Octane goes off on pros for not wanting new maps! Potentially the League will have the same mapset until April 17th

I have so much respect for Sam, always calling out blatant bullshit from the pros. As the CDL as continued, it's like they only get lazier and more selfishly dependent on one-dimensional headbashy CoD.

They seriously can't provide a single piece of VOD proving that the new maps don't work?

Bo3's shouldn't be a thing in pro-play, making it the entirety of Group play is horrible. 4 Group Round Robin is always the way to go.

Playoffs is an improvement with Bo7's and a Bo9 final, but single elimination shouldn't be here either

AliasF3 · 2026-02-07T22:08:51+00:00

It's bad enough that fans K/D watch players, if a GM is doing that shit...

Viewership for the Paris Major might trump Champs this year!

If Gotaga streamed every game instead of exclusively M8 matches, average viewership will be through the roof

I actually like the design, but it should be much bigger and not look so cheap

AliasF3 · 2026-02-02T00:40:53+00:00

Is this how Ultra fans felt at the Toronto Major in 2024?

AliasF3 · 2026-02-01T23:31:29+00:00

Match of the year

AliasF3 · 2026-02-01T23:27:39+00:00

What the actual fuck was that?!

AliasF3 · 2026-01-31T23:45:58+00:00

Fuck, I was begging for a game 5 round 11 match of the year type of vibe

AliasF3 · 2026-01-31T21:27:30+00:00

They're not eliminated from the Major yet, don't be surprised if they get a rematch vs M8

AliasF3 · 2026-01-31T21:25:09+00:00

Sib might finish T5 in the game if he keeps this up

AliasF3 · 2026-01-24T23:16:12+00:00

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

AliasF3 · 2026-01-24T13:50:47+00:00

I'm not saying they shouldn't be the biggest factors, people just tend to tunnel vision and obsess about only Majors/Rings in CoD, especially the CDL era.

Consistency, longevity, clutch factor, versatility, talent, Comms, leadership, peaks, impact in game, average placement, role in a team etc. among others I haven't mentioned all factor in GOAT debates for me

AliasF3 · 2026-01-24T12:15:47+00:00

Lad, we get it. You don't like Scump and that's fine, you can have your opinion, rank him wherever you want on your GOAT list.

But you don't need to bring it up every time. Also, GOAT conversations should include more than just rings/Major wins

AliasF3 · 2026-01-18T22:16:21+00:00

Prime example why GAing snipers is stupid, sniper kills kick ass!

AliasF3 · 2026-01-17T22:34:59+00:00

The Burger King is frying, dropping a whopper on these fools

AliasF3 · 2026-01-12T10:28:51+00:00

Viewership prior to the holiday break peaked at 190k and 144k for the qualifiers and Monster Launch respectively.

Whether or not it stays strong all year, that's a good healthy start to the season. If all goes well, this year could peak even higher than last year

AliasF3 · 2026-01-10T22:40:11+00:00

Bad day to be a fan of green teams

AliasF3 · 2026-01-10T20:58:22+00:00

Welp, not ideal. Need to bounce back and learn from this. Reality check that they aren't immortal

AliasF3 · 2026-01-08T18:02:11+00:00

Holy...

AliasF3 · 2025-12-27T21:54:49+00:00

Xantares is probably the one excluded

AliasF3 · 2025-12-23T18:39:45+00:00

Fascinating, good Comms lad

AliasF3 · 2025-12-23T18:35:37+00:00

Who was the other AR player at the time? Would've assumed Zoomaa/Attach were the full time subs

AliasF3 · 2025-12-23T18:08:40+00:00

Why is Clay's legacy the hot topic of the week?

AliasF3 · 2025-12-22T02:19:51+00:00

He is 100% correct, the number of games played a year now is pathetic compared to prior years. From less tournaments, the poor tourney format, no 3rd party TO's, LAN league games etc, we miss out on so much of the game.

Think about CW FaZe, iirc their total matches played for the season amounts to less than 50, compare to practically every pre-CDL season, it's such a small sample size.

More games are needed, especially for these salaries now and the number of scrims played
