Karma eyeing possible future as OpTic Texas CDL coach: \u201cI could point things out\u201d OpTic GamingCall of Duty legend and three-time world champion Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow was once a superstar for the Green Wall as a player, but now he\u2019s campaigning to coach OpTic\u2019s CDL roster as they finish the Modern Warfare 2 season. Karma is known for being one of the smartest and most versatile players in the history of Call of Duty. He was once a standout for OpTic Gaming before parting with the team in the pre-Modern Warfare 2019 offseason. While he went his separate way from the organization for a while prior to Modern Warfare 2019, he joined back up shortly after his retirement that season. Now with OpTic Texas fielding a group of young talent that\u2019s breaking through at the right time, he hasn\u2019t been shy about his desire to rejoin the squad and help them hone their game to end the year. Karma offers to coach OpTic Texas following Major 3 In an exclusive interview with Dexerto, Barlow explained exactly what it is he thinks he could bring to this squad. \u201cI think they are doing fine,\u201d he admitted. \u201cBut maybe as like another set of eyes saying \u2018maybe we could do this or do that.\u2019 For someone like me, I feel like I could potentially point things out. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t go in with a mindset of \u2018hey you have to do this\u2019, I would take it from an outsider\u2019s perspective of like what can I help with?\u201d He also explained that he\u2019s not sure how much impact he could have on the squad, but from spending more time watching the game as a member of Scump\u2019s watch party entourage, he\u2019s picked up on some things that the players might not be seeing. \u201cWould it affect anything? I truly don\u2019t know, because at the end of the day \u2013 I think Ray knows a lot and I also think a lot of things that were happening in their games. Those things came down to the players\u2019 decision-making.\u201d When asked about whether the players would be open to his mentoring, he was confident that the team\u2019s star AR player would love to have him on board again. \u201cThat\u2019s the biggest thing. I know Brandon definitely would and I honestly think they all would. Not even being egotistical, but I just feel like everyone gives me that respect.\u201d Karma also said that conversations about it could start after the conclusion of Major 3. Despite a monumental lower bracket run all the way through to the grand finals, the team ultimately finished second to Toronto Ultra.
