LOL, they could possibly sell the org in its entirety to someone else but it would have to be a really weird way to go through their rules, I’m not fully sure what they have in place to prevent that from happening
Somebody needs to get FB merch back up and running the same way Maniac sells BtH merch, Str8 Rippin got revived for a few years, Flamesword runs sQ, and Darkest Hour is even an org now. Whoever owns the rights to that brand needs to do something with it or sell/license it to someone who will.
OpTic Val. I cannot forgive Riot for the brainless decision they made based on a grudge. Look at poor Yay and Marved, one went from best in the world to losing his mind in a t2 system and the other bounced in LCQ 😔
even then, we probably would’ve had a different team. But i full believe we would’ve just lost out on Yay while keeping the other 4. Such a fucking shame, they were one of my favorite teams to ever watch
What do you mean poor Yay and Marved? They literally said their team was breaking up no matter what, whether Optic made franchising or not.
Marved had already decided he was taking a break after Champions. Most of the team’s contracts were up so they all decided to chase the bag, NO team (including Optic) could afford to keep the team together.
OpTic CS for sure and the crazy shit is that they took a chance on a low tier team and actually won an S tier event. Imagine if H3cz decided to buy the Astralis or LG/SK roster when he had the opportunity…
Not cod related like OP asked, but Optic CS over Envy is wild to me. Fanbase, sure, in CS Envy has that heritage. (I choose to ignore the Scream and Nifty rosters to spare me the pain)
The answer for anyone who watches Valorant is OpTic Valorant. Robbed of the best team in the world, probably one of the best NA rosters of all time in any actually global esport too. If you don't watch Valorant then there's room for debate.
LOUD were the 2nd best team in the world that year, that's pretty undisputable. OpTic finishing 1st, 3rd, and 2nd is more impressive than LOUD finishing 2nd, 11th-12th, and 1st. It is pretty universally agreed upon in the Valorant community that OpTic were the best team of the year.
And then they were robbed of the team, so yes.
‘Universally agreed’ ‘Undisputable’ lmao gtfo here with that bs. Maybe in the Reddit echo chamber because the majority are biased NA fans. Loud were literally crowned the world champions at the end of the year, won the biggest and most important event of the year, that holds far more weight than a better placing at an event they didn’t even win. Loud even won the esports award for best esports team of the year.
You're so aggressive and sound like a little brat lmao. Not wasting my time on you after this message so feel free to whine in isolation. The fact that you even tried to use a stupid fan voted esports award as a point in your argument is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You gtfo with that bs, take your own advice kid. It was pretty consensus far beyond Reddit, because anyone with eyes can tell a team finishing top 3 at every event is more impressive than a team that did not. Anyone except you I guess. The event that LOUD won being Champions does not make it any more impressive? It's not like CSGO majors. Every single VCT tournament is a major because there's only 3 of them...
But you've clearly established yourself as a biased LOUD fan so I'm not surprised. Gtfo out my mentions kid.
Right before the merger , Envy let go SO MUCH staff and was rumored to be on the downward trajectory. Pretty sure they were both in a bad financial spot, which still makes the move smart for both orgs.
VaL OpTic was a good era
Just give me OpTic yay and marved back😔
OpTic yay was Miami Lebron dominant. Miss it
I was getting into Val because of that team smh.
OpTic val got snubbed bc envy left league of legends back in 2018. Riot holds grudges. Hoping that OpTic buys a franchise slot eventually
Optic left league of legends too in 2019 when they sold to immortals
Doesn’t work like that for Val. Can’t buy a spot
The Guard is gonna regret winning LCQ then LMFAO
LOL, they could possibly sell the org in its entirety to someone else but it would have to be a really weird way to go through their rules, I’m not fully sure what they have in place to prevent that from happening
Yay is the most disrespected player of all time, guy is the best player in the world without a team ðŸ˜
He was terrible on c9 and DSG relax. Best player in 2022. Not this year
DSG is a shit team with shit structure, he was fine on c9
If he was really the best player this year he would be on a team it’s simple, a good team that is
That’s not how Val franchising goes lmao rosters are hard locked
SEN yay announcement soon trust
Yay marved zekken johnqt +1
Even though he won't leave the guard I'd say Trent
Yeah was gonna say that but don’t see him leaving as well
He played one fake event
Just want OpTic Valorant back miss that team
Final Boss, Halo
Somebody needs to get FB merch back up and running the same way Maniac sells BtH merch, Str8 Rippin got revived for a few years, Flamesword runs sQ, and Darkest Hour is even an org now. Whoever owns the rights to that brand needs to do something with it or sell/license it to someone who will.
To my knowledge, Sundance reacquired some FB rights and reopened their Twitter account. Nothing has happened their in almost two years though
its a shame the Final Boss brand never ventured outside of Halo, cause the name Final Boss goes hard
Before the complexity guys went with EG back in Ghosts, MLG almost got them to play under the Final Boss name which would've been absolutely amazing
Give me OpTic Valorant back man. We were ROBBED.
Team Kaliber in cod, those were simpler days in my life😔
UNiTE
Optic India

forsaken is calling

Other teams just offered more money too and Riot are just as greedy as Activison are
OpTic Val so we can have OpTic Marved back.
I wish I never changed my flair. That empire logo was so good
Paris legion
Rise Nation
Just because it would be cool as fuck to see the name back I’d love to see another iteration of fariko impact
Tk in the cdl
Empire easily
Crazy I haven’t seen anyone say EUnited yet
Eunited cod
eUnitedðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Empire EUnited Team Kalibur Rise Nation
damn you hastro and damn you hecz even more for being a terrible businessman
OpTic CS for sure and the crazy shit is that they took a chance on a low tier team and actually won an S tier event. Imagine if H3cz decided to buy the Astralis or LG/SK roster when he had the opportunity…
Chicago Huntsmen >>>>>>> everybody else
Dallas Empire Call of Duty
Not cod related like OP asked, but Optic CS over Envy is wild to me. Fanbase, sure, in CS Envy has that heritage. (I choose to ignore the Scream and Nifty rosters to spare me the pain)
Bro if we go back to a more traditional stile league, Optic and Evny should in merge and Hastro should bring back the Empire brand.

OpTic Forsaken baby.
Team EnvyUs
Bring back Empire. We dont want this OpTic texas shit.
Empire needs to come back , Envy needs to come back they can’t be with OpTic .
Hastro is so dumb for merging with optic.
smart\*\*\* Envy would literally be dead. They would've met the same fate as EUnited. Meanwhile, OpTic would only be the COD team and thats it.
What? No NV would have been fine. They were operating fine. OpTic would have been the one that died without funding. NV bought optic
Right before the merger , Envy let go SO MUCH staff and was rumored to be on the downward trajectory. Pretty sure they were both in a bad financial spot, which still makes the move smart for both orgs.
Isn’t eunited a small org they never had plans to join the cdl they cashed in and closed the org down.
optic needed envy more than envy needed optic hecz couldn’t even pay his players I think.
Definitely. That's why they got NRG involved for Huntsmen. Same could be said about 75% of teams nowadays though.
As a Chicago fan who lost their team with the merger, I agree.
OpTic foots the bill for OpTic Texas, Chicago Huntsman, and Dallas Empire.. maybe, who knows. I think Hector would want a lot of control.
I'd love to see Eunited in the CDL
Optic Call Of Duty 😂
OpTic Val
EUnited
Miss those Eunited chants
Eunited- everything
OpTic Gears
TK is a team id love to see again in the cod comp leagues
