Reverse Sweep\u2019s Andrew \u2018Enigma\u2019 Campion dove into the statistics and gameplay behind OpTic\u2019s 2021 season, culminating in the Stage 5 Major. The wildest event of the season helped OpTic hit their best finish of the year, third. But neither fans or OpTic were satisfied with bronze, driving Enigma to look at ways the roster can iron out its issues and hit championship form. One overriding link between seemingly all fixes is OpTic\u2019s main AR, Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper. And, if a championship is the goal, the CoD analyst believes it is most certainly attainable \u2014 as long as FormaL can return to form. FormaL key to OpTic\u2019s CDL Champs hopes As Enigma explains, FormaL is markedly inconsistent based on matchups and modes. Obviously a gifted player, he somehow can\u2019t get over a hump against the top-tier Toronto Ultra. An easy example: FormaL has just a 0.71 K\/D against the Ultra on Search and Destroy. Past that, Enigma elaborates that Formal is, without a doubt, a \u201cfantastic player,\u201d but he needs to \u201cpick it up.\u201d Another statistical example would be Hardpoint in Stage 5, where FormaL was the only OpTic player to sit on a negative K\/D: 0.98. Despite being a Main AR, the legendary player seems to have struggled to find his role in the slaying department. Meanwhile, FormaL has produced in Control throughout the past stage and this clearly correlated with OpTic success. While Chicago were above-average in HP (8-7) and SND (8-5), their Control record was a gnarly 7-2, proving the value FormaL brings when he\u2019s in form. If OpTic are already a top-three team with FormaL playing below his standards, can you imagine what they could do if he hit final form? If not, Enigma can imagine for you: OpTic could win CDL Champs 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic Chicago can win CDL Champs if X-factor FormaL levels up Activision \/ Call of Duty League If the Call of Duty League\u2019s beloved OpTic Chicago squad want to win CDL Champs 2021, then Reverse Sweep\u2019s Enigma knows who can be the clear difference-maker: legendary CoD AR, FormaL.
