One of the funniest things is Liverpool thinking they can take Olise from Bayern Munich. He’s not at Crystal Palace anymore he’s at Bayern, a club bigger than you in every way. It’s like someone thriving at Real Madrid and suddenly you think, “oh yeah, we can tempt him away.”
The reality is simple: ambition, status, project, money, and the platform all matter. Bayern offers elite competition, the Champions League, and a team built around winning.
So what exactly would motivate him to leave that for Liverpool? It’s not just about money or history, it’s about platform, security, and personal growth. At Bayern, Olise has stability, high-level teammates around him, and a tactical setup that fits his strengths. He’s being developed to dominate games, and he knows that the next few seasons could define his peak.
Moving to Liverpool would mean rebuilding influence, competing for minutes, and adjusting to a system that may or may not maximize him the same way. Even if Liverpool is a big club, in this case it’s a step sideways at best, or even a small risk in terms of career progression. Bayern gives him fame, trophies, and individual recognition, and that’s hard to beat especially when you’re already thriving and on the radar for elite honors.
Basically, this isn’t just about ability it’s about context, timing, and the project around him. Olise has no reason to leave a club that’s already shaping itself around him just for a club that can’t offer the same certainty or trajectory.
@Treyarch I thought you said it’s a leaderboard with people in your division? Every game I played I played people two divisions higher… what a shit show

@lfczac07@AkkoG5@RonnieInteL Okay so what if lat made the losers bracket run and made it to the finals but never played optic why should they start with a 1-0 lead when they never even played?
@RonnieInteL Having a map lead is crazy. I’d rather them do a BO9 / BO7 and losers get nothing. We already established the CDL will never truly make it “competitive” but remove the veto systems for teams that come from losers. Make winners mean something. Losers choosing 2,3,4 is wild to me
Honestly the only way to fix the format is to have only Challengers and CDL grand finals on the Sunday in a BO9.
CDL will forever keep one single series as a 50/50 win percentage is the perfect thing for their product as there’s no guarantee on who wins.
@CDLHater Not being able to scrim, whilst they are in a losers final is actually crazy. Faze played very well, but everyone knows optic go 2-0/3-0 up if the tables was turnt
Methodz reveals the CDL did NOT allow OpTic to scrim The Huntsmen 👀😳
"What's weird and something I don't get at all, apparently the CDL didn't let us scrim Huntsmen before the Grand Finals"
"We're tryna stay warm, that's something I don't f*cking get, super weird" 🗣️😬
@PeteysScooter@user7867876@FrMjayzzz@04DaDon They lost an over time overload and a 6-5 snd. They didn’t get shit on and you know for a fact if they didn’t have to wait 90 minutes to play, they probably go 2-0 up
@user7867876@FrMjayzzz@04DaDon If OpTic’s guns can’t get hot after 1 map, that’s on them. Doesn’t take 5 maps to get hot.
They just got shit on. Accept it.
FaZe didn't win because of bracket cheese. They played lights out. That's why they won.
It's important to remember that when saying the format should change going forward.
@DJ__98@TorontoUltra@H_eroh_@Shotzzy It’s not on Huke. He’s been their best player. A team can play a bad series. That’s why the format is terrible. If optic didn’t have to wait 2 hours the first HP would have been different. Optic have been flawless but come short again in the finals
@TorontoUltra@H_eroh_@Shotzzy It’s on Huke, he’s just in denial. Not saying they need to drop him obviously but to say Huke has played up to his standards this year would be lying.
Shoutout the fans that showed out this event yall are insane, Congrats to FaZe they showed out this event this team will bounce back see yall in the next one 💚
Gonna be lots of talk about finals format. I think it does need to go back to 2 Bo5, not only so WB team has an advantage but i think having the same amount of Hardpoints and Overloads in a Bo7 isn’t ideal.
Shotzzy's plays can be so good for the team but also so detrimental.
He's openly sliding into gunfights reloading, knife out, hip firing, cooking nades...
Idk man 😬
There is just no way the CDL continues the single best of 7 finals, pick ban advantages for the team that comes out of Winners. I understand it got here at one point or another, but surely this isn’t a stake in the ground. It’s completely disrespectful to the integrity of the CDL
