OpTic Texas forfeits first match of the CDL 2023 season Call of Duty LeagueOpTic Texas has forfeited the first match of their CDL 2023 season following a dispute over a replay ruling against Minnesota R\u00d8KKR. The Call of Duty League\u2019s Opening Weekend got underway on December 2 and things kicked off to a rocky start. There were several technical issues plaguing the day but none more significant than the game-freezing glitch that stopped Cammy in his tracks during El Asilo Control. OpTic claimed the victory on the map, but after an hour-long review from the League, it was determined that the teams would have to replay the final round. However, the freezer occurred while the R\u00d8KKR star was attempting to call in a killstreak that may not have affected the game, creating a rocky situation for the officials. After the ruling was handed down, OpTic Texas refused the replay and thus officially forfeited the series to their opponent. OpTic Texas forfeits against Minnesota R\u00d8KKR Shottzy spoke about the decision in a post-game video update and broke down the situation and how it came about. \u201cCammy was trying to call in a Precision Airstrike whenever we were on B but he accidentally called in an SAE and that\u2019s the main reason they want a replay. Whenever you pull out an SAE, there\u2019s a bug where you can\u2019t do anything on it\u2026you have to wait like 5 seconds to do anything on it.\u201d He went on to say that he feels like his team \u201cwould\u2019ve won that 100%\u201d and that the team is \u201cp****ed off\u201d over the decision. Before the announcement was made, OpTic\u2019s Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2018 Otell voiced his displeasure over how things were being handled. \u201c[Minnesota] took doing whatever it takes to another level\u2026actually shameless,\u201d he Tweeted about the situation. He quickly followed that up by claiming that the other team were being \u201cf***ing weirdos\u201d about accepting the loss and it didn\u2019t take long for Scump to announce that they wouldn\u2019t be playing the rest of the match. Illey also chimed in, calling the result \u201cpathetic.\u201d Call of Duty legend and three-time World Champion, Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow, also chimed in to say that he doesn\u2019t agree with the replay ruling or understand why it\u2019s so important. \u201cI can\u2019t see a world where the outcome to that map is any different,\u201d he stated. OpTic co-owner Hastr0 doubled down on the decision and announced the org will stand with their players regardless of the outcome. \u201cI\u2019m supporting our team on this one. When we dedicate our lives to competing at the highest level, the room for error in the rules is zero.\u201d The CDL has confirmed the decision and has awarded the win to Minnesota.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
