If Optic roster consists of Dashy, Shotzzy, Envoy and Drazah, that's not a scary team. Especially against Faze if they upgrade from Slasher to Pred or Scrap. GGs.
Pred is like shottzy this is why he will not be a good fit factually pred actually needs to be like shottzy because he is like this this is where he thrives he thrives with the roaming plus the killwhoreing
need more flanks like this man, nothing but smiles on my face and genuinely makes my day hearing u guys troll while len tries to get his point across 😭😭😭😂😂, love u guys man
I agree with Parasite 110% on the OpTic sub duo conversation. The fact that Aches said Shotzzy doesn’t take routes lets me know he doesn’t pay attention to ANY OpTic match because that man Ant was the route man the WHOLE YEAR in HPs . Man Pat just yells over ppl who bring him logic smh . Also PRED joining would lift the slaying burden off Ant’s shoulders which is why I think he’s the PERFECT fit for the team
I agree and disagree, the issues with Ant and Pred is the same one Optic always has. And that's pairing up two roaming slayers. With no actual dedicated entry man. Which they would also.have bringing in Envoy. However if fit is not the focus for Optic I definitely go with the superior talent in Pred over Envoy.
@@arc7xangel897Pred is just the overall better choice. Even on the content front, Pred is more active than Dylan on streaming and youtube etc. Only thing for Dylan is his previous chem with dashy and the rest of the OpTic org.
I actually agree with Pat's conclusion, not the argument. This team would maybe play better if Shotzzy moved to a more entry fragger role given his playstyle and talent, especially if you're gonna pick up Pred.
@@arc7xangel897 strongly disagree with this . OpTic’s problem last year was inconsistency from the Sub duo in particular slaying on LAN . PRED brings consistency to the team especially on LAN . Envoy’s play style is too similar to Ant aswell as he has had slaying inconsistencies himself over the years
Ant wasn't just the route man. Huke also took a lot of good ass routes too but the duo was just too inconsistent in the slaying department. Optic looked unbeatable when the subs fried.
Zoomaa; Been seeing some negativity on Reddit about the show and Pat. Just want you to know that is all noise and has no weight... Loving the vibes on the Flank and I have been watching since episode one. People forget where it all started. A highlight of my day during lunch or after work is getting to watch these episodes; Pat consistently brings the memes and laughs with great hot takes. Thank you for all the content and the amazing cast you have brought along.
Crazy show but I enjoyed it gentlemen! I think since rostermainia was dull last year and everyone was still on their options, has made this year really crazy.
We love you Ben, love your takes, you are an impeccable compliment to the show keep up the great work gentlemen. Thanks for the off season S tier entertainment
Haggy had the best point on the fall of envoy and shotzzy as a duo that makes complete sense how they both play and just because ant's clips look very fast and flashy, when u look at the map envoy and shotzzy play so alike thats why i think pred > envoy even if dyl has a ring pred would open up more opportunities for shotzzy to thrive in
Everyone wants an OpTic salary but OpTic players also get paid for content. And orgs don’t want to put time into content because they don’t see OpTic numbers on content. It’s this vicious cycle of.. no content, no money for base salaries or FACILITIES, team is subpar, team doesn’t earn winnings, org dies.
Aches saying “thank god” to after Haggy said “you would’ve lost Hector” is the most factual shit said this episode. Crazy how an ego manic has held an org back for years without the fan base saying anything. Hecz is the Jerry Jones of cod
How has he held the org back? What has he done? If anything he is the reason why Optic has stayed true to its roots, unlike Faze which went super big but all it’s OGs claim they have no say in the orgs decisions.
2022 Flank: these players make too much it’s insane! 2023 Flank: what if they have to use their salary to pay for housing!? They won’t make enough! Aches said it best it’s a show and these 4 spend 2 hours throwing around assumptions and contradictory statements
Ben is hilarious, he refuses to put any blame on the faze trio and always puts the blame on their fourth when their trio really hasn’t been consistent together for the last few years with different fourths, if they perform the same with different fourths, is it really the fourth’s fault or is it one of the trio?
I mean the faze trio has placed top 3 at every double elim tournament except one since the cdl started, that’s the definition of consistent, sure they aren’t consistently winning but neither is anyone else
as a Faze fan, what else could we do/say though? We flirt with dropping 1/3, teams catapulting on that instantly. Can’t afford to lose of them, keep rotating the 4th till top 3 finishes go away 😭🤷🏽♂️
this is so faded, faze are by far the most consistent team in the league. That core trio has the best average placings out of any competing pros, it makes 0 sense for them to split up they just have to find their fourth.
OpTic are absolutely faded if they let Pred go to another team. What's changed from 3 months ago when they tried getting him from Seattle? He's been a top 5 player the last couple of seasons. They need to build a team around him and Shotzzy and possibly Dashy if that's a good fit with the 4th
Aches is the prime example of that even in esports, the best players typically aren't the best coaches/managers/owners. Standard is just too high and usually unrealistic.
This was hilarious, Ben being super serious and the rest of them just trolling was straight comedy
😂 Ben was tryna keep the train on track 🚂
Pat and Chris were like: all work and no play....
Nah Parasite was being a 👶🏻
In a good way, Ben is like watching ESPN and he levels out the show.
Other than giving Intel that's what he gotta do lol
I feel like roster mania is just when your teacher let you pick your own groups for group projects😂
project never gets done, and 1 person ends up doing the whole thing by himself 😂
Lmfaooo
How is this the most liked comment?
@@nauts9132platinum fan base
Yeah and once you have your team he says no not like this and switches one of your 4 mates to another group
That therapy session for NYSL last year worked lol.
Hail Hryda !!!!
Getting an mvp season from the FLANK!
drama was so entertaining though especially getting them on the flank
@@oReIoadcrim was bringing all the entertainment back then
Haggy was bleeding passion this episode lmfao
He was acting like a man child crying cause he’s not a coach
I’m not a Haggy hater, but I hate when he gets that whiny ass tone in his voice. It sounds like he’s a kid arguing with his siblings lol
Chris was dipping into his feelings 😭
He wants that coach spot lmao
Ong
One of my fav episodes ever. Love the passion. First take vibes
Haggy and slaya going at it was hilarious 😂
Thanks for the quick turn around time on the uploads vauels, I missed the show earlier on stream, glad I get to watch it on YT same day 🤙🏻
Not gonna lie. My favorite episodes are the ones like this. Chris and pat just going at it! Love this shit!!!!!
Best episode since the Top 30 all time list. Banger!
Whatever you're paying Aches it ain't enough, give him more
Best episode of the flank I've heard so far 👏👏👏👏
Great episode😂 I love a rogue Flanks Every once in a while! Well done fellas

Yea, not really great if they’re keeping Dashy.
@@Seraph89_dashy is a hp and snd demon. Anyone would be lucky to have him lol
Faze were getting absolutely pissed on 3-0 slammed by Optic all season with huke and ghosty 😂😂😂 and you think Draz and Envoy wont bully them 😂🤦♂️
@@Seraph89_ lol dashy was their most consistent player this year you’re faded
Only scrap or hydra would make faze unbeatable again. Can't have that cold war was so boring to watch because we all knew faze couldn't lose.
Shotzzy really needs a dedicated entry man like a Kismet to truly enable him.
Pred
If Shotzzy and Abezy ever played together 😯😯😯
@natehillman1077 Pred is not a entry Mack is for his team Pred is a baiting smg that roams around and slays
Pred is like shottzy this is why he will not be a good fit factually pred actually needs to be like shottzy because he is like this this is where he thrives he thrives with the roaming plus the killwhoreing
@@Dikwaakcould of been happen if it wasn’t for that meddling scump

@@Seraph89_facts but optic fans will never admit it 😂
Hecz needa be under investigation lol
@@WhatDude1🤡
I loved this episode so much. I was laughing so hard last night watching this man. Love these guys and the dynamic between all 4 is sooooo funny
Hagrid was out debating everyone. He’s getting very good at conveying his points!
The comment about Vegas legion being pissed that the minimum salary is raising has me on the floor🤣🤣🤣
31:28 envoy and shotzzy play insanely similar, anyone who’s watched the past 5 years knows that for a fact.
Hell no aches was right. Shotzzy is always the first one in bashing his head in and dying over extending. Envoy plays like a rat with routes.
@@kingderk just because shotzzy moves at the speed of light doesnt mean hes the first one in bashing his head its the opposite actually
@@JackLikesCarrotshow does that make any fucking sense.
@JackLikesCarrots how many hardpoints does he need to choke for you get he bashes his head in at the speed of light. Think of fortress lmao
@@JackLikesCarrotsyou clearly don’t watch the matches… He’s too fast for his own good always flying in and dying.. Dude plays like an entry
I love pat 😂 you always need that 1 person in the squad thats opposite opion to everyone else. Its keeps it interesting.
Parasite showing why he deserves a coaching spot
I feel like this year will be a year where every team will win matches
Bro why do they always think that these type of flanks are the worst???! The arguing and debating is literally what makes flank the best show 🤔
I LOVED THIS EPISODE - DONT STOP THE PASSION TOM!!
This scrap situation is gonna be just like when Seattle had pred situation
And they are both going to Optic 😂
@@kronicassault1374after sending them home back 2 back champ years ? 😳 would be a story for sure ..
Must admit I loved aches this episode
HILARIOUS EPISODE! Great work guys 💪🏼
One of my favorite episodes ever, I could not stop laughing lmaoooo
This episode of The Flank was Litty kitty 🐈⬛ 🔥
We need an Aches ‘interruption’ counter
The octane thing aged well lol 29:30
Aches: *makes a good point*
Haggy: “don’t care…” *continues with same take he’s been making the previous 30 seconds*

Shottzy be running n dying all game every game
Crazy show but I enjoyed it gentlemen! I think since rostermainia was dull last year and everyone was still on their options, has made this year really crazy.
Best flank I’ve ever watched 😂😂😂
FaZe need to consider owakening to main ar
This was one of the best flanks ever 😂
who tf invited Len, he never touched a controller in his life and he thinks he know better than world champs
Aches was a demon this ep lmao I love it
I wish Tom talked more too I think he should have the floor way more
I love Pat. This man is smarter than everyone in this lobby.
Everytime pat talked about beans I was dying laughing. Great episode
The energy was absolutely insane this ep
I do agree with Pat, Shottzy needs to be head first abeezy style head first punch em in the mouth. He has the talent.
We love you Ben, love your takes, you are an impeccable compliment to the show keep up the great work gentlemen. Thanks for the off season S tier entertainment
His takes are for fan service they’re really bad, para and aches give professional takes
@@otbadhabitz6484 yeah assuming that’s why he’s the executive producer and getting paid for these shows. Makes sense.
Whats crazy is Haggy and Pat were spittin when talkin about FaZe but Ben always feels the need to defend simp and mc even when the criticism is valid
ben think she’s part of faze team lmao
Love the passion from all the guys🫡🫡
1:33:33 we want more of this zooma
The faze bias I normally wouldn’t agree with but it is real in this episode. 😂😂😂
Lmfaooo I love these types of episodes man, we neeed more roster mania 😂
the more i watch the flank, the more i think its just zoomaa and haggy giving opportunities to challenged individuals
Love how Zooma won't spill private chats, top guy
25:16, LAT/Ultra blow ups def should lead to a convo of them somehow lol. Ultra blowing it up though to be cheap should target Draz/Kenny
Slayer the goat I swear “give me 3 rookies and I’m winning a championship”

Only episode where everyone else was more faded than tommy
Nah I gotta talk to pat about the spiders on x defiant. I don’t wanna get face ****** by spiders unless imma turn into Spider-Man
this episode was great
When haggy made aches bust out laughing I died 😂😂
Tommy rant at the end of the chapter was my highlight 🤣
Vegas would offer 10 bucks and a sandwich for Scrap then be outta the bidding war
Amazing episode of The Flank Tommy❤❤❤
50:15 was absolutely hilarious
Pat changing his point/narrative as the conversation evolves, so he doesn't appear wrong. That's ratty.
Octane or Dashy with that Faze trio would be hella interesting.
Pure comedy. Great episode.

inside the nba of cod
I kinda agree with Pat about shotzzy, if shotzzy played a more entry sub role he could be way more impactful
2022 Flank: these players make too much it’s insane!
2023 Flank: what if they have to use their salary to pay for housing!? They won’t make enough!
Aches said it best it’s a show and these 4 spend 2 hours throwing around assumptions and contradictory statements
Haggy was cooking
great show lmfao
Loving the sunglasses tommy
Tommy off that Papanya, Ben’s eyes look like he gobbled up 60mgs of them beams, Haggy on tilt, Pat spitting fugaze. Love the off season
I understand Minnesota isn’t a top team but just brushing aside Fame who was the best player on that team when he switched back to a sub is crazy

@@Jockuptown👍🏻
We need Huke, Standy, Ghosty, and Clay on a team together
I think if Shotzzy can switch his play style this next season like Abezy he would be able to get in flow state I feel like and break with his movement
if scrap, drazah or pred end up on faze, its a wrap
Patrick Price spitting about assumptions 😂😂😭
This was better than the NYSL episode 😂
You think since they out placed optic and faze their heads in the cloud and they can get who they want and do what they want ?
Can confirm rent in any major Canadian city is absolutely outrageous right now

When’s this going up on Spotify?
Octane/ SIb, Ghosty, Kenny, Cleanx/ Pred for LAT
these guys should all get in the ring and duke it out
I agree with Haggy 100%, Ben Coddles tf outta the core 3 on faze.

Ok hear me out... Shotzzy Dashy Pred Scrap. Make it happen phenom!
