OpTic LA\u2019s SlasheR slams \u201cunacceptable\u201d Modern Warfare online matches IG: OpTicGaming\/CDLOpTic Gaming LA\u2019s Austin \u2018SlasheR\u2019 Liddicoat has slammed Modern Warfare over the internet conditions in which players have to compete in the Call of Duty League, following the inaugural season\u2019s move online. There has been significant debate about the CDL\u2019s transition to online play only, with a host of pro players arguing that there are far too many inconsistencies and server issues for the season to be legitimate. Others, however, make the case that it\u2019s the only way competition can continue given the ongoing global crisis. SlasheR, veteran AR for OpTic Gaming Los Angeles, comes down on the side of the former argument, and has slammed the CDL as his side\u2019s struggles go on. Despite, on paper, boasting one of the best rosters in the whole league, the OpTic Gaming LA roster have struggled to put any sort of winning run together. These issues have continued into the ongoing CDL Chicago, where a 3-1 loss to the LA Guerillas saw the Green Wall eliminated without winning a match. While they have struggled both online and at LAN events, SlasheR has hit out at the CDL over recent online conditions, arguing they are completely \u201cunacceptable\u201d and impossible to compete under. \u201cThis is just unacceptable,\u201d he said, in an April 25 tweet. \u201cWhen does the next Black Ops game release? Gotta mark my calendar\u201d. Next year\u2019s CoD title is developed by Treyarch and, while not thought to be a direct sequel to Black Ops 4, is thought to be tied into the series in some way. This is just unacceptable. When does the next black ops game release? Gotta mark my calendar \u2014 Austin Liddicoat (@SlasheR_AL) April 25, 2020 SlasheR\u2019s criticism is aimed at Modern Warfare\u2019s online servers which, despite recent adjustments to try and make them more suitable for competitive play, many claim are still struggling to offer totally lag-free experiences. SlasheR also states that the lag was so bad, his team were asking to end the game early, as well as sarcastically providing a map to highlight the distance between Los Angeles and Chicago. We are also screaming mid map SND for a ref to end the game after round 2. ROUND TWO !!!!!!!!! \u201cWe cant end it\u201d \u2014 Austin Liddicoat (@SlasheR_AL) April 25, 2020 The tweets follow complaints from CDL Chicago\u2019s Friday competition, in which SlasheR asked how players are supposed to perform at the highest level while on 100 ping. How does one perform at the highest level on 100 ping? Asking for a friend \u2014 Austin Liddicoat (@SlasheR_AL) April 25, 2020 In response to the complaints, Joe \u2018MerK\u2019 DeLuca, ex-pro CoD player and current broadcaster for the CDL, said: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing anyone can do, we would all love to be on LAN\u201d. No, it\u2019s more like there\u2019s nothing anyone can do, we would all love to be on lan. \u2014 MerK (@JoeDeLuca) April 25, 2020 It is an undoubtedly tricky situation for the CDL to balance. There is no real prospect of LAN play returning anytime soon, but SlasheR is clearly of the opinion that the CDL\u2019s online environment could be drastically improved. The ongoing struggles of OpTic Gaming Los Angeles have led some to speculate about upcoming roster changes. Of the five players currently starting for the Green Wall, four won at least one tournament in last year\u2019s Black Ops 4. It is a truly bizarre series of events, as five of the world\u2019s best CoD players struggle to win a single map.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
