I don't think that removing { } would optimize your code, it might make it 'look' better for some people however, I think it doesn't affect that much in performance. Moreover, some people find this a cause for confusion due to you can remove the { } once there's one operation/function whatever to be done. For instance,

pawn Code:

if(Carlos == "good") 
foreach(new i : Player)
{
      SendClientMessage(i, -1, "CARLOS IS GOOD!");
}

This is not a must!
