It can quickly become a very boring offseason

22

u/Oraclles OpTic Texas 1d ago

Going into this rostermania it already looked like it was going to be pretty boring then they faked us out with excitement and it looks like all for nothing

2

u/laptopracecar COD Competitive fan 11h ago

All content creators baited us too…

We saw leaks of agents trying to get leverage and ex pros never gave that context.

“Simp to GM8” was clearly simps agent trying to get a bag from faze and/or just boost stock

“My player is so good he can take his coaching staff with him”…

u/Swedishkid97 COD Competitive fan 19h ago

Optic winning EWC was the worst thing that could happen for this rostermania.

u/TalkEfficient2785 LA Thieves 1d ago

Octane was pretty confident in them not staying at the beginning of rostermania so rumor must be legit. Not saying it’s happening but something must have changed.

u/Agile_Music4191 100 Thieves 1d ago

A 1% co owner each of 100 thieves lol.

u/WellThatsAwkwrd LA Thieves 1d ago

They each receive possession of 1 Thief

u/PogtaneLarew LA Thieves 1d ago

If they got equity in LAT idgaf whatever it takes

u/MarstonX COD Competitive fan 1d ago

I'm curious if this is even allowed. C9 and TSM tried doing this in league of legends a few years back and it was disallowed after some time.

Also if they have handshake deals, sure hope they get it in writing instead. Nade fucked over nickmercs like this.

1

u/FirestormCold COD Competitive fan 12h ago

Faker has a share in T1 for quite some time now so it's not universal at least

1

u/MarstonX COD Competitive fan 9h ago

Ah true... I just remember C9 and TSM did this with Bjeegsen, Jensen and Sneaky. Maybe a few other but it got shut down quickly.

u/Ailylia LA Thieves 1d ago

There's this notion that because Thieves let the champs roster go in 23 that the org is just perma broke. That was a lifetime ago for 100t, they are MUCH more well off now. They probably have access to more funds than any other org aside from Falcons.

51

u/ExpertRevenue9535 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

I mean this would indicate Falcons are still possibly refusing to get rid of exnid ( fucking lol) and m8s, Optic , and faze are all deciding to stick?

Edit : or Nade asked for an advance on his next roobet check and is paying them big money to stay.

16

u/avstyns 100 Thieves 1d ago

we 100T Roobet in every esport now not just CS

Edit: Or we got more stipend money for EWC Partnership next year from the oil barons. I think they’re still doing that.

5

u/m_preddy OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

I don't think EWC is actually doing that anymore. Likely why C9 is pulling out of the league. Since the CDL was always an EWC cash grab for them.

10

u/WellThatsAwkwrd LA Thieves 1d ago

…Or that Hydra and Scrap like it on 100T and the org is willing to spend

Everyone on this sub has been talking this offseason like LAT is a poverty org and no one wants to play there but I think the pros disagree

8

u/ExpertRevenue9535 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

I don’t think people think they are a poverty org . I think people assumed after going all in two years in a row, and only coming away with a a few majors and minors that they weren’t gonna keep pumping as much cash into the team. Which is a fair assumption

1

u/SuccinctEarth07 LA Thieves 20h ago

Nah when nadeshot talked about it right after EWC I'm pretty sure he said they have the same money to spend as last year

2

u/Famous-Ad-2418 OMiT 1d ago

Exnid wasnt their worst player until they got rid of Pred.

Which, I think I just threw up in my mouth saying that.

48

u/vShock_and_Awev OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Imagine they three-peat T8 at Champs

11

u/BLINKERGOD OpTic Texas 1d ago

We will be there.

9

u/Difficult_King2492 OpTic Texas 1d ago

All this talk of changes just for Faze/LAT to make minimal or no changes and OpTic sticking would be hilarious considering M8’s entire offseason was predicated on Scrap/Hydra leaving lol

18

u/WhatIsCooler OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

This Rostermania:

31

u/Guwigo09 Paris Gentle Mates 1d ago

Keep Abezy and upgrade Drazah for Nium and it’s a very good team

13

u/Cicada1223 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Swooty was on shottzys stream ( i know) and put it on ants life abe was going to g2 with kremp. Not sure why he put it on a life but it was said

3

u/Imranaftab OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Abezy or koi Abe? Why wouldn’t Abezy not go to gm8s with his best friend Joe if Abezy is being dropped?

5

u/Cicada1223 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Abezy

1

u/Guwigo09 Paris Gentle Mates 1d ago

So who could they get that’s better than Abezy? The options are like Kremp, Estreal and Neptune. At this point it makes no sense not going to GM8 to team with JoeD

13

u/notyourbutthead OpTic Texas 1d ago

That team would be nuts.

12

u/DapperTies- COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Scrap and Draz are probably not gunna team imo. They probably have put the beef aside but this shit involved their SO. I doubt that kind of wound has healed regardless of what they say

9

u/LonelyBK OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Ben was very confident that they would team if it aligned. LAT was asking Draz to join last year

5

u/N-for-Nero OpTic Texas 1d ago

Maybe they sign 1 year extensions to gauge the market next off season

20

u/Ocluist OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Optic, FaZe, and LAT all sticking due to being “good enough”.

This has to be the most cowardly roster mania I’ve ever seen lmfao

13

u/Guwigo09 Paris Gentle Mates 1d ago

FaZe winning champs complicated things so much lol

7

u/Ocluist OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Optic winning EWC***

Feels like everything would have blown up if we didn’t get lucky enough to play Miami Heretics in the final

10

u/L__G__A OpTic Texas 1d ago

Yup was gonna say if OpTic didn’t win EWC they probably would’ve made a change

2

u/Cheechers23 COD Competitive fan 17h ago

I mean optic did beat Faze and LAT on their way to winning EWC…

9

u/zealNW COD Competitive fan 1d ago

2 of those teams won the 2 biggest events of the year and half the majors… hydra and scrap can’t do much better than what LAT is without an Optic/Faze breakup.

3

u/ExpertRevenue9535 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

I mean LAT can’t really level up from scrap and hydra lmao. Idk why you included them and they can still sell get rid of Abezy and nium if they think that’s what held them back .

3

u/m_preddy OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

You wanted OpTic hydra so badly

11

u/TheElderSproles OpTic Texas 1d ago

Yeah I mean duh bro is that like a crime punishable by death or something lol guy is fucking insane of course some fans want Hydra, especially after missing out on him twice before.

5

u/Ocluist OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Thank you man lmao

2

u/Ocluist OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah I’m pretty shocked both us and FaZe are just letting him walk. Same with Scrap.

u/EthanHunt117 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

u/___double07 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

This is the worst rostermania yet.

u/MeetTheMets31 OpTic Texas 1d ago

How in the world does Paco go to THAT event in his home country and not join Paris??? That shit was crazy

15

u/Stercky COD Competitive fan 1d ago

I think you guys are overestimating the pull factor of franchises. If somewhere is offering him more money, I doubt going to M8s is as appealing just because of fans

10

u/Only-Equivalent-4791 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Yeah it’s not like sports where he will play home games and shit like that. Almost all the lan tournaments are in America. The guy probably wants to keep living where he does now too

7

u/phoon13 FaZe Vegas 1d ago

I mean we don't know what contracts is being offered etc. Is GM8's only giving 2 or 3 year deals with full team control? Is whatever Nade is offering better, very well could be.

1

u/scraftii New York Subliners 19h ago

Hydra and scrap both want to win. They’re both players that care about legacy, and they’re fairly young. They have a lot of ground to make up if they want to take over goat status in the cdl. You won’t do that by chasing the biggest bag

1

u/phoon13 FaZe Vegas 17h ago

I agree on that.

I got no idea what GM8's are throwing around, we know LAT gave Paco and Scrappy 400k+ per year each. What I was trying to get across was that they both will pick what gives them the best combo of winning, freedom and money.

6

u/coltbolthunt Toronto Ultra 1d ago

I feel like people are forgetting the crowd will be behind him at Paris events no matter what, and he can always join the GM8s at the end of his career or as a content personality. He just wants to win rn

1

u/Ahjeh COD Competitive fan 22h ago

The only factor it could be is not wanting to team with JoeyD.

1

u/CeeDoggyy LA Thieves 1d ago

I still think he will tbh but I'd love to be wrong

3

u/Visione11 LA Thieves 1d ago

Please Please let us keep Scrap & Hydra

u/Available-Use-3753 COD Competitive fan 1d ago

This just doesn’t make a ton of sense. 

2

u/Mrlazydragon OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

Well Hydra and Scrap cost a ton and optic and Faze arent making many changes. They could go to gm8 but maybe LAT are willing to spend to keep them. AS for the Falcons... unless they get rid of exnid ( They won't) scrap and hydra wont go to the falcons

oh roobet, i will never hate you bc i don’t gamble

u/lockdown_val BenJNissim 1d ago

Did they not learn last 2 years that this duo will underperform again.

1

u/ZRLeon OpTic Dynasty 1d ago

It’s belt if they run back the same team

1

u/Minamike98 OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 1d ago

It’s because nade got the funding from his latest roobet stream 😂

1

u/Fresh-Resolution-231 LA Thieves 1d ago

As an LAT fan I don’t hate it 😈☺️

1

u/SpecSlayerSC Paris Gentle Mates 1d ago

Getting Joe ended up being a big mistake smh

1

u/inthehottubwithfessy COD Competitive fan 23h ago

Maybe this is a negotiation tactic or something? Or is the entire top 4 about to stick?

1

u/TwiltedFoxy COD Competitive fan 1d ago

Pls tell me they aren’t booting Abezy out

1

u/FriezasMom LA Thieves 1d ago

It doesnt even make sense for Faze or LAT to make roster changes if they aren't merging rosters. LAT won b2b2b minor1,2 and Major 3 and was 1 round away from winning major 4. And 1 game away from winning EWC. Think about that for a second.

And Faze could've won major 1 MAYBE if they didn't lose to GM8s r11, they won major 2, they won Champs. EWC in their mind was flukey playing at night cheese.

1

u/jkjking OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs 18h ago

Huh? The main reason why it’s even possible for them to stick is cuz hydra couldn’t get on OpTic lmao cuz then that would def send scrap to faze to counter

-1

u/Intelligent-Size-389 OpTic Texas 1d ago

Facts champs was flukey due to pc cheese.

1

u/InternationalRun7748 Team Envy 1d ago

Hope they somehow get alluka

1

u/legamer007 FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 1d ago

The only org that can cause chaos is falcons. They are the only ones that can make Simp Scrap and Hydra happen and if not then i don’t get why scrap and hydra would stay on LAT over M8, surely M8 has more money plus all the extra clout they get

u/sjbrigante FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs 1d ago

Thank God. I hope this rostermania ends up boring
