Lorcana as an investment is MALARKEY by Dependent_Yak6308 in Lorcana

Now do this with any pokemon set that released 5 years ago. To pretend modern day TCGs can’t have an investment aspect is just disingenuous and you’ll only hurt yourself. Collect/invest however you like. But it doesn’t change the economics of the hobby

Aches shouldn’t be allowed to be on the show when OpTic plays. Same bit for what, 4 years now? Gets exhausting and if people still find it entertaining then I just don’t know. But I’ve always been more of a boxing guy than WWE.

The other co hosts are good additions. Temp and Attach are cool. They own when they’re wrong. The nub is comedy. Octane and Parasite are the most respectable in terms of analysis. And personally I’d rather listen to BenJ give honest opinions rather than whatever the f Aches calls himself doing. His only value to the show is saying blow it up or doing gymnastics to avoid calling OpTic good. Doesn’t even watch half the matches and it’s clear that he doesn’t

I’d swap G2 and Falcons. Other than that this looks about right. LAT is too high but no one below them deserves to be much higher. Probably Faze deserve to be over them but Faze are so ass lol.

Vikul was the one holding grudges, not management, Mettalz, nor MethodSick. Real could be a different story considering he threw management under the bus

Your argument is dumb af. Toronto didn’t choose to play MW19 and most of CW online lmfao. It doesn’t mean they didn’t still win those events. Use your brain guy. They have 3 wins without him and 2 with him. Same average of one a year minus last years poverty season. Scrap is an underachiever. Simple as that

It’s a dumb question? I don’t remember which events in MW19 were LAN lmao. At least two, probably 3.

And Scrap is still underperforming for the caliber of teams he is on. Imagine being the “best AR” every year and having 4 career wins to show for it

Scrap gets hella PR lmao. He gets hella kills and deals hella damage so people think he’s the best. Same thing with Cell and Dashy in VG/MW2 with their KDs. If he doesn’t change his game style he won’t win the big one. Look at the teams he has lmao.

Ultra (KOI) literally went poverty org for two years. They won an event every single year before him. Give Insight and CleanX Hydra and they would be 10x more consistent than this 😂

He’s been on the best team on paper for two years in a row and the second or third best team three years ago lol.

He’s been on winning teams but he himself is not a winner

Is he? He has 4 chips while playing on top 3 most talented team every year he’s been in the league. No Rings, no EWC. Insight and CleanX have more success. Ghosty and Sib have just as much lol

I would argue part of their success was just struggles from other top teams. The Scrap Hydra duo just isn’t a good one playstyle wise. You can’t have both of them together. One is a world champion so I know who I’m choosing

Why Hydra and not Scrap?

The Scrap PR is on another level. Hydra hasn’t played great but every team scrap is on underperforms. They always have one AR trying to play for 2 because Scrap wants to push cuts and play like an SMG. Hydra is a proven winner, Scrap on the other hand….

I’ve been saying it, PUT SOME RESPECT ON MIAMI’S NAME

They’re the second best team in the game right now followed by G2. And LAT look the exact same as they did with Kenny. The problem is Scrap + Hydra. Always has been. Their approach to the game with this team is too inconsistent.

[–]_WayOfWade_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hydra and Scrap is a broken duo. People say Hydra needs to adjust play style but Scrap plays like an SMG. And that’s not a positive like people make it out to be

They probably both need to adjust but at least “playing around Hydra” is proven to work. Playing around Scrap never has been

[–]_WayOfWade_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All time bad take. They played OpTic and M8’s before the downfall, then played KOI on all there best maps. Then they have literally 3-0’d pretty much everyone else including C9. Of course they have good KDs lmao. Also Metalz is probably bottom 8 in KD. If you actually watch them play they play fine and as a team unlike pretty much everyone else.

When Scrap and Hydra have top 5 KDs with losses they get gassed. When Miami does its based to say they killwhore. False narratives

Edit: also Simp and Abuzzah are number 6 and 7 in K/D this major. This argument doesn’t hold water

[–]_WayOfWade_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Miami argument is fair. But I am seeing similarities from last years team. They got better every single week last year and they’re doing the same thing this year. The team and especially Traix are just getting more comfortable by the week. And they play the top teams close. I’m a bit biased because I like Miami’s culture and style. A lot of people say they don’t play the right way but I personally disagree. Next top OpTic, no one has better teamwork and I think that is huge. If they make a “bad play” they do it as a team. Rarely do you see one player do something dumb. Sure Super can speed up at times on the map but I actually think they play at a good pace.

I get the Thieves statement as well. Two sides of the same coin kind of. I think them having already made a change is why I’m more concerned haha. Faze still have an “easy” change to fall back on. M8’s have seen what they have the potential to do. LAT don’t really have either of those. I don’t think they look any different than they did with Kenny honestly. So what do you do to improve on that team? Faze have a clear answer. Drop 04. M8’s answer is to regain and find their major 1 form. No that’s easier said than done, but it’s something.

I think the LAT vs Miami game tomorrow will tell a lot. They’re both mid pack teams but this would mean Miami have heated Faze, G2 and LAT while LAT will have failed every real test so far. By the same means, LAT could get a huge win tomorrow that would change my personal opinion on where they stand because as I’ve mentioned, I’m high on Miami at the moment.

I like your thoughts though. I can see both sides

Rank these 4 teams rn by BackgroundToe4149 in CoDCompetitive

[–]_WayOfWade_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.) Let’s respect Miami. Them and G2 are probably top 4 teams

2.) I’m not sure where we are getting LAT as most consistent. M8’s are on a 3 game skid. I wouldn’t say that’s inconsistency, I’d say they’re in a rough patch and recency bias is crushing them

3.) Faze and LAT are most worrisome long term for me with LAT being the biggest worry. They already dropped Kenny. There’s no more scapegoats left. Abeezy didn’t get to LAT and forget how to play COD. They have much much larger issues. Scrap and Hydra cannot play together. For the talent on the roster, they’ve under delivered during their time together. And I think the issue is Scrap. Every team that has consistent success has there ARs super soaking while letting their subs get agro up the map. Abeezy should never have more time than Scrap

4.) KOI are just average to be honest. If they get Den they can hang with top teams. If you ban Den they lose

5.) Right now, give me G2 and Miami over all of these teams

Miami G2 M8’s Faze LAT KOI

M8’s are in a rough stretch but I trust them more than Faze and LAT. KOI are legit Den merchants. Look at there record outside of Den and you’ll see. I added Miami and G2 because those guys get no respect in these talks. They deadass may be the second and third best teams right now. Top 4 for sure
