What are /r/OpTicGaming's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Its gotta be hell of you're a fan of the EnVy org, you must despise OpTic.

1. They were going to pick up Formal & Crim, but due to backlash, they decided to drop Formal instead, leading to OpTic gaining what essentially became the greatest dynasty in CoD history, that nV could of bad.

2. Top tier Halo team. Second only to CLG. OpTic? They barely can qualify for Wor- annnnd they bought CLG. Now they own a two time World Champions Halo Team.

3. CS:GO. Pick up former LDLC. European squad. Win a major. Things are great, OpTic isn't even in CS:GO.

two years later

EnVy's CS:GO team is a shell of it's former self.. Meanwhile, OpTic picked up a tier 3 NA team at the beginning of the year, and now have won the biggest tournament a NA team has ever won, Fucking Eleague, which was broadcasted on television.

1. "OK. We've been in the Gears scene since 2015... It's small. We're the second best team... Surely OpTic won't do fuck us here too, right?"

OpTic enters Gears Of War, by Picking up #1 team, Enemy!

"Fuck."

And 5. EnVy was in NALCS since May of 2016, and now have been denied re-entry... With OpTic possibly taking there place.

Seriously. We really fuck EnVy a ton. No wonder Hastro is so pissed at us.

Overwatch free weekend was just announced. I am writting this because i guess people may want to get a feel for the game etc. It's going to be November 17–20 on all platforms (pcs, ps4 and xbox1).

On other news: Jake appeared on the ow podcast: "The Overview".

ps. I'm really glad that noone of the team was involved in the Kephrii drama. I'd be really dissapointed if anyone from our team went Taimou (was recorded gossiping/witch-hunting about it in discords, and doing public readings, yelling "do it do it" while people call Kephrii's wife etc) on this shit. I find it really weird that noone is criticising him negatively about it, it's one of the most despicable things i've ever heard any overwatch pro be involved in.

I find this website to be fairly useful. Bare in mind that if only one aspect of your computer isn't good enough it will fail you but you will likely be able to still play the game. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Optic plays Thursday at 8:30 est. Honestly the schedule is silly for Optic. They will play Thursday and if they win won't play again until SUNDAY.

Which if I'm right, currently puts the Groups at this:

Who would have thought coming into 2018 that the first team to bring home a win would be DOTA!??!? GG to the guys looking better and better!

Man yesterday watching Rank S stuff everyone was shitting on RUSH that apparently he is super toxic. (Mainly Stewie and Steel)

I never thought of him as a toxic player. You can kinda see here after his team got 1 vs 5'd that he was super pissed (but then again its kinda expected when you choke that) https://www.twitch.tv/relyksog/v/61304340?t=2h31m07s

Got some good new and bad new.

Good news: OpTic Halo is still 17th seed

Bad news: They're behind 16th by 3000 points

More good news: The team in 15th is splitting up but the person who made the chart kept them just in case.

>The first 12 Pool Play spots will be grandfathered in based on the top-12 teams from CWL Pro League Stage 2:

> Roster restrictions apply: Stage 2 teams must retain three players from their roster to qualify

>Any top-12 team that does not retain the majority of its roster will be replaced by teams with the highest amount of combined CWL Pro Points from the 2018 season.

So we might not auto qualify depending on how many teams change

Edit: So TJ is 5th, Scump and Crim are 28/29, and Dashy is 45th in pro points

I got into an FFA lobby once with Sender and he ended up winning by 5 kills. I only got in a couple gunfights with him face to face and he won them all. I was pretty much only able to kill him from behind. Surprisingly enough though, I was probably one hitmarker away from turning on him at one point. I also got into a hardpoint lobby with Goonjar for about 5 games. He had about 10 kills more than me each game but I managed to save a couple clips of me killing him off of some of the hills. The clips aren't anything crazy but I felt special because it was Goonjar. I'm sure Goonjar nor Sender were trying too hard when I matched up against them though. Here's the link for the Goonjar clips: HP With Goonjar

It's been announced that it will be in August but that is about it.

Edit: Here is a link. Scroll down until you see the CWL 2018 Season image, you can see they have Champs listed for August. https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2017-10/CWL2018_SeasonReveal

Feel free to come over and join us on /r/investing or /r/stocks and read the sidebars for a beginner's introduction to the basics! After that, it's a whole lot of reading online (Investopedia is an absolute godsend), but also books (A Random Walk Down Wall Street or The Intelligent Investor are great starting points), online classes etc. There is also a real treasure trove of YouTube channels that cover everything you could possibly want to know about the market, like trading strategies, analysis methods, derivatives tutorials etc. That'll get you a pretty solid understanding of the base of how the market works, and get you some insight into modern theories, terms, news etc.

By no means an expert, but would love to answer any more questions you may have either here or by PM!

EDIT - Sidenote, I recommend these with the idea you aren't aiming to make a full career out of this, but rather work at it on the side, otherwise OP's response is great!

As /u/cust0m_ mentioned, you can get notifications through an app called IFTTT. I've never set something up for specific types of threads, but it seems like this might be what you need. If you want something more generic for all posts on the sub, you can try this one. The downside is that the notifications are usually delayed by 15-30 minuted. The good news is that we usually put up the match threads 30 minuted or so before the matches start, so that should even out haha.

Another alternative would be to set up your own personal Discord server and integrate the Mee6 bot. The Mee6 bot has the ability to post a message to a channel whenever a new thread is submitted on a sub. That's usually quicker, but lately the bot has been having some issues and will be 40 minutes or more behind.

Yeah we stopped updating once the team changes started

There's a guy at the TeamBeyond forums that keeps an updated document with the top 64 teams here:

• United Kingdom - main islands

Just incase people start thinking it's p2w, there are free alternatives for most things in dota plus such as Overwolf's DotaPlus. The biggest advantage you get out if it is being able to see your current net worth which isn't much, it's just a bunch of QoL stuff.

Nah, it's randomized after A1, B1, C1, D1.

>. The #4, #5, & #6 NA CWL Pro Points Teams and the #2 EU CWL Pro Points Team will be randomly drawn, one into each Pool. Teams will be drawn into Pools, starting with Pool D. The #2 EU CWL Pro Point Team must be drawn into Pool A, B, or C. If a Team is drawn into a Pool that would break the rule, the Team drawn will be placed into the next eligible Pool.

And so on, Dallas rules

If you are really interested and you like to read, there's the OpTic Gaming book, it covers the history of the org and the general idea behind it pretty well. Amazon link but available in other places too

Thats not how a VPN works... VPNs transmit all of your traffic through a designated server, for example: All of my traffic is going through Private Internet Access, USA NewYork. When I was being targeted by a DDoS attack, I was perfectly fine but if I needed to, I could just switch servers. Its the easiest thing and Nade and Everyone else should use one.

I wouldn't trust that yet. Anybody can edit a wiki. Also they're still 15th.

TeamBeyond has everything Halo esports related

This is the best thing I could find, on the 360icons forums (not posted by Proofy). It's not much but looks like something he might have posted at some point:

Here is what Proofy said about the whole subject.

"Hey Twitter, today has been an absolutely crazy day for me as you might imagine. With the release of the final episode of The Controller coming out (http://www.gamespot.com/events/thecontroller/index.html) I knew there would be a lot of feedback on my forfeiting the final challenge.

I'm not allowed to say to much with The Controller but I will say that what you saw wasn't the full story. Reality shows are always edited in such a way as to hype up the drama and that's exactly what happened here.

There are definitely some things I wish I could have gone back and changed with my reactions, but what you DIDN'T see in the episode tells a much truer story.

With all that said, I just want to take a moment to congratulate Mrs. Violence & Severn Lang on their epic win, to thank The Controller for the experience & to apologize to my friend Alex @damitsgood808 once again for losing our shot at it. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would love to be a part of something like it again in the future."

/u/Underscore_Blues over at /r/CoDCompetitive linked the CWL 2019 Pro League Handbook, here's some key points https://www.callofduty.com/content/dam/atvi/callofduty/esports-new/2019-rules/2019_Pro_League_HB.pdf

• Each team plays 22 matches during the Regular Season (Division Play) stage: 2 best of 5s against the 7 other teams in the Division, and 1 best of 5 against the 8 teams in the other Division
• Since we won Las Vegas we'll be in Division A, together with Luminosity Gaming. They place in Division A due to Vegas' 4th seed also going into Division A
• Top 4 from each Division qualify directly for the Playoff bracket, while 5th-8th from each Division qualify for the Play-in Bracket. The 8 teams in the Play-in will have to play each other in a Single Elimination bracket for the last 2 spots in the Playoff bracket, where they'll play against one of the 2 teams which placed 4th in their Division. Teams which finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their Division get a 1st round bye, second round is 2nd vs 3rd (opposing Divisions of course, so Division A #3 vs Division B #2) and teams which finished 1st in their Division will play a team from round 1.
• Each team has to pick up 1 substitute player from outside the league (this was already confirmed way back when we had the 2019 season reveal, but I thought I'd mention it anyway). This pick-up is mandatory and might be used in any Regular Season, Pro League Cup or Championship event
• Teams are allowed to make as much roster changes as they want, although these changes have to made during 1 of 3 periods: March 1st - March 8th, April 5th - April 22th and June 17th - June 20th (hopefully wont apply to us, but you never know)

Prize Money is as follows:

wut ?

"Maven: For group A, I think OpTic Gaming takes this easily. I guess the big question here is for Epsilon. Do we get the Epsilon we saw in group play in Stage 2? Or do we get the Epsilon we've seen over the past couple of months before that, a team that made a run at Champs last year to finish fourth? I think we're going to get that Epsilon.

I think they are going to take a top two spot here easily, but at the same time, I think Echo Fox was one of the stronger looking teams at the LCQ. 3sUP certainly look good in Search and Destroy. They were horrendous in Hardpoint and I think that's going to make them struggle here.

The only difficult call for me is I guess Echo Fox, because we haven't really seen them compete against top teams. I feel pretty comfortable saying OpTic Gaming and Epsilon eSports come out of this one. I think Epsilon's going to rebound from their poor week."

edit: my bad, wrong article

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/event/2017/cod-champs?bracket-tab=2 here's the bracket if this is right. From this, we will probably play eLv WBR1, then either C9/e6 (whichever comes 1st in their pool) WBR2. Then FaZe/Rise are in the other quarter, setting up a probable OG/FaZe WB semifinals. LG getting 2nd seed helps us a lot, now it's just FaZe that is the super scary team. Anything can happen in IW though can't underestimate anyone

CouRage: I think the Champs MVP is going to be Crimsix for OpTic Gaming. I think he finally gets his recognition, I think he has a fantastic weekend, and I think he winds up putting up some of his best numbers for the year. He makes some clutch plays and he finally wins at Champs as he looks down on Patrick Price and then says, "I'm daddy now."

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2017-08/cwl-championship-roundtables-bracket-edition

This is a good read, they talk alot about their champs predictions. They all believe Optic will be crowned on Sunday, and I couldn't agree more.

Actually it looks like it's based on the head-to-head.

>iii. Ranking & Tiebreakers > >1. Group Play Ranking (1st-4th) will be determined using each Team’s Record of Matches won and lost. > >2. Group Play Standings ties will be broken using Head to Head Match Winning Percentage (Group Play Matches Won vs. Tied Teams / Group Play Matches Played vs. Tied Teams).

(from https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2016-08/Champs-2016-Rules)

~~So if complexity win another match OG can't get 1st.~~

Edit: Ah I hadn't noticed that coL already played and won their second match vs LDLC, so they're 2-0. But I also realised what I said wasn't correct as there's still a chance for OG to be first since if PNDA beats coL and OG beats PNDA and LDLC then coL, OG and PNDA are tied on 2 wins each and are also tied on h2h wins at 1 each. So it would move on to looking at h2h map count, followed by overall map count. (Basically, you're right and ignore me.)

Brackets got changed around once again. Are they just not proof checking? That's the 3rd time they've been different lol.

For reference: https://www.callofduty.com/esports/story/2016-08/Champs-2016-Rules

https://www.callofduty.com/esports/player/scump/stats this is just season 1 but if you go on the top right you can see season 2 as well. Bomb plants is not even close, hill time he has way more in season 1 than Karma but a little less in season 2, averages a lot more caps, and lastly more uplink carries. Again I'm too lazy to look for stats from the previous 3 events but I'm sure Scump leads in some of those categories as well. So again just as much if not more on the objective sides of things which always gets overlooked cause a slayer having those stats such as him just doesn't seem possible to some people. That's why when people come up with the role excuse for some players having bad games it just doesn't make sense to me.

Again about my point with the double standard I know you're def. not like those people cause you make some good points and actually watch games closely and not just see the kills. Since stats obv. don't tell the whole story. But you can't deny that if Scump was going -10 a lot of the games then you won't hear the same things said for him like it is for Karma at times. It's fine for another player but Scump goes -10 and it's the end of the world cause he only gets kills. Forget t10 I believe even Crim and especially Karma has to be considered top 5 now after this event. He's def. moved up in my ranking.

Would pm people directly but heading to bed but hopefully some of you can grab one of the 3 spare codes I have

Not a fan of the font you used, also check the last mountain image, the line you place above optic gaming isn't sharp at all.

You can do more creative things than just lines, it neither goes with the font cause, the font is like written or like done with a pencil, and then there is a straight line.

Here are a couple examples of more idk how to saw it.

https://creativemarket.com/KimmyDesign/209150-Sherlock-Pro-Intro-Sale-65-Off/screenshots/#screenshot5

saw this programme the other week called "I'll get this" on BBC1 (UK TV) would be funny to do here the concept is there's people eating out at a restraunt and they each do different quizes/challenges like "get someone to text you back a word without saying the word" and when a person gets it right then they get their card back from the middle of the table meaning they dont pay for the bill idk how it would work with the guys but would be a good concept to do even just a mock version in the content house idk if it works in US but heres a link. Another challenge/video that would be entertaining would be a masterchef type thing have 2 people on each team with a set amount of ingredients try and make something from it then have a judge like BigT try them all and pick a winner.

I think it's this one or one similar to it.

took about 30 secod to find them because they look like aviation headsets so not that hard of a find. https://www.amazon.com/David-Clark-H10-30-Aviation-Headset/dp/B001MX0FC2

EDIT: Not exactly the same model that some of the Outlaws guys use but definitely done by the same company.

The OG book has some good perspective (mostly Hecz's, specifically) on how Hecz and OG balance content creation and competitive prowess in the same organization, for the mutual benefit of each team or group of teams. ~~I haven't seen this Hitch clip (could someone link it for me?) but my guess is~~ he only gave a small part of the bigger story, and understanding said bigger story would rub you more of the right way, especially if you're the kind of fan who looks forward to watching the whole OG organization grow and succeed.

edit: found Hitch's announcement

were they these?

It's just a gorillapod made by Jobi. They have a couple different models, depending on the size of your camera, how much weight you want it to hold, and what type of head you want on it. This is probably the one they use, but you could look at the graph on the page that shows the different sizes and whatnot.

They honestly work pretty well, especially if you don't have the option to run an Ethernet through your whole house

Sweet, enjoy the content so far and you're still learning so that's always nice to see. The RØde you bought really improves quality aswell as an wired microphone during interviews.

Since you were looking for the 5D Mark III in one of your videos and if the rumours are true for the 5D X (follow up on the III) check that one out when the released info comes out.

Also ever thought of using a glidecam for Nation videos? Assuming you don't have one. When mastered it's really useful for some sweet shots! ;)

Posted this in the /r/codcompetitive free talk friday but I'll copy and paste here.

Just sort of a PSA here. The official Reddit app had released on Android and iOS. So, for all you mobile users that want to give it a shot I'll link it. It also gives you 3 months of gold free when you sign in on the app. I'm not a huge fan, but some of you might prefer it. If not, at least you'll get free gold.
