BigTymeR explains OpTic departure in emotional video BigTymeR YouTube \/ MachinimaCall of Duty since 2014, long-time fans will remember his dominant playing career with OpTic that earned him nine championships in five years. At one time his accomplishments made him the highest-earning Call of Duty player with over $400,000 in winnings. Since his playing career, BigTymeR has essentially led the spirit of the OpTic brand with YouTube videos and content creation of all kinds. But changes in OpTic has signaled that it\u2019s time to move on from the Greenwall. His September 8 announcement looked back at some of the best moments in his OpTic career both as a player and content specialist, while delivering a heartfelt goodbye to the brand. \u201cOfficially as of September 1st, I am no longer a part of OpTic Gaming,\u201d BigTymeR said after noting special projects in the works as the reason for his small YouTube hiatus. \u201cI think most people have come to that conclusion.\u201d Although it seems like he\u2019s in good spirits, the former OpTic member noted the tragic irony of him announcing the news in the Texas city. \u201cWhat do I say?\u201d BigTymeR said. \u201cI\u2019m here in Dallas. It\u2019s funny because Dallas was the place that (Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez, Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag, Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner, Joe \u2018MerK\u2019 Deluca) and I all decided to do the original OpTic house and move to Chicago. \u201d The setting for a decision that eventually exploded the Greenwall into prominence \u201cwas the final resting place for OpTic Gaming,\u201d according to BigTymeR. (Timestamp at 3:16 for mobile viewers) While BigTymeR believes that the new management taking over OpTic \u201cseem to be pretty capable\u201d and that the name \u201cis in good hands,\u201d he noted what every fan has been feeling: that it\u2019s just going to be different. There has been a massive exodus of world-class players and talented content creators from the Greenwall ever since the Immortals Gaming Club acquired OpTic-parent company Infinite Esports in June 2019. Notable members like Marcus \u2018MBoZe\u2019 Blanks and Davis \u2018Hitch\u2019 Edwards have similarly left the org, as massive restructuring was imminent after IGC\u2019s purchase. It wasn\u2019t all bad news for BigTymeR fans however, as he reassured his following that he\u2019ll be ramping up the content again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
