The Reverse Sweep crew of Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker, and Katie Bedford recently discussed how that would be \u201chorrible\u201d for the Green Wall. Following OpTic\u2019s worst week yet, as the stacked lineup lost six maps in a row against Minnesota and Florida, their backs are now against the wall. Currently fifth in the Group B standings, one more loss \u201cguarantees a Losers start in Major 2,\u201d as Bedford explained. Throughout the next Home Series event, starting April 1, OpTic has to take on an upsurging Seattle before meeting the 2020 champs Dallas Empire. \u201cAnything can happen,\u201d according to Pacman, but the Chicago squad needs a huge rebound if they want to start in the upper bracket for the Major. Should they fall short and drop either series, it could leave them in a \u201chorrible\u201d position, Enable said. \u201cIt would be horrible for them to start this Major in Losers, for their mentality.\u201d Struggling more than ever before in Week 2, OpTic is certainly in a slump. \u201cNow I lost full,\u201d Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper tweeted after the second loss of the week. Clearly agitated at their performance, another week of shortcomings could be disastrous heading into the Major. \u201c\u201cIf they start in Losers and say they end the second Major out early, who knows what their mindset is moving forward,\u201d Enable added. While that\u2019s obviously the worst-case scenario, it might not be all doom and gloom. Should they fall short, it\u2019s going to be \u201cscary\u201d for their first opponents in the Major. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to fight OpTic in Losers early,\u201d Pacman stressed.

Things are incredibly \u201ctight from top to bottom\u201d in the current CDL standings.
