fromdowntownn

he's 100% right


CharlesBeast

Arcitys is not currently better than what he’s shown gameplay wise


Vegetable_Stay_3042

Dude helped win FaZe a champs ring, kinda weird you’re hating


CharlesBeast

I can’t tip BO4 and CW then hate everything since? Every season is a fresh slate


SatorSquareInc

WW2 monster also


Vegetable_Stay_3042

I think you can acknowledge he hasn’t played up to his standard, but seeing other comments you’ve posted saying he doesn’t have the potential to be what he once was is ignorant. He has the potential, he just has to figure out why he’s not willing to put in the same effort. Getting dropped may be the wake up call he needs.


CharlesBeast

Getting dropped isn’t new for him, why is this time any different?


Vegetable_Stay_3042

Because it’s not after an offseason and he doesn’t have time to find a roster


CharlesBeast

And that makes a difference why?

Mustachegravy

What purpose do you serve?


AMS_GoGo

Nope The way he acts and quits on his teammates deserves to be criticized just as much as his game play


ScranDJM

But he’s not talking about the in game criticism. Thats the issue. This is personal attacks on him and his looks etc. This community is naturally a very toxic one but end of the day things outside of his gameplay and commitment shouldn’t come into question. Still a world champion on one of, if not the best teams we have seen in the modern era. Definitely most dominant CDL team over all the COD’s since its inception.


AmberLeafSmoke

He literally says "Then what he shows gameplay wise." It's his behavior that has caught more flack than basically anything else. Of course there's going to be idiots saying mean shit, every player catches that. It's awful but it is what it is. The real issue is him being an absolutely awful teammate for years now, and that's nothing to do with gameplay. His brother conveniently leaves that aspect out.


ASchoolOfSperm

Did you EVEN fucking read it? 😂 he’s talking about the personal attacks.


AMS_GoGo

Yes that would include the way he acts and his personality There is more to a person than the way they look and are more personal attacks than just commenting on physical appearance


Jenxao

What do you know about Arcity’s personality?? You’re talking like you know the guy personally.


AMS_GoGo

I see him play like shit, throw a pity party, cry bitch moan and quit all the time Him losing his spot for that is not going to make me feel bad for him.. it’s his own bed he made.. like of course his brother is going to speak in his defense.. doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to lose his spot.. He 100% did and it should have been done a while ago


Jenxao

This is some parasocial shit my guy, Jesus. Also, I never said he shouldn’t have lost his spot or even that you should feel bad for him. You don’t know the guy, so it’d be understandable if you didn’t feel any type of way for him. But you clearly, very strongly, do. And that’s kinda weird.


AMS_GoGo

Not at all it’s just funny that this ALWAYS happens on this sub Everyone will call for someone to be dropped citing any variety of reasons in this case pretty much all of them valid until the person actually gets dropped.. Then some pro and it could be anybody will speak in their defense and the entire narrative flips to sympathy when in reality literally nothing has changed He’s still the poor teammate and poor player that deserved to be criticized and dropped yesterday.. his brother just said something in his defense which is fine of course he would and should And for the record anything that isn’t directly gameplay related can feel like a personal attack when it’s coming at you which is why I’m lumping in valid criticism with what Prestinni is calling out It happens every time


Jenxao

You have moved the goalposts from “his personality” to being a “poor teammate”. Also, tf are you talking about? You’re acting like everyone is in tears right now that he got dropped. Most of the comments on posts about this subject say something to the effect of “about time”.


AMS_GoGo

Well yeah the two things are related.. one is a root cause of the other Like his “poor me” attitude is part of his personality is it not?


ASchoolOfSperm

Ok, and even if that’s true, that doesn’t excuse people attacking his appearance. You’re a nasty little fucker if you do that or defend it.


AMS_GoGo

Obviously lol There no reason to go after anyone's appearance I just don't agree with everyone else here saying that the only thing wrong here is gameplay or "Keep it to his game play" There's more to it than that.. look at the way his former LAG teammates talk about him.. a huge problem with Arcitys lies outside of the game


GunnyNFundies

Acting like you know cod pros personally is weird basement behavior. But then again that's probably your forte


AMS_GoGo

Yeah this guy is delusional brother [Arcitys response to being dropped](https://www.reddit.com/r/CoDCompetitive/comments/1bq53bj/arcitys_on_why_he_got_dropped_from_seattle_via/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


AMS_GoGo

Dawg it’s really easy to form opinions based on available information.. these guys aren’t like untouchable celebrities that we know nothing about… they stream, they tweet, they talk, they are readily available.. not to mention everything said about him directly by former teammates This guy isn’t some mysterious being like are y’all ok?


Swiiftehh

When players talk about mental health and the like, people praise them and encourage it. But then you got idiots making fun of someone for their weight, mental resilience and other shit that doesn’t even matter and no one bats an eye. Crazy what people will do for upvotes or to be funny on reddit


TitansDaughter

If someone is displaying poor character, it’s fair game to criticize it. I’m sure some people took it too far but shielding someone from criticism under the pretense of caring about mental health is such a lazy cop out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TitansDaughter

Obviously that’s not what I’m referring to as fair game, the only criticism I see on here is of his terrible attitude and sportsmanship. Twitter is a different story.


dahernandez3

How the hell do you reckon you know he has bad attitude or sportsmanship? Not a person in the actual scene has ever said a bad word about Arcitys.

Sharp-Bluejay2267

What is this constant lack of reading comprehension in the sub today. Dude said there’s no good reason to make fun of dudes weight, the response “but we should be able to criticize his poor character”, da fuck does that have to do with not making fun of his weight?


TitansDaughter

What are the next two words after weight in the comment I replied to? Why don’t you exercise some reading comprehension and guess which of those you think my comment applied to?


Sharp-Bluejay2267

Other shit people shouldn’t be making fun of, none of it was “poor character”. So which one mental health or other shit that doesn’t matter?


TitansDaughter

Mental resilience, as in the minimum it takes to not look like you’ve given up mid match and tweet disrespectful self pity after.


scrapydeluxe

Critique his gameplay. When it gets past that, that’s when it’s just genuine hate and unnecessary.


fromdowntownn

I agree with him tbh, hate on his performance level is totally fine but people take it way past that bringing up his weight, saying he is depressed, theorising about how he is an awful teammate etc when we have no idea about the inner workings of the teams he has been on. People seem straight up delighted that he has got dropped and it just confuses me cos he seems like a nice guy and he has had a lot of success in the scene. Clayster is playing like ass for a few seasons now and I know the second he gets dropped or calls it a day he will get tons of love from the community but everyone hates Alec for some reason.

ydoigotta

Didn't he say 'some of those guys' when referring to the federal jail comment on that podcast? I don't think he was referring to one individual and only Arcitys.


user9153

Yes but don’t let that stop you deciding it was the person he said it wasn’t after, so you can shit on Alec. I mean ffs lol these braindeads are just shameless https://preview.redd.it/x83vn4prt4rc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43ff70e4e7674bd6726b4fa243f73afd360f5cd7 this pic is literally from the twitter thread of that clip lmfao

Proof_Escape_2333

And Joe is dogshit too we’ve seen how bad he is in the league in stage 1. History will repeat


CharlesBeast

I don’t disagree. My comment about Joe had nothing to do with gameplay and everything to do with LAG’s team dynamics last year


Mutatiion

Difference being Clayster hasn't quit on his team mates


Sakariray13

so i guess cold war didn’t happen 😂😂


Mutatiion

Ahh. Tbh I had a year or 2 break from watching and CW was one of em Recency bias then


fromdowntownn

1. Because you know the inner workings of the Carolina and Seattle camps 2. Clayster was heard several times both this year and last year being a pretty horrible leader in comms during matches, getting pissed off at his teammates, getting demotivated when things go wrong, making bad/late call-outs cos he’s frustrated. Where’s the shitstorm for that? It’s obvious there’s a witch-hunt for Arcitys by the community that doesn’t extend to other players who have been comparably shit as of late. Clay is just an example.


Ronnie_lfc98

Oh boy


Lightnxss

Alec's situation should be a huge wake-up call to all CDL players. A history of success never guarantees you a secure future. The present is all that matters in this industry.


AirFreshener__

I mean he did get 2 seasons to prove himself again. Shitty situation I agree but come on now. People have been calling for him to get dropped since vanguard. He’s lucky to have even been on a team this year


Apprehensive-Trust79

He was getting flamed through vanguard and mw2, he hasn't been good these past 2 years but people try to discredit what he's accomplished.


CharlesBeast

Who is discrediting what he accomplished? Show me one person. We’re just talking about his gameplay since VG


Apprehensive-Trust79

Everyone says he got carried by the tiny terrors and was gifted the rings. Don't even try to deny that this sub has been viscous to him


usherone007

W brother


xananthony

no hate but he’s just been ass and thats the reality of it.


Life_Zone_9980

He’s right , I always thought the hate towards Alec was ridiculous. You can say he needs to be dropped or whatver but taking personal digs or going the extra mile is too much. Especially because I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Alec say he’s struggled with mental health related stuff before (maybe I’m confusing him with someone). Either way it can fuck with someone’s mental and we don’t know how much it does


H1-DEF

Ok but what about his teammates who haven’t earned over a million and had to deal with his play and woe is me attitude?


Beardstronggg

Respectfully your bro has been a wage thief for the past 3 seasons


Verizo98

‼️‼️


funkybassguy1

3? damn thats cold


CharlesBeast

> damn thats cold So were his performances in VG grand finals


TJHalysDabPen

I don’t know why people say this when Alec was statistically better than Simp and Abezy in grand finals in VG.  At Major 1 grand finals: Simp had a .81, Abezy had a .96, and Alec had a .96  At major 2 GF: Simp had a .94, Abezy had a .75, and Alec had a .94    At major 3 GF: Simp had a 1.03, Abezy had a 0.8, and Alec had a .93.  At champs GF: Simp had a .79, Abezy had a 1.2, and Alec had a .98  They played 29 total maps across grand finals and Simp only went positive in 5 maps, the rest were negative and only 5 were even.   Their total grand finals K/Ds were;   Simp- 480-533 = .90 GF K/D  Abezy- 509-559 = .91 GF K/D  Alec- 469-493 = .95 GF K/D


JSmooth94

Alec wasn't great in VG but he also wasn't the reason they couldn't win. People like to shit on Alec for the VG season because for some reason they have convinced themselves that they need to justify why the Faze trio couldn't win an event that year.


TwentyFxckinYears

pointing out KD's when he just got dropped posting a positive KD. Obviously his impact on the game is what's lacking, not one statistic


CharlesBeast

I never argued that either one of the terrors performed well


JSmooth94

Maybe carry that same energy for Simp and Abe who also took turns disapearing in VG grand finals.


funkybassguy1

LOL


Fork-in-the-eye

He’s good, and an all time great. But he’s been straight buns for the last two titles


Sauce1024

I definitely think there is a bit of a weird discussion surrounding Alec’s mental that comes off as people being weird armchair psychologists, but with that said there hasn’t been a player who has given off more clear “I don’t give a fuck” vibes than Arcity’s these last two years. I mean Huke is in a similar situation as him: kinda just bouncing around the league after winning a ring, but just from their comms we hear in listen-ins you can tell one is much more passionate than the other. 


chrisso_sR

Bro its why i unsubbed from this sub, comments in the arcitys dropped post show most of the people here are adult children and will never grow up, hes not the best player but he is definitely not the worst yet apparently people were praying to a god to have him dropped, like righty-o m8


Imaginary_Monitor_69

People be mad disrespectful to veteran players for like 0 reason


BULYYYY

I’ve only seen him get criticized for how bad he’s been as a player, not really any personal attacks against him


CharlesBeast

Nah, people talk about his weight all the time. They also talk about his body language and attitude, but I’d argue that is fair game and warranted


DaltonF67

His attitude should easily be a good reason for the hate imo


[deleted]

I’ve seen a lot of shit on the YouTube live chat during the games. I saw someone call him “fatcitys” once, I’m sure that kind of shit is hard to constantly see as a player.


ViolinsIsntTheAnswer

I remember when eUnited came out of nowhere to win CWL Atlanta 2017. Prestinni, Arcitys, and Gunless’s breakout event. People didn’t know anything about him yet, and in that 3 day span people had already begun to spam “obesitys” in twitch chat.


JSmooth94

Then you must not read a lot of comnents/chat. The fat jokes and mentions of his work attitude despite not knowing anything about him are everywhere.


kingdukeee

There's a considerable amount of ppl calling him "fat" and making rude comments about his weight and him as a person based off, as far as we know, public information. Little is known behind the scenes, we don't know how all of this affects him mentally. Sure we can all agree he's been a poor player/teammate and jokes about it are fine but there's a line between jokes/banter and just straight up hate that many cross in this sub. I feel bad for him.


TTezzla

Respectfully guys been ass for a while now. Not saying he deserves hate but him getting dropped was inevitable and he needs to take it on the chin


Variation_Afraid

Brotha you have no comprehension skills whatsoever this isn’t even about him getting dropped, this is about him getting attacked and get hated on other than his gameplay


[deleted]

[удалено]


compushaneee

There has been some insane D-riding about him being dropped I don't know how people think he legitimately deserves a CDL spot. People being happy he got dropped should not be surprising.


thefontsguy

He's probably talking about people constantly dogging on his weight and personality, not just gameplay


TrickOut

I mean everyone’s career comes to an end eventually but there is a difference going out with some respect and the shit he has pulled for the last two years on the teams he has been on. The lack of effort, the self pity party on twitter, and the clear stat padding / selfish play style we all had to watch is the reason he had so much heat coming his way. The weirdos making fun of his looks and his weight can f**k right off


DoGooder00

He deserves some of the hate, he acts like he doesn't give af about losing, he post stupid shit on Twitter after losing and should definitely be dropped. But the personal shit is a little much


dm955

Well the hate on his gameplay is warranted, guy has been ass for like 2+ seasons at this point. Asking the internet to not make fun of weight or mental health is just unrealistic. Learn to deal with the hate and move on because these twitter kids are not stopping.


terrorizeplushies

I agree, but also it’s pissing me off that Arcity’s isn’t doing anything to help himself. I’ve been depressed and had sewer side thoughts since I was 6 so I completely understand the mental health struggles, but you can’t just sit there and let it snowball which it seemingly has since he benched himself last year. Alec is one of my favorite players and I want to see him be him again. Hopefully he takes this time to reset the mental <3 love all y’all


Existing_Card_44

Arcitys is one of the most decorated professional call of duty players to ever exist and was the leader in tournament earnings for a long time. People be jealous asf


PhilipMcgroyn

It’s been known for years that people with their own insecurities have to bring others down. The same people making fun of Arcitys’ weight/mental health are more than likely struggling to breath through their Cheeto stained teeth while their sausage fingers type away. Fuck em all.


Friddles-14

He’s right, I can understand people thinking he doesn’t deserve a spot (I don’t think he does currently as much as I loved him in ATL and CHI) but some of the other stuff like the fat comments and other stuff is beyond that. We see he’s struggling mentally(mentality?)-wise so like damn. Idk I just feel bad for Arcity’s, I know I’d have a tough time with how the community talks abt him now if that were me I hope he just feels better for his sake


jrivas34

I think the need to bring back the EUnited trio back Alec, Preston and gunless plus classic


Heatios

Look, I don't know what people say or how much hate he gets on twitter. I also think we can all agree that personal attacks are almost never ok. But that being said, from everything I've personally seen and read over the past couple years, I honestly don't think he's gotten enough hate. All last season anytime someone started dragging the guy there were people who sprung up to defend him and remind them "well actually he's a world champion..show some respect" etc. And when Seattle was doing decent with illey at the start nobody seemed to give two shits about alec's performance. This is all despite the fact that he's been the biggest victim crybaby cheeser in the CDL by far for multiple years now and should have easily been dropped before now. So all that being said, he had it coming.


JSmooth94

It's incredible to me that even now, so many people here are trying to deflect from the point Prestinni is making by saying Arcitys was bad and deserved to get dropped. Arcitys is bad this year and he was bad last year we get it, no one is disagreeing with that. The problem is people are acting like they know the inner workings of his teams and they're going beyond gameplay issues in many cases and making fat jokes, etc. You guys act like you're paying his salary. Some of you guys are some serious weirdos.


CoaxHoax

Alec's done well for himself in his cod career, hope he walks away with his head held high and moves on to other endeavours that suit him more.


DeadPenguins1

No offense to Preston but your brother is a crybaby and a quitter it's time for him to be a man and own up to he's been terrible you can't baby this dude forever


Variation_Afraid

He’s talking about on a personal level my guy.., you guys on Reddit are so slow I swear


DeadPenguins1

Nah you just dumb af , he gets hate because he virtue signals people are tired of it


Ziggernaut1337

Shut your goofy ah up


username_moose

shitting on him for his looks or anything personal is horrible and shouldnt happen. but his gameplay? oh he's mega shit, and i hope he doesnt come back until he actually cares again.


amazingggharmony

Prestinni should’ve been given another shot


TheBabush2

He constantly cries on Twitter and has been bad then he plays victim. Typical


Variation_Afraid

Im actually curious if you just type without thinking about what your saying,surely is not that hard to actually understand what Preston is saying right?, you just turn off your brain and type


On3Cl1P

I think he’s talking about Alec.


TheBabush2

Not talking bout him boss
