Why H3CZ doesn\u2019t see LA Thieves as OpTic\u2019s biggest CDL rival YouTube: H3CZ \/ LA ThievesWhile the OpTic Chicago and Los Angeles Thieves matchup has the Call of Duty scene salivating, it won\u2019t be the Green Wall\u2019s biggest rivalry in the 2021 season, according to CEO Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez. With the history between H3CZ and Thieves owner Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag, it\u2019s easy for fans to hype up their first CDL showdown. They may be close friends outside the game, but both are gunning for that top spot in the league. Given the Thieves are a brand new force for the 2021 season, viewers are excited to see them in action. Fans even voted OpTic to be their very first opponents in the upcoming CDL Kickoff Classic. Despite the anticipation, however, H3CZ doesn\u2019t buy into the rivalry. \u201cDo you think that\u2019s going to be your team\u2019s biggest rival this year?\u201d Anthony \u2018NAMELESS\u2019 Wheeler asked during a January 19 interview. \u201cNo,\u201d H3CZ bluntly replied. \u201cI get it. I get we\u2019re trying to hype this thing up,\u201d he admitted. Though H3CZ would rather see the league\u2019s biggest feuds grow \u201corganically.\u201d Rather than immediately lining the Thieves up as their top challenger due to history outside of the game, he\u2019d rather see narratives emerge from within. \u201cI just don\u2019t think Call of Duty needs the added extra. Storylines are going to develop from the beginning.\u201d Instead, H3CZ doubled down on a stance he made clear back in December. \u201cEveryone that doesn\u2019t say FaZe or Empire is their number one rivalry is just playing for the crowd,\u201d he explained. To be the best, OpTic has to beat the best and that\u2019s just what H3CZ intends for the Chicago lineup to achieve in 2021. \u201cEverybody here is going after Empire, period. If you\u2019re not gunning after the champions\u2026 I don\u2019t know.\u201d The relevant topic begins at the 14:00 mark below. Trying to force a major beef between the Green Wall and the Thieves is simply \u201ctoo WWE,\u201d according to H3CZ. \u201cFor people to be like \u2018oh, it\u2019s Nadeshot vs H3CZ,\u2019 we\u2019re not those dudes.\u201d So while the matchup might be intense when these two juggernauts first collide on January 24, don\u2019t expect to see any wild trash talk from either owner. Empire and FaZe are the true rivals for OpTic in 2021, according to H3CZ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
