OpTic Gaming win $2,500 CMG ProDown Black Ops 4 tournament #3 \u2013 recap, highlights, and final placements OpTic XobeThe third running of Checkmate Gaming\u2019s $2,500 Black Ops 4 ProDown tournament wrapped up on December 3 with OpTic Gaming being crowned champions for the third straight time. OpTic Gaming defeated Team Reciprocity 3-2 and 3-1 in the Grand Final to exact revenge against the first and only team to have beaten them so far this Black Ops 4 season. Having been reverse swept 3-2 by Team Rec in the Winner\u2019s Bracket Final, OpTic were forced to beat 100 Thieves in the Loser\u2019s Final to advance, which meant that they had to win both matches in the Grand Final to be crowned champions, while Rec only had to win one. Just as in the WBF, the first match of the GF proved to be a very tight affair, ultimately going the distance. Reciprocity came out hot and won the first Hardpoint 250-174, and they would also go on to take the game four HP with a similar scoreline \u2013 250-172, Meanwhile OpTic took the Search and Destroy 6-5 and Control 3-2, with both victories coming by the thinnest of margins. OG would amp it up in the game five S&D however, as Crimsix\u2019s ace helped them win 6-1 and force a reset of the bracket. :robot_face::robot_face::robot_face: @OpTic_Crimsix ACE.

Despite OG\u2019s momentum, Team Reciprocity answered back convincingly, taking the Payload S&D 6-1 to even the series. However, despite Rec\u2019s resiliency, OpTic\u2019s dominance and superiority finally showed through at the end, as they won Gridlock Control 3-0 and Hacienda Hardpoint 250-234 to wrap up the series. 4 series, 19 maps played between #OpTicCOD and Reciprocity.
