The memories one man has brought to all of us supporting the green wall will forever stick with us. From winning champs to making 1/4 of a dynasty we love you Mat enjoy what you’re going to do and we will always support you!
True green army well said sir
Sticking like a Semtex on Scump this past season
That's true, but wait til the king retires lol
THE GREEN WALL IS TOO STRONG!!!
The fact that people thought Matt was at a low was disgusting. Matt’s “lows” are still better than half the league. Insane stuff
There were at least 10 AR's better than him this last year. So yeah it was a low
@@shayurramdutt8267 delusional
@@shayurramdutt8267 10 is a stretch
@@Sai-ty8bj Alec, Cellium, Majormaniak, Crim, Clay, Cammy, Insight, Octane. Okay not 10 but that's definitely 8
@@shayurramdutt8267 if you’re comparing main ARs only and not 2nd ARs / flexes, he was probably t5 for the whole year behind Insight, Alec, Octane and Crim.
Also it’s good to see the goat Roger on the podcast too, guy has been an unreal addition to the team
Based on what?
@@shayurramdutt8267 his production on the videos? And the process being so good
@@shayurramdutt8267 video production and quality. The process vids speak for themselves.
Roger look a bit downy
@@pacoorozco9532 clearly that clown who said based on what isn’t a real OpTic fan or he’d know who Roger is. His production skills are fireee. An shoutout Matty w the pods too!
23:03 Is what you've been looking for🙌
Goated
My man
Thank u g
You dropped your crown I picked it up for you
God
Matthew "FormaL" Piper is the 🐐
Oh shit this is cod Cloud. Big fan man👍
@@calloforestis3126 Much love g
LETS GO MATHIAS YOU SEXY MAN
Nah BigT is the 🐐
Nah bro he’s was good but he’s not has good anymore
Matt was such a legend in the scene and inspiration to many players including myself, sucks to see him retire but I’m glad we get to see him in more content under OG.
I really hope the crew at OpTic help formal develop into the content creator we all know he can be. If he starts doing clips, consistent streams at regular times (not overnight, with Webcam etc), maybe CZcams vids..... Sheeeeesh he'd blow up
I love how boze seemed into this one! So much better when he is talkative. Cuz he is one of my favorites on optic. Great podcast !
watching u throughout ur career has been an honor, truly a blessing to watch u throughout the years competing and also in the optic videos and watching ur streams truly the goat of controller gaming
I’m glad to hear he’s just taking the year for himself after seeing the next cod cause I know he’s still a goat at the game and has a lot more to give and I’m hoping to see him next next cod
Man I love seeing Rog where he is today doing big things. I remember when he was just working his way up and found himself in TK with Justin & them. Good times. Keep up the grind Rog!
So happy there is a new podcast out
Finally another podcast. I missed these so much
Thank you for trying your hardest Formal you really got me into watching competitive gaming true OG
What an absolute perfect day/weekend to upload this all incredible people 💚🖤
Will always remember T2P, great run boys 🤝
He will be back . Especially if next year is jetpacks
@@About36Greekss depends if his content takes off or not
One of the best to ever to it! Always a legend ❤️👑
Love you Matt. “FORMAL” ggZ & keep it pushing!! Ty for a exciting and top tier career!! As a fan I appreciated you. Ty bro
Roger if you want people to talk cameras with let me know! Video production is my dream and if y'all need more hands on deck for Optic it'd be a dream job!
Looking forward to the next episode of The Process, you guys have crushed the content game this year. Keep it up!
Dope to see Roger on the show! Need to see other members of the production team get involved!
Been waiting for the fire content to come back 🤸
Formal paid his dues to the community as a optic fan for 10 years there’s a bond there just watching every game every pod cast even back from the dynasty.But as a community we have to support him even as a content creator same for Seth when the king decides to part his ways.Much love ❤️ T2P 4E✈️
I feel like formal has felt this way for a while now and honestly might have held back optic because he was the weak link not due to skill but you can tell he just didn’t want to play it was the same with karma just before he retired. He is truly the best AR in terms of gun skill cod has ever seen tho and probably ever will see. FPS legend.
Facts. He lost the drive
I think the first time CHI played DAL in MW might be the last time i saw formal really hyped
@@globalxgod8925 proved his point lol I think that 10 spree on checkmate control was his “I still got it but I’m out” moment
@@JretnuH formal gotta be top 3 control checkmate player lmao.
@@elijahgonzalez6225 shit idk about all that lol. Ultra had him in the cycle
Man imma miss Matt competing but I’m happy I was there thru his journey and it was one hell of a ride. Much love to u Matt the GOAT H4F BABY
I was actually hyped to see Roger on the podcast
Formal forever my Idol AR Player. Love that guy so much. Legend ❤️💚
Lovin the content from everyone!
We love Formal! Good luck in your career!
Good to see Rog in the podcast, great vid
From Scarborough England. Sir formal may cod bless you, Thanking you for all you have done in CDL and speaking on mental health issues (TOP MAN FORMAL) A happy retirement and awaiting your return. 😁.
Much love to you Matt. GREEN WALL FOREVER
I think formal is still that guy and would still fry if he was on a pro team
Wym from “on a pro team”? He was literally competing this year and had good placement Top 4-3 all year besides CHAMPS
Wtf kind of comment is this? Lmao
@@eman_1806 twice finished outside of top 4, you not remember how bad stage 2 was? not to mention going 2-3 on stage 3 pre major
@@eman_1806 lol dude they placed 5rh alot this year half the reason they lost alot of games was because of formal and envoy. Everyone outside the top 5 teams was terrible this year witch is why everyone got squad wiped for nxt seaaon
?
The way mboze banged on the desk while talkin bout rufflez 😂😂😂
man i remember when i was big into halo competitive from halo 2-reach and when formal switched right before halo died(imo). In reach formal came on the scene, he was my favorite player to watch then and he has done so much more in cod ever since.
Their waters always look so damn refreshing
Rodger needs to be in these more love his answers and his perspective behind the camera
Mat u will be forever a legend, hope u come back after this break, if not i wish u the best tranks for the good times
That was cool having Roger on the podcast.
FormaL I’ve been watching you since your 1st match in CoD. I will miss you competing forever. You and Scump are the main reasons I want to play cod professionally. Your one of my idols I’m gonna miss you best believe you’ll see me In every damn stream and video. H4F💚
Absolute Legend who never had an issue putting the whole league on his back at times. Couldn’t ask for a better all-around teammate able to adapt to any position
..what?
We love Formal! ❤
Played a game of S&D with Formal in Modern Warfare. Joined my game and I thought there is no chance its him. Then watched him clutch a 6 v 1 to win the game. It was a sight to behold.
This is going to be a GOOD ONE
question for the podcast: what is your go-to order at the Frisco diner?
Formal a goat for saying Take Care. Underground kings might be my favorite track.
Love hitch’s live reads!
shiiiiit i had to have a sesh before this, i totally understand not wanting to go through the process in a game you already feel isnt gonna be your vibe, i hope to see him back in a better cod doing better than ever, a break just might be what he needs to enter that zone again.
Great video 🙏
Im a truck driver and was trying to race back home from Maine to Pennsylvania during the storm. I was driving right into the storm and got stuck in New York City for like 22 hours either parked or driving around trying to find a road I could drive on that wasnt flooded. They shut down all the major highways and me and like tens of thousands of other trucks got stuck in this one little town called Nyack on the outskirts of the city. It was a nightmare so many accidents and people trapped. If i was an hour earlier I wouldve made it through the city before it got shut down but I just got horrible timing.
loved watching roger on the podcast. Would be good to get Matt on as well sometime!!
Always a goat on the sticks!
I just wanna say I've always been apart of HFF and I'll always be here to support
it’s h4f 😔
FormaL retiring may not be what the fans expected, but if that's what he needs for himself all the best to him. He's had an amazing career and like he said for right now it was the move but who knows, maybe if things change he'll be back at it again, Good luck to him regardless!
FaZe Optic... Damn, who would've thought? Crazy!
Love the podcast!
My question is, If you had to live in a video game world, what world would it be? And Why?
Need a video of Matty doing his stream set ups in detail 🙌🏽
Any updates on the merch for getting your question answered on the pod ?
I made the Only fans OpTic x FaZe meme! So glad you found the funny side of it!
Had me creasing when I saw it
FormaL the goat I’ll support him if he is doing good or bad
Can we talk about how you all seem absolutely fried LOL. Pine Park got some good advertising there :P
What a Legend Big Piper
Ngl this podcast lineup is crazy.
I agree but why do ppl say ngl for absolutely no reason
When’s HECZ mimicked the haircut, it actually had me dead. Omg
“oh Kyler..i got his shit..he loves it.” 🤣🤣 formal killin me
FormaL will always be the greatest cod AR and my favorite player. I really hope to see him back on Optic for the next game, really disappointed that the team didn’t stick together.
Boze's fits are always fire!
the ninja convo was gold lol mboz
Thats my boy, Formal is the man
Formal said it time and time again and it shows, his environment effects his performance drastically. He’s hated the past few CODs, when esports starts to feel like your anyway warehouse job you’d retire too 😂
Hecz, Give the the Fly God album a listen by Westside Gun. We're around the same age. I'm from IL, grew up in the boom bap era of Hip Hop and I was into the graff and bboy scene in Chicago. I feel like we have the same understanding of the culture. It was a breath of fresh air in todays music and their clothing line is straight art. And Formal is a goat. Hope he comes back next year.
Formal a real one for that blue gatorade + jalapeño miss vickies combo
Makes me cry
Optic contents championship squad right there
The legend shall be immortalized in stone
When formal said miss vickies jalapeño chips😍
Love u guys
Ninja was a halo 3 pro that I always watch back in the day. I never ever dreamed that he would ever be as big as he is right now bc he was just a halo pro. It’s really really mind blowing
i’m probably going to end up crying during this
Question for the podcast: Would you rather live 10 one hundred year lives or 1 one thousand year life?
(You age slowly in the one thousand year life, like you’re 20 for 100 years) and you retain your knowledge from previous lives in the first option.
Question for the next podcast:
How do you guys see call of duty esports growing and getting more exposure in latin america, or other parts of the world in the upcoming years?
Every time hecz moves bozes mic in different videos cracks me tf up 😂
And then with bade back in the day, “speak into the camera, project.” 💀
we need more roger
“ I seen a rat do backstrokes” Boze is hilarious dawg🤣🤣🤣
Love you
FormaL
Formal is goatee for knowing about Ms. Vicki’s chips
Just sad to see half of the day stay and half of T2P gone Matt is such a legend in the scene crazy that people still consider and feel that him and Seth are washed, this is heartbreaking not prepared for the day Seth leaves aswell
No shot Hecz has been a staple in the gaming scene for so long and never heard a J Cole song until this yr lol
hitch doesnt even make an effort to sell off the sponser and i love it
Would love to see some jetpacks come back and see formal back in full form that’s where he’s best
Question for the next pod: if you were to be stranded on an island with one person in OpTic who would you choose?
Love you, Matt! no homo
Pleeeeaaaasseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee have those clips play on the small screen in the middle of the desk pleaseeeeeeeeee lol
FPS on the hecz camera is dropping. It's noticeable when it switches scenes to hecz close cam.
Thought my phone was dying
So happy to see formal and see he’s doing well. Don’t think I’ll recover from this tho :(
i knew i fw roger as soon as i saw that giants hat
Gotta get some time stamps on here boys
Man Hecz i would strongly suggest listening to The College Dropout album from Kanye I think you would enjoy that the most since it was made in the early 2000s its really good
Nothing but love for the GreenWall
Is it just me or does the camera aimed at Hecz and Boze always has a lower frame rate and lighting? I just noticed it and realized it's been happening for a couple episodes now, gave me anxiety lmao
Yeah for a few episodes now it's been like that
the camera aimed at hecz and boze looks better then the camera aimed at everyone
Yeah it’s mad annoying
That gives you anxiety? What do you do when you get fired or lose your house? You die from anxiety?
@@gilian2554 yup
yooo "...you come from this bloodline, you might wanna start making clothes, son" lmaoooo
