ACHES and Crimsix debate toxic fanbases in Call of Duty Call of Duty veteran pro players Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price and Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter locked horns on November 19, debating issues around the fanbase and how the community treats different teams. Both ACHES and Crimsix have spent the majority of their playing careers at the top level, even dominating together under the legendary CompLexity\/Evil Geniuses roster of Black Ops II and Ghosts. But, the pair have been on separate rosters in the years since \u2013 with a fierce rivalry brewing between them. As Crimsix made up one-fourth of the OpTic dynasty, ACHES stood in his way at many major events. Crimsix has now left OpTic, joining the Team Envy-owned Dallas Empire for the Call of Duty League. While ACHES captain\u2019s LA OpTic\u2019s rival, Los Angeles Guerillas. On November 19, Porter hit back at a fan who suggested that OpTic was responsible for his \u201cpersonality\u201d, arguing that the fan was display signs of cultish behavior. ACHES was quick to respond, saying he \u201clost full\u201d when seeing the post, arguing that Crimsix had never objected when the popularity of the organization \u201cworked in his favor\u201d. Everytime I see these tweets I lose full. You didn\u2019t mind this for 5 years when it worked in your favor. Don\u2019t bitch about it now. This has been a thing the whole time. \u2014 PATTYP (@ACHES) November 19, 2019 Although Crimsix did not respond to the LA Guerillas captain directly, he continued on the same train of thought, suggesting the CoD fanbase need to change. \u201cI\u2019m all for fans supporting whatever team you like,\u201d he began. \u201cBut just because you support one, that doesn\u2019t mean bash anyone\/everyone else. The COD community needs to change. Let\u2019s make the scene even better.\u201d When commenters highlighted the fierce rivalries that play out in traditional sports, Crimsix argued that esports \u201c[does] not have the same luxuries as traditional sports\u201d and so comparisons were \u201cnot fair.\u201d Esports, for the time being, do not have the same luxuries as traditional sports. I don\u2019t think comparisons between the two are fair. But that\u2019s just me. \ud83e\udd37\u2642\ufe0f \u2014 FaZe Crimsix (@Crimsix) November 19, 2019 Current OpTic player, Kenny \u2018Kenny\u2019 Williams, highlighted what he saw as a slight hypocrisy in Crim\u2019s point. Alluding to a series of YouTube titles from the player such as \u201cWHAT IS THIS FAKE OPTIC TEAM EVEN DOING?!?\u201d The two-time world champion simply joked that he was \u201ctrying to get views on his dead channel.\u201d Get those views lol I have no problem with your titles. Just Feel like this tweet would\u2019ve been more appropriate before the team swap. \u2014 \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddedOpTic Kenny (@Kuavo) November 19, 2019 Some fans argued a similar point to Kenny\u2019s \u2013 that Crimsix\u2019s recent uploads have been fuel to the fire on an already existing rivalry between him and his former teammates, namely Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell and Thomas \u2018TJHaLy\u2019 Haly. On the other hand, these types of rivalries have always existed and flourished in Call of Duty esports, and will likely be crucial to driving further fan engagement as the inaugural season of the Call of Duty League begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
