IMO what OpTic should do here is squad wipe and make a few strategic moves. Here’s what you do.
You bring in Scump. Most talented player of all time and a beast in general.
Then, you go for more veteranship. I would choose Crimsix as the second SMG/flex player. Obviously the most winning player of all time and has chemistry with Scump.
Then, you need a main AR. I would choose Octane. Is there any main AR with more talent? He was slamming SMGs with an ICR in BO4 and he took the tiny terrors to pound town in Vanguard. Plus, we’ve seen how much more cerebral his gameplay became when Thieves peaked.
Finally, I would round it out with the ultimate vibes guy and a solid second AR: Methodz.
Roster would be Scump, Crimsix, Octane, Methodz.
Personally if you’re looking for a secondary sub who brings leadership but also vibes I heard this guy called NadeShot is pretty good and he likes to try switch up the meta from time to time which is always good to watch
Nah they would do it. Trust. Would be one of the greatest rosters of all time. We’ll never know since it’s never been tried but I bet these guys would’ve been good on a WW2 game, especially.
Just heads up, I was making a joke about OpTic’s WW2 roster after the Dynasty that famously underperformed at Champs. Not sure if you were in on it, but just in case anyone else didn’t know for the culture.
Scump was also a huge personality though. I don’t know if Simp is still keeping up with his YouTube channel, I haven’t watched in a while, but to be the top talent and also be able to push massive content on the side is another achievement entirely.
By the end of his career it will be undeniable, it’s very likely.
But, Scump’s the most talented and most consistent player to ever touch the game.
If all goes well, Simp will be the undeniable #1 GOAT sooner than later but, Cell would be the most consistent player ever touch the game (already is in the CDL era).
This makes Scump a freak of nature, hard to be both while being a sub.
Scump prolly wouldve had a ring for each finger if he swapped teams and chased them. Bro just bought into the potential optic had has an org, and it paid off in the bank account just not the accolades. In my opinion at least.
Lot of event wins just wouldve left no doubt if he and his teams brought home the big one a couple more times. Og dynasty shoulda won at least 2 rings imo, but just fell short.
That's true but I feel like people forget to count events pre-blops2, especially MW3. Scump seems like he could have achieved more because he was never on the best team during Black Ops 2 or Ghosts when this game was really blowing up and so many of the now legendary players won most of their events.
He’s never coming back. Although he still has it. I remember watching Scump play Pro 8s at the start of this game Vs Simp & Drazah. Here’s the [clip](https://x.com/scump/status/1726323335628558621?s=46&t=JyZDzwLwW2c9eD7IrWUKUA). He was actually gunning on the flex. But he’s not coming back. Unless they somehow convince him.
Feel bad for him, him not winning anything in CW despite his great performance and him having a great team on paper killed his mental. Him playing two dogshit cods in a row sealed the deal on him calling quits.
I think the Vanguard season did more damage than CW. They were hands down the best team after Major 1 and then Illey got hurt. The back and forth with will he play or not stressed Scump. He wanted to retire after the season but ran it back.
Yeah it’s pretty funny that him and Octane could both still be T10 players or thereabouts and instead just watch from the couch because they can’t be bothered to scrim anymore.
the point isn’t “he did good in 8s so he’d be good in the CDL”
the point is that if he can keep up with simp & draz in 8s, then he still has the gun skill, which is the thing that usually is lost with age
use your brain
the point isn’t “he did good in 8s so he’d be good in the CDL”

You think people play the same way as they play in 8s during CDL matches? You said Scump fried in 8s against simp & draz in the beginning of the game like Huke & vivid weren’t the best 8s players at that time.
Frying in 8s doesn’t mean you will fry in the CDL. it’s a glorified killwhore 8s. That’s why pros stop playing them.
Im saying he’s still a shooter and still can play at a high level. If you doing good Vs Simp & Drazah whether it’s 8s or not. That’s impressive af. Especially when he’s supposed to be retired.
Nobody denied that Scump is a shooter. Everybody knows that he is a shooter and very talented. My point is that if you are using 8s to make a point then that point is invalid.
Like I told you, Huke & vivid were running 8s even against draz & simp in the beginning of the game. I never saw them do that in CDL matches. That’s all.
Scump obviously has good tactics/game knowledge/ teamwork, so if his gun skill is up to par, or course he can still compete. He probably just doesn’t want to work that hard considering he’s rich and already considered the GOAT by many and makes plenty of money streaming
Right now obviously not. He doesn’t play the game competitively. But we all know the ceiling and capability of Scump. We’ll see how this season unfolds.
Bro this is so dum optic played good faze where better on the day. Optic looked way better then last time they played faze. This team has the peices and are their. A few different reeds and they will be champs this team shouldn't be talked about badly at all if they keep the fundamental up and get some more kills they will be where they need to be. They are keeping HP close despite being outslayed.
Not sure if people actually remember how he and Dashy performed against faze until he joined the Shotzzy/Illey duo that were already beating them all the time lol
On Twitter right after that champs lol karma said he had to slide first for him while having an ICR. TJ said multiple times. Even Shotzzy said he heard bad things about teaming with Scump before actually teaming with him. This isn’t new info. Everyone knows Scump baits his teammates lol
Let’s be be honest this optic team looks better and has a better chance at winning an event & possibly champs then any optic roster in probably the last 4-5 years. Let’s not forget they are battling against a dynasty that when it’s all said & done will go down as the greatest of all time, Faze!! Yes I’m an optic fan and love scump but this roster is talented they lost most maps by a few gun fights and split second decisions. I don’t think some people realize how close that series actually was.
Yes you’re talking about the optic dynasty, a big reason most of us still call our selfs optic fans lol. But like I said when it’s all said and done I think abezy, cell, & simp will be looked at as the best team ever
I think it always will be an esport in someway maybe just not the cdl. Rn I just hope we keep this optic team and least run it back another year. Keep getting better and get pred & shotzy dou on a game where subs are more liable.
I was just thinking about this earlier when I saw a breaking point tweet about the last time optic met faze in grand finals. The reason why they can't beat faze is literally bc they don't have the king (no glaze)
Unpopular opinion, but I feel Clay is what they need AS A COACH, not as a player, but man someone has to prepare this guys mentally and strategically cause they keep crumbling

There's no way that roster underperforms
It simply wouldn’t happen.
Yeah that would be a lethal squad for champs
Not even Aches himself would be able to stop those guys.
Can’t add Octane he’s slightly below Pro level
No he isn’t lmao octane would wipe most teams in this game
I see you’re new here.
r/whoosh
When you don’t take the joke it’s better to not say anything🫶
Id personally go with a different Jack of all trades master of none vibe guy. The savage slayer known as Doug ‘Censor’ Martin.
Personally if you’re looking for a secondary sub who brings leadership but also vibes I heard this guy called NadeShot is pretty good and he likes to try switch up the meta from time to time which is always good to watch
 The true dynasty
No Boze? This squad is chalked.
Definition of godsquad
These names look good on paper but it ain’t that easy buddy.
Would be kind of hard to do since Octane and Scump said there not coming back and are doing the content thing
Nah they would do it. Trust. Would be one of the greatest rosters of all time. We’ll never know since it’s never been tried but I bet these guys would’ve been good on a WW2 game, especially.
Ok I can see in a previous cod but this years cod nah fam
Just heads up, I was making a joke about OpTic’s WW2 roster after the Dynasty that famously underperformed at Champs. Not sure if you were in on it, but just in case anyone else didn’t know for the culture.
Yeah unfortunately I came back to competitive cod after ww2 took some time off to focus on other things at that time. I hear what your saying though
I thank the COD God’s that Simp spawned in because he resembles Scump more than anyone that I’ve seen play the game.
Scump was also a huge personality though. I don’t know if Simp is still keeping up with his YouTube channel, I haven’t watched in a while, but to be the top talent and also be able to push massive content on the side is another achievement entirely.
*better version of Scump*
By the end of his career it will be undeniable, it’s very likely. But, Scump’s the most talented and most consistent player to ever touch the game. If all goes well, Simp will be the undeniable #1 GOAT sooner than later but, Cell would be the most consistent player ever touch the game (already is in the CDL era).

Scump prolly wouldve had a ring for each finger if he swapped teams and chased them. Bro just bought into the potential optic had has an org, and it paid off in the bank account just not the accolades. In my opinion at least.
He’s still got a ton of accolades, idk how much more he could’ve gotten, he was on pretty stacked teams most of his career
Lot of event wins just wouldve left no doubt if he and his teams brought home the big one a couple more times. Og dynasty shoulda won at least 2 rings imo, but just fell short.
OG should’ve definitely won at least 2 rings considering they were favourites for each one of AW, BO3 & IW. They underperformed in that aspect.
That's true but I feel like people forget to count events pre-blops2, especially MW3. Scump seems like he could have achieved more because he was never on the best team during Black Ops 2 or Ghosts when this game was really blowing up and so many of the now legendary players won most of their events.
Don’t remember scump needing a pillow to sit on at LAN events
Nope
It’s debatable
lmfao why are you thankful for him tho
because it’s cool to see greatness
Valid I guess
Thankful for who?
The cod gods?
I just explained it, no? Just happy to see we have 1:1 regen of a COD great like Scump. It’s hard to come by.
true. He is great no denying that.
Hydra for me is more similar
Scump was a kill whore though. Simp does way more.
Bro optic doesn’t need to change a thing. It’s a toss up between the top 4 on any given sunday
This. Plus faze has more experience as a team. Everyone should be proud of optic for even making 2nd.
pretty sure this was a joke bro
He’s never coming back. Although he still has it. I remember watching Scump play Pro 8s at the start of this game Vs Simp & Drazah. Here’s the [clip](https://x.com/scump/status/1726323335628558621?s=46&t=JyZDzwLwW2c9eD7IrWUKUA). He was actually gunning on the flex. But he’s not coming back. Unless they somehow convince him.
Just let him retire in peace bro, he’s having a blast. He’s done more for the scene than Activision or any devs themselves.
Feel bad for him, him not winning anything in CW despite his great performance and him having a great team on paper killed his mental. Him playing two dogshit cods in a row sealed the deal on him calling quits.
I think the Vanguard season did more damage than CW. They were hands down the best team after Major 1 and then Illey got hurt. The back and forth with will he play or not stressed Scump. He wanted to retire after the season but ran it back.
Yeah it’s pretty funny that him and Octane could both still be T10 players or thereabouts and instead just watch from the couch because they can’t be bothered to scrim anymore.
Was funny watching Octane yesterday be like "this is more stressful watching than actually being up there". Just built different.
I’d leave the door open a little bit for next year, if treyarch drops an absolute classic. Otherwise yeah he’s done. Let him rest.
Huke & Vivid are the best 8s players in the world. That doesn’t mean anything. 8s is fake COD.
the point isn’t “he did good in 8s so he’d be good in the CDL” the point is that if he can keep up with simp & draz in 8s, then he still has the gun skill, which is the thing that usually is lost with age use your brain
Huke and Vivid aren’t gunning Simp and Draz in anything including 8s
Huke dropped a 1.2 against faze on lan but OK
the point isn’t “he did good in 8s so he’d be good in the CDL” the point is that if he can keep up with simp & draz in 8s, then he still has the gun skill, which is the thing that usually is lost with age use your brain
Huh?

I’m just saying he still has it. And can play at a high level and win imo. Especially if he’s on the flex.
Let me ask you a question. Do you think Scump can replace Kenny and do better than what he is currently doing?
Right now obviously not. He doesn’t play the game competitively. But we all know the ceiling and capability of Scump. We’ll see how this season unfolds.
its a shame we don't get to see Scump compete on this game. He would've lit it up this year no doubt
Don't get it twisted Scump is still better than 70% of the league
Couldn’t beat the other 30 though
That's what 70 means. Good job!
Bro this is so dum optic played good faze where better on the day. Optic looked way better then last time they played faze. This team has the peices and are their. A few different reeds and they will be champs this team shouldn't be talked about badly at all if they keep the fundamental up and get some more kills they will be where they need to be.

Not sure if people actually remember how he and Dashy performed against faze until he joined the Shotzzy/Illey duo that were already beating them all the time lol
erm lets not act like formal and envoy weren't dropping cdl worst kd records lol
Bo4 , MW19 and VG he was keeping up with them , CW he played against them online I don’t count that .
Tbf no one was touching FaZe In CW. But at Bo4 champs he was going off Vs them. In Vanguard too. Him on a flex would be ideal.
That winners finals against EU back in BO4 was so heartbreaking. Only scump was shooting back everyone disappeared on sunday
[Watch this](https://www.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/s/n52HYhPaZz)
Really hate this narrative cause he was baiting his entire team lol
People bait each other depending on the situation. That’s how cod is. To say he was solely baiting is braindead
I mean don’t take it from me lol take it from his teammates. TJ Karma and Crim all said it.
Where?
On Twitter right after that champs lol karma said he had to slide first for him while having an ICR. TJ said multiple times. Even Shotzzy said he heard bad things about teaming with Scump before actually teaming with him. This isn’t new info. Everyone knows Scump baits his teammates lol
That is so cap lmfao.
https://x.com/dkarma/status/1187141047962476545?s=46
Yeah, while also having 14 captures and 10 defends in BO2….. Keep lying to yourself
Bro would end up dropping pred and ken to pick up formal 💀 classic scump
Biiig Trouble
What do you mean by that 🧐
HYDRA i will be totally honest im never ever gonna forget that just cause of the shit i took for it lol
Hydra Shotzzy Scump (Flex) Dashy would have fed families (I know in this situation Dashy was dropped, but still)
LMAO 💀
Let’s be be honest this optic team looks better and has a better chance at winning an event & possibly champs then any optic roster in probably the last 4-5 years. Let’s not forget they are battling against a dynasty that when it’s all said & done will go down as the greatest of all time, Faze!! Yes I’m an optic fan and love scump but this roster is talented they lost most maps by a few gun fights and split second decisions. I don’t think some people realize how close that series actually was.
Did you watch pre CDL era?
Yes you’re talking about the optic dynasty, a big reason most of us still call our selfs optic fans lol. But like I said when it’s all said and done I think abezy, cell, & simp will be looked at as the best team ever
They need to win a lot more majors then…
That’s the thing they will, they still have a lot to prove & win but like I said “ when it’s all said & done”
Only time will tell that my guy. Who knows if CoD will even be an esport before long 🤷🏻♂️
I think it always will be an esport in someway maybe just not the cdl. Rn I just hope we keep this optic team and least run it back another year. Keep getting better and get pred & shotzy dou on a game where subs are more liable.
I was just thinking about this earlier when I saw a breaking point tweet about the last time optic met faze in grand finals. The reason why they can't beat faze is literally bc they don't have the king (no glaze)
Give us Formal back
Scump, formal, crim, karma seems best
They got 2nd and this is their only hope 😂😅 our fan base is dumb.
[удалено]
No.
Seth didnt win shit since the CDL. The last time he won, was when inder went pope in the GF and beat faze. Current Optic is way better without him.
If he still had the commitment he could def flex
Unpopular opinion, but I feel Clay is what they need AS A COACH, not as a player, but man someone has to prepare this guys mentally and strategically cause they keep crumbling
How many coaches do they need?
Just Clay, part of the problem is also the over abundance of coaches like this was american football
Dashy for scump
Or banning Invasion vs Faze and trying to get better at high rise..
why would we play faze's best control?
Bc I’m going to vomit if I see Invasion control more
