This was a masterpiece. So glad it was longer

"is that that kid that yells at everybody?" Excellent description of Scrappy lol

Elite episode. Zinni gotta be on Optic content team once he is done playing

"I'll teach you how to trade stocks, that's fuckin crazy". Man like Big T knows the true path to dopamine addiction

Hitch is the best mediator for this because he was all of us back then. Just a fan of them watching them stream everyday and rooting for the team at every tourney. Loved the questions he brought on

Zin: I’m worried about losing the dopamine. BigT: I’ll teach you how to trade stocks

I really liked Zin’s point about drawing the line between keeping talent and entertainment in the league. These new gen pros are like completely disconnected from fans and the community, most new pros don’t stream or talk to anyone and it sucks. In the old days, everyone knew eachother and pros played 10 hours of 8’s every night and all of them streamed and really helped create the community we have. Now, with franchising, teams have to decide what’s gonna make the most money for them. It’s weird how we worked so hard for the scene to get bigger but now kinda wish it was the way it used to be.

This group might just have the best chemistry I have ever seen in an Optic video.. the production is S tier also.

Been an Optic Fan sense before 6050, This video truly made my day. Going down memory lane like that at the end was something else. Wonderful video and even better people. We 100% need to do a video with as many pros from the MW2 and BO1 days that you can find and get them all in a room with nothing but chairs mics and cameras. PLEASE blow this up boys i want that to happen so bad

"People we're calling you the next Nadeshot?" - Scump 😂😂😂

I'm a 38 year old optic fan from wayyyy back. You dudes are inspiring. And to see the level of overall talent (Fwiz, Hecz, Hastro, Seth, Jack) incredible. Smart and ambitious

Matt’s face when Zin called Scumper undroppable 😂

The quality was fucking gorgeous, loved the editing, and the nostalgia was crazy. This is the best series you guys have produced ever! I love this so much

“You’re missing the forest for the trees” Big T spitting heat per usual

Your guys production and insight into the industry is 5 years ahead of anyone else trying to do this y’all got something special keep at it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love hearing old stories like this. I think I smiled an hour straight.

When Zinni retires, Optic NEEDS to get him as a content creator

"I waddle up to him, Im huge" LMAO

Thanks Zinni for making content with the optic boys. Always making me laugh

Matty been killing on the production man. So glad he's apart of the org and making his imprint on the content.

one of my favorite videos ever from optic. perfect group, balance of quality, content, and jokes. genuinely can’t wait to see more of this stuff 💚

I love that it’s longer this time! Such a good watch and listen 🔥 love saying Zinni with the optic boys, can’t wait to see him join in the future

3:16 i f'n LOVE big t bro... homie came out of nowhere and just inspired me w his presence and knowledge

Best one yet loved the banter. Methods was a awesome addition and always good when big t and scump are there. I started watching black ops 2 so a lot of the stuff the talked about hit home and brought back the feels. Love it

This was great this group was great loved the chemistry between all of them

I sincerely enjoyed this convo. Had a smile the whole episode. Hope to see Zin on OpTic as a content creator.

The production value on this is exceptional. Well done!

Fantastic piece of content this was. From the conversations to the production. All on point.

Amazing content. Episode flowed so well! Love seeing boze, and big t. Keep it coming

Favorite video series I've seen from OpTic recently. This episode had me feeling all the emotions. I was debating life. Recalling memories. Sad about nostalgia. Thinking about the future of my personal life. I'm 27 years old now, have a job, same HS friends, still playing Call of Duty and Halo, enjoy golfing, working out, I'm married, and so on. Look back and be happy we had our past, but also Gotta be in the moment and enjoy what we have right now. My Gaming friends rarely get on as much anymore, but I'm happy with the times I've had. Looking forward to all the future Memories I'll make as well. Like Nard Dog Andy said in the show The Office, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ol days, before you've left them."

This was amazing, well done fellas. We need more Zinni x Seth content in the off-season

Really hoping there’s more than 1 episode of this, great to see the boys I grew up watching sitting n chatting about all those times

When they zoomed in on formal when methodz said scump can’t be dropped 😂😂😂

zin was amazing this podcast, i usually don't watch him often but he's very insightful.

more of this please im begging. i love the optic podcast, but holy this takes the content game to a whole new level.

One of the best pieces of content right now, i honestly felt like I was there just listening to these dudes talk whatever. ✌

Great content, we need more fo this! Nice to hear OG's names too. I used to hang in Spacely, Boze and Phizz streams for hours in Ghost

The amount of nostalgia this video made me feel…one of the best pieces of content ever.

I enjoyed every aspect of this video. The conversations and stories shared through different perspectives and the production quality was just awesome. Great job guys, I admire your work and only wish to match it someday

Great as always! I am almost 40 so been watching pro halo and cod since they started streaming events. So its great to see all of you guys together and still killing it

So dope. Thank you, Davis. More of this please.

I feel like Methodz is always going to have a spot on OpTic when the time comes again. Filled the seat once in 2018, but I'm sure that seat is waiting for him to come back.

Dude love the way its produced, love how long it is , the old storied and uncensored opinios kinda , gives me the vibes of " the shop LeBron "

Methodz explaining how those were the best times of his life hit different. I remember rushing home from school turning on my system and waiting 30 seconds tops to get that invite to a party, getting that GB and grinding until my mom screamed at me to go to bed. Spend all day at school thinking about that 1v3 I choked waiting for school to end and do it all over again. Life was good man, we were having so much fun and didn't even know it.

This type of content is massive for the eSports scene.

Love these episodes man. By far the best show on this channel. Zinni is a great guest!

This is heat and we need more of it

This is the OpTic Zin City collab we were all waiting for. Fantastic video!

Shoutout to production, the shotgun mics sound great here. A few are dialed a little closer than others, but not having almost any recording apparatus visible (lapel or stand) makes a big difference in quality. Keep up the great work!

I love this content. Despite how long we've been watching these guys and how closely we've followed them, it always seems like there's a little more they can show by pulling back the curtain and giving these little insights. Methodz is a great storyteller and I would love to keep seeing him in more episodes of this series.

This was genuinely brilliant!

This is legitimately some of my favorite OpTic content ever

these are so dope! big fan of the camera b-roll cuts and the round circle formats.

love these round table videos, so many good stories, even rehearing old ones is great

Absolutely love these videos. Shout out to the team, this format is soooo good!

This episode was pure comedy bro 😂😂 just vibes and talking about good classic times

The editing that goes into this is crazy. Having to mesh all the different camera angles together when certain guys are talking is elite content.

Hitch and the content team, great job! Loved the video. Great conversations about the past, present, and future.

Hell yes, we love seeing Zinni!! Keep the length, love this format!

All I gotta say is WOW beautifully produced. Loved every minute of it yall really gotta special one

This is a GREAT Commentary for All Content Creators. I didn't know that other people went through the BS of Getting Trash Talked when you make it to the top.

SOLID SOLID Podcast, Real Pro Cod Talk Unfiltered, Need more of these, in this Style, Great Episode guys. Classic OpTic Feel.

Hearing the talks about gbs and shit brought back so many memories thanks bois🙏🏼

I’m only 15 minutes in and you guys were having one of the most honest and heartfelt conversation about the game, league, and what’s changed about being successful today.

INNER FKN CIRCLE!!! This was what I needed, OpTic knows man. Its inevitable!- Love

This type of podcast is better quality and a better watch than the other form of the podcast, keep this up!

Methodz is a great story teller

Avid optic fan and watch all pieces of content and love em all, but these round tables circles whatever you guys do is the absolute best piece of content you produce

this is the best video y'all have released in a minute... loved the portion about GB talk. really made me feel that nostalgic feeling of grinding GB's all day and hiding the fact that you were a nerd 😂

Literally told myself yesterday we need another round table and BOOM! Love this and once again fireeee

"Your missing the forest for the trees" - Go on with your philosophical ass BIG T 💯💯💯

This was my favorite episode thus far. Need a part two. And more Zinni.

Always good seeing BigT

The production quality is mouthwatering. Shoutout mattcraig and roger for sure

This entire thing was incredible. Killing it

When they talk about the past man just reminds that this is the only thing that I kept with with since I was 17 was Optic. 11 years later and I'm still here, married, kids and all. Living life and telling my kids were a Optic fam.

Yall brought back soooo many memories omg thanks for this one!

man the memories this video brought, made me feel like a kid watching the golden days.

I’ve been waiting for one of these

Great podcast, love the nostalgia from when I first started getting into gaming.

The production quality adds so so much to the value of this kind of content. Kudos.

“You’re missing the forest for the trees” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

More methodz ! Great conversation, and awesome input !

One of my favourite content pieces ever this, keep them coming please

LOVED the way Seth laughed when Zin said the “next Nadeshot” line. I kept replaying that part and cracking up hard! I don’t know why that got me. It’s not a knock on Zin, love that guy, it’s just the way it played out!! Hahahaha

The production and editing on the vids this whole year has been fuckin incredible

0:23 just wanna say that focus on Big T then on Hitch was muah chefs kiss.

Need more of this and bring Zin in more he just fits with everything so well

This podcast was amazing absolutely love when y’all talk about the old days I’ve been keeping up with comp cod since mw2 this just brings back mad memories major nostalgia. Jkap and proofy in mw2 👌

37:22 and aches obsession with optic and being in the shadow begins

Zin needed that lesson no cap helped him grow
