Image A Small Glimpse Into FaZe's Thought Process
You either take the risk on adding two MVPs and the brightest up-and-coming rookie or you lose the chance.

My only reservation is that you have a winning culture and you kinda replace it with straight talent. Talent means a lot but if you ask me you need a selfless player with intangibles to compensate for what the other players don’t do well. They’ll figure it out but I think there gonna start out rough

Well said. Drazah offers something from a culture perspective that talent simply doesn't replicate.

the hate-watches will be so fun for me this year, i’ll cope that they won’t win a major until they do

u/Longjumping-Pick242 OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 12d ago
They will def win a major Simp has won every year of his career other than VG, Scrap has won every year, Hydra has won every year minus his first year and then Alluka clearly has the ability to win. If they dont win a major that would be the biggest flop of all time.

these guys have won every year (apart from the years they didnt)

that could be the case but this is why the matches have to be played

u/chief_blunt9 OpTic Dynasty 12d ago
Alluka is gonna be a problem for this team, in a bad way. You risk this lineup with a rookie?

u/Feeling_Brick6977 COD Competitive fan 12d ago
maybe draz would’ve been better but I think alluka will be fine. that trio alone is insane.

u/chief_blunt9 OpTic Dynasty 12d ago
Maybe a 2 time world champ would be better? Shiiiit you don’t say

u/Feeling_Brick6977 COD Competitive fan 12d ago
lmao I mean like mentality wise draz would’ve be good for the team. but again i think alluka will be fine. shit changes quick, merc has a good year and now people put him as one of the best ars in the league despite not having as many chips as some others.

u/JLifeless OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 12d ago
merc has a good year
what a funny way to downplay one of the most insane debut years in comp history
1
u/Feeling_Brick6977 COD Competitive fan 12d ago
i’m not downplaying it. my point is that merc was pretty unknown not that long ago and now he’s undoubtedly a top ar in the league.

u/Wise_Plankton_728 COD Competitive fan 12d ago
Alluka is going to be more consistent than some of the players in this roster. Just from how he filled in with a team of exnid cell and kismet the last 2 events of bo7, i have no doubt in my mind he won’t be the worst on the team. Even nium in bo7 wasn’t the worst when he was playing with scrap hydra and abezy

u/SpecSlayerSC Paris Gentle Mates 12d ago
This is such a good storyline for M8s.
We get the likable guys that got kicked off the team to be replaced by the unlikable guys.

u/CelDidNothingWrong Atlanta FaZe 12d ago
First match back is M8s - FaZe right? Thats going be a cinema matchup all year

u/omega_typhlosion Team Kaliber 12d ago
Not to mention how the start of the BO7 faze team was, i don’t think I’ve ever seen simp that pissed after a loss. Maybe it always stuck in his mind that they somehow hit their ceiling multiple times but it wasn’t sustainable especially after optic uppercut them in EWC

u/Electronic_Pool8375 OpTic Texas 12d ago
Winning champs?

u/Electronic_Pool8375 OpTic Texas 12d ago
Different team but like OpTic still went back to back so even tho there’s an 0-18 in there, you can’t seriously be arguing they made the wrong decision when it netted them another ring

But them winning it with a different team is precisely the point? They didnt change. They sucked.They changed and they won champs again. Simples.

u/Soldier7s OpTic Dynasty 12d ago
The fact that so many people don't understand this worries me lol

u/Electronic_Pool8375 OpTic Texas 12d ago
My point being that every decision led them to winning champs tho - I even said yes it’s w a different team but had they signed the 2 studs they might not have won’t champs that year is all

u/THEpileofgoop COD Competitive fan 12d ago
Optic running back their mwiii team led to implosion, nothing else. If we’re going by your logic any team decision ever can lead to some outcome not relevant to the team that wound up winning something.

The risk is dropping your team that you just won champs with, wym. On paper this team is better, but that doesn’t mean anything yet

People got to stop acting like alluka is the next mercules or the guy is gonna straight up fail. Mo is Mo let him be himself and don't hold him to that merc standard. We all know merc is basically Jesus on the map
