Pamaj announces departure from OpTic Gaming Long-time Call of Duty content creator Austin \u2018Pamaj\u2019 Pamajewon announced Wednesday that he was leaving OpTic Gaming. In a 17-minute video uploaded to his official YouTube channel, Pamaj detailed the series of events that led him to leave the organization that he had called home for the last three years. Many of his issues ended up not having to do with OpTic Gaming specifically, but rather Infinite Esports, OpTic\u2019s parent company, that came in and changed things. According to Pamaj, everything started to change after he left the Scuf House back in 2016. \u201cThere were a lot of promises, not from anyone from the SCUF house, but from corporate, that just didn\u2019t happen,\u201d Pamaj recalls. As time went on after leaving the house, Pamaj noticed even more changes happening within the organization. While there was plenty of expansion on the esports side of things, Pamaj said that \u201con the content creation side, there wasn\u2019t too much support.\u201d Read More: OpTic parent company Infinite Esports layoff a host of staff including president Chris Chaney – \u201cThere wasn\u2019t a lot of communication and there was a lot of sketchy things that I felt like were happening, and it wasn\u2019t cool,\u201d Pamaj said of the decisions from \u2018corporate.\u2019 Pamaj grew concerned over time that many of these decisions weren\u2019t happening for the better of the organization as a whole. \u201cIt was very upsetting to just sit here and watch what we\u2019d built over a certain amount of time just not getting the love and respect that it should have gotten. Just watching it getting taken away from us and torn down a bit. That hurt. It\u2019s like, what did we do this for?\u201d This led him to start questioning his place with OpTic saying \u201cIt felt like everyone in OpTic wanted their own thing. The brotherhood, as soon as we moved, just disappeared.\u201d Pamaj maintains that he has no hard feelings with anyone on OpTic or from the SCUF House and he feels at peace with his decision. Pamaj\u2019s exit, while not directly connected to, seems to coincidentally-timed with sweeping changes and a mass exodus of staff from Infinite Esports. Following reports of these changes within the organization, OpTic Gaming CEO and Owner Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 has, according to OpTic content creator Hitch, been considering returning to a more active role with the OpTic organization. With the layoffs at infinite and now Pamaj leaving the organization after three years, we could see a return from H3CZ sooner rather than later.
