I love Formal, itll suck to see him go again, but Im excited to see what optic can do with someone who is a little more motivated to win some Halo. Love the video big dawg
@@gabrielramirez8202 The question is though how long will Eco keep playing, he's the oldest in the series at 31. But I agree Stellur isn't leaving, especially when they've won 2 out of 3 Majors this season.
I mean both FormaL and Shotzzy are FPS goats. Lowkey would like to see either 1 of them expand out to another FPS title but ik that would be quite difficult
Thing is, if there will be another season, why would they keep it a secret? What is there to win by doing that? I can only think of negative consequences, like players leaving the game. If they want to create hype, they can just officially announce its going to happen and keep it at that. I think it points at them also not knowing if they will host another season at this point, or really poor management.
I got my money on him playing as a Halo pro as long as he wants to and then retiring. He just bashed cod saying he has no desire to play cod because of the miniscule skillgap, aim assist is so insane.
sad commentary on the state of professional Halo. Microsoft drops the ball with this franchise more and more. The choices I would make if I was at the helm of Halo would make it grow. Not make our best players want to retire.
He said he wants to play blops6 professionally...thing is if formal leaves optic drops to a top 6-8. There is not another formal in the league. I don't think sparty goes to Optic..doesn't seem like a good fit to me. He's just too much drama. I also don't think optic will win a tourney with out formal and with out a win in a year they'll leave halo.. we'll see
@@LS-ih5uq He was trolling cod fans with that statement. He literally said on stream that he has no desire to play cod because it lacks skillgap because of the insane aim assist. He was literally showing the modern cod gameplay and comparing it to older cods saying it doesn't make any sense how much there's aim assist.
That is true, he did say that, but now with a door open, the mind can wander, and sometimes, money truly does talk. Not to mention, finding a new passion for Formal is nothing new. You just never know.
@@lildonnie1232 Hiiiighly doubt Hecz would pull out because they're constantly bringing cash and the most popular team (= most side revenue) in the series. Where have you heard such a weird rumor?
ROFL they didn’t think they had their spot 100%. Cdl is 4 teams and they aren’t the core 4. They were a younger team with promise and a solid core. But it’s offseason they knew anything can happen. Now with formal if you watched Scump watch party, he was looking at that stage like he missed winning at that scale. Halos great but look at London or Atl stage and look at champs. Staying in halo is just playing the same 8 guys for him to win a chip. Or CDL where core 4 + he’d be on the 5th team looking in. Much bigger competitive challenge. And much bigger earnings regardless
Formal to COD ain’t the worst part. If he wants to assemble a championship squad he’s gonna need to bring Lucid with him. Formal, Ghosty, Lucid, and Legend… they’d be literal Thieves. 😂 Lucid and Legend on SMGs. 🔥
@@b3to653 Please don’t speak in conjecture. It’s a known fact Halo produces the filthiest COD players. Actually Formal said he vibes with Bound. If he could yank him and Legend those two are cracked enough to reproduce Shotzzy level SMG play.
Matt said on stream that he would never play cod while the aim assist is what it is now. Also the cod league and that whole scene isn’t looking great rn OpTic hard carried champs by hosting and supporting the event
He doesn’t play halo any more unless he has to. He clearly isn’t enjoying the gane and I don’t blame him. Playing the same maps and game modes on repeat isn’t fun for me as a casual fan, must be miserable for the pros. Not to mention the fact that the game doesn’t work consistently.
I’ve stepped away from gaming for most of the year but have recently started watching Halo and COD again. After seeing the difference in the state of both games, Halo needs to be put to rest till the next Halo game. There is almost zero interest in this game in comparison to COD. How is there any money being made in this esport? Seriously, how are salaries, prize pools, event staffing, etc even remotely justified? There is like 11k people watching a tourney livestream while cod has almost 150k on Scump’s channel. It’s pathetic what 343 has done to Halo. I’m a die hard Halo fan since H2, and have followed comp Halo religiously. Just put the nail in the coffin and move on.
I love halo so much, but it keeps kicking itself in the foot. Its the cowboys of the gaming industry. I wanted to play all day and i couldnt because of the dedicated server issue.
Are both of you that delusional to think HCS is thriving now? The stands are empty at events look in the background. It’s sad. Halo pulls barely any viewers on twitch. The player base is dwindling.
@@CodyEmmans You're the delusional one for saying we were talking about "thriving". Side note, London also sold out, twice. People like to watch comp Halo, but they should invest in proper marketing. If people aren't following the official channels it's very likely they've never even heard of HCS. Lots of potential for growth because comp Halo is extremely entertaining and the level of competition is nuts.
@@CodyEmmansthe last world tourney had over 100k viewers people clearly love watching comp halo, its just not advertised as much as the current juggernauts
Optic is in a tough spot if Formal leaves. The only real asset they'd have is Lucid. Trippy hasn't been playing the best and doesn't have a lot of brand power. Best case I'd say try to poach the SSG roster minus Legend so Lucid, Stellur, Bound, Eco. I'm sure they'd leave SSG for Optic because of the brand. Question is whether Optic wants to spend the money for the last season of a dying game. More likely i'd say keep Lucid, Trippy, and go after some up and coming players... Last Shot and Cherished, Mental and Cykul... Precision is also nasty and on the come up. Then rebuild in the offseason.
@@CDX7 Lucid, Trippy, Stellur, Lqgend. That'd be the sickest possible roster tbh. Lucid and Trippy are basically the exact same as Stellur and Eco, those duos have incredible chemistry. But the fact is, Eco can't play forever either, he's 31 now.
@@Valkyrae123 Yeah he's oldest in the series but definitely looks younger. Then again 31 is still very young. Maybe not young in esports but generally speaking.
Halo is absolute dog shit game, buggy, frustrating, there’s a problem with the game every week it seems, content took forever, the population has been dying for such a long time. I wouldn’t blame him
He’s a goat of both esports so I wouldn’t mind what he decided to do.
Both?
He's definitely not the goat of both lmao
@@Spooshball I said he’s a goat not the goat
I love Formal, itll suck to see him go again, but Im excited to see what optic can do with someone who is a little more motivated to win some Halo. Love the video big dawg
Lol "now let's talk about why he would want to leave" DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT LOL bruh we down bad
Formal has said on stream that he doesn't believe that there will even be another season, so It'd say its a safe bet that he plans to leave
And the HCS lead recently pretty much confirmed on HCS Pro Talk that there will be S4. Have to wait and see I guess.
@@JimmyRingzthey also confirmed there would be split screen
@@samuelh.8896 Solid point, I hear you lol. We'll see, fingers crossed at least.
He’s definitely leaving but wow he was glazing Formal hard
Tashi said there'd be another year, right? Maybe Optic picks up Stellur next year like they originally wanted.
i doubt stellur would leave him and eco are duos he wouldnt leave him
@@gabrielramirez8202 The question is though how long will Eco keep playing, he's the oldest in the series at 31. But I agree Stellur isn't leaving, especially when they've won 2 out of 3 Majors this season.
@@gabrielramirez8202OpTic should drop deadzone and pickup eco & stellur
I mean both FormaL and Shotzzy are FPS goats. Lowkey would like to see either 1 of them expand out to another FPS title but ik that would be quite difficult
That's crazy
I think Optic should get Stellur but of course I doubt he’d leave Eco so maybe Optic could get Lastshot. Lastshot is insane.
OpTic should be Lucid Trippy Eco StelluR
@@b3to653 that would be good too
With the state of Halo it's sadly a no brainer which decision would be best for his career
It will be sad to see him leave - what are your thoughts on who replaces him on Optic?
Damn😥

Let’s be honest, the choices you would make would probably make the situation worse
I would be sad to see it. But it is what it is.
I enjoyed watching the CoD champs, but as a Halo fan I was super jealous
Especially when you realize that cod Champs is run by mlg. That should be us. Thanks bungie for destroying the competitive scene with reach
Id like to see formal compete in apex, we need more halo players in the apex scene
Optic would just try to pick up last shot or someone on the rise
Formal to CoD, Spartan to Optic 😊
YES
Eh
no

optic sucks anyways... goodluck formal
Formal has been VERYA inconsistent on halo recently, so i personally think this would be the best choice for him
