Welcome to episode #209 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!

In this episode, we cover some big news that came as a shock to some, and was expected by others. Pred was officially announced back onto the starting roster for OpTic, and Huke has been let go as a free agent. The debate lies in if this is the correct move for OpTic. After a lackluster Major 1 performance, they need to bounce back in this second split, and with Pred’s time off and potentially higher ceiling as a player, speculation has risen if he will be the piece that makes OpTic compete against FaZe and Thieves. With Huke being a free agent, questions have risen as to where he will go, and who’s spot he will be taking, as we discuss the lack of changes within the bottom teams despite poor Major 1 performances. Finally, we close on the PSN shutdown, and the bigger discussion of how this issue is one of the biggest cons to gaming on a console, and the reliance on online servers to play even single player games.

What was your reaction to the Pred news? After this weekend's matches in major 2, what did you think of his performance overall? Are there some growing pains as a team they need to overcome, or is there a bigger issue that needs to be resolved? What are your thoughts on online servers for single player games? Should some things be left off the cloud, or is it just not possible in today’s climate of gaming? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.
