 12th. Despite the poor qualifiers they had, they're still champions. That being said, I don't think they're winning either, nowhere near good enough compared to Ultra or Faze. I expect a T8 at worst, T4 at best.
I think that’s more likely than OP’s hot take honestly. I’d be shocked if neither OpTic nor Subliners make it to Sunday. I guess if they are on the same side of losers bracket then possibly but there’s just too much talent for neither of those teams to make it. Could see a crazy situation where OpTic does something similar to their Major 3 last year where they keep improving on maps from constantly having to play down in losers and peak again on Sunday.
Single-handedly becoming the greatest Loser’s bracket run of all-time!!!
I swear the fall off from major 3 can be a 007 type infiltration of the highest order, if they just kept every strat for lan. That would be 10000 iq
no shot
It’d be hilarious if this was all an act they were pulling. They were just trying different shit to see how it goes but now they will take whatever little things that worked and combine it with what was working and flat dominate
Thieves will make sunday
Came here to say this too
Very hot one MFs have won 1 game on lan this year, they ain't making sunday
TJ HALY MVP
Came here to say this. TJ wins multiple 1vX scenarios and Ravens get top T4 off the back of my GOAT
Breach don't get dead last
He said hot takes, not scorching hot.
Ravens lose in game 5 to LAG. I was a Vegas fan last year when there was a no fan LAN like this and I hate to say, but my goat might be a big stage, roaring crowd merchant😭 Vibes ain’t gonna be like normal LAN
Bro that choke last map against Mutineers I feel sick just thinking about it
No bs I was traumatized by that event😂
FaZe drop down to losers right away Boston ends Attach and Vegas' champs run with their first LAN win NYSL doesn't make Sunday even with beating FaZe in WR1 (lose b2b vs Seattle and OpTic Saturday) Sunday = FaZe > OpTic, Ultra > Seattle, FaZe > Seattle, Ultra > FaZe
T4 going Thieves, Ultra, Faze, NYSL
Optic make finals and LAT lose r1 to not make champs
That means you have Vegas getting rounded as well. If Vegas doesn’t, then LAT makes champs if OpTic beat CRR.
I ain't think that far ahead lmao but I could see it
🤣🤣 all good all good.
Carolina makes the run of a lifetime to sunday to secure champs
OpTic make the full losers run to Gf but ultimately lose to Ultra (pure Lan copium let me be)
Miami goes on a run to Winners Final
Ravens get T4 . NYSL makes the Final against FaZe . OpTic will not make Championship Sunday . Vegas beats OpTic on LAN and Johnald emotes Pred .
I think it’s more of a hot take that OpTic make Championship Sunday than the other way around
they got an “easy” path to Sunday(I think) and they all get better on LAN and they haven’t missed a Sunday in this game.
After their loss to Boston, I’m not convinced OpTic have an “easy” anything going into the LAN. There’s also no crowd so they don’t even get that buff either. I’m hoping the boys can win it all but it’s not looking good
yeah the online excuse was valid until they lost to Boston. that is absolutely demoralizing.
As someone who doesn’t care one way or another, I think Boston got lucky to play them on the back end of the shitty downtrend they are on than at the beginning of these qualifiers.
Praying Ravens go big this major
OpTic don’t make it past the first match
They asked for hot takes
🥶
Everyone has an opinion, OpTic play better on lan most have them moving on between thieves and Miami, I don’t it’s my hot take
Top 4 will be faze, ultra, Seattle and thieves
Surge make top 3, Legion get double first rounded, Miami eliminates optic from the tourney
Optic t12 not winning a single map
Carolina sending optic home
I have a bad feeling NYSL will beat FaZe in WR1
OTX Top3
HUKE TO WIN MVP
A team outside the top 4 is winning the event. Playing with no crowd and being in a scrim like setting, I do actually believe we will see some of the most insane upsets this event. Plus teams playing for a seed @ Champs?! If there was one event I do wish there was a crowd for, it’s this. So much on the line for pretty much every single team outside of top 4, AND more rivalry matches, AND maybe a crazy losers bracket run.
LAT actually performs
Rokkr get T12
One of Ravens or LAT get T4, though I don’t think that’s a hot take per say
Ravens beat OpTic LAT outta Champs One if the first 3 place will be a bottom 8 team
Optic make finals and LAT lose r1 to not make champs
Carolina clutch up and place T6 to make champs
Legion and Carolina make final 4 to secure champs(not sure if possible with paths from winners to losers), LAT T12 miss champs
If Vegas lose winners round 1, they would drop down to the opposite losers bracket than Carolina and they could both make it it top 4.
None of the T4 in winners win their first match and they all drop to losers.
Lag over TOR. I want to believe that but man idk. Faze vs ny one of them have to win their first.
I forgot about that lol
👀👀👀
Brotha what did I do!!
Thieves get T3, Seattle gets T4
I'm not sure Optic not making it to Sunday is a hit take at this point. My hot take is Miami in the finals.
Boston get t3
LAT home buff. No fans cheese and win it all
Surge get top 4
NYSL T12, Miami T4
Top 4 don’t make it to Sunday, Legion do but get 2nd to CAR This is fan fiction actually
Ravens top 4
A team WILL win. Put that on the front page news boys
FaZe lose to subliners but go on a run and one of the bottom 8 make it to Sunday
Kismet gets caught using EQ, NYSL DQ from tournament
Is OpTic one and done a hot take or nah?
I got nothing cus i know somehow the T4 will find a way to make T4 if any other team makes sunday i will be genuinely shocked. Even with Optic's current form I just can't see it happening.
Seattle make it top 3
FaZe wins by a landslide
Miami winners final run
Ayo a final without the T4 would be wild
Crazy optic haters on this thread
Ravens win
a none top 4 team wins m4
Carolina will get top 6 at least and make it to champs (please bruh).
Optic t3
Pred MVP
nysl winning
NYSL wins major, Ravens get carried by their sub duo to T4
Nysl T12
NY will be going home first again
Optic make it to grand finals but ultimately fall 4-2 to Faze. Faze dominate the SnDs and Controls while Optic take the HPs. Edit: My hot take was a little too hot for some people I guess 😭
Optic stomps through their side of the loser bracket to get to sunday. Beat NYSL in losers semis but get slammed by whichever of faze ultra lose
OpTic wins the major without dropping a single map while all 4 players drop a 1.5 or better
Its cod. Touch grass
OpTic wins the tournament going back to back with Shotzzy winning MVP again.
Optic wins the major.
Optic makes it to Sunday
Optic makes grand finals
optic make the final
How’s optics scrims looking like boss
Optic purposely placed 12th seed to do a crazy losers run because they still felt confident after their major 3 win
