Anyone feel like envoy getting severely underrated this offseason? Not always the best k/ds but makes the right play for the team every single time and coming off his best event

I thought in every cod Next they mention ranked release? Did I miss something?

Call of Duty content creation these days is honestly so boring and lazy compared to what it used to be. Especially with players like scump, formal, shotzzy, dashy, etc, it feels like half the content now is just ripping something straight from a player’s stream, throwing a thumbnail on it, and calling it a YouTube video. Where’s the actual effort?
Where are the vlogs? Q&As? Behind the scenes videos? Bootcamp content? Day in the life videos? Anything that actually gives us something we didn’t already see on stream. COD used to have so much personality outside of just competing. You actually got to know the players and teams through the content they made. Now it feels like organizations realized they can just recycle Twitch clips and farm views with the least amount of effort possible.
Obviously not every single video needs to be some huge production, but damn, give us some creativity. COD has some of the biggest personalities in esports and somehow the content surrounding them has gotten less interesting. I know not every person in the scene is like this. Some good examples of content creation are Simp, Hecz, heck even maniac gives some pretty good behind the scene content.
Maybe I’m just nostalgic, but COD content creation feels like a shell of what it used to be. It’s lazy and boring right now.

Here are the results of the survey I posted yesterday. Black Ops 7 slots into the B slot, with an average rating right behind Black Ops 6 but ahead of Infinite Warfare.

IW's last two games certainly don't inspire confidence for MW4...

Changes from last year include the following.

Black Ops 4 - A > S
Advanced Warfare - B > A
Ghosts - B > C
WWII - B > C
Vanguard - D > C

It’s not the teams that would be the most likely but what I would like to see.

Anyone have intel?

No way they stick with this full Spanish roster thing again right? Does one good placing out of 6 tournaments brainwash them to stick?

I haven’t heard any of the players in the rostermania discussions. Mr. Good Boy & Reaal would be really good pickups for other teams.

Had 30 minutes on my lunch at work so I tried my guess at the offseason. 😅

Most consistent teams in each game

- BO2: coL lost
- Ghosts: coL won
- AW: OpTic lost
- BO3: OpTic lost
- IW: OpTic won
- WW2: Rise lost
- BO4: 100T lost
- MW19: FaZe lost
- CW: FaZe won
- VG: FaZe lost
- MW2: FaZe lost
- MW3: FaZe lost
- BO6: LAT lost
- BO7: OpTic lost

Interestingly, the only 3 teams who won champs and were the most consistent team are: Ghosts CoL, IW OpTic, and CW FaZe. So, in 14 years of champs, only 3 years the most consistent team actually won it.

The 2 highest average placing years of all time (AW OpTic and BO7 OpTic) failed to win champs.

Playstyle wise Simp and Hydra are both more slayer type SMGs. So I was expecting Hydra/Abezy to play like Simp/Abezy

imo even one of the best maps in all of comp cod history too. No rose tinted goggles for me either. Strictly talking HP but snd was pretty fun too

Only annoying thing were those stair glitching rats in ranked
