Karma weighs in on OpTic and eUnited social media dispute OpTic Gaming\u2019s Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow gave his response to the Twitter storm which brewed up on Halloween night, after a joke made by eUnited to troll the OpTic organization caused debate. For eUnited\u2019s Halloween \u2018costume\u2019, they gave their Twitter account a makeover, complete with new profile image and header, all inspired by the green color of OpTic Gaming. They posted a tweet explaining \u201cVery spooky. We are dressing up as a Top 24 Champs team this year\u201d \u2013 mocking OpTic\u2019s top 17-24th placing at the 2018 CWL World Championship. The majority of the community appreciated what they saw as light hearted poking fun, but OpTic\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner was the first OG member to respond \u2013 and wasn\u2019t happy. He called the troll a \u201cpathetic roast for attention\u201d, saying that while he was happy to take criticizm from other pro players and fans, he wouldn\u2019t accept it from a professional organization \u201cof people I don\u2019t know.\u201d Later, during a live stream, Scump\u2019s teammate Karma gave his review. He was more reserved than Scump, but made clear that he didn\u2019t think much of the Twitter antics either. Karma of course was not part of the OpTic team that placed top 24, but has won three world championships to eUnited\u2019s zero, and points this out: \u201c[eUnited] don\u2019t get to have a lot of fun \u2013 I\u2019ve had a lot of fun three times.\u201d He also says it was \u201cuncalled for, really unnecessary\u201d, before going on to belittle it to nothing more than a publicity stunt. \u201cIf you want some publicity, do something with OpTic,\u201d he said, \u201cit usually works \u2013 that\u2019s how I got popular.\u201d eUnited have since changed back to their original colors, posting a new tweet saying \u2018#NewProfilePic Much Better\u201d. They also asked their followers to decide for them whether they should continue \u2018memes\u2019 or not on their social media account, which sits at 70% in favor of memes at the time of writing. The organization likely would have expected some vitriol from OpTic Gaming fans, but the general consensus was that it was a funny joke. However, CoDGamepedia did point out that if they wanted to dress up as a top 24 Champs team, they needn\u2019t have dressed up at all. You guys didn’t have to dress up then :sweat_smile: pic.twitter.com\/WjtsDaua46 \u2014 COD Gamepedia (@CODGamepedia) October 31, 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
