OpTic Gaming players blast CDL servers following loss to ROKKR Call of Duty LeagueOpTic Gaming Los Angeles lost an excruciatingly close match to the Minnesota ROKKR at the Seattle Home Series, which led to a Twitter rant about the Call of Duty League\u2019s servers from star man Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat, among others. Losing in competitive Call of Duty is never fun, especially when the defeat comes in a match that goes the distance \u2013 all the way to game five, round 11. That was the case for OpTic Gaming LA, who could not clutch up on Arklov Peak Search & Destroy against the Minnesota ROKKR and have now been forced down to the losers bracket, where they fill face elimination on Saturday. However, not an instant had gone following the result when several of their players angrily took to Twitter and complained about their apparently poor connection to the CDL servers. SlasheR, in particular, was very passionate in his tirade: \u201cWant to know why there was a huge delay? Because I\u2019m being forced to play on 100+ ping because their Texas server is conveniently unplayable. Pathetic, someone needs to be held accountable.\u201d He went on to claim that the CDL accommodated Minnesota when they had similar complaints, but were not so cooperative with OpTic. \u201cWhen Minnesota skips for one second in a test lobby, the league says the host is unplayable,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2018Deal with it, nothing we can do.\u2019 Twice now. Unfair BS, they need to be held accountable.\u201d The former World Champion even went as far as to say that he\u2019d \u201crather not play,\u201d when a fan accused him of making excuses \u201cevery time you lose.\u201d SlasheR was not the only one to express such claims; both Dashy and the recently-promoted Chino tweeted about having to play on 100+ ping, with the former saying that he \u201cmisses LAN.\u201d While it\u2019s never good to see players so frustrated about having to compete in such conditions, connection issues were always going to be an inevitability when the CDL announced, back in March, that the entire 2020 season would be played online. The first event following that change, CDL Dallas, had its fair share of problems, and after similarly passionate complaints from Empire star Crimsix, the league announced the implementation of several new servers and a \u2018server veto\u2019 system that would, in theory, help mitigate some of the issues. SlasheR himself also complained around that time as well, calling the situation \u201cjust unacceptable\u201d and saying \u201cwhen does the next Black Ops game release?\u201d After a couple of events with relatively few grievances from players, it appears that the predicaments have resurfaced, so only time will tell if, and how, the CDL will deal with them this time.
