To many, ACHES is the ultimate villain to OpTic, regularly knocking the popular organization out of the yearly World Championship, as shown in 2015 as part of Cloud9 and again in 2018 as a member of Evil Geniuses. ACHES is four for four in matches against OpTic at World Championships. Despite their storied history, Price appeared on the March 12 edition of Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriquez\u2019s Eavesdrop Podcast, and gave fans of both himself and the legendary organization a snippet of some little-known trivia. During the podcast, Rodriquez discussed the break of the original Evil Geniuses Call of Duty roster featuring Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow, Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter and Tyler \u2018TeeP\u2019 Polchow, largely credited as being one of the greatest teams in Call of Duty history. All three of Price\u2019s teammates ended up representing OpTic, either on the organization\u2019s main roster or on OpTic Nation, however ACHES moved on to FaZe Clan. During that time though, Price revealed he was actually part of OpTic Gaming for an extremely brief moment after their contracts at EG were purchased by the organization. \u201cIt was supposed to be me, Crim, TeeP and FormaL on EG,\u201d ACHES said. \u201cIn the end, you guys purchased all the contracts, actually, which is something I don\u2019t think a lot of people know. You paid for all four of us, but obviously I got pushed out after that.\u201d Topic starts at 44:52 for mobile users. Of course, ACHES never made an appearance in the green of OpTic Gaming, and actually beat OpTic Gaming in the finals of the first Advanced Warfare tournament just a few months later. It seems unlikely that Price will ever find himself on OpTic, with Rodriquez stating that even though he\u2019s a great person and player, the rivalry is too important between the organization and ACHES, a sentiment the pro player agrees with.
