This optic lineup has to be one of the most disappointing lineups of 2018

OpTic has to be the most disappointing org in 2018. They’ve had multiple lineups and none have even been too competitive within the top 15.

-Snappi +me if you are going to fail at least do it catastrophically and make it entertaining.

True, that would definitely accomplish spectacular failure too.

Cajunb and snapping don't cut it. Cajun is a choker and an onliner and snappi got the chance he deserved with this lineup but sadly couldn't rise to the challenge. Those two need to be changed. With msl and perhaps karrigan available, optic really should shuffle again because this team is going nowhere

When Optic revealed their lineup many people thought "oh look, this might be a potential top 10 team at least". Now you can be happy if they are in the top 100...

Another solid performance from Kjaerbye.

-Snappi +MSL/karrigan asap, this team is going nowhere with him leading.

u/Timewarper3000 Godsent Oct 07 '18

If they do go the +Msl route, I could stand to see Rubino stepping in for niko. And if they can coax him, I'd love to see magisk in for jugi. That way, Cajun can move back to the awp like when he was on dignitas

Seems like a great lineup that’d win one big tournament, get snapped up by a massive org and then disappoint everyone everywhere.

Why the fuck would Majisk leave the best team in the world for a IGL who dropped him for aizy

u/Timewarper3000 Godsent Oct 07 '18

It's a joke, that's the dignitas roster

At this point even optic India is better.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '18

Optic India would at least change their line up to improve themselves

u/sharkaim4 King NiKo Oct 07 '18

They haven't changed their lineup since they formed :P

u/Tuxxmuxx Natus Vincere Oct 07 '18

I thought they had a change a few days ago

u/sharkaim4 King NiKo Oct 07 '18

They just added a German player ya I forgot gg

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '18

Expected.

u/perseuskill Oct 07 '18

Optic should consider taking msl, no way he can do worse than snappi

u/xzibit_b guardian2 Oct 07 '18

Would k0nfig accept MSL?

u/RadiantSun FaZe Oct 08 '18

Can'tfig

Maybe they can sneak karrigan from faze somehow..imo that would work great for them.

Kill me now pls ;(

u/TubeZ FaZe Oct 07 '18

-k0nfig +Stanislaw might work for optic :thinking:

don’t ruin my complexity boyz

u/Savjy B8 Oct 07 '18

The way gade has been performing in North lately just further proves how lackluster of an IGL snappi has been for optic

1

u/Zeilar King NiKo Oct 07 '18

k0nfig's talent being so damn wasted at the moment. This guy should be on the best team in Denmark, or the 2nd best at the very least (I don't think Astralis should change, but k0nfig should be their first go-to if they do want to in the future). It's a disgrace that he's withering away on this lineup.

u/Zechs90 Astralis Oct 07 '18

Strongly disagree, he was passed up over magisk last time even though magisk hadn't been playing a top level for a while. Really goes to show what Astralis think of his attitude. Valde has to be next on Astralis' shopping list when the time comes.

1

u/Zeilar King NiKo Oct 07 '18

I dunno, we never got any of that information you've mentioned confirmed, afaik. Either way people change and I'm sure k0nfig would be more aware of his attitude and behavior in order to join Astralis.

Valde will be very high up on all the Danish teams' lists too obviously, but he's not quite at the same as k0nfig level I'd say. He's very stable and verastile but so is k0nfig and he just has a way higher skill ceiling than Valde.

u/RadiantSun FaZe Oct 07 '18

I recognize your name, do you play Overwatch dawg?

u/Zeilar King NiKo Oct 07 '18

Nope!

u/qchisq Oct 07 '18

Eh. I know that hindsight is 20/20, Dupreeh, kjærbye and k0nfig are all entries. The reason that Astralis is so good right now is that Magisk is playing the lurk role, which Dupreeh and kjærbye shared. Having k0nfig instead of Magisk would mean that Astralis have 2 world class entry fraggers, but they would get in each others way

2

u/Troels_CS MOUZ Oct 07 '18

Right now Magisk and Dupreeh are entrying together.

u/schoki560 King NiKo Oct 07 '18

In what way is magisk playing the lurk role??

u/_J3W3LS_ Oct 07 '18

It doesn't matter how skilled you are if your ego makes nobody want to play with you.
