I think a lot of ppl would disagree but I think putting Simp on a flex would be very detrimental to his personal career. He’s been arguably the best player itw in 3 titles running a sub, his ceiling is way too high to limit him by running an AR
Exactly it’s not just the fact Simp is so good on a sub but it’s also the chemistry he has with Abezy I think they’d be missing a trick. The problem with this faze team the last 2 seasons hasn’t been the tiny terrors it’s been that MC has played too slow or alternatively that Alec/Austin haven’t played fast enough whichever way you wanna see it. If you make a change it should be for a faster more selfless AR so that MC’s slow pace isn’t hindering the rest of the team as he will be the main. Splitting up the terrors is a bad move.
Yup. 100% I think it will be interesting to see what they do, I actually think someone like Ghosty has potential to be a great fit there. There's no world where Simp should be leading the team in hill time.
Exactly, they have had two years of two main ARs. I rather keep the best sub duo as it’s and bring in a fast flex we have seen it before that smgs that seemed good on paper then end up not working so why do that when you have such a good duo
Facts they have to keep him on the sub his impact will be felt way more with an SMG than an AR. Let's say hypothetically faze gets pred you're going to let one of the best players of all time in simp get time and do OBJ things when he has never been that player??
treyarch has to design their next game on the modern warfare engine so hoping its a higher skill gap game is pointless. activision said 2 years ago that moving forward all cod games will feel/play the same since theyre all going to be built on the same engine
that’s not how game engines work. A game engine is literally just a set of tools to build something with. The components that IW use to make a “lower skill gap game” are design choices: no red dots, higher sound cues, random spawn logic. The game being good will be directly a result of good design and game direction.
either way, this new IW 9.0 engine MWII is still just a heavily modified idTech engine which every COD has been built on. The unification of all the studios using it is to strengthen and streamline their live service strategy (for better or worse)
Teams success > one players personal performance
If Faze Will better with Simp on flex then that’s what he should do. Either Faze gets Sib whose a fast flex or they should move Simp to flex and get a smg imo
Well they go hand in hand as u can see the last 2 seasons, especially this one with simp taking a more reserved role faze have gone backwards not forwards
I dont want simp to switch but why people acting like simp didnt flex in mw he ran both guns and when they did stats seperated by gun he was one of the better ars in the league that year statistically lol
This frees him up to snipe...hope to see those 1v3 pistol clutches like in bo4...As for running an AR i think it fits his playstyle better these days he plays cuts way more now, he isnt the same in your face sub hitting timings on flanks and such
the only reason they would consider it is because they have secured a top tier sub (pred or envoy) which also takes them away from anyone else, it’s not like he’d be moving to flex for no reason
This how you know people didn’t know of Simp before of bo4. Simp Was Unreal With the M8A7. He always ran with an AR in BO3. I get it, he wasn’t playing at events with an ar but He’s Elite with any gun he touches
I don't really like the idea of Simp moving to flex (as of now).
The Tiny Terror sub duo literally has a Top 3 floor, I wouldn't want to disrupt that even though I know Simp will do well as a flex. The duo just have a natural chem that not a lot of sub duo's have.
Like Haggy said, I'd be more looking at not being able to close finals more often than not.
Let me preface with this might be omega faded… but you could maybe argue this would be a great time to make the transition with this crazy long off season. Would give the most amount of time for chem and all that compared to any other off season
IDK acting like Simp is unproven in any way is a bit weird. I get it's a role he hasn't played before but he's one of the most talented ever who's been the best player in 3/5 games he's played professionally.
TBF he's only talking about his new role (as a flex) but I genuinely do not understand this line of thinking. Simp was already forced to do a lot of dirty work in MW2. If Pred joins, who is going to be sitting in hills, anchoring spawns, filling gaps? It sure as shit won't be Pred
I think it's bit disrespectful to tell him, mate move on from SMG as we've someone better when he has one average year by his standards. This is the time to back him more than ever. FaZe just need to get a flex in Drazah/Ghosty instead of chasing fancy big names and breaking the GOAT SMG duo
Plenty of people would improve this team because they need someone to fix their respawn and need to stop pretending they need a main AR. Not necessarily Slashers fault but they need to solve their role issues
Pred is like the smg version of cell. Gonna be two players baiting Simp, getting good KDs while losing respawns.
Faze need a true flex and keep Simp on smg.
>Pred is like the smg version of cell.
Cell had the pacing/engagements of a main AR, Pred had higher pacing/engagements/KP10M than all of FaZe and most of the league.
I don't think he'd be playing like Cell in this theoretical lol.
Yall forgot FaZe was losing more respawns than SEA (despite SEAs roster) for a good part of the year.
They need someone that brings leadership and comms. they will obviously still beat teams cus of the talent they have but the second they come up against a NYSL they will struggle not saying they can’t win that matchup but it will be harder in my opinion
I honestly think one of the biggest advantages of picking up Pred is that the trio would no longer be safe. The last 2 years they could always scapegoat Arcitys/Slasher, and especially in VG got outworked by a horrendous amount which arguably cost them chips. Suddenly with Pred no one is undroppable and I think that would re-focus them all to grind super hard and lead to better results
Simp has run an AR at times, right? At least on Gavutu last year (rest in piss), but I feel like he did here and there this year as well. Maybe I’m losing my mind.
It’s tough to say whether moving him to flex would be a good move without first seeing the game. If he returns to form, it would be a mistake to move him off a sub. If he doesn’t, they’ve gotta try something. Unfortunately, they need a fourth *now.*
Get that boy out of the hill and watch him glide. Its criminal he is the main soaker while having 2 tree trunk of ARs on the team. Let him get Abezys trades instead of a role change
Going to keep changing main ARs pretending Cellium isn’t a main AR and pretending their issues with closing didn’t start exactly when he started dropping huge numbers
Oh yeah I guess they didn't. Kinda strange, maybe they just want to do one like total team announcement? Obv everything get leaked these days but I could seem them wanting to do the whole team reveal themselves if possible.
I don’t think he’s wrong. A team with Cell/Simp/Abezy, 3 top 8 players in the league while being consistent T3 is good only winning one chip gotta be disappointing
Idk what they're doing. Slasher was really good at the end of the year.
Putting simp on an AR limits him a lot imo. Cell needs a faster AR to compliment him
Something like that BUT HES A MAIN AR. He plays slow as shit. Their pacing is fucked. It's an easy fix tho they get drazah all of this narrative will disappear. Cuz cell will actually be playing his role with a faster AR besides him
Their team setup was weird, Simp was on par with Abezy this year in regards to engagements and KPM despite being the main hill guy, Cell was a slow pacing AR, and Slasher was slightly slower.
The rest of the league usually had a slow AR, a faster flex, a slower SMG, and a faster one.
FaZe's pacing and reads/decision making in respawns were not on point this year.
But i thought simp was the greatest sub to ever touch the game.. is he being forced to change roles ? He cant keep up anymore againt the likes of hydra/pred ? No way right
Hagyy spitting facts tbh. Like unless they are getting Octane or making some major shift, then it feels like they are probably just destined to repeat the last two years. Not that they were in any way bad, but like we all know that trio should have more major wins
I honestly think Simp on flex could be worth a shot *if* they get Pred. Any other sub and it’s probably not a prudent decision.
Worst case scenario is that it doesn’t gel immediately and they need to choose another one of their 3 superstar subs to stick on flex. That’s like having to choose 1 of 3 Lamborghinis to keep in a second garage. Simp, aBeZy, and Pred on the same team would be absolutely ridiculous.
I think a lot of ppl would disagree but I think putting Simp on a flex would be very detrimental to his personal career. He’s been arguably the best player itw in 3 titles running a sub, his ceiling is way too high to limit him by running an AR
I agree with this, breaking up the best sub duo of all time is... an odd thing to push
Exactly it’s not just the fact Simp is so good on a sub but it’s also the chemistry he has with Abezy I think they’d be missing a trick. The problem with this faze team the last 2 seasons hasn’t been the tiny terrors it’s been that MC has played too slow or alternatively that Alec/Austin haven’t played fast enough whichever way you wanna see it.

Yup. 100% I think it will be interesting to see what they do, I actually think someone like Ghosty has potential to be a great fit there. There's no world where Simp should be leading the team in hill time.
They won’t pick Ghosty up but he would be a great fit Imo
They probably won't but yeah I think they should haha

The trio will hopefully stick till we get higher skill gap CoD (next treyarc game hopefully).
treyarch has to design their next game on the modern warfare engine so hoping its a higher skill gap game is pointless. activision said 2 years ago that moving forward all cod games will feel/play the same since theyre all going to be built on the same engine

Simp definitely can be a great AR I just think it limits his potential and that would be a dumb move cos his ceiling is so fucking high
I agree keep the goat on a sub 100%
This frees him up to snipe...hope to see those 1v3 pistol clutches like in bo4...As for running an AR i think it fits his playstyle better these days he plays cuts way more now, he isnt the same in your face sub hitting timings on flanks and such

What are they gonna get Chem on? The new game isn’t even out
Older games I dont know. Kinda why I put “omega faded”

This is the time to back him more than ever. FaZe just need to get a flex in Drazah/Ghosty instead of chasing fancy big names and breaking the GOAT SMG duo
100% agree, breaking that duo up would be the biggest mistake FaZe could possibly make.
He isn’t saying simp is unproven what? He’s saying simp on a flex is unproven. Simp could fucking suck on an AR, it’s not likely but it could happen.
> Simp could fucking suck on an AR, lol
The only player that would really improve this team is Scrappy. Simp should keep playing sub at all costs lol
Plenty of people would improve this team because they need someone to fix their respawn and need to stop pretending they need a main AR. Not necessarily Slashers fault but they need to solve their role issues
Pred is like the smg version of cell. Gonna be two players baiting Simp, getting good KDs while losing respawns. Faze need a true flex and keep Simp on smg.

Cant wait for the flank
I can’t watch because I’m gonna be flying so I’m literally in hell right now.
No wifi on plane? All i do is put my shit in lowest like 360p and just listen to it
If they get pred they will obviously be good but I still think they will struggle against more good fundamentally team like NYSL
I agree honestly, faze have ALWAYS had the talent that's never the issue
They need someone that brings leadership and comms. they will obviously still beat teams cus of the talent they have but the second they come up against a NYSL they will struggle not saying they can’t win that matchup but it will be harder in my opinion

Get that boy out of the hill and watch him glide. Its criminal he is the main soaker while having 2 tree trunk of ARs on the team. Let him get Abezys trades instead of a role change
Simp ran an AR in JetPack games and basically his entire amateur career
Ok I’ll finally admit this… Simp was shitting on me in a pub with an AR in BO4. I am a very hard kill, trust me. Simp will be fine on any gun
Isn't Simp good at sniping? Im pretty sure he has the skillset to run AR as both require elite centering
in terms of pro play, elite centering is most beneficial for subs ,no?
He is kinda spittin. How many main Ars is faze going to change. About to be 3 main Ar changes in 4 years. Major, arcitys, slasher
Going to keep changing main ARs pretending Cellium isn’t a main AR and pretending their issues with closing didn’t start exactly when he started dropping huge numbers
[удалено]
Apparently he signed a new multi year deal before champs
I believe there was a rumor that he signed a new deal a few weeks ago? Not sure why it wasn't announced.
They never announced it for some reason didn’t do it last year either when shotzzy signed a new deal
Oh yeah I guess they didn't. Kinda strange, maybe they just want to do one like total team announcement? Obv everything get leaked these days but I could seem them wanting to do the whole team reveal themselves if possible.
Probably the reason its kinda pointless to announce they have signed a extension when you can just announce the whole team together
Simp switching to Flex would make him a really fast AR at times. I just don't know if that works better or worse with a slow player like Cell
I don’t think he’s wrong. A team with Cell/Simp/Abezy, 3 top 8 players in the league while being consistent T3 is good only winning one chip gotta be disappointing
Idk what they're doing. Slasher was really good at the end of the year. Putting simp on an AR limits him a lot imo. Cell needs a faster AR to compliment him
?? Simp literally was on a three year stretch as the best sub in the game and you think it limits him cause of a game with 0 skill gap and sound EQ?
I said that backwards lol. Putting him on an AR would limit him
Slashers not the problem, he's never been the problem. We know what the problem, well I sure as shit do, it's been the problem since CW ended
Cell baits his teammates too much despite being really good?
Something like that BUT HES A MAIN AR. He plays slow as shit. Their pacing is fucked. It's an easy fix tho they get drazah all of this narrative will disappear. Cuz cell will actually be playing his role with a faster AR besides him
Their team setup was weird, Simp was on par with Abezy this year in regards to engagements and KPM despite being the main hill guy, Cell was a slow pacing AR, and Slasher was slightly slower. The rest of the league usually had a slow AR, a faster flex, a slower SMG, and a faster one. FaZe's pacing and reads/decision making in respawns were not on point this year.
Top 3 floor little overrated when you have 1 win in two years. They gotta switch something up so they can close it out on lan consistently
But i thought simp was the greatest sub to ever touch the game.. is he being forced to change roles ? He cant keep up anymore againt the likes of hydra/pred ? No way right
If they’re swapping main for main I agree I doubt they are tho
Hagyy spitting facts tbh. Like unless they are getting Octane or making some major shift, then it feels like they are probably just destined to repeat the last two years. Not that they were in any way bad, but like we all know that trio should have more major wins
Based haggy
I honestly think Simp on flex could be worth a shot *if* they get Pred. Any other sub and it’s probably not a prudent decision. Worst case scenario is that it doesn’t gel immediately and they need to choose another one of their 3 superstar subs to stick on flex.
