OpTic Gaming LA part ways with coach Pacman following CDL Florida run Twitter: OpTicGamingOpTic Gaming Los Angeles (OGLA) has parted ways with head coach Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker following a major roster shuffle and a second-place finish at the CDL Florida Home Series. With Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan rotated out of OGLA\u2019s starting roster and Martin \u2018Chino\u2019 Chino stepping up, the team recorded its best placement to date last weekend. The May 8 to May 10 Florida Home Series saw the previously struggling squad emerge with a second-place finish. Despite the drastic shakeup and subsequent results, the CDL organization has bid farewell to its first and only coach in Pacman. We\u2019d like to thank @PacmanJT for his work with OpTic Gaming Los Angeles. We appreciate everything he\u2019s done for the squad and wish him the best going forward. pic.twitter.com\/VsDOOfI94n \u2014 OpTic Gaming\u2122 (@OpTic) May 12, 2020 Former pro player turned broadcast talent, Pacman was announced as OpTic\u2019s head coach on January 8. Just four months later, his tenure has come to an end. \u201cI am no longer a part of OpTic Gaming,\u201d he revealed in a May 11 tweet. \u201cI will miss being with the team on a daily basis but my time here has come to an end.\u201d While a plethora of CoD veterans and industry icons replied to his announcement, many of OpTic\u2019s players have yet to comment on the departure. Kenny \u2018Kuavo\u2019 Williams responded to Pacman\u2019s post simply wishing him luck. For the time being, there\u2019s no telling who may fill his shoes as OpTic proceeds forward without a coach. I am no longer a part of @OpTicGaming. I will miss being with the team on a daily basis but my time here has come to an end. I have spent the last decade of my life in call of duty and will be looking for the next opportunity that arises for me in cod esports. Thank you \u2764\ufe0f \u2014 Jonathan Tucker (@PacmanJT) May 12, 2020 As for what comes next, Pacman assured fans that he\u2019ll be sticking around the competitive Call of Duty scene. \u201cI have spent the last decade of my life in call of duty and will be looking for the next opportunity that arises for me in cod esports.\u201d Perhaps another team could benefit from his coaching experience, or maybe we\u2019ll even see him back on the broadcast desk as an analyst. Only time will tell where he may end up. On the back of an impressive showing at the Florida Home Series, OGLA currently sits in seventh place overall in the CDL standings. The team is scheduled to compete at the upcoming Seattle event on May 22 where they will first square off with the Minnesota Rokkr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
