OpTic Gaming\u2019s Kuavo savagely slams ROKKR pro after CDL Champs sweep Instagram, @kuavokenny [jwplayer qiSnM8TU] OpTic Gaming Los Angeles swept the Minnesota ROKKR and eliminated them from the Call of Duty League Playoffs before icing that bruising with some of the most brutal trash talk we\u2019ve seen this season. Back in early August, OpTic Gaming posted a video making fun of the ROKKR, whose newest starter, Kaden \u2018Exceed\u2019 Stockdale, responded by insinuating that OGLA was getting beaten in scrims against Minnesota. OpTic\u2019s Zack \u2018Drazah\u2019 Jordan and Kenny \u2018Kuavo\u2019 Williams took offense to that Tweet back then and, a few weeks later, got to put the nail in the coffin after drubbing Minnesota 3-0. At the time, it was actually Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat who got the most involved \u2014 noting how ridiculous it was for a recent pickup to talk trash over scrims. But that conversation took a much more intense turn after their postseason matchup played out. Unfortunately for Exceed, Drazah and Kuavo have a good memory and clearly remembered the earlier banter because they repaid it tenfold after their playoff blowout. Kenny hit Exceed with a \u201cbye bye, stick to scrims\u201d and included a picture of him hoisting a tournament MVP award from his dominant Team Kaliber days. Drazah, on the other hand, played it less chill, dropping a \u201c3-0\u2019d when it mattered, dogs**t f**k\u201d on the recently defeated opponent. As far as trash talk and banter go, this has to be some of the spiciest we\u2019ve seen all season \u2014 fittingly, given how important this time of the year is. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on which side you\u2019re on, it appears that the OGLA boys kept the trash-talking there. Just as the ROKKR\u2019s season is over, Exceed appears to be done with the banter too: in his postgame tweet, he gave props to the winners and focused on \u201clooking forward to the future.\u201d Heartbroken. GG\u2019s to optic they played well. Lost every respawn by ourselves. Can\u2019t believe it. Shoutout @ROKKR for helping live out my dream. They\u2019ve been absolutely amazing. Looking forward to the future \u2014 Exceed (@ExceedLbX) August 22, 2020 As for how the rest of the ROKKR players responded to Kenny and Drazah trashing their teammate, publicly it was just Justin \u2018SiLLY\u2019 Fargo-Palmer who defended Exceed against Kuavo\u2019s dig, letting the OpTic star know that he was being \u201ctoxic.\u201d But Kuavo responded saying it was only directed at Exceed, not the rest of the Minnesota roster, so at least it\u2019s not all bad blood. Regardless, it will be a long offseason for Exceed and the ROKKR, who finished tied for ninth in the Playoffs and ended their inaugural campaign on a CDL-record 10-match losing streak.
