A Rough Start For OpTic Gaming


The month of January has been a rough month for OpTic Gaming at the start of the 2014 season. Will OpTic be able to keep a steady roster for CoD Champs? Well lets see here. At the beginning of the month of January OpTic had dropped Jordan "Jkap" Kaplan from the roster and picked up Ricky Stacy. He made a great addition to the team when going into their first event of the year UMG Philly. Going in looking strong at the event, OpTic took a hard loss to FaZe Clan and fell directly into the losers bracket. Then in the losers bracket they faced the defending champions compLexity and took a hard loss. Placing 9th in the tournament not many people were happy with another tournament loss. Sunday night it was confirmed that Seth "Scump" Abner had left the team and joined EnVyUs with Will "BigT" Johnson retiring and becoming the coach of OpTic. They needed two spots to replace. They then picked up Clayster and Parasite as their 3rd and 4th players but that didn't last long. After only a couple days of playing Ricky and Parasite both left OpTic to join up with Curse Las Vegas reuiniting themselves with Killa and Miraculouz. Now OpTic Gaming was looking once again for two new players to fill the 3rd and 4th spots on the OpTic roster. After a long search on who they should pick up, OpTic decided their roster for the 2014 season will consist of Nadeshot, MboZe, Saintsss, and Clayster with BigT as the coach. Now everyone is thinking will this roster last? Well there is no arguing between the teammates like there was with Parasite and Ricky on the team and their matches are going much more fluent with more scrimmages being won and a lot more chemistry being easily built between the players. But all of us as a community can only sit back and wait to see how well this team really is and how well they perform at CoD Champs in June!
