Enable argues why OpTic Chicago are the best they\u2019ve been in CDL 2021 Dexerto \/ Call of Duty League After a middling Stage 3 in the Call of Duty League, OpTic Chicago showed real promise during the Stage 3 Major. The Reverse Sweep crew took note, with Enable arguing that this is the best OpTic has looked in 2021. In Stage 3, OpTic went 2-3 with their only two wins coming against the bottom-dwelling Seattle Surge and London Royal Ravens. Then, in the Stage 3 Major, the team made a serious Losers Bracket run \u2014 winning three straight before falling to the Toronto Ultra in Map 5 of Losers Round 4. While Chicago fell short, Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt took some time to posit that they\u2019re making real progress and are playing better than they ever have in Black Ops Cold War. During the Reverse Sweep, Enable analyzed OpTic\u2019s new form alongside Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker and Katie Bedford. Most agree that the CDL\u2019s top three teams right now are the Atlanta FaZe, New York Subliners, and Toronto Ultra. The question remains: Is OpTic fourth? And, more importantly, are they on the precipice of breaking into the upper echelon? Although Enable grounds his analysis by affirming that OpTic is likely the fourth- or fifth-best team right now, he believes they\u2019re on the right trajectory: \u201cThis was probably their best Call of Duty they\u2019ve played as a team so far in Cold War.\u201d Pacman joined in, explaining how the Stage 3 performance showed a new level of prowess from the Green Wall: \u201cThis weekend they had a lot of teamwork, they showed a lot of teamwork. They weren\u2019t over-challing, they were pushing together, so it made them look phenomenal.\u201d Both analysts were encouraged by OpTic\u2019s form, but remained cautious. Sweeping Dallas was nice, but it took a 2.15 K\/D from Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell. Going five maps against Toronto was even better, but it took a 1.24 K\/D from the flex AR. Enable and Pacman note that the team needs to find ways to compete without relying on such big performances from Dashy. Even if this is the best OpTic has looked all season, that still wasn\u2019t enough to win a Major and progress still needs to be made. As Pacman cautioned, \u201cI\u2019ve seen them do this before, where they hit this form where they look really good \u2026 but then it just disappears.\u201d Touching on those consistency issues, Enable asserts that all OpTic can do is try and grow on their production instead of slipping back into mediocrity: \u201cThey\u2019re so talented, you\u2019ve just got to kind of put it together. And it seems like they\u2019re maybe starting to, maybe they\u2019re on the right track now.\u201d OpTic will start their own Stage 4 Home Series off against the Minnesota ROKKR on May 28 before facing a taller test against the Atlanta FaZe on May 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
