I wish HCS would stop taking stupid long breaks. Short one after an event is fine but after 2 weeks it’s time to get back on it

I wish the HCS season was much more compact. Would keep more hype and viewership.

Would've loved to do some more editing on this one but was in a bit of a hurry, had to fly in to California for work! So that's why some parts may seem a little "rushed" or "incomplete" - glad to be back!! 😁Pls don't grill me too hard for my Optic comments

Welcome back!

I really wanna see a decent placing from SSG. When they're playing well they're really good and with their new young guns they're a lot of fun to watch, but they just keep dropping the ball when it matters most (sometimes literally). I want to see them commit to this roster instead of making yet another change because I think they have the potential to be really good. Optic are probably my favorites to win too but I think a lot of these teams could surprise us.

I'm very excited to see Faze's performance in this tournament.

Great video! Your pace, roster comments, story line notes, all of it was perfect. Been supporting SSG since the beginning and it’s been a struggle lol

I'll definitely be watching out for G1

I can get behind your predictions, all of them. 👊

I'm stoked to see the roster shakeups. It'll bring some freshness to the game even if we don't have mode/map freshness.

Ey, like always, Good video bro

Ohhhh my god, just watching My I've been friends with Tylenul and Barcode both since around 2013-14 since OG H3 and I CAN'T PICK A FAVORITE TO WIN. I know it happened already but I'm late watching and I think barcode... But last time I played with Ty he definitely wasn't a, "pro" BUT NOT LOOK WHO'S ON TOP and Barcode... They're both genuinely real good and quality people and super funny. You know I could go Tylenol back in the day but I definitely couldn't barcode, and they've been playing just as long so I'm just only think about what happened to me where I'm a little bit Rusty and washed up nowadays, still a wreck anybody to challenge me but I'm definitely not the god king I used to be. Kind of like going from 30 and 0 to nowadays to maybe like 15 and 2...which is less than half of that of my old skill. Hahaha. he's I got to got with barcode... They both DESERVE that money though. You can tell me that they haven't been dedicated for the past 10 years. The pro leagues are kind of weird getting into the mix, I mean even me I was never considered for the pro circuit, even though Hyena was my dubs partner and I think I maybe had three people on my friends list that weren't professionals. But I didn't really attend tournaments so I wasn't considered. But this means after all these years they've proven their skill and what their worth, they need to be proud no matter what place they come in because man that come along long way, that's like kuhlect and supressed and sab... No offense but you haven't played as much Halo as barcode and Tylenol especially on the high level nonstop. anyways take care I have no hopes for who wins I just hope it's either space station or G2 that wins the whole damn thing

I think Optics communication is the reason they have not been as good on LAN. It's much easier to communicate and coordinate when everyone is sitting next to eachother screenwatching. This in turn means that one of their biggest strenghts gets nullified in a way. Interested to hear what you think!

Really interested to see how flying out to Texas is gonna help a lot of these teams. Would be sick to get a list of teams who are actually in Dallas. Hot take, I think Faze are gonna take it, Optic 2nd, Sen 3rd, C9 4th

shoutout to babiesthealer31 for qualifying for the super!

I occasionally played with barcode a bunch on OG H3 and i consider me and my boys played h3 at a professional level for over 10 years all of us never really lose. Infinite we suck but we even still train / play odh3 to this day because it was difficulty and it just makes switching over to MCC like cutting through butter. But when we would play with barcode we truly all felt not helpless, I got him good a few times but his sniper literally looks like it aim bot, and no he is absolutely one legit Savage. I'm proud of him I didn't realize he was this big when we played it together, I thought he was fat rat until he told me who he was and now seeing what he's become I am not surprised I truly believe his slain power... I don't know I really think he's way better than the actual renegade if I'm going to be honest I mean I know infinite's different but just the awareness ability in precision is just really great. I'm not even Australia but I'm just going to say right now if Laura could took on the championship I wouldn't be surprised. You guys got to get FFA going and I think that you will see Australia get a champion. He was that good then I'm telling you he's that good probably now

what do you do for work?

i hope optic win next lan

FaZe in 4th? Lmao keep that same energy ill be back to tell u otherwise after the results

It’s optic they’re gonna win cause it’s online 😂 lucid’s biggest accomplishment that optic fans will forever hold on to is that 1v1 against renegade

Man idk, I think faze might be gross. Idk if you’ve seen them play or something maybe that’s why you’re questioning them, but there’s no way that team isn’t insane. It was clear that renegade was a crucial piece to C9, and I think if he can bring that same play to faze, they will be insane.

If my boys don't pull through ima stop watching hcs lmao

Kind of jarring to see 50% of the Faze team being changed... I hope it pays off.

If Optic Wins 🏆 it would be Normal but if they lose it would just prove that no matter how Great Lucid is. He is overrated... Tommy is a good dude but he speaks very loudly for a person who has yet to win a Lan Event

Shame you couldn't o a full bracket prediction as you would have realised that the top 4 you predicted are highly unlikely with how the bracket shapes out. Sen plays the winner of the C9/Faze pool play game and the loser of that game plays the loser of 2nd pool A (Faze or C9) v optic so one of them will place top 6.
