ACHES slams \u201cfake\u201d OpTic CoD franchise in heated argument with SlasheR Veterans of competitive Call of Duty have sparked a fiery argument online as members of the Los Angeles Guerillas and OpTic LA franchise rosters have traded blows. The first official Call of Duty League event isn\u2019t set to kick off until January 24 in 2020 when the Minnesota R\u00f8kkr host the very first matches, yet franchise rivalries are already taking form thanks to some heated online trash-talk. Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price and Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat have fired shots at one another online, and seemingly kickstarted a rivalry between the two LA-based franchise teams that they represent \u2013 the Los Angeles Guerillas and OpTic Gaming Los Angeles respectively. In a November 3 post, ACHES wished to welcome Andres Lacefield to the Guerillas roster, stating that he\u2019s \u201csuper excited to be teaming with Lace again!\u201d The pair haven\u2019t teamed together since their tenure under Cloud9 that came to an end early in 2017. \u201cGreat addition to round out the LA B team,\u201d SlasheR responded to agitate the two-time World Champion, implying that the OpTic lineup is much more impressive on paper. Great addition to round out the LA B team congrats Pat! \u2014 Austin Liddicoat (@SlasheR_AL) November 4, 2019 \u201cListen bro at least all of my teammates want to be on my team, not a part of the fake OpTic\u201d ACHES responded. \u201cSee you in a few months. If y\u2019all make it that long of course.\u201d Hinting at a litany of issues that have surrounded the OpTic organization of late, ACHES returned fire by bringing up the sale of OpTic parent company Infinite Esports & Entertainment to Immortals Gaming Club. Additionally, the comment hits on behind the scenes drama surrounding Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell, which saw the star player threatening to bench himself if he wasn\u2019t released from the LA team. ACHES seemed to suggest the same could play out again in the new LA team, before the first bullet had even been fired in the CDL. Listen bro at least all of my teammates want to be on my team, not a part of the fake Optic. See you in a few months. If y\u2019all make it that long of course. #HoodsUp \u2014 LA \u2013 PATTYP (@ACHES) November 4, 2019 Adding even more fuel to the fire, SlasheR responded in kind, arguing that ACHES \u201cdidn\u2019t even want to be on [his] own team\u201d according to texts between the two on September 4. \u201cSeptember 4th?!? Was that before Free Agency even begun? Make sure you\u2019ve settled everything at home before you talk about some LA rivalry,\u201d ACHES concluded, responding with a GIF that doubled down on rumors of Dashy wanting to part ways with OpTic LA to join Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez and the powerhouse roster under the Chiacgo Huntsmen brand. September 4th?!? Was that before Free Agency even begun? I\u2019d hate to live in the past like that Austin. But like I said, make sure you\u2019ve settled everything at home before you talk about some LA rivalry. pic.twitter.com\/XmkI6WEfjl \u2014 LA \u2013 PATTYP (@ACHES) November 4, 2019 The OpTic roster features a mix of youngblood and veteran talent as the duo of Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell and Thomas \u2018TJHaLy\u2019 Haly join forces with back to back World Champion Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan, 2018 rookie of the year Kenny Williams and former 100 Thieves teammate SlasheR. Meanwhile, the LA Guerillas lineup brings together a wealth of competitive Call of Duty experience with Renato \u2018Saints\u2019 Forza and former Splyce player Ulysses \u2018AquA\u2019 Silva, alongside ACHES and the newly announced Lacefield. Which of these two rosters will come out ahead as the league kicks off, remains to be seen. One thing can be certain though, the battle for LA supremacy will always be an enthralling matchup, especially with this bitterness adding fuel to emerging storylines.
