The three time world champion took to Twitter during the 2018 CWL Championship grand final to say \u201csitting here WATCHING game 5 of the COD Champs finals. My dms are open btw\u201d. Naturally this statement drew a lot of attention as Karma has been inactive since being dropped by OpTic Gaming in May.

Although a return to OpTic Gaming would make a lot of fans very happy, another potential destination that has got people excited is 100 Thieves \u2013 the organization owned by former OpTic star Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag. Nadeshot has stated on a number of occasions that 100 Thieves will be entering the competitive CoD scene for Black Ops 4 (which is due to be released on October 12) and has also expressed interest in OpTic players past and present. Wherever Karma ends up, expect to see him with a controller in his hand at the next Call of Duty event, not behind the analysis desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karma Makes It Clear That He Won\u2019t Be Returning to OpTic Gaming @Nimble_CODIt looks like Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow fans that are hoping to see him wear an OpTic Gaming jersey again in Black Ops 4 will be left disappointed.
