We’re unhappy because the old shit events were 1000x more hype than these recent events. I remember seeing teams go through the fucking ringer on lan and it made the weekend so much better. Idgaf about any cdl events because they’re straight up resident sleeper. Sentinels from halo started in the open bracket and placed 3rd, granted that’s halo but it’s the same how cod used to be.

    Imagine the hit COD Esports and Call of Duty in general takes when Scump, Crim and Clay decide to retire. I think we are literally witnessing the end of call of duty as a respected E sport and it sucks! Terrible games, no content, no effort from Activision. Warzone will be what Call of Duty solely becomes unless some miracle happens in those offices with the suits.

      As shitty as it sounds warzone is really what killed competitive. Not only did it take eyes away it also took Activisions attention away. They make so much money off wz they just don't give a fuck about comp. Fr i feel like the only thing keeping comp alive is the personalities. Obviously people like crim scump and clay but also people like maven and merk are a big reason it's still here. If maven and merk weren't pushing things with Activision I bet they'd care even less

    Honestly the most entertaining time to watch cod was when all teams would stream scrims. It was fun to hear the arguments and discussions. It was cool to hear trash talk and its good for a COD to have players you love to hate like Aches. Having all the players get along and be politically correct makes for bad entertainment, and since the game is so bad to watch the entertainment needs to carry it.

Hearing it from all the guys at the table that the money is there, but the people fear just the initial steps of getting themselves out there is in fact daunting. Shit, even I'm afraid to do it.

    When are people going to acknowledge the problem is that call of duty has yearly releases? Other eSport titles have a lifetime longer than 1 year which gives the developers ample time to dial in all aspects of the game and add more content to continue to breath life into the game. Activision just releases a broken game, people buy it, everyone complains about the many issues the game has, a year passes, rinse and repeat.

    If it wasn't for optic I would have forgotten about cod already. It's trash rn and there is no way I'm buying it, but I'm here for the optic content.

    The problem with the "everybody should be making content and building a brand" argument is that they'll all be competing for the same sets of eyeballs. I think there's only room for a handful of people to be really successful on the content side of things in cod comp space. I think the onus is on the devs and Activision to start giving us an acceptable product that people can get excited about again.

      @@ddogjrwalk Views are already pretty damn low for the non-optic guys trying to stream and there's only a handful of them trying to do it. Imagine if all 48 CDL pros tried to get on the stream grind. Views would be spread so thin that I bet most of them would be getting less than 100 viewers, even less than 50. Slasher or whoever else streaming scrims isn't going to do a damn thing to build fanbase imo. I don't blame them whatsoever for not doing it.

      It's not about being really successful, it's about building a niche market and passing the torch. That's how it is in the beginning. Pros need to stop being selfish and think about the ecosystem that can be built. COD will die without an ecosystem.
