FormaL and Karma are best known as two integral cogs of the OpTic Gaming dynasty; the CoD team that dominated the competitive scene from the middle of the Advanced Warfare season, when Karma was bumped up from OpTic Nation, replacing Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag. From that point on, the OpTic roster consisting of FormaL, Karma, Crimsix and Scump, won numerous tournaments over a dominant three year stint. They finally cemented their place as the winningest CoD roster of all time after they won the Call of Duty World Championship in 2017, during Infinite Warfare. Despite not teaming together in over a year, the once unstoppable duo shared a nostalgic moment as they, once again, dominated a number of pros while playing Black Ops 4 on June 1. The two were playing on the same team on Seaside Hardpoint, when Karma and FormaL quickly combined for five kills \u2013 entirely wiping the enemy team, and protecting the fountain hardpoint spawn. \u201cGood fucking hold, me and Damon, let\u2019s go!\u201d said FormaL. The clutch caused one of FormaL\u2019s party to say he got \u201cnostalgia\u201d watching that, to which FormaL joked, \u201cI know dude, holy shit. Please team with me.\u201d Both players left OpTic during the turbulent WW2 season, with FormaL being traded to Luminosity Gaming for Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew, while Karma was benched as Anthony \u2018MethodZ\u2019 Zinni joined OpTic. Karma returned to OpTic for Black Ops 4, and has found moderate success since, as they took home the 2019 CWL Las Vegas Open. FormaL still plays for Luminosity, the team which won the CWL Fort Worth Open 2019, but have struggled since then \u2013 placing 7-8 at CWL London and finishing Stage 1 Playoffs with a 5-13 record, causing them to finish dead last in Division A. The struggles they have endured saw them replace Pierce \u2018Gunless\u2019 Hillman with coach Richard \u2018Ricky\u2019 Stacy, and this is probably the basis for FormaL\u2019s joke, as him and Karma show their incredible talent once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FormaL and Karma joke about OpTic reunion after they dominate Black Ops 4 match Rico MejiaMatthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper and Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow shared a nostalgic joke about teaming together, as they dominated together in a practice match on Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
