Having competed at the top level of Call of Duty esports for almost ten years, you might expect Crimsix to have had an endless list of teammates, but he is one of the few long time players to have played alongside only a select number. In fact, Crimsix has only really been part of three teams throughout his career \u2013 compLexity, Evil Geniuses and of course, OpTic Gaming. While competing, he has rarely been seen without at least one of two players by his side, Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner and Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow. In the latest episode of \u2018600 Seconds\u2019 with OpTic founder Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez, Crimsix was asked to pick his best teammate (excluding Scump, due to how long they had played together). Unsurprisingly, he picked Karma \u2013 but it wasn\u2019t straight forward. Crimsix explains, \u201cNot including Seth? Damon \u2013 in a good mood.\u201d This distinction is important, as Porter stated that Karma in a bad mood is \u201cquiet, he doesn\u2019t talk \u2013 but I think Damon in a good mood, is the best teammate ever.\u201d Having played together on compLexity, Evil Geniuses and now OpTic, and winning two world championships together, the Crimsix and Karma duo is one of the most dominant in all of CoD esports. Despite having dropped Karma from the roster during the WWII season, the pair have been reunited for the Black Ops 4 season, and already got back to winning ways at CWL Vegas, where Crimsix thanked him for returning to the roster, saying \u201cwe\u2019re nothing without you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic\u2019s Crimsix explains why Karma is both the best and worst teammate OpTic Gaming vet Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has discussed who the \u2018best teammate\u2019 he ever had is, but his answer might not be quite what you expect.
