But a new leak has set the bar\u2026 as a barber leaked the rumored merger between the CDL\u2019s OpTic Gaming and Dallas Empire. Sports and esports have their similarities and their differences. One hotly contested similarity has been roster leaks, which are widely accepted in traditional sports but often questioned in esports. In the CoD scene, there have been a variety of roster leakers known to the community over the years. Most recently, Cory \u2018CRONE\u2019 Davis has become the source of team rumors \u2014 including the Paris Legion and unannounced Washington squads. But a new leaker seems to be making his presence accidentally felt. After giving Empire pro Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal a cut, the barber leaked that the pro\u2019s \u201cnew venture\u201d included OpTic and the Empire. Barber leaks OpTic Dallas CDL merger Not the rare barber leak \ud83d\ude2d OpTic Empire content must be on the way\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/yD8WyvtbX4 \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) October 27, 2021 As you can see in the embedded image, iLLeY\u2019s barber wanted to show off the fade he gave his client. Saying that he \u201ccleaned up my dawg [iLLeY] for his new venture,\u201d he then tagged both OpTic and Empire below. This echoes what has become the most widely known secret across the CoD community. The merger between former rival franchises was leaked back in August and pro players have even talked about the rumored roster. Instead of playing off the initial Instagram post as a joke, the barber actually deleted and re-uploaded it without any mention of \u201cnew venture\u201d or OpTic. But you know what they say, everything you post on the internet is permanent. So, that\u2019s where we\u2019re at. Neither of the franchises nor iLLeY have responded to the situation \u2014 but one has to imagine that official news of the rumored merger can\u2019t be too far away.
