OpTic Gaming LA bench Dashy & Chino after signing two new CDL players MLG \/ OpTic Gaming Los Angeles[jwplayer mCpsAxNx] Following three consecutive losses, OpTic Gaming Los Angeles have once again tweaked their Call of Duty League lineup\u2014this time by benching Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell and Martin \u2018Chino\u2019 Chino for new additions, Darien \u2018Hollow\u2019 Chverchko and Zack \u2018Drazah\u2019 Jordan. Many had speculated a lineup shift after Chino was, once again, relegated to a substitute role on July 6, but the Dashy news may come as a surprise. Long known as a prominent star in Call of Duty, he has recently underperformed on an OGLA lineup that failed to live up to its organization\u2019s CoD pedigree. Hollow and Drazah, meanwhile, have each spent over three months playing for the CDL Challengers UYU organization, both performing admirably enough for OGLA to call upon their services. .@Muddawg talks on picking up @Drazah_ and @Hollow412 and why we believe they make a great addition to OGLA.#OGLA \/\/ #CDL2020 pic.twitter.com\/yFsuePXWRa \u2014 OpTic Gaming\u2122 (@OpTic) July 10, 2020 When Chino was moved into the starting lineup on May 4, OGLA proceeded to go 5-3, but that success proved short-lived as the team subsequently dropped three straight. Evidently dissatisfied with the team\u2019s form, General Manager Eric \u2018Muddawg\u2019 Sanders has pivoted and brought some fresh talent to the team\u2019s roster\u2014with Drazah and Hollow trialing with the team\u2019s starting lineup instead of Chino and Dashy during scrims on July 8 before being officially announced as starters on July 10. OpTic Gaming Los Angeles Updated Roster Zack \u2018Drazah\u2019 Jordan – Darien \u2018Hollow\u2019 Chverchko – Kenny \u2018Kenny\u2018 Williams – Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2018 Liddicoat – Thomas \u2018TJHaly\u2018 Haly – Martin \u2018Chino\u2018 Chino (sub) – Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2018 Otell (sub) – Jordan \u2018JKap\u2018 Kaplan (sub) – Jevon \u2018Goonjar\u2018 Gooljar-lim (sub) – Drazah & Hollow in, Chino & Dashy out. pic.twitter.com\/yn0J5FYHjH \u2014 CDL Intel (@intelCDL) July 8, 2020 After the Chicago Huntsmen\u2019s Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner accidentally joined OGLA\u2019s lobby while streaming, rumors seemed confirmed that Dashy would be joining Chino on the bench as two new players joined the team in lieu of their veteran starters. A former CWL All-Star and tournament MVP, Dashy boasts a tremendous reputation and came into this season as an impressive recruit for OGLA. In Black Ops 4, he regularly posted league-leading K\/D rates\u2014but those numbers have deteriorated substantially in Modern Warfare while OGLA has dropped to eighth in the standings at 7-12. At their latest event, the Paris Home Series, no player hit a positive K\/D but Dashy posted the team\u2019s lowest overall by far with 0.68 (Hardpoint: 0.57, SND: 0.58, Domination: 0.93). That may have been the last straw for a player whose upside is undisputed but whose work ethic had already been subject to unsavory rumors. When discussing Drazah and Hollow\u2019s acquisitions, Muddawg specified wanting the former because \u201che is an aggressive SMG and has been using the smoke a lot\u201d and the latter because \u201che really brings a great wealth of knowledge.\u201d Moving Dashy and Chino to the bench allows this revamped starting group an opportunity to coalesce, while permitting OpTic to consider trading or releasing the two former starters should they not improve enough to reclaim their roles. At the moment, the two\u2019s futures are uncertain and all eyes are on July 17, when OGLA faces the top-tier Florida Mutineers during London Home Series group play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
