Often referred to as a dynasty, the quartet of Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner, Mathew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper, Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter, and Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow have won numerous championships across the Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, and Infinite Warfare titles, including the coveted CWL Championship in 2017. Unfortunately, the current CWL season for CoD: WWII has not been so kind to OpTic as it has been mired with underachievement and internal struggles when held up to the team\u2019s lofty standards. Their recent top-16 finish at CWL Seattle, which is their worst placement since the roster was formed, has led to massive rumors that roster changes are coming before the May 7th roster lock. There is heavy talk around the community that at least one and potentially all four members of the team are set to leave, which would result in the most publicized roster change(s) in CoD RosterMania history. With OpTic having, by far, the biggest fan-base in CoD esports, such a change would also send a shockwave that would likely inspire heavy reactions and feedback. Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow is one of the players that has been heavily linked to be leaving OpTic A video has been posted on the YouTube channel \u2018Semtexable\u2019 that pays tribute to the OpTic CoD dynasty in anticipation of the roster\u2019s breakup. The video, which starts off with OpTic losing to Luminosity in the CWL Seattle Loser\u2019s Bracket, also includes some of the best moments the roster has experienced, including scenes from their run to their first ever CWL Championship in 2017. If anyone is not yet saddened by the prospect of the team potentially splitting up, they most likely will after watching this tribute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If You Aren\u2019t Sad About OpTic CoD Potentially Splitting Up, Then Just Watch This Since coming together in 2015, OpTic Gaming\u2019s Call of Duty roster has established itself to be the greatest in the history of the esport.
