OpTic Texas slams CDL and CoD devs after forfeiting MW2 match vs Minnesota ROKKR OpTic \/ CDLOpTic Texas have explained why they refused to replay their controversial CDL Major 1 match versus the Minnesota ROKKR, which resulted instead in an acrimonious forfeit. The success of the Modern Warfare 2 season\u2019s opening Call of Duty League weekend was somewhat overshadowed by controversy after OpTic Texas\u2019 match with Minnesota ROKKR ended in a forfeit on December 2. With the game winding down and OpTic closing in on victory in the Control mode, ROKKR\u2019s Cammy accidentally called in an SAE scorestreak. A known glitch caused him to get stuck \u2018in\u2019 the streak and ROKKR subsequently lost as he was unable to do anything. Initial confusion led to the CDL ordering a full replay, which OpTic refused. As a result, they forfeited the series and started the season 0-1, leading to a barrage of criticism towards the CDL and the ROKKR. OpTic Texas lift lid on controversial forfeit vs ROKKR In December 8\u2019s OpTic podcast, org leader H3CZ and Head Coach Rambo explained exactly what happened and why they refused to replay the match. Rambo revealed that the team agreed to forfeit the Control on the basis they could play out the rest of the series. The CDL apparently agreed, before reversing their decision and telling OpTic that a refusal to replay would result in forfeiting the series as a whole. \u201cSo okay we don\u2019t wanna replay this map, let\u2019s move on to the next map,\u201d Rambo said. \u201cAnd we were told we can\u2019t. We were told if we forfeit this, we forfeit the entire match\u2026 in what world does that make sense?\u201d Timestamp: 12:25 Speaking passionately about the situation, H3CZ revealed that the team agreed to forfeit the series to highlight an issue that otherwise would have been swept under the proverbial rug. \u201cWe\u2019re not gonna play along with you to protect something that is so egregiously wrong with this league,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is not amateur hour\u2026 You\u2019re telling me you can\u2019t give us a little bit? You can\u2019t give us four developers to sit there and try to remove a glitch?\u201d The SAE bug that affected Cammy was known about prior to the CDL\u2019s opening weekend. The ROKKR star also revealed in a post-match interview that players were forced into selecting the SAE as a result of another issue, so the glitch was an acute possibility. \u201cIf we don\u2019t address it then it goes unaddressed,\u201d H3CZ continued. \u201cIf they play along with it then there will be no fix. This sort of anger, this sort of discontent from the crowd needs to happen\u2026 This is year four! Where are we? What are we doing?\u2026 We\u2019re not gonna hide the fact there\u2019s no support here.\u201d OpTic recovered somewhat from their disappointing and controversial start, beating Florida 3-0. They enter CDL Major 1\u2019s second qualifying weekend 1-1 as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
