Breaks my heart to see my OpTic family & friends go through everything that they have recently, I wish the best of luck to everyone at OpTic and hope they can find a way to stick together. I grew up and matured into the adult that I am today because of OpTic. Thank for everything you all have done for the community and the fans. Love you

This is why I love FORMAL, because he always speaks whats on his mind.

Man it feels like forever ago with formal being on optic but I hope after this year and change apart, the old team was able to rekindle those great relationships. Because at its peak, those guys were perfect for each other

Felt like Formal was slowly pouring his heart out in this interview

Damn. Crim just showed that his approach really works.

“When attach 1v3’d like 6 times” 😂😂😂

Hecz is a really good interviewer, dude directs the conversation but makes sure to let guests answer fully and asks all of the right questions

I used to be the biggest Optic fan back in middle school. I'll be graduating from college soon and I see they're breaking up...kind of sad to see.

Man I remember trick shotting and getting into a game with OpTic Jambi, eXxStacY, Di3sel.... that’s what got me into making videos and what still gives me inspiration to this day to be the best I can be at editing. I hope watching OpTic grow into what it was taught other people to go for whatever dreams they love and to never lose sight of that

Yon the camera shack at about 4:11 made me have to go back 3 times and rewatch to make sure it wasnt my eyes! I was actually concerned for about 10 seconds lmao!

I’d love to hear what dtreats is up to now in a podcast.

Hecz hearing “we went into events, not practicing in 3 weeks” 😂😂😂😂 definitely didn’t know about that

Anyone else been playing cod since they were 12 and grew up through all the cods. Played every single one since cod 4. I’m 23 now. Memories over the years. Man cod has changed.

I remember COD champs for IW in orlando and me and my friends came from around the back to get to the front. Matt and Seth are out there talking, smoking a cigarette, and you could almost see just how shit was falling apart. I see em, go OMG, and say to them "I'm a huge fan and been one since blah blah blah". You know how it is when you meet people youve been watching since middle school. And idk if it was an every occasion thing but we just got the biggest scowl back and not a word and I wasn't trying to have a convo or anything. I just wanted to say hi and dip but they were not having it. We walked away but I could just feel the tension as a fan. I looked to my friends and my one friends says "wow these guys are dicks" and i say "Im just wondering if they even want to win this shit".

I can feel for Formal on the team dinners and all that. You spend so much time talking with and working with the same 3-4 guys, you might just want time away from them. I love the people I work with, but after 8 hours with them every day I want to go home and not talk to them for a little while.

I am not a longtime COD fan, actually I like Battlefield a lot but I have kept up with COD professional esports and I think like some people say, Formal has very insightful retrospects. Around 10:45 he says that individually they had superior shooting mechanics than everyone else, however, regarding tactics, they weren't playing the game properly. I think that is still the case and nowadays that shows more...
