OpTic Chicago furious over \u201cunacceptable\u201d server drama after FaZe CDL loss ActivisionAfter suffering a humiliating loss at the hands of Atlanta FaZe, the OpTic Chicago players were left reeling as it turned out they were playing on the wrong server, giving FaZe a huge advantage. While the Call of Duty League has been online for over a year now, there still seems to be a lot of debate over how to make games fair for everyone playing \u2014 but they seem to have hit a pretty serious snag in the FaZe vs OpTic Stage 3 matchup. While for the most part, the games have run incredibly smoothly, this monumental matchup was apparently put on the wrong server, at the serious cost of OpTic\u2019s ability to play on a level field. While teams get to choose which servers they play on to make it fair for everyone, the players are alleging that a \u201ctypo\u201d in an email caused this high-stakes matchup to be played on the Atlanta server \u2014 home of the FaZe team. According to Envoy, the OpTic vs FaZe match was played on the wrong server due to a typo \ud83d\ude2c https:\/\/t.co\/Pu8hK4Ul1Y \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) May 9, 2021 While OpTic were absolutely dominated by their Atlanta rivals, this definitely raises questions over the all-important CDL series, which had serious ramifications for both teams. Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell tweeted after the match that they \u201cgot finessed in broad daylight\u201d for a chance to make the winner\u2019s bracket of the Stage 3 Major. Got finessed in broad daylight that ref is probably dapping up Banks & the boys throwing the FaZe up rn \u2014 brandon (@DashySZN) May 9, 2021 Dylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon also tweeted saying that it happened due to \u201ca typo in an email,\u201d adding that it\u2019s not why they lost but is \u201cf**king unacceptable.\u201d Just got told the CDL Host selected the wrong server in our match because of a typo in a email. 1000% not why we lost but that is un fucking acceptable. \u2014 Ultra Envoy (@DylanEnvoy) May 9, 2021 Other pros baffled It wasn\u2019t just the OpTic players mindblown at the server ordeal, either. Seattle Surge\u2019s Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew questioned how the ref of the match didn\u2019t see any issue with Atlanta FaZe loading into an Atlanta server against a team based in Texas. No way the guy loading up the Atlanta server saw FaZe in the lobby and thought to himself yeah this is right \u2014 Sam \u201cOctane\u201d Larew (@OctaneSam) May 9, 2021 Taking to Reddit, JKap explained how the server picks usually work, saying \u201cI saw that match was gonna be on ATL plus someone had told me that OpTic hated the STL server so much that they agreed to the ATL one.\u201d Upon realizing the League actually messed up, he\u2019s clearly as confused as everyone else. As a result of Atlanta\u2019s 3-0 win over Chicago, the OpTic side will start in the loser\u2019s bracket at the Major. While questions can be raised over the server ordeal, they looked completely out of place in all three maps, ping-related issues or not. They\u2019ll be hoping to tighten things up at the Stage 3 Major, with a $500k prize pool, CDL points, and a whole lot of glory on the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
