OpTic Texas have undergone several roster changes since before the Modern Warfare 2 season started, with both iLLeY and Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell being dropped multiple times. That, coupled with Scump\u2019s retirement, means there\u2019s been a lack of consistency in the Dallas-based team. At Major 3, though, OpTic were expected to come in and do some damage, especially in front of their home crowd and not long after beating Atlanta FaZe in their online qualifier matches. With newly added rookie Dan \u2018Ghosty\u2019 Rothe taking iLLeY\u2019s place, OpTic have found another vocal player who can be the in-game leader the team needs, but the jury is still out on whether this was a good move for the team long-term. Obviously, with OpTic being the biggest team in the Call of Duty League, they\u2019re always expected to make deep runs into tournaments, but that got much harder on March 9 when they lost their opening Major 3 match to Boston Breach. Social media blew up, with some fans demanding change and calling for iLLeY to be reinstated. And after almost a month without any tweets, the 2020 world champion broke his silence in the wake of OpTic\u2019s loss. He posted a one-word cryptic tweet that has got the whole community talking: \u201cYo.\u201d Even Scump commented on the tweet, saying that \u201cInder\u2019s going crazy,\u201d while former head coach Ray \u2018Rambo\u2019 Lussier said it\u2019s \u201ckind of petty.\u201d Once the Major is out of the way, we might yet see iLLeY return to the starting roster or even be bought out by another team looking to turn their season around. For now, though, while the tweet doesn\u2019t say much, some fans think it actually means a lot more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iLLeY breaks silence with cryptic tweet after OpTic Texas demolished at CDL Major 3 Call of Duty LeagueOpTic Texas Call of Duty League substitute Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal, who was dropped from the starting roster in early February, finally broke his silence online shortly after OpTic suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at their home LAN event, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27782\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
