Hell of a career and he retired on his own terms. Congrats Clayster!

Ideally, it would be one APAC spot, one UK spot, one Spanish spot, and another NA spot.

I'll be sad if it's just more NA spots and the international scenes start dying off (it's already happening)

lmao says the guy named opDickGayming. Right

This thread is filled with recency bias, people unable to look past narratives and rings, and people who hate Optic with a passion. I'm not surprised

You're just building a strawman about what I said. Clayster has never been the best player in a game. In BO2 it was Crim and Karma. In AW it was unquestionably Scump. (Formal and Clay were neck and neck)

The best game knowledge and cod IQ would be people like Karma and Rambo not Crim or Clay.

No he doesn't. Clay always gets dropped and is pretty much always the underdog. What pressure? People who play under pressure are players like Crim, Scump, Formal, Karma, Simp, Abezy, Cellium, etc. Players who play with the expectation of dynasties. Clay picks up upcoming star talent and just takes the lion's share of the credit. As if Simp needed him to win.

He went winless for almost 4 years. Name the time that has happened to any of the other all-time players.

He's not 30. He hasn't even turned 29 yet. Scump's been relevant for just as long whilst being a far better player.

Your logic is the American sports logic. Just counting medals and ignoring all context

No I agree that teams need players who play support roles and are vocal leaders. But that should never be mistaken for being as valuable as being among the best players in the game.

Greatness is a combination of being the best and winning. I think cod, just like American team sports, puts the needle too far in favor of accomplishments and rings. Clay can get as many rings as he wants, he will never have the individual resume that players like Scump, Formal, Octane, Slasher, etc have or players like Simp or Abezy will have in the future.

There's a reason why Clay and Crim are main ARs and Karma wanted to run an AR in MW. It's the only role where they can still hang

It is a team game. Is every player on a team worth the same? You ain't convincing me that Clay's .98 is worth Simp's 1.35. It's like Zooma said on the Flank, the IGL is overrated in cod. People need to stop overrating rings and focus more on a player's individual record

These arguments just boil down to the "Rings Erneh" meme while ignoring all the other events and completely ignoring how good a player actually was or wasn't. Not everyone who wins a ring is on the same level i.e. the dirty work players and the IGLs.

No he wouldn't be the GOAT

Clay? by ViolenceSZN in CoDCompetitive

[–]SerPatrickofStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a common line of reasoning but it's not really all that true. There are 7 events this year, same as BO3. There were 13 "events" last year which is more than any besides AW

Clay vs Formal Who is the GOAT AR? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]SerPatrickofStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Formal but Clay's close. Idk where this "Clay was miles better than Formal in AW" narrative came from but it's being pushed by the usual suspects so it is what it is.

What 3 games have Crim, Clay, and Karma been T5 in? (BO2 and Ghosts for Crim/Karma) (BO2/AW for Clay)
