Why OpTic Chicago struggle to beat top CDL teams \u2013 Enable & Pacman Activision\/YouTube: Dexerto Call of DutyWith OpTic Chicago slowly falling down the Call of Duty League pecking order, Reverse Sweep\u2019s Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt and Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker discuss what\u2019s stopping them from beating the top teams \u2014 and becoming one. With the talent on the OpTic roster, they should (and likely will) always be aiming to win championships. It\u2019s a stacked squad full of proven winners and, at the start of the season, many expected them to be a top two or three team without much struggle. Halfway through Stage 3, though, and the Chicago side seem to be losing steam. They\u2019re fourth in the overall standings at the time of writing, tied with New York Subliners, and only slightly ahead of a resurgent LA Thieves side. Meanwhile, their results aren\u2019t improving and they\u2019re letting their grasp on the top three slip. But why exactly is this happening? On the Reverse Sweep CDL review show, Enable and Pacman discussed exactly this, pinpointing what is going wrong for OpTic. \u201cThey\u2019re starting to look like a team that doesn\u2019t have the next gear,\u201d Pacman says. \u201cI feel like we\u2019ve seen it, but it\u2019s never consistent. It\u2019s always in these little spurts.\u201d He adds that he \u201cfeels like they\u2019re a top 6 team,\u201d but that \u201cit doesn\u2019t feel like they\u2019re ever going to hit that point where they\u2019re the best team in the game.\u201d Consistency is actually something that Enable believes they struggle with too, but in more of a long-term sense. \u201cI think their number one problem has been an issue historically for OpTic,\u201d the 100 Thieves man said. \u201cThey are so good in the beginning of these games, just because they have some of the most talented players on their team. Then once you hit that midway point, teams start figuring out the game\u2026 OpTic doesn\u2019t. They\u2019re not as disciplined as these other teams.\u201d OpTic will be hoping to turn around their fortunes in Stage 3 and throughout the rest of the season, especially with Champs seeding on the line throughout the final half of the year. Whether they manage to get back on top, though, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
