London Royal Ravens and OpTic LA roast each other ahead of CDL Two Call of Duty League franchises, London Royal Ravens and OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, have locked horns via social media, setting up more intriguing story-lines ahead of the 2020 season. As the professional Call of Duty scene makes the unprecedented jump into a franchise-based league, fans are eagerly anticipating a host of new rivalries and storylines, as ex-teammates turn nemeses in the league\u2019s new format. We have already seen ex-OpTic Gaming\u2019s Crimsix and Scump getting at each other\u2019s throats, and November 22 saw two of the CDL\u2019s franchises going at it via social media. London Royal Ravens are one of three franchises based outside of the U.S., alongside Paris Legion and Toronto Ultra. It\u2019s fair to assume that distance will lessen any rivalries, but that didn\u2019t stop them picking a fight with a franchise on the other side of the planet. \u201cGonna tell my grandkids this was the most loved CoD team,\u201d the Ravens\u2019 tweet said. It then had a picture of OpTic Gaming LA\u2019s logo, joking that all of the Greenwall\u2019s fans have deserted them as H3CZ, Scump and others left the organization, and it was acquired by Immortals Gaming. OpTic then hit back, mocking the mundanity of the Ravens\u2019 announcement video, which saw members of its CoD team introducing themselves as they lounged around on sofas. Gonna tell my grandkids that this was the best team announcement in the league https:\/\/t.co\/MGaMsZy3mS \u2014 OpTic Gaming\u2122 (@OpTic) November 22, 2019 However, London didn\u2019t seem too phased by the insult to their announcement video. They immediately hit back with a screenshot of OpTic Gaming LA\u2019s 231-point defeat to Dallas Empire in a hardpoint scrim. \u201cGonna tell my grandkids this is a pro team,\u201d the caption read. While scrim results should be taken with a degree of skepticism, fans were shocked at how one-sided the match was, with only Dashy managing to get into double figures for kills. Unofficial scrim records suggest OpTic Gaming LA are struggling to find early consistency on Modern Warfare. OpTic did not respond further but Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, their main AR, took issue with London\u2019s tweets, and hit back with a number of images showing OpTic members winning tournaments. In response, London joked that SlasheR would \u2018GA\u2019 their tweets \u2013 meaning \u2018gentleman\u2019s agreement\u2019. Read More: New Modern Warfare leaks from v1.09 update – SlasheR seemingly has a reputation in the pro CoD scene for pushing for in-game items to be GA\u2019d, meaning pros agree not to use them, despite them technically being allowed in the official rules. With OpTic LA already facing rivalries with Chicago, Dallas and LA Guerrillas, it seems we can add London to the list of teams that want to get one over on the new version of the Greenwall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
