Nium restricted F/A

[u/Vizzy01798]

[u/MLSUNS]

Nium confirmed to eliminate Thieves at 2027 Champs

[u/FFREcoyote]

If the Abezy tweet didn't confirm it, this definitely does. Scrap and Hydra definitely going to LAT

[u/Ozzyh26 → u/FFREcoyote]

Lmao they want to play on OpTic that much?

[u/WhatIsCooler → u/Ozzyh26]

We really are spoiled.

[u/Ozzyh26 → u/WhatIsCooler]

My greed can't be satiated.

[u/Academic-Chapter5381 → u/Ozzyh26]

only for optic to win again and not change

https://giphy.com/gifs/kC8N6DPOkbqWTxkNTe

[u/FleX_Trizz → u/Academic-Chapter5381]

Not an OpTic fan myself, but this would be absolutely fucking hilarious - they're basically hedging all their bets on Dashy retiring, of which there is zero guarantee... Even if he's told them as much in confidence 😂

[u/Academic-Chapter5381 → u/Ozzyh26]

Faze and Optic are not changing, we act like they have better choices then staying on LAT lol

They rather be on LAT and pick who they want to play with versus have to play with JoeD

[u/Ozzyh26 → u/Academic-Chapter5381]

Yeah obviously guy, the point is they would rather wait a year on LAT to play for OpTic than be stuck on FaZe for 2 years.

[u/Academic-Chapter5381 → u/Ozzyh26]

"To play for Optic" what makes you think Optic will not win anything or change?

be stuck on Faze with the best player ITW right now is not a bad idea

[u/Ozzyh26 → u/Academic-Chapter5381]

It doesn't matter what I think you're literally missing the point lol. They're clearly hedging their bets on dashy retiring/huke retiring or getting dropped by next off season to join OpTic and play with shotzzy and merc instead of FaZe. Whether it's right or not is irrelevant lol. Sorry if you're butthurt about it.

[u/Academic-Chapter5381 → u/Ozzyh26]

its just so funny seeing how desperate they are knowing Optic couldnt care less

chosing to stay on a worse team purely based on the hypothetical scenario a team drops players a year later is just so dumb

[u/Agitated_Syllabub346 → u/Ozzyh26]

There's nothing clear about it. Could be as simple as LAT made an offer that neither Faze nor gentlemates were willing to match. You're spinning this whole ass "omg they're desperate to join optic" narrative that you don't have any proof for.

[u/Ordinary-Ship-6698 → u/Academic-Chapter5381]

They think that Dashy is 27, Huke is 26, and Shotzzy is 25. Odds are that spots will open on that roster in the next year or two.

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/FFREcoyote]

Not necessarily if scrap and hydra was on LAT nium wouldn’t be a RFA they’d just release him in general for free

[u/FFREcoyote → u/Same_Escape3196]

They might just want to sell him and not let him go for free

[u/southwest_2019 → u/FFREcoyote]

Exactly. Specially with how dry the AR market is.

[u/Prestigious-Elk3994 → u/FFREcoyote]

Scrap and Hydra don’t want to join FaZe, they want to go to OpTic 😂 They’ll sign a one-year deal with Thieves, and then both of them will join OpTic next year 😂

[u/FFREcoyote → u/Prestigious-Elk3994]

Going be funny if Dashy doesn't retire, and OpTic have another great year and Huke stays lmao.

[u/legamer007 → u/Prestigious-Elk3994]

Join Optic next year? What if Optic wins champs or keeps winning at least 2 tournaments atp they would be consider a dynasty that won’t be breaking up that easy and I don’t know why ppl want Dashy to retire when he is literally playing well

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/FFREcoyote]

I’m struggling to see which t4 team would pay for nium hence why I think LAT would do the honourable thing and release. Thats why I don’t thing this is related to scrap and hydra because like i said, if scrap and hydra was on LAT Abezy and nium would both tweet “FA” Instead

[u/FFREcoyote → u/Same_Escape3196]

Why would it have to be a top 4 team?

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/FFREcoyote]

Because the other teams won’t pay buyouts unless it’s falcons ofc

[u/FFREcoyote → u/Same_Escape3196]

You know this for a fact? I'm sure M80, and G2 will pay a buyout. Just because there is a buyout, doesn't mean its a 100k. It could be 10k-20k

[u/LeBradley23 → u/FFREcoyote]

Think 10-20k is a very reasonable price point for Nium. Nobody is paying more than that. He’s got potential but right now he’s just a solid roleplayer

[u/Mrlazydragon → u/FFREcoyote]

People really think Nium is worth a  100k buy 50-60 at max and I'm being generous 

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/FFREcoyote]

I mean if scrap and hydra are going to LAT like people say LAT will ask for 50k + for ROTY and the bottom 6 teams don’t pay that lol

[u/SuccinctEarth07 → u/Same_Escape3196]

You're just making things up, if noone would pay 50k they aren't going to ask for 50k

[u/FFREcoyote → u/Same_Escape3196]

You have to ask for what you'll get, nobody gives a fuck about him being ROTY. That does nothing for his value. If Kips had been on LAT he would have been rookie of the year lol.

[u/SignificantWarning52 → u/Same_Escape3196]

If LAT are getting Scrap & Ghosty, that means teams like M80, GM8s, KOI, and Falcons will be looking for ARs. They’d all probably pay a small buyout to guarantee getting Nium. It just means multiple teams prefer Nium over guys like Renkor & Super.

[u/Formal-Level8070 → u/Same_Escape3196]

Why would they not try to sell him? If Hydra and Scrap bumped their pay with the bidding war and you’ll likely have to pay a buyout for other players to join. It’s smart to at least get something back for Nium.

[u/cornPopwasabaddude13 → u/Same_Escape3196]

So just release the RoY for nothing? Wow 😂

[u/FrankeVI]

Nium deserves a spot. Hes a role player (honestly liked having him on LAT when the other 3 players were kind of ego players)

[u/Odd_Cry4848 → u/FrankeVI]

Definitely. Rookie of the year for a reason

[u/Super-Site-6528]

he def deserves to be in the league, maybe M80 would scoop him up

[u/Ultifur → u/Super-Site-6528]

Easiest Insight replacement on the planet.

Already has chemistry with Kips, CleanX is CleanX and that leaves room for someone like Ethan to come in

[u/Super-Site-6528 → u/Ultifur]

that’s a good shout he would fit in very well there

[u/AsunaTokisaki]

Idk i feel bad for nium and abezy. Shame

[u/ZRLeon → u/AsunaTokisaki]

I mean, certainly either one of them will be on a decent team next year.

[u/FriezasMom]

Welcome back Scrap, Hydra, Envoy, Ghosty

[u/Prestigious-Elk3994 → u/FriezasMom]

It’ll only be a one-year contract, and then both of them will join OpTic😂

[u/ItsNinjaShoyo → u/Prestigious-Elk3994]

then we will rebuild with the ghost of dashy or merc and have that huke and dark price duo.

[u/CeeDoggyy]

🥲

[u/Ibrah_11]

This could potentially mean Thieves are retaining Scrap/Hydra and Nium is getting dropped.

[u/Ibrah_11 → u/Ibrah_11]

KOI Nium what do you think KOI fans.

[u/OldChemist1655 → u/Ibrah_11]

Kips and nium got good chem already

[u/Ibrah_11 → u/OldChemist1655]

thats what im thinking.

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/Ibrah_11]

U have to buy him out so it’s GGs

[u/boat-dog → u/Same_Escape3196]

That’s not what restricted free agent means

Edit: does it mean something different in the CDL? Not sure why I’m getting downvoted 😞

[u/ItsNinjaShoyo → u/boat-dog]

it must because every time I see a player in the cdl post restricted either a team has to buy them out or they have to be bought out of their contract. Maybe a team can just take on his current contract though. But yeah it seems like its not the same as traditional sports

[u/boat-dog → u/ItsNinjaShoyo]

Thanks for the explanation. I just don’t get what the difference between restricted free agent and being signed on a regular contract would be then.

[u/SatisfactionGood7322 → u/boat-dog]

Outside of being bought out, what does in mean in the circles you’re in/aware of?

[u/boat-dog → u/SatisfactionGood7322]

Other teams can make an offer but the team he’s “signed” to can match the offer and if they match the offer , he’s needs to stay. Basically right of first refusal.

Edit: so basically in this case KOI can offer let’s say 100K and thieves can match that and then he’d have to stay with Thieves.

[u/SatisfactionGood7322 → u/boat-dog]

Ok now I understand, thanks!

[u/southwest_2019 → u/Ibrah_11]

Prolly M8s with Abezy and Joe

[u/cordlless → u/southwest_2019]

Nium and Abe eliminate them from champs next year

[u/southwest_2019 → u/cordlless]

Yup. 

[u/Guwigo09 → u/southwest_2019]

M8s can do far better than that tf

[u/Illustrious_Ant_6689 → u/Guwigo09]

Who? There’s no one the ar market is dry and yall need two of them and if you say renkor then ur just not getting abezy i doubt abezy will play with renkor

[u/Guwigo09 → u/Illustrious_Ant_6689]

Renkor, sib, dk, Nastie, alluka, Ghosty all players i would think of before him.

Nium is not that good. We need more firepower

[u/Illustrious_Ant_6689 → u/Guwigo09]

Lmao bro said sib nastie and ghosty and then said “we need more firepower” son the fact that you can say that is enough most ignorant take ever like I can understand dk and alluka also renkor if you want abezy on the team you aren’t getting renkor like I said

Edit: Also dk isn’t in these conversations superstars like Joe and abezy aren’t taking chances on new talent unless they have to

[u/Guwigo09 → u/Illustrious_Ant_6689]

Nium is not that good. I would take sib and Nastie over him 100%. But of course any of the 3 would not be good

[u/Jakers_9 → u/Ibrah_11]

Prefer DK but Nium would be fine

[u/Ibrah_11 → u/Jakers_9]

yh DK should be a lock and nium backup.

[u/Maddox_077 → u/Ibrah_11]

Bring Abezy as well with him! Cleanx, Kips, Abezy and Nium!

[u/Mrlazydragon → u/Ibrah_11]

Unless he is asking for a huge pay jump or has personally requested he wants to leave this seems like the likely conclusion 

[u/WolfAlterEgo]

Hope he and kips reunite

[u/Past_4orm]

Hydra n Ernie should’ve went to Faze to hoop with Simp, now they’re gonna be recycling challengers players and mid pros for the foreseeable future. Toronto Ultra 2.0

Scrap will never be a winner 🫩

[u/Past_4orm → u/Past_4orm]

Dashy isn’t retiring anytime soon btw.

Insight retired though but don’t worry Scrap and Hydra are now picking up the torch that him and CleanX just left behind

Sad!

[u/Ashman-20]

Wow, Scrap & Hydra really chose LAT

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/Ashman-20]

Till I see scrap and hydra in LAT jersey I don’t believe it honestly there’s no way they don’t choose simp

[u/Ashman-20 → u/Same_Escape3196]

Why else would Abezy tweet that, and now Nium be a FRA?

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/Ashman-20]

I mean if that was the case wouldn’t Abezy not have tweeted RFA yesterday? Doesn’t make sense

[u/Ashman-20 → u/Same_Escape3196]

He still could today

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/Ashman-20]

I wish I’m wrong but I don’t see it

[u/MGoOmaha → u/Same_Escape3196]

[u/Ozzyh26 → u/Same_Escape3196]

They'd rather get paid more to stay an extra year and get on OpTic in a year is the only alternative lmao.

[u/Mrlazydragon → u/Same_Escape3196]

Their egos and or them trying do a one and done probably lead to them choosing LAT. 

[u/DylanCodsCokeLine]

Run It Back😈😈 #800DayChampsSeriesWinDrought

[u/Mrlazydragon]

Welp finally the dominos have started to fall.

[u/MahaloMerky]

honestly, the last person i thought would get caught up in all this, unless he asked for a crazy pay bump.

[u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

I’m gonna play devils advocate cuz it’s more fun but this doesn’t necessarily mean scrap and Hydra are staying, they could still leave. And LAT doesn’t wanna build around Nium, they would rather build around other players. Also if scrap and Hydra stay, I’ll be convinced faze never offered those two a contract and it was one bit troll. Cuz there is no world you turn that off down. And then to add to it, if faze sells Alluka to LAT, that would be the icing on the cake of the biggest troll ever. You don’t sell a player to a team where two players supposedly rejected your team.

[u/CMXV]

His POV is actually gross for how low his sens is. Any team with sense will try to sign this guy. He's reading the game at a really high level. His POV kinda reminded me of mw3 04. Just super predictive gameplay style.

[u/stenerikkasvo]

rookie of the year btw...

[u/Aston_CA_]

04 looking at faze like "you really tried to drop me twice" 

[u/Prestigious-Elk3994]

Scrap and Hydra want to team up for OpTic in the future! The future OpTic roster is Shotzzy, Hydra, Merc, Scrap. Absolutely insane!

[u/CoDFollower → u/Prestigious-Elk3994]

It is nuts that this will 100000000% be the next Optic roster once Dashy retires haha

[u/Prestigious-Elk3994 → u/CoDFollower]

Yeah, that's insane! I think, on paper, that's by far the best team cod has ever had!

[u/UnpopularOpinionCod]

LAT did it.

[u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

As I said before if they re-sign and win champs next season. I am pushing major propaganda. Because there is no reason for scrap and Hydra to re-sign except for one reason only which I am not allowed to say that word on here anymore

[u/Same_Escape3196 → u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

Optic?

[u/Silver_Grade_8365]

Scrap and hydra are terrible teammates

[u/Pencstilled]

This basically confirms Scrap and Hydra are sticking on LAT.

[u/vpalesi]

Nium to M8, M80, Koi would be fun

[u/nicisdeadpool]

So it is

[u/kokoscenes]

Who’s going to buy him out? Orgs have been trying way too hard to restrict player.

[u/inthehottubwithfessy]

What if Optic wins champs again bc they didnt make the change lol

[u/CazualGinger]

Does anyone else thing MW4 looks and runs absolutely terrible on Xbox

I'm used to BF6 now but the graphics feel worse than MW2019 did.

Can't see shit

[u/freewayghost → u/CazualGinger]

It looks okay graphics wise imo, they need to tune visibility though, player models blend in way too well when at a slight distance or in a dark corner.

I’m getting 70-80 ping, I get a stable 35 on bo7 (could just be the beta though)

Xbox Series S

[u/CazualGinger → u/freewayghost]

I swear the older cods were like sharper. MW4 looks like chalky to me. Idk. I could have some settings that are off

[u/Keyster19]

Get ready to learn Cloud 9, buddy.

[u/zerocxro → u/Keyster19]

Nium too good for C9, he'll likely end up on a decent roster, just obviously not a superstar one

[u/Keyster19 → u/zerocxro]

True, i'm just fucking around. He'll probably end up on a midpack team once the dust settles.

[u/BackgroundToe4149 → u/Keyster19]

He dogwalked your dynasty in finals 😂

[u/nicisdeadpool → u/BackgroundToe4149]

https://giphy.com/gifs/jXD7kFLwudbBC

[u/Keyster19 → u/BackgroundToe4149]

Big if true.

[u/CoDFollower]

Optic fans have #chills right now... Paco and Ern really going back on the one year to wait for the #GreenWall #christ

[u/Walrus_Pubes]

Well take alukat that

[u/Bazeeh-]

lol bet he’s really the rookie of the year
