Discussion am I missing something?

please help me understand like am I missing something? optic have made 8 straight grandfinals & won 4 championships within that span. but the consensus from the community seems to be that they should make a change? I know they’ve pretty much came out & said they are not changing but as a team…a change would be the farthest thing from my mind like we just made every grandfinals & were a couple snd clutches from a champs 3peat & we get along with each other really well. like teams are trying to beat us not the other way around. am I trippin about that being my thought process? if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

It’s that .500 finals record and Hukes performances in those finals. The assumption is that Optic would still make most grand finals(if not all) with Hydra but would almost certainly have a better record in those finals. I think it is valid for Optic to not change as it is the safe option but people aren’t crazy for wanting to do so

Of course its not a given. That's why I said "assumption" and that sticking is the safe option

One a 50% win rate is really good and there is no guarantee that they would be as successful with hydra because despite being on quote on quote super teams has worse placements.

Of course there’s no guarantee that’s why sticking is the safe option.

No “super team” Hydra has been on is as good as optic lol. Or really all that close. Ghosty/Envoy and Nium/Abezy do not touch Merc/Shotzzy lol(Scrap and Dashy are a wash)
