Methodz explains how OpTic failed in WWII despite being \u201cone of the best in the game\u201d MLGAnthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni, currently a substitute for the high-flying Toronto Ultra, has claimed that OpTic Gaming\u2019s WWII roster was one of the \u201cbest in the game\u201d, despite their lack of tournament wins and woeful CoD Champs placement. The turbulent WWII season experienced by OpTic Gaming is well known, mainly because it signaled the end of the infamous dynasty roster \u2013 the best roster professional Call of Duty has ever seen. FormaL and Karma departed, with Samuel \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew and Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni joining in their places. OpTic\u2019s form did not drastically change, though, and the roster fell apart after mediocrity became embarrassment with a 17-24th place finish at WWII\u2019s World Championship. Despite the short-lived roster and obvious frustrations, Methodz has referred to his time on OpTic Gaming as \u201cdream come true\u201d. Speaking to Dexerto\u2019s own Reverse Sweep, Methodz believes the OpTic roster with Crimsix, Scump and Octane was one of the \u201cbest in the game\u201d, despite their poor placements. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame for sure,\u201d he said, speaking of how the OpTic roster ended. \u201cWe were one of the best teams in the game. We placed number one in the pro league, so we were obviously very capable. For some reason we went to events and it just didn\u2019t click. [At] Champs, we [needed to] win one map versus EG, and that\u2019s the tournament winners, we had their bracket. I\u2019m expecting at least a top-three at that Champs if we beat EG at one map.\u201d The failure to take a map win off the eventual World Champions meant OpTic finished third in their group and were eliminated from the tournament. It\u2019s a bold claim given their failure to get through groups but, in terms of raw talent, there\u2019s certainly a discussion to be had. Who knows what would have happened had OpTic managed to get through to the knockout stages, but their shortcomings meant the roster never made it to Black Ops 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
