Crimsix explains why losing OpTic brand in franchised CWL wouldn\u2019t matter OpTic Gaming star Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has confirmed he will compete in the upcoming franchised Call of Duty World League, with or without the OpTic brand. OpTic are currently competing at CWL Anaheim amid the controversy surrounding the successful takeover of parent company Infinite, by Immortals Gaming Club \u2013 which was made official on June 12. Reports had previously suggested that the new owners could scrap the Call of Duty team, but in a statement made after their purchase, Immortals confirmed they recognized the value of OpTic Gaming as a premier CoD brand and would be retained as a result. Nevertheless, Crimsix admitted that the nostalgic value of a team name\u2019s means very little to him, and confirmed he will compete in the upcoming franchised league regardless of the brand\u2019s involvement. \u201cPersonally, I\u2019ve never had that nostalgia factor \u2013 \u2018I only like a team because of their name and not because of their players\u2019\u201d he told Dexerto. \u201cFans out there want to see those players \u2013 they don\u2019t really care about the name.\u201d The 27-year-old played down the significance of the OpTic tag and said he hoped the GreenWall would support continue to support their current roster of players regardless of their location. \u201cWhether it\u2019s OpTic Gaming or not OpTic Gaming next year, I hope everyone follows us wherever we decide to go,\u201d Crimsix added. :goat: Will @Optic_Crimsix retire if he can’t wear @OpTicGaming colors next year? We asked him after their win against @TeamHeretics at #CWLAnaheim.

That\u2019s the goal I set out for myself after last year and I have every intention of completing it.\u201d Crimsix currently sits on 32 LAN championship wins (although he personally counts it as 33 \u2013 including the online Frag Cup in 2012) and will be hoping to add another when CWL Anaheim reaches its conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
