Dashy explains why having Crimsix on OpTic is so important MLGEveryone knows that Call of Duty veteran Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2018 Porter is an integral member of OpTic Gaming\u2018s pro team, and teammate Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell has outlined exactly why. OpTic Gaming have always been one of the more dominant forces in Call of Duty esports history, especially after star player Crimsix joined the team back in 2014. While he\u2019s always been surrounded by some of the best players in the game, many still attribute a large portion of OpTic\u2019s success to Crim\u2019s well-renowned work ethic and determination to win at all costs. Appearing on the July 15 episode of OpTic CEO Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez\u2019s The Eavesdrop Podcast, Dashy explained why his veteran teammate\u2019s presence is essential to the squad operating like a well-oiled machine. \u201cYou need an Ian on your team, in my opinion,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause all of us kind of joke around and slack and he\u2019s like \u2018dude, what the f*ck are we doing?!\u2019 If we didn\u2019t have that, we\u2019d obviously have days that we bullsh*t, and you kind of need him.\u201d Dashy went on to point out what he feels is the most impressive thing about Crimsix, who has accomplished a lot in the world of CoD esports. \u201cThe one thing that\u2019s really impressive about Ian is, like you said, he\u2019s got so many championships, and he\u2019s so motivated to win,\u201d he said. \u201cHow do you keep going? He\u2019s done everything you can do in CoD, and he\u2019s still going. It\u2019s really impressive.\u201d Crim, of course, has 33 championship victories at CoD tournaments, the most in the esport\u2019s history. His goal is to have the most tournament wins out of anyone in esports overall, a distinction that currently belongs to legendary Halo player Tom \u2018OGRE2\u2019 Ryan, who won 41 events during his career. You can watch the entire Episode 35 of H3CZ\u2019s podcast below, with the discussion about Crim starting at the 1:01:46 mark. OpTic face stiff challenge at CWL Finals OpTic\u2019s next appearance will come at the CWL Pro League Playoffs, which are being held at CWL Finals on July 19-21. Having placed first in Division A of the Pro League regular season, the Green Wall are one of the favorites at the tournament, and will face either Team Heretics or one of the two teams that make it out of the Play-In tournament. However, with the likes of eUnited (best record in Division B) and 100 Thieves (two-time champions this season) also in the Playoffs, it will not be an easy task for OpTic to end up crowned champions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
