It gets scary. If we start in loser's bracket at this major, which is a very real possibility now after this weekend. See, I was really excited because we went 2-0. I was like, okay, we went 2-0 on a hard weekend. MN, Cloud9, both good teams. Cloud9's been struggling a little bit.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, yeah, four people. So we've gone to two public courts. We need to get like... We got a private... I handle that. Well, we just need to reserve courts because we had so many people last night. We had like... How many people did we have? We had probably 10 people. So it's like...
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But then I'm like, all right, now we got Miami, but now Miami was super, looks great. They beat FaZe. They're 3-0 right now. I'm like, okay, now we got Miami and Vegas. I'm like, okay, looking at those two weekends, our first weekend was probably harder. Hard to say now, but our first weekend was probably harder. I'm like, we win one match, we're in winner's bracket. Then we come out and go 0-2.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Now we're in a situation where we're either beating FaZe or we're going to go to tiebreaker map counts. And we're kind of relying on other people instead of having the ball in our court, which is always the worst feeling as a competitor, sitting there watching, hoping that they get shit on and we get blessed. You know, it's the worst feeling when it's not in your control.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, we play FaZe Sunday. I mean, if we beat FaZe, we're still in.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
So now we're rooting on Vegas, Cloud9, Minnesota, and LAG to have a terrible final weekend. Just so...
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I mean, granted, they're not worried about their points, but there's a chance they start in losers as well. They don't give a fuck about that.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Faze has looked incredible all year long. It's like, but you don't want to, no matter who you are, you don't want to start in losers. That is nobody wants to start in losers. That is the worst shit. Cause then you go to the event, you have one bad series. You could go home. Like that's just sucks.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But it's going to be an exciting final weekend of the CDL, man. We also have Halo going on at the same time. So I think this weekend we're going to – I'm not going to watch Friday, Saturday, Halo. But then Sunday you're doing your watch party from the event with APG.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Trying to get everybody in and make sure everybody's playing is just way harder at a public court because... Yeah, that shit's annoying.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Hell no, you can't. I mean, hey, you can do whatever you want, but also, Come on. But also now. You can't break up the tree.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But yeah, talk to us about Halo a little bit.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Dude, that's what we always say when we go to an event. We never hit anybody up because we're so locked in.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Well, then, because someone comes and sits down, and then they overstay their welcome, and it's like, what do you say? Get the fuck up.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
It triggers down. That's like the OG.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
That's like someone showing up to an event and being straight ripping. You're like – Or a fucking final boss.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, I mean... The other court we went to the first time had four courts. This one had five. And there were way more people at this court than the last court. Or we just build our own. But it was fun. I probably played like eight games.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Friday Halo is tough just because you know pretty much every single outcome. Saturday gets better, but also it's like...
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, like, unless one of the top teams get upset, it's like, okay, they're probably all going to move on where you think they're going to move on. The semifinals matches on Saturday are good, though, usually. Dude, I'm trying to get some circulation. Because it's like Optic versus FaZe or Optic SSG.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, it'll be a 3-0, and then you're like, okay, well, that match was boring, thankfully, because it's us, but... Yeah, Sunday Halo is... Sunday Halo is... What I'm there for.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
It's not like COD where it's like you could steal a search and now, okay, now it's a series. It's like you get 50 to 30 in Slayer, Map 2. It's like, okay, we lost. You're getting three up.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
We won one. One of the online first ones.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
It's not like a major or anything, but we got one.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
It was like one of the seeding, but that don't count.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But also SR at the, just really quick before you go, when we played SR at the Khe Sanh Land, apparently it was like their best map set.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Like I was talking to the guys and they were like, that was like literally their best fucking map set they could have gotten. It was one best of seven.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Halo already has their maps all out for every single series.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
They have all their maps literally set out. So they know winner's finals, this is what we're playing.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Put more pressure on their backs.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Or... No more fucking tier lists before an event.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Because then they come in, they're like, oh, these motherfuckers just put us in D? Okay. Let's show them something. Then they come out, and they come out with the fire. Yeah. You don't want to give anybody any extra motivation.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
There's talking shit. In a match, like, yo, these guys are fucking dog shit. There's that, and then there's, like... Going further than that and talking shit, like, publicly. Because now, if you start losing, like we did, now the whole community is like, okay.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Zinni was like, how many people came up and were hating at the event?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I said zero. And he's like, okay. And I was like, all right.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
There's always gonna be people that... I get it.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Between Tyler and them, and then I think right when it gets hit to me, I fuck it up. They're like balling and then one gets hit to me and I choke.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
There'll be times Mark will disappear for 30 on the watch party. He'll be in the chat like, I am in battle.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
You sent me some pics. It looked awesome. The venue looked awesome.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Is that like 250 traveling from everywhere?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
250 traveling. That's a lot of people.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
He was sending me pictures of the tacos and enchiladas and shit. Oh, man, they look so good.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Wait, wait, really? You sent me some taquito-looking things.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
The only time I get really bad motion sickness is if I drink the night before. So I made the mistake in Italy. We went out on the boat and we had a pretty heavy drinking night the night before. We went to Capri from Postano to Capri. It was like an hour long boat ride. Me and Zinni were fucked.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
And there was no turbulence. Planes too. I mean, you've seen me on planes when...
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I hate when you can feel the plane slow down and it's like, ooh. It's like you're snapping back into re- I literally identified.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But your body feels it? I hate that.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
He puked up, but swallowed it back in.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
You remember after Matt's Bachelor on the runway?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Wait, was this after Matt's Bachelor? I think it was. Were we on the same flight? I don't think so. I don't think we were, but yeah, after Matt's Bachelor party, the next day, I had an early flight. Oh, man. You went hard as fuck. Literally, we were taxiing to go take off. And the flight attendants are all sitting down. I get up. They're like, sir, you have to sit down.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I looked at the flight attendant. I was like, brother, I need to go in there. Just pale, blank face. Oh, it was bad. Vanilla face? And I came out. They were so nice. They gave me a carbonated drink.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
a full water bottle i was like bro i need to go in there yacked came back out they need to figure out stumbling alcohol weed welcome so shit it was a bachelor party in my defense yeah no you're good you ain't drinking you ain't trying at that you don't need a defense
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Oh, like you were that down there.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
No, we're not in Miami, though. We're going into the city maybe a couple nights to get a nice dinner, but we're not going to be in Miami alone.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
We don't drink like that, though. We didn't drink like that last time. We would have a couple cocktails at night. We weren't, like, going that crazy last time. Liv was crazy. Liv, I mean, that's Sunday night, though. That's the afternoon.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
We wake up because the watch party starts at, like, what, 1 p.m.? So we wake up, go sit by the pool, eat breakfast, and then we start the watch party. It's not like we're just degenerate drinking the whole week.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
We had such a good time last year. You got to come. It's just us hanging out by the pool.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, there's like six bedrooms, I think. There's plenty of room.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I don't know when our flight is, but it's probably Tuesday afternoon.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Come Tuesday. Come fishing with me and Hector Wednesday.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
He's going to come back misbehaving. I'm more worried about Gwen. She just... She gets so over-stemmed when there's other dogs and shit. I mean, even people, she barks.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Oh, yeah, Buzz, when he goes over there, comes back, a different dog.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Buzz gets along with everyone but one dog in our neighborhood.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Fish with me and Hector on Wednesday morning.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Just wear sunscreen. What, you think I don't burn?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yo, wait. That's what we're. Oh, my gosh.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
How about you start doing some hot yoga?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
They're not going to be that big though, right? Hopefully. Hopefully.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I don't know if I can take one of those motherfuckers.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
What? Treyarch is making this game.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Treyarch is usually the best publisher, in my opinion.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah. I've seen you play the mini games.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Follow up to the Black Ops 2 story.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
We say it every year. What if this is finally the savior?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Wall running, no jetpacks, though.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
What, do they got glue on the bottom of their shit? How the fuck are they wall running?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, what am I talking about realism?
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I think Black Ops 6 has some of the best gunplay we've seen in the CDL era. And I feel like a part of that is because of the Omni movement. You can get behind a corner, hit him with a slide out. You can backslide. I like the Omni movement a lot.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, that last one, I'll give you- Strongest, maybe. Fastest, I don't know about that.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Like when you're playing Warzone, you knock one, get behind a wall. He doesn't expect to reach out. You slide out sideways.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yesterday, our lobbies were hell hot. Oh, my God. I don't think I dropped 20 kills all day. And I usually, like, a bot lobby, I'll drop 20 every time. I don't think I dropped 20 one time. They were insane.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I saw Brandon live this morning for eight hours. I woke up at eight and he was on for seven and a half hours already.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
it's all right because he can he can go down to copel texas is was actually talking to me last night she was like i'm so glad you switched your schedule because i used to like probably eight months ago i used to be playing till like 8 9 p.m and that was like my schedule yeah now i'm i get on stream for eight hours and it's like 3 4 p.m because i get on at like 8 39 so it's i put you on that wave yeah i love the morning schedule so much more because then you have like the rest of the day to be able to i've been saying that since fucking 60 50 yeah
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But, like, when you're competing, it's different because you want to sleep in, like, and eights happen at night. So, like, everything, if you want to play extra, is happening at night. So, I finally got on that, like, uncle, old man schedule.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I don't fucking know. Winning all four majors, I don't know what the fuck they are, but I've never watched golf before. Like, ever. Me either, until this year. This was my first ever time watching golf, and it was... Intense? I probably wouldn't sit there and watch it if we weren't on the watch party, but it was something nice to have on the side and be like, oh my gosh.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
This is like champs and he hadn't won champs yet. So this was like the one thing that he hadn't won.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
The amount of weight lifted off his shoulders in that specific moment was probably nuts.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
He wasn't thinking about that at all.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
People were saying, they were like, because we were watching this, and they were like, you missed out on so much through the Tiger era. They were like, this is nothing compared to the Tiger.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Well, there's got to be some luck involved as well.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
There's got to be a lot of luck involved.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But you had more fun than you expected.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Because my biggest thing, it's hard for me to get out of the house just because, I mean, after a long stream, I'm like, I just want to sit on the couch and relax. So it's hard for me to, like, want to get out after that. Yeah. Just because I'm mentally fucking fried. And... Once I did it, I was like, oh my gosh, what am I doing? This is such a fun hobby to have. Get to go hang out. Yeah, it's fun.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yo, that's a run, too. It's a par four, bro. That's a run.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I want to see him in the winner's bracket, play Thursday.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Get to go hang out with the boys. Get a good workout in. It's so much fun. I'm so glad that I finally made the leap.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
But it's like it's weird, because it's like... Yes, you are getting really tired, but there's also breaks in between points, so you get time to catch your breath and shit. You were talked.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
It's not like basketball. No. It's not like basketball where you're just bing, bing, bing.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Hit me in the corner. Bang. Bang.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Not necessarily. There's some centers that could shoot.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I got to park in the garage now, man. That's an extra three minutes. Cut three minutes off my time every time I get here.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
And I'm sore, so I'm fucking hobbling down the stairs.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
He had Lamar Odom, who was on crack.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
I'll just ask who had better handles, AI or Kyrie.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yo, that's fucked up. Dude, I started, I don't know why, but I'm usually decent at serving. I just kept choking my serves over and over again last night. And Tyler was like, dude, don't even worry, 10-minute serve practice, you'll be good. Yeah, it's true. He's like, I get you 10-minute serve practice, you'll be straight.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Hey, I played an older, probably 50, 60-year-old Chinese dude, and he was cooking.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Four games, and we won four in a row, and then we were like, all right, we need to step up. We need to climb up the ladder. Then we played this one dude and the guy I just mentioned, and they beat us 11-1, and I was like, all right, we just got knocked back down to reality real quick. And then we played another game, got slammed again, and I'm like, all right, Mike, our time has ran its path.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
We don't play around, man. We go. I only got five games in.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
That was exactly how the first time went. Just games, games, games. Three hours. Great workout.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Hey, like Big Timer said, the ceiling is the ceiling whenever you're playing. You're playing the top of the ceiling. Whatever area you're in, that's the top of the ceiling. Whether it goes up, down, whatever. That's who you're playing. You can't knock anybody for that.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
Yeah, I mean, I'm happy for AG, obviously. But it was just bad on our part, man. Like, the comms were just bad. Right whenever we went to the listening against Vegas, I was like, we're fucked. Yeah. There was dead air on a skyline hardpoint. There was, like, a lot of dead air. They gave up. No, I don't think they gave up.
OpTic Podcast
Scump Is Going Pro AGAIN | The OpTic Podcast Ep. 221
There just wasn't any, like... I mean, you're playing AG, your former teammate.
