OpTic\u2019s Dashy reveals how he was \u201cswindled\u201d out of joining Huntsmen YouTube, H3CZ \/ CDLBack with the the original OpTic franchise after a year away, Dashy explained to H3CZ why he didn\u2019t join Scump and co. on the 2020 Call of Duty League\u2019s Chicago Huntsmen roster and how he felt \u201clied to\u201d during the process. Immortals Gaming Club bought OpTic Gaming in June 2019 to form OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, just ahead of the CDL\u2019s inaugural season. During that first rostermania, OpTic\u2019s rising star Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell got serious \u2018betrayal\u2019 backlash for staying with new ownership instead of joining Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner on Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez\u2019s new Chicago Huntsmen organization. While rumors have flown around throughout that entire time span, including speculation that Dashy wanted a trade to Chicago, little has been put on the official record. Now, with H3CZ reacquiring OpTic (and Dashy) for 2021, the two cleared the air on a new episode of the Eavesdrop Podcast. As it turns out, the situation was as muddy as any in professional CoD \u2014 ranging from Scump \u201cghosting\u201d Dashy to the young star feeling \u201cswindled\u201d by Immortals\u2019 OGLA. Ultimately, it\u2019s less a story of betrayal than a story of miscommunication and a deal that was too good to pass up. With H3CZ asking directly what happened during that pivotal offseason, Dashy painted his side of the picture: he, Scump, and Thomas \u2018TJHaLy\u2019 Haly planned to stay together for 2020, while bringing on Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper. But then came the miscommunication, as Dashy explained that Scump \u201cdidn\u2019t keep me in the loop at all. For a week straight, he kind of ghosted me.\u201d During that period, Dashy elaborated that OGLA reached out and \u201cgave us a pretty godlike contract,\u201d but a time-sensitive one. Adding onto their negotiating leverage, the group told him that H3CZ still \u201cdidn\u2019t have a league spot.\u201d As such, concerned by a lack of communication and convinced that H3CZ didn\u2019t have his Chicago league spot, Dashy signed the contract. Subconsciously convinced that the \u201cleague spot\u201d confusion was exaggerated, he revealed that his \u201cheart just dropped\u201d when signing the deal. Now back on OpTic with H3CZ and Scump, Dashy explained the emotions he was feeling as he saw the team successfully form the Huntsmen a year prior: \u201cIn my head, I definitely got finessed. I got swindled hard \u2026 I felt like I got lied to. A lot.\u201d For what it\u2019s worth, H3CZ clarifies that it\u2019s true he did not technically have a league spot at that time, but he felt it was obvious he would end up with one. Still, the Green Wall army will likely be satisfied with Dashy\u2019s reasoning. It\u2019s not so much betrayal as it was a miscommunication, muddy information, and a \u201cgodlike\u201d offer that, considering the circumstances, was too good to pass up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
