Karma reveals OpTic Chicago\u2019s biggest problem in the CDL YouTube: OpTic ChicagoOpTic Chicago achieved a top-four placement at the CDL Stage 4 Major, eliminated from the tournament after two losses to Dallas Empire. Call of Duty legend and OpTic dynasty member Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow believes it falls to one key issue. OpTic have been very up and down during the Black Ops Cold War season. The raw talent on the team is top-tier, but the results suggest differently. It\u2019s even something that star man Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has revealed as a source of his mental health struggles. While fans were expecting to see the return of LAN be a major turning point for the squad, it doesn\u2019t appear to have made too much of a difference. While Karma might not be playing anymore, he\u2019s clearly one of the greatest minds in CoD history, and he\u2019s had his say on the struggles facing the squad. While many of the Greenwall believed their time may finally be coming at the Stage 4 Major, the tournament ultimately saw Atlanta FaZe taking down Dallas Empire in the grand final. Caster Brice tweeted out questioning whether OpTic will be capable of beating all of the top teams in two months\u2019 time, when the Stage 5 Major and Champs rolls around, asking how consistently they can reach their skill ceiling. Karma\u2019s response was brutally honest, assessing his team\u2019s chances. He said: \u201cThe playstyles are all very different with different paces. To win they gotta all be on point at the same time.\u201d Hate to say it but the playstyles are all very different with different paces. To win they gotta all be on point at the same time. \u2014 Damon B (@DKarma) June 20, 2021 Pacing is definitely an issue that has affected OpTic Chicago throughout the season. During Stage 4, Andrew \u2018Enigma\u2019 Campion explained on Reverse Sweep Round 11 that as well as improved performances from Scump, the team had slowed their play down to get more in sync with each other and made them a better team. Needless to say, one thing you can say for all of the top teams is that they play as a truly cohesive unit, which is why they are capable of regularly reaching grand finals. It\u2019s something OpTic needs to work on but, with time slowly ticking on the 2021 season, it might be too little, too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
