Honestly, Gentlemates could maybe just force Neptune into the starting Lineup with Joe as his sub duo. Who really cares what Ghosty and Sib have to say about it they might not be on the team next year anyway (although they would be hard to replace). Joe is getting the same T3/T4 placings on Gentlemates that he got with Jamie Insight and an org that don't care to invest and win.

Which teams are in the toughest groups?

C9 looking to replace Hide and Ravens looking to replace Fire. Both teams looking at multiple players alongside Gwinn.

I just saw this post stating that the timespan of BO2 - MW19 is shorter than MW19 - MW4.

What do you think the next season will bring? Will the scene continue to grow?

I started watching with BO6/BO7 through the Optic watch party and the general vibe in the watch party is very negative regarding the MW4 season. But as someone that just watched his first year of comp CoD I am hungry for more and am very interested in the next season.

Although I never watched MW19 or MW22 which were apparently really bad, i had fun playing SnD in those games which is why I am also excited for MW4.

I started playing CoD with og MW3 and always knew there was competitive CoD but I was never invested enough to watch the main stream. But through the watch party I learned so much about the scene, the players and the teams as they always threw in some side information and because sometimes they would explain plays or why something was good or bad.

The whole scene is like a soap opera or a sitcom for me. Always drama, its never boring and there is always someone to root for. I mean the whole C9 drama in the beginning was so interesting to watch, when they beat Gentlemates directly after Major 1, it was insane.
Was it always like this?

This made me invested enough to watch every game this season and it made me interested watching past seasons for which I created a Post yesterday.

After the meme that season 4 was where freaking Hecz reached Crimson while divebombing at his enemies, and former hardstuck Plat 3s reached iridescent, things are looking actually hard again. Bonuses will be way less frequent and crimson loses will hurt. What do you think of the changes, good/bad?
