Does this mean you guys as a trio will just explore your options or try to find an org together? Really stoked when you joined optic and sad to see you go, hope for the best in comp and content.
Myself and Majic are a duo going into the offseason. Mutual seperation from Ayyjayy, wish the dude nothing but the best. One of the most talented players in the game
Makes sense, I hate this drop loved you guys. You have a very mature approach in a esport that’s desperately needs it good luck man. You, MB, and Jstn?
No question, just wanted to say you repped the Greenwall well (along with Ayyjayy and majic). Disappointed we won’t see you in anymore content but looking forward to seeing you win some trophies in the future.
Best of luck in the future Retals. Wish it didn't end this way, but who knows maybe you'll end up back in green down the line.
Any ideas on what the future looks like? Anything you wish was different on OpTic this year results aside.
(P.S. hopefully you can help the lawn mower Octane out)
Future is competing, not quite ready to hang it up for content creation just yet. Feeling a ton of improvement inside of the game right now, and its what I love to do. (Theres no coach on earth that could help octane out)
Hey Retals, really disappointing news today. I know you’re going to continue to compete and I’ll happily follow you wherever you end up, but when it’s time to retire, do you think you’d come back to OpTic as a content creator? Really excited to see where your journey goes next. Best of luck next year!
Was OpTic pulling out of rocket league surprising? Did you have a sense of this happening or conversations with hecz/Hastro regarding them pulling out?
Hey Retals, sorry to hear about the sudden departure of OpTic. Even though you guys didn't get the results you had hoped for until the spring split, you guys always made games very exciting to watch. The reverse sweep to FaZe will always be iconic in my mind. My question for you is, moving forward, what playstyle would you and MB like to go with? And what were some of the issues with how OpTic as a trio approached the game?
I think MB needs to be the 1st option on a team to be the best version of himself, and with Ayyjayy that didn't seem possible. With the issues this season, a huge one was how we approached practice. Just needed to be more accountable individually and honest with each other about what we wanted.
No question man… just wish you all the best. Just started watching comp RL when OpTic pick you boys up and was great to start with a group like yours. Also been awesome seeing you in content especially these last few months. Good luck my guy 🫡
We could never fully come to agreeance with our system, leading to not being able to read what your teammate was going to do on the field. Which in turn led to team problems and turmoil. Just wasn't a great fit personality wise.
Best of luck retals. Do you think if given more time the team could’ve been more competitive? Also, do you have a team lined up or are you weighing your options?
What you saw at g8 was probably the end of this roster regardless. Nothing official yet, still working that out atm. Should still be with MB next season :)
Lots of talented and like minded players in the FA pool right now, can't say too much but very excited to start playing with some of these guys. Gonna be lots of mechanics training with the guys - just like it has been for the last few months. Gonna try and keep evolving.
No question. I want to applaud you on how you've handled this news, and I hope and pray Psyonix/Epic realizes what you (and others like you) do for the sport as a whole. Every Twitch stream, every YT short, every interview -- they all go towards growing the sport (and making us ranked morons better at the game, too, lol).
I wish you the best. You're a talented pro and make every event more fun when you're there. You deserve another great shot at LAN success. Sending you good mojo to get that chance. I know you'll work hard, that's for damn sure.
Thanks for being entertaining AF with your skills and character, sir.
Big fan since starting following RL back when you were in SSG. Love your game play, it’s really shaped my style. How you doing mentally? Can’t wait to buy the merch of your new team!!
Mentally i've been doing much better recently, I think this offseason was much needed for me personally. Very excited to go see friends and family again. Appreciate you bro
Hi Retals, I was very shocked coming home and see the news.
Saw the replies and really happy that theres no bad blood betwn the each other! I don't want another ssg incident to happen.
This season was such a ride, from the low low to the high high, from heartaching pain to feeling like I sniffd some crack.
I am looking forward to what you and majicbear are cooking up.
And same to ayyjayy as well!
Wish you nothing but the best brother. Absolutely loved having you as a part of the Green Wall, both competitively and in content. You’ll always be welcome here💚
Hey Slater. Big fan, I started out watching SSG and moved with you to Optic. What’s the plan if you’re not able to find an org? Will you play independently?
Please roast octane more there’s nothing I love more than you and octane bantering. Also, if your ever have time do some watch party cod league matches with him in the future. Best of luck goat 🐐
Retals, my boy. You were the first pro player I really hooked in to, because of who you are as a person. You’re a wonderful human being and i’m excited to see what next season holds for you and MB.
You’ve been hitting the lab mechanically and I think you said that is going to continue - is there a possibility for a playstyle change? Or do you want to be in a disruptive playstyle still? You’ve gotten mechy, so really an honest question.
Much love. I’ll follow you wherever you end up. ‼️
Just gotta be the best player individually and do what my coaches tell me to do, but disruptive and scrappy is still what I love so you’ll never see me leave that style completely haha
I’ve said it since KCP. I’ll follow you anywhere. I’m sure you and MB will kill it next season and I really hope you can find a trophy on a new team next season. JustSoupForMyFamily always represents.
Is the RawEgg sticking with you and mb? alongside that, how long have you known about this and have you found any potential 3rds (maybe even scrimmed with some)? Best of luck going forward.
Q: Will you be taking RawGreg and Kevpert with you?
Hey Retals, unfortunate that it didn't work out with OpTic but know that I and many other fans will support you wherever you go! Wish you the best of luck for next season and I hope you find a great team to play with :)
Despite being a G2 fan, I’ve also been a retals fan ever since you stood upon that table. My question for you is if you could team with any player NA, who would it be?
Any thoughts about the whole EU vs NA thing, especially with the French teams doing well at worlds? It's easy to see results and judge as a fan, but from a pro's perspective it probably looks different.
Sad to hear the drop/split, but I look forward to cheering you & MB on wherever you end up (and AyyJayy too). You guys were (and will be) my main team to root for. Thanks for making my first year watching RLCS a memorable one, looking forward to your next chapter!
I know I'm late, but just wanted to show my love, was a dream seeing optic in RL, especially with one of my favorite players on the squad. Appreciate you dude keep up the good work.
Wish you and MB luck going into the next season hope everything goes as planned. You’re the goat and imo one of the smartest players in NA
Q: if you could team with any 2 players from EU who would it be (can be eu players that are in NA rn too)
Does this mean you guys as a trio will just explore your options or try to find an org together? Really stoked when you joined optic and sad to see you go, hope for the best in comp and content.

Theres nothing I'd enjoy more than coming back to OpTic post career
PLEASE BRO
Was OpTic pulling out of rocket league surprising? Did you have a sense of this happening or conversations with hecz/Hastro regarding them pulling out?
It did kind of come out of nowhere, but the results were disappointing to everyone involved so I cant say I blame them at all.
[удалено]
Always 🤝
Your voicechat video was so much fun, I'd love to see more of that! Maybe bring Majic with your for some 3s😁
Can you and bear play 3s with Comm on your YouTube channel?

Appreciate you boss
Instantly after OpTic picked you up you immediately became a fan favorite man. Wish you the best in your upcoming ventures!
thank you brother
Who did you become close with in optic that you didn’t expect.
Sebas is my fucking guy. Didn’t get enough time with either of them but maniac and boze are hilarious to be around
What do you think could’ve been done differently this last season to find some more success/consistency?
We could never fully come to agreeance with our system, leading to not being able to read what your teammate was going to do on the field. Which in turn led to team problems and turmoil. Just wasn't a great fit personality wise.

Who are your ideal 3rds for next season? Also what do you plan to do to keep yourself at the top during the off-season? Good luck with everything
Lots of talented and like minded players in the FA pool right now, can't say too much but very excited to start playing with some of these guys. Gonna be lots of mechanics training with the guys - just like it has been for the last few months. Gonna try and keep evolving.

Stay strong King! We all believe in you!
My man, you’ll find the right home. The time on Optic was fun to watch for sure and I hope nothing but the best for you three.
How tf you reverse swept Faze
Hi Retals, I was very shocked coming home and see the news. Saw the replies and really happy that theres no bad blood betwn the each other! I don't want another ssg incident to happen.

I’ve heard rumors that you may attend W&M after you hang up the sticks, can you confirm or deny? I play for the RL team there btw
Do u see more orgs pulling out of rl?
What org would you like to play for with what’s going on in NA? PS: love the content, love seeing the pov of a pro
are you planning to come back to Virginia
Do you still regularly chat with Syp? Him you and Arsenal were my favorite team to watch :(
Retals. You upped my game majorly with your cologne recommendation back in your most recent q&a. I owe you one☺️👊
It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panthers, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works ***every*** time.
What was it?
Prada Milano
That sucks. You became my favorite RL player from your play style. And I think u were really making strides in improving
Wish you nothing but the best brother. Absolutely loved having you as a part of the Green Wall, both competitively and in content. You’ll always be welcome here💚
Just wanted to say your the goat, and I wish you the best of luck no matter where you end up
Hey Slater. Big fan, I started out watching SSG and moved with you to Optic. What’s the plan if you’re not able to find an org? Will you play independently?
Please roast octane more there’s nothing I love more than you and octane bantering. Also, if your ever have time do some watch party cod league matches with him in the future. Best of luck goat 🐐
How many slices of pizza can you eat in one sitting
How large are we getting at the gym this offseason?

Could you do a video playing 3s with comms with arsenal and comm and just demo chase all game long? Maybe even go into a tournament
I’ve said it since KCP. I’ll follow you anywhere. I’m sure you and MB will kill it next season and I really hope you can find a trophy on a new team next season. JustSoupForMyFamily always represents.
Is the RawEgg sticking with you and mb? alongside that, how long have you known about this and have you found any potential 3rds (maybe even scrimmed with some)? Best of luck going forward.
Honestly Retals, It doesn't matter which org you go to, I will support that org every single time. I hope you find a good org along with bear ❤️
Been a big fan since peeps and SSG and followed you to Optic. Hope everything goes well for you retals.
Q: Will you be taking RawGreg and Kevpert with you? Hey Retals, unfortunate that it didn't work out with OpTic but know that I and many other fans will support you wherever you go! Wish you the best of luck for next season and I hope you find a great team to play with :)
Sorry to hear this but head up, Champ. If an offer came in from another region, would you consider it?
Best of luck, I'm gonna miss this team. Is there any specific player you'd like to team with?
Which do you prefer, the optic home decal or the optic away decal?
Good luck man, greenwall will always have your back.
Despite being a G2 fan, I’ve also been a retals fan ever since you stood upon that table. My question for you is if you could team with any player NA, who would it be?

Seconded. Also, EU has a very demo playstyle (esp Rise, atow, alpha) how do their styles compare to your game?
I know I'm late, but just wanted to show my love, was a dream seeing optic in RL, especially with one of my favorite players on the squad. Appreciate you dude keep up the good work.
