You gotta think…. Clayster being able to bring Legion from zero to contenders might make him the greatest CoD pro when everything is taken into consideration other than maybe scump. (Especially if we’re talking just the old heads) The wins, the length of career, the iconic moments, and his ability to elevate the team he’s on… just might be enough to push him ahead Crim.

@kieranwatt1937 Жыл бұрын

how cn you compare scump to clay as greatest cod pro? scump only really starting winning actually events when crim/karma/formal came to save the day. clays been winning for a long time, and has won several champs and changed entire teams after getting dropped. scump hasn't done any of that, he's always been protected by Optic so he's never had to go elsewhere to do anything. crim/karma sure, but scumps not in that convo

@@kieranwatt1937 alright man im not just going to let you lie. mw3 before the dynasty optic ran that game. bo1 he won events in before joining optic for mw3. won in bo2 and ghosts with nadeshot, proofy, clay, bigt and merk. none of those are terrible players but cmon. absolutley no disrespect to clay one of the goats a worldclass person just a great guy competitor everything. however clay joined the col trio which became a dynasty then that team dropped him for karma and col continued winning. he won a bunch in aw then went winless for 4 years with 2 prestigious orgs. he didnt win an event until eu got simp. and he won in mw. he was a great player in all those teams but scump was typically t1 or 2 player of every team he was on. won with or without any of the dynasty players. if he stay loyal to optic and joined col when he had the chance hed be unanimous goat. scumps career is just as long as clayster while running smg.

@kieranwatt1937 Жыл бұрын

@@jasonarmstrong9656 He won in ghosts with x games, and do you remember what the prize pool for that event was? I'll remind you. IT WAS ZERO. The teams were hand picked to join, the next event was anahiem and coL knocked them out and went on to win it i believe. Scumps best placing before jetpack cod/crim/formal/karmsa was T3A WITH boze, nade and CLAYSTER. That's the best placing he's ever had on BOTG COD. Clay has been dropped and went and built a winning team, scumps never had to do that once,. BO1 was so long ago you do realise that? the competition/ceiling for skill was so poor back then - there's a reason he struggled the last few years to win anything when the goats the dynasty. Also MW3 they won the event playing with heartbeat censors and it was like within a week or 2 of the game being out lol...

Optic with clay had a chance to send Complexity to the losers bracket and lock in top seed at ghosts champs if they hold a 14 point Sov dom lead at the half! Call me crazy, but the scump/clay hype if they were the team to come out of winners bracket might have been enough to have them win champs that year. Throw your "CoL had 4 guys over a 1.2 KD" stats out the window, clay comes different in grudge matches, those pool play inflated K/ds were about to get exposed if optic puts CoL down in the winners finals

MJ is an extremely popular choice for GOAT of NBA, but if I got to create a team of any players, he doesn't make my team. Same goes for crim and scump, they aren't making my dream team (for different reasons, none of which are gunskill/mechanics, same with MJ and his ability to score/dominate,) as it's not about an individuals skill or accolades, it's a team game. Clay is my goat, been saying it for years, he does more with less. Gave a lot of the best players some sleepless nights, tossing and turning, "He can't keep getting away with this!"

@PlugChuckers Жыл бұрын

Also, people would be surprised to learn how many of the current GOATs of professional sports have what Phil Jackson was to MJ(well bulls and the lakers), a sports psychologist. Doubt he wins back to back to back - and back to back to back, without Phil being an eastern philosophy and other soul fulfilling ideologies lover ie: the zen master; helping them understand that you can only control what you can control, how to manage not only the ego but also the self doubt that comes with losing, and other stuff like being upset about a bad play that just happened doesn't change that play and playing the blame game during competition doesn't help anyone but the opponent, clear your mind and focus up! Especially in this christian dominated country of worshipping kings and popes and presidents and "alpha males" - wanting to make mountainous mythological deities out of people that are just human beings, that constant ego stroking can corrupt and poison your mind, look at that trump fella --- head so far up his own behind he can smell his tonsils -- and people keep on willingly feeding into the delusion which is getting worse and worse.
