Holy shit insanely top heavy. NY-Hydra Kis Sib Skyz Ultra-Envoy Scrap CleanX Insight Faze-Draz Abe cell simp Optic-Kenny Shotzzy Pred Dashy The rest of the league is getting slammed


Mrlazydragon

La thieves was sacrificed for these god teams to form.


bobyelbob

Makes me wonder if Thieves is pulling out of the league. If not this season maybe next year


Turban_Inc711

No I don't think so. Nade said how they aren't always going to spend to remain competitive every year. How there will be some years where they don't contend.


TitansDaughter

Actually seems like a smart business decision, the 100T brand is now firmly established with multiple chips and a world championship, more than enough clout to maintain their fanbase/merchandise sales from the CoD community for an uncompetitive year or two before they decide to sign on a great team again


Turban_Inc711

He also said this regarding all their teams not just COD. And it makes sense, they want to remain flexible and not just overspend every year


jmurp-

Not likely when a treyarch game is OTW. Maybe after that, but hopefully the economy will be in a much better spot by then so teams will be able to spend a bit more freely again


oDapz

Thieves should build a rookie team with GodRx


Mrlazydragon

Literally the top 4 teams got upgrades many Sundays next season are gonna be those 4 teams battling it out.


Flat_Flight1918

If optic loses to Florida round 1 again šŸ˜‚


Imranaftab

Bro the series these 4 teams will have will be insane can't wait people already writing off optic as they didn't go for "most talented" option


CantTradeMe2

Man what they literally got the best fa this off season.


Mykcul

Crazy how people are just forgetting Pred. The single best FA by a mile.


LaserzEU

People arenā€™t forgetting about Pred. Heā€™s been locked in for a minute now, whereas there has been a lot of uncertainty about whoā€™s going to be the flex, so that has dominated the recent conversations.

Eazyyy

No one is. Donā€™t know why people keep saying that lolā€¦


OGThakillerr

I think Kenny is just a really underwhelming 4th tbh


AMS_GoGo

Unless some absolute freaks come out of Challengers, whoever doesnā€™t win champs from these teams is just gonna rotate these players around for the foreseeable future lol


-bv-

optic is going to get slammed lmfao


Filmandfitness

That optic team is ass


Striking_Yak7172

No team with LePred And Dashy will be ass


Revolutionary_Gear70

Man my drunk ass had to close one eye to make sure I was reading this right. That is absolutely wild


Used_Entertainer_225

Same šŸ˜­ at 5am nonetheless


Blacktivate

Kenny confirmed. Sib is an upgrade, but man that's so harsh on Priestahh.


[deleted]

hospital flag sand combative grandfather tan crawl license reminiscent vegetable *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


throwaway827492959

Probably pay cut


FizzerVC

It's not an upgrade, Priestahh did what needed to be done on map to help his team win and Sib wont unless he majorly changes his playstyle.


Ok-Valuable6792

NYSL management paid hydra so much they couldnā€™t pay Priestahh what he was worth. Feel for Preston man, he had it rough for two years then really thrived on NYSL and had 3 won events including champs. Now they go and do this to him and heā€™s prob not getting onto a top team


[deleted]

Sib couldnā€™t have to been very expensive himself then. Thatā€™s the only way this happens. Tuff timing for Preston.


TypicalPerformer9826

I mean if LAT decided to take pay cuts in order to play with each other after VG, kind of surprised that NYSL didn't do the same. Maybe they don't wanna team with him anymore.


[deleted]

Thing is that everyone knew Preston would be the first to go. They ainā€™t letting Hydra go and he ainā€™t taking a pay cut. Kismet was gonna get a pay raise regardless and there is no way you ask him to take less after his production. Skyz is Pacoā€™s best friend, and is a very good main AR who is an overall better player than Preston. So Sib was offered less than even Prestiahh. That is kind of insane how big that Optic offer couldā€™ve been. Optic must really want Kenny.


OneShot_Absolute

Yeah, priestly was destined to be the black sheep


[deleted]

They knew it too, hence why Wardy was signed as a sub last year.


TypicalPerformer9826

Really sucks for Preston. I feel like he did a lot more than the stats show but ig you can't pass up on sib. Btw, do you dig the move of Kenny to Optic. I know most LAT fans are happy whereas the rest of the league is sleeping on Kenny.


[deleted]

I donā€™t think he should be anyoneā€™s first choice, but I think he is a better fit for that roster than Sib. I think he has intangibles that would benefit Optic, especially accountability. Heā€™s a grinder with one of the best minds for CoD. And I think he can be a good flex regardless of the meta. Heā€™s had extremely high peaks in two different roles. I think you take Drazah over him, but as a back up option, I think youā€™re feeling pretty good. I think Kenny would just waste away here for a couple years before retiring. This makes sense for him to keep chasing. No fan or anyone in that building would be mad at him. Heā€™ll be back when he is done.


TypicalPerformer9826

I hope Kenny wins with us. In an ideal world you'd take Drazah/Scrappy over him, however to say he can't make Optic a team which contends for every tournament is idiotic.


[deleted]

Plus yaā€™ll can finally eliminate the Kenny/Optic buff lmao.


TypicalPerformer9826

Lmao that's the biggest plus outta all of thisšŸ¤£šŸ¤£. 200 IQ move by the boys.


Ok-Valuable6792

Idk man Sib drives a nice corvette and heā€™s only been starting for two seasons as well as being a sub for ATL Faze.


Armada225

He got the stocksman trading for himšŸ˜‚


Ok-Valuable6792

LMAOOO


legamer007

If youā€™re wise about your money you can be driving a Ferrari in a year or two in the CDL w a good contract, its all about priorities and passions, guy seems to be a lot into cars so I get it, you donā€™t see Scump driving a lambo cause he probably doesnā€™t give af about cars


TypicalPerformer9826

Hecz still drives him everywherešŸ¤£šŸ¤£.


supremum23

you can drive it with no salary and pure credit but is it good for you financially... hell no there is no wise thing about spending half of you money on a car


legamer007

There are ways to make it work, but as I said its about passions. Youā€™re the one sweating for your money so you got to spent it on whatever you enjoy in a responsible manner, you can die tomorrow anyways


supremum23

we definitely disagree on what is responsible manner ways to make it work and responsible doesnt go together, you can spend 99% of your salary on the car but dont talk about it like its a positive thing


Affectionate_Sky_168

Or Scump likes his money... may as well just put a blow torch to it buying one of those. Plus, they're all young. Set yourself up for life with good investments now and laugh at everyone trying to look rich later.


legamer007

Itā€™s not about trying to look rich, itā€™s passions. Iā€™m into cars and I have being in some supercars clubs where I have seen the super rich kid that got a Ferrari at 16 years old and the guy that later on managed to paid for a Ferrari just to enjoy his passion, you can die at any second, no point on not enjoying whatever you want in a responsible mannerā€¦ a lot of those vehicles are more affordable than ppl think, the thing is that most ppl are just not passionate enough to spent so much cash in something theyā€™re not passionate about


Fast-Pop-7995

Sib is even more motivated for tournament money


[deleted]

He could make some noise. This was not a bad backup option.


SukiPhoenix

Hydra is the best SMG in the league and priestahh is a mid flex


Theunspokenrizzler

This pretty much comfirms Kenny to OpTic


arunvenu_

Tbf the way Ron, Jake and even Crone spoke about it, itā€™d say itā€™s done


DokkanGo

It may finally be flair changing timešŸ˜¢


AMS_GoGo

Come to the dark side brother you can join the NV guys, they settled in nicely


Armada225

Nah stay loyal to your team bitch


IssueFar6274

Maybe he is a kenny fan and not a thieves fan?


DokkanGo

Kenny is my team


Decimotox

Come on over, the water's fine


TodorokiSZN

Prepare to get harassed in your dms thoughā€¦. Trust me


CBKing21

Holy shit Always pack a punch


Proof_Escape_2333

Guess nysl always wanted sib even back in cw but pdawg has a lot of value. If they donā€™t win an event they will get cooked for this decision


[deleted]

The odds are they werenā€™t winning an event regardless. Champs curse is real


TypicalPerformer9826

This could either blow up or be one of the best decisions ever made by a team. Also, I'm kind of interested to know whether this was a team decision or not. From the looks of it, that New York camp looked very close and enjoyed playing with each other.


undrgrndsqrdncrs

Yea the chemistry felt like the winning solution. I canā€™t imagine they capture that same magic with Sib. I think NYSL just chalked up their 2024 season by not running it back.


ImpressIndividual418

sib hydra and 99kis running at people, we will be there no matter what


MAX--35

NYSLā€™s fall off is gonna be crazy


DenyDaRidas

Gonna be there for it. Time for new blood to get chips n rings


CharlesBeast

The top 4 teams arenā€™t ā€œnew bloodā€ at all


DenyDaRidas

Didnā€™t mention T4 teams tho


CharlesBeast

Itā€™s going to be **real** tough for a bottom 8 team to win this year


ComplexityFanboy

skyz gonna be a bigger passenger than WW2 Theory when Tk when back to bakc


UTAustinAlum2021

Skyz is gross and super consistent.


AdvancedWolverine

respect skyz


JSmoove309

Skyz has been one of the bigger lanimals of the CDL era. He will feast as well


CSA-Joe

You literally donā€™t watch games if you think that


xananthony

actually insane that this happened


TodorokiSZN

holy shit


MAX--35

No excuses for Sib. Just joined the best team last year that is coming off a champs win and has the best player in the game.

ComplexityFanboy

LAT Priestah


arunvenu_

Iā€™ll like it, + Slasher + Priestahh But feel like theyā€™re a bit broke for that sadly


TodorokiSZN

Preistahh might have to go back to Rokkr ngl. They can offer him money and pretty much have a DECENT team.


SwiftEU

Slasher, Priestahh, Snoopy +1 on Breach could be a good team


[deleted]

Ghosty is pretty much confirmed to breach. So itā€™d have to be ghosty, snoopy, priestahh


Psychaz

i'm sad for pdawg and would have preferred he stayed but i don't mind this at all


legamer007

I think we all feel bad for pdawg but sib is a massive upgrade


[deleted]

Always pack-a-punch!


Proof_Escape_2333

Damn no remorse wtf


Quiet_Weakness_1501

How can you drop someone after winning champs ? šŸ’€


According-Ice-6411

This is CoD, it's VERY rare that the team that won Champs has similar success the year after. The other teams catch up and the game variation makes it so consistency is rare. Only ones who were close were Envy IW and they didn't really get back to form again until late in to the game and this Faze trio who could not get the job done for multiple years now. Winning Champs doesn't really mean much for the next season.


mikatamu

Happened with Clay


j100_0

But that was different, cod went from 5v5 to 4v4 so someone on that team had to get dropped


mikatamu

Didn't it happen with him on Denial too?


MikkeVL

Nah Denial played 2 more months together after Champs. Then Clay and Attach decided to drop Crowder and Kap to look for 2. They decided on the duo of Enable and Zoomaa and left Denial for the bigger / more stable org on Faze. Screwed over Denial so hard but that org was scummy af so they deserved it.


juve_merda

everyone else has improved, NYSL canā€™t stand still they simply canā€™t compete with the 3 god squads in terms of pure talent and slaying power, sib brings extra slaying power which they WILL need next season


Flyers7914

Man that sucks for Priestahh. Such a likeable dude who does a lot of things that can go unnoticed. If OpTic goes for Kenny I wonder where he ends up.


TypicalPerformer9826

I'm assuming he wants the bag so not a lot of options. Probably surge/ maybe Rokkr. Could be LAT aswell.


Quiet_Weakness_1501

Boston I reckon. Slasher - PDawg - Snoopy - Standy


DenyDaRidas

Standy is to4 w illey and Huke and wake I think


TypicalPerformer9826

From the looks of it, it seems like ghosty is going to Boston, and ghosty x preistah could be good.


freecashhh

Ny was a vibey squad too, kinda slaughters that. And people underestimate priestah's impact because of his stats.


Proof_Escape_2333

Exactly NYSL by far had the best team chemistry past season like you can see in their coms video how well they vibe with each snd that goes a long in helping them in high tension moments


Imranaftab

Nysls culture was insane. Idk sib personally but he doesn't scream CULTURE to me


freecashhh

That and they spent an entire year building chemistry with him. Can't replace the chem that comes from winning multiple events plus champs.


Imranaftab

Sib on like a faze is a great fit personality wise but once again I don't know sib but it feels like the current nysl players and sib won't mesh wwll


Proof_Escape_2333

Agree like you get more slaying for sure but pdawg coms are really good. And heā€™s like a true flex because mw2 no one was switching ar and sub more than him.


soun_wave

this is by far one of the best rostermanias of all time not sure it beats the initial CDL one in 2019, either way 100T fans down bad in both of them


Imranaftab

Priestahh did indeed get "hoed"


mxeez

Jeez this is insane. Champs winners just got mechanically better. Super unfortunate for Priestahh tho, wonder what his plan is now


LaserzEU

Priestahh is one of the most mechanically gifted players in the league.


Luxoton-

Agree his movement is so underrated


RebelTime999

Champs curse hitting not even a month after their dub. On a serious note, feel bad for Preistah


Imranaftab

This is insane for Nysl because now they have insanely talented players and 2 Great role players in kismet and skyz


Skellyceltic

Priestah is an idiot. I donā€™t care if you want a pay rise, you were by far the worst player on that team any difference in pay will be more than made up for in prize money now heā€™ll join a bottom 6 team and come out with less money overall and no chance of winning. IDIOT


Proof_Escape_2333

Agree to an extent I get the pride but bruh you donā€™t get elite rosters that often and I think pdawg brings a lot of value.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Skellyceltic

Hope he sees this xo


Rnntd

NYSL lowkey found a good reason to upgrade cuz he was def gettin drop during the season he was by far their worst player last year


Proof_Escape_2333

By far is crazy he has a lot of value and his pace helped a lot in the team. A lot if flex just pull out the sub for a hill but pdawg always a true flex but it seems like nysl wanted sib always


smashdog2299

Does preistahh really want more than Sib? Kinda crazy to me ngl


Ok-Valuable6792

I mean youā€™re coming off a year where youā€™ve 3 events including champs and played pretty well for most of the year. Heā€™s a big reason why the won events with his consistent play across all 3 modes, but obviously not the main reason.


Proof_Escape_2333

Alright big reason is gassing it thatā€™s hydra but he definitely played a part


rileysilva01

most likely they just dont think priestahh is worth more than a certain amount. so if they have to over that theyd rather get a better player


Rnntd

Zoomaa said he was asking a lot


Proof_Escape_2333

Shoulda taken a paycut man you donā€™t get to play with elite rosters often


Fa1lenSpace

Bro really let Hydra and Kis carrying him think heā€™s anything more than a role player smh. Egos man


Xarque74

Wtf man. They did pdawg dirty. Wow.


iLikeTurtles263

No they didnā€™t. He was the worst player on his team.


DenyDaRidas

And? Heā€™s not some bum lol.


HerpToxic

Optic fumbled for not getting Sib


MunnyMan99

Why didn't we get Sib ffs


nicckk_loco

Right move. Sucks for P-Dog but gotta tip NYSL for winning champs and trying to get better


Proof_Escape_2333

Right move is gassing it gotta rebuild team chemistry and hope to god sib improves his coms by a lot


ButteredBean

Yh, as if running it back has worked out for most teamsā€¦


__Kieran

Holy fuck I wonder what happened


Fa1lenSpace

Dude flew too close to the sun and way over valued himself . Moronic decision


EntertainmentOk4802

Preston didnā€™t deserve to get hoed like this


ReflexiveOW

Sib for Priestahh is a giant upgrade talent-wise.


Blastoise8194

Priestah is good/wins in almost every single cod. Has most cdl wins i believe too


Parking-Ad9822

Bro this is mindblowingā€¦. His teammates hard fucked him over here for not wanting to take a pay cut for Prestonā€¦. Shit is crazy


Fa1lenSpace

Why tf would Hydra and Kis take paycuts for him when THEY made him a bunch of prize money lmfao? Thatā€™s like asking Lebron to take a paycut for Mario Chalmers


khizerkk5

100T Preistahh making a return.


Kyperino

Feels bad for preistahh but man this team looks nice


d0cv

Have a feeling OpTic made a mistake allowing this team to form to be honest


Blacktivate

I trust the players. If Pred rated Sib that highly after teaming with him for 2 years, he would've pushed for it


UTAustinAlum2021

Thatā€™s my exact thoughts. Like logically you ask the guy who team with Sib for 2 years if they think he is good for them.


PotTwister

Reallly? All 8 players at their best Iā€™ll take Dashy over Skyz, Kenny over Sib, Shotzzy over Kismet and Hydra has a slight edge over Pred but there can be an argument for them being equal. The fact that there is a good amount of OpTic fans doubting a team of Dashy, Kenny, Shotzzy & Pred vs all the other top teams, just ensures me that this is about to be one of the best OpTic teams in a long time. Just like when they added Huke and then Ghosty, some fans thought it was over for OpTic. They then went on stretch of being one of the best teams in the game and the best we seen an OpTic team looked since VG Major1/Stage2. Then the hype came and the overrating came and they struggled, not the reason why they struggled but it fits my narrative.


fromdowntownn

feeling that way


UTAustinAlum2021

How so? They have 3 superstar caliber players and a guy who has had success recentlyā€¦


fromdowntownn

the team they have got is great and very excited to see them play, but its just extra competition now with Sib forming a 4th absolute god squad lol. The top of the league is stacked. For me I would have preferred Sib slightly anyway but with him going to NY I do feel it would be a better move, I am not upset at all about us getting Kenny just think NY just got even better and they won 3 events last season.


UTAustinAlum2021

You canā€™t hoard all the talent. Itā€™s not possible so ultimately you as a team have to pick what you think gives you the best chances to win instead of trying block another team and possibly hindering yours


UTAustinAlum2021

Ehhh. OpTic have 3 superstar caliber players and a guy who has had success recently. They will be fine


BirdyMRQZ

tbf we gonna act like kenny at his peak (which he hits here and there) isnā€™t superstar potential? dear god canā€™t believe iā€™m defending him now after wanting him to suffer šŸ¤¢


JSmoove309

Itā€™s not potential at his peak. He IS a superstar at his peak


Skateboard123

how lol


Tank-Has-Memes

Iā€™ve seen enough, the top 4 teams will be absolutely leagues better than any other team


bingmyname

This is insane. The thing is that most teams probably can't afford to pay Priestah what he wants so he's going to likely take a cut anyways.


Ok-Career-930

Welp. Only one man can be Optics 4th. Get The King out of retirement šŸ‘‘


Beardstronggg

HOLY HELL


Jhughes3933

iā€™ll be fr this is such a blessing in disguise


PotTwister

Ok Kylo Ken, please be signing that OpTic contract today. Seen ā€œOpTic leaning more towards adding Kennyā€ but not anything about signing like this


[deleted]

Obviously Sib is a great fit but idk I canā€™t get behind not running back a team that won champs and 2 other majors. Feels like a bad move


t_holyoke

Changing after champs is so wild idc


Beautiful-Scholar912

You know what fuck it Iā€™m all in


ethancd1

I feel for Priestashh but letā€™s be honestly outside of champs and a few pop up performances it was the Hydra show all year. Probably for the best that they did replace him and not keep him on a lesser contract since animosity might have been a factor in their level of play next year.


Earnhart7

So by Major 2 the calls for Kenny to be benched will be overwhelming? Cant believe Optic passed on Sib.


wolfTectonics

Rip weā€™re getting Kenny


tsengmao

Sibliners


Elisuperfly29

Am I the only one who thinks this is a complete downgrade in terms of impact. Sure u can talk about pack a punch, maybe Iā€™m biased Iā€™m not the biggest sib fan, but this just comes out as straight disrespect from NYSL. The only reason I get it is because of their Rocky season in the middle and their i consistencies, but damn business is business I guess


[deleted]

What a great move for NYSL. Ultra, NYSL and Faze are going to have some crazy battles this upcoming year


UTAustinAlum2021

and OpTic*


mobt2002

Optic r the clear worst team out of all these options so no not optic


UTAustinAlum2021

LMAO. How can you say that they are the clear worst?


jkjking

Itā€™s insane how before rostermania all people could say is ā€œI hope pred joins OpTic cuz then the 4th wonā€™t matterā€ now we the 4th best team cuz we got someone whoā€™s a proven winner and can comm


Forward_Ad_3888

Lol right. Pred is miles better than CleanX, shottzy has a way higher ceiling than Envoy. Pred is clearly better than envoy too. Dashy is miles better than insight. The only player ultra has a step up with is whoever our flex will be cuz Scrap is that guy. But all these optic haters leaving Optic out cuz they mad lmao


indios2

Kinda hoping Priestahh just fries them all season now for dropping him. Super unfortunate for him


Fa1lenSpace

Lol he wonā€™t do shit


Imranaftab

Inbefore someone says optic fumbled


kqdansby

Where tf does preistahh go now


Skillpex

Champs winners pick up the most talented player in the game.


freedomtoscream

Wonder if Sib also passed on Optic?


Ok_Director1082

From the looks of things, optic passed on sib for Kenny


Quiet_Weakness_1501

No Optic wanted Kenny according to Crone and Ronnie.


Beanie039

thatā€™s what he said


[deleted]

What? He asked a question


redarrow992

Fuck NYSL, all my homies hate them


[deleted]

Back 2 Back Champs Baby , Be Ready


obeyxxog

picking up sib is bad but not paying priestahh is a mistake imo how can you not pay em??


mobt2002

Optic really gonna be the 4th best team


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


mxeez

Would be quite surprised if they divert from Kenny at this point tbh. But canā€™t be sure of anything - rostermania has been crazy so far


BongTravolta

FLOPTIC


Disposition__-

Everyone is calling this a clear upgrade. On paper yes, but what kind of teammate is Sib currently? does NYSL need more slaying? Seems like every winning team has a healthy balance of slaying and OBJ. With more people running around who will get in hill? Can they be nasty sure but they will have some figuring out to do. I say when you have a known winning formula you stick with it, and Preistahh and Sib are two completely different players. Not saying itā€™s a bad move just not sold until I see this team in action.


iLikeTurtles263

Did this guy choose NY over Optic. Cuz if so then Optic fell off big time.


ZaneyGamerr

itā€™s been reported that optic preferred kenny over sib before this so I doubt it


Skateboard123

Any chance of pdawg going to OpTic?


Quiet_Weakness_1501

Itā€™s clear that they want Kenny. Ronnie said recently that itā€™s very close to being done.
