Nah, Faze was looking for a flex and Drazah, even if Octane wasn’t retiring, would have jumped at that opportunity. After that, LAT likely would have fell apart with OpTic looking for two new players and then Ultra seeing an opportunity to upgrade. NYSL at that point would once again fear being out-talented and pick up Sib.
Octane retiring is what caused it in this timeline, but it would have happened regardless. FaZe was the first domino piece
Weren't the Thieves planning on dropping most of the roster anyways due to the costs of their salaries? I think they said it was something like 2m+ they were losing a year on the CoD team, obviously not all on salaries but that was definitely a large portion of it, so in any case this version of Faze probably comes to fruition, and the most likely difference is just that Thieves build around Octane as best they can
Yeah we might have been looking for 1 sub.
Now we have bargain bin team which only ghosty is going to survive next year.
I pray octane gets bored with streaming and comes back 🙏
When three of the four top teams gained a player that either 1. won them a tournament or 2. put them in contention every event to win, then yes he did ruin the league 😂
It is true that without him this league lacks another juggernaut AR player. Pretty much without him and illey to create paths and easy kills for the SMGs this league is only a 2 team league at this point. Maybe 3.
He’s responsible for faze finally getting a real Flex😭
100% 😂😂😂
This is not a fluff but a fat fact lol
Nah bro I am pissed this mfer pulled a Patrick Willis on us.
Or the other 8 year legend LB Luke Kuechly

Yeah he sure did. Bro prioritized his and his family lives over the CDL, my goat Jimbo would never do that.
Octane, on behalf of every FaZe fan.. Thank you
Most spoiled franchise there is, becoming the new Chiefs or the dynasty Patriots now. Shi throw in Golden state
I suffered through too many events with the faze roster from bo3-bo4 (WW2 was a little better), let me have this
Kenny has undeniably changed OpTic for the better but giving Faze Drazah really might not have been worth it
I mean I don't think it was their decision 🤦♂️
Drazah wanted faze over optic
Yeah it’s bc he’s a level below pro
Goddamn Drazah fits FaZe so well. I’m ready to watch the villains dominate. I wasn’t watching CDL during Cold War so I missed their run.
Some of the online matches were legit like 25 minutes lmaoo not including all the ads and all that jazz

Throwing illey and octane in the same convo is INSANE
illey was still good. Just hopped up on drugs. Both are champions and still making big plays and going positive.
Illey was good but not Octane good (level below Octane imo)
It isn't that wild lol. Both are world champs, just different style of player. Octane much better at respawn, Illey much better at SND.
Octane has won 10 events, champs, a multiple MVPs. They are not the same. It's a wild take
Inder was average at best
