      Hecz what if they did different sections. Like dallas and chicago, toronto and seattle, paris london, LA *2, and NY, miami. so the players dont travel so much. Split it up so each side plays the other. Winner of NY Miami plays the winner of London Paris, and so forth. creates more matches but not too much. restoring the amount of tourneys played offering not too much but smaller to large tourneys. The two best teams play winner sits at the top while all the other teams play a loosers bracket 1L you're out for the Grand final. aka the new champs.

      @FrankieBagOChips Před 4 lety +9

      @Rain In July what points did he not hit? He was spot on IMO. I grew up off CoD. I'm 24 now and this game is fucking dead because of Lack of competitive gameplay. They coulda had me on CoD for the rest of my life, instead I swapped to PC for games like Counterstrike and Siege. CoD has been fucked for a long time now, purely because of a lack of competitive play. You should not HAVE to go to a 3rd Party site to play the game competitively, period. Of course 3rd party sites are most likely going to be more inclusive with better talent, but for the layman- they need to be introduced to it.

    @ITrendzI Před 4 lety +36

    I think to “go pro” there needs to be a ranked mode. In league of legends the main recruit pool comes from Solo Queue. I think that’s the best way to do it along with the amateur tournaments because it’ll eliminate the “who you know”. A lot of players don’t get a chance because they don’t know who else to team with. CoD needs a ranked mode ASAP FOR EVERY GAME

    • @Bayuuk
      @Bayuuk Před 4 lety

      Ernesto Sanchez wven when CoD has Ranked, like Bo4, there is a bigger emphasis on pro points/GBs/Wagers. The devs actually have to support comp and the top __ players from ranked get a chance to go to a qualifier similar to LoL, but that doesn’t happen.

I'm not suggesting a lot of people need to be drafted, but seems like there could be good potential for this. A lot of colleges are offering scholarships for E-Sports, and I have noticed high schools starting to offer it as a lettered sport.

    odcast are so cool for the fact, Ik it’s from when I was an immature kid following optic, but I kinda hated clay for no real reason and always despised seeing him beat optic. The is podcast really showed the true side of James Eubanks.

    "Two grand isn't a lot of money" that's hilarious

      Chandler Myers I think he’s more saying 2 grand doesn’t go really far when you consider rent and bills etc. Especially at that time in cod where those 2k tournaments weren’t that frequent

      no brotha. remember 2 grand was the prize of 1st place. which was split 4 ways. so he would've gotten 500

    I love ranked play last year! It stops the game being boring after the first few months! Going for camos isn’t fun anymore... 55 challenges wow that’s so fun 🥴 PUT RANKED IN

    Love the podcast bro! Although feel a little let down on this one.. It had huge potential as clays story/career is so unique/important to Cod but I feel he wasn’t given a chance to share his story properly which is a shame. Few topics of conversation like 6050 isn’t really necessary.

      I agree I wanted to know more about his move from FaZe and becoming a franchise player for EU maybe touch on some of the JKap stuff from last year. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the episode but, it was just talking about the state of comp COD

      Yeah that’s what I mean man. I feel like this would be more suited to a second podcast with clay. His story is so interesting it just felt a bit underwhelming. I’m sure they’ll do part 2 and go into it though hopefully!

      Thank god for this comment man. I though i was going mad. I was waiting for so long to see Clay there but they didn't talk about so many things. They have to do a second one for sure. I liked it but I am so disappointed.

    Those teams that make the subs feel apart of the team and use them correctly for different strats or to mix up the series will be the best teams in the league. If everyone feels apart of the same team making mid series changes shouldn’t affect chemistry.
