OpTic\u2019s Crimsix explains why comebacks are not as special in Black Ops 4 OpTic Gaming\u2019s Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter believes that specialists are playing a big role in some of the insane comebacks that were witnessed at CWL Las Vegas. With Crimsix\u2019 veteran leadership, OpTic won their first event after a year long slump throughout the CoD: WWII season, taking the first championship of the Black Ops 4 season. And a lot has changed for Black Ops 4, not least the move to 5v5 and the new Control gamemode \u2013 but also, perhaps most significantly, the return of specialists. Recapping their impressive CWL Las Vegas run, which included plenty of hardpoint comebacks, Crimsix explained that \u201cComebacks in this game, aren\u2019t necessarily comebacks.\u201d Giving the example of the grand final hardpoint vs eUnited (which eU led 236-120 at one point), Crimsix explains that specialists were the main reason that their opponents got so far ahead, and the reason that OpTic could come back to win. \u201cThey had a lead by like 60 points, then they used all their specialists to bounce that lead to like 120 points, without us using any\u201d, he says, meaning OpTic could use all their specialists with no counter -\u201cWhen we were coming back, we didn\u2019t have to worry all that much about what specialists they might have.\u201d He also explains that in the earlier match between the two teams, were eUnited almost made a 60 point comeback vs OpTic, it was the same story of specialists dictating which team was on top. Specialists are a contentions topic within both the casual and competitive Call of Duty communities. Many argue that they are too impactful, and detract from the traditional gun-on-gun style of CoD. However, there is no denying that specialists can create big, exciting moments for spectators, both with individual plays, and remarkable team comebacks, as Crimsix explains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
