To say it has been a tumultuous time for the content creation side of OpTic Gaming would be a heavy understatement, as numerous prominent and longtime members have left the organization over the past few weeks and months. On August 13, Spratt became the latest to part ways with the Green Wall, citing the org\u2019s recent changes as the main reason for his decision. \u201cAfter a roller coaster of a journey, I have decided to leave OpTic Gaming,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cThese last two years have been filled with amazing experiences and adventures, which I wouldn\u2019t trade for the world. Thank you to the Green Wall for the memories, you all made me feel so welcomed.\u201d Read More: MiDNiTE leaves OpTic after 10 years &#8211; \u201cI joined OpTic at a very obscure point in its timeline, but still went to into it with passion and confidence.

OpTic, alongside many of the things they\u2019ve owned before, slowly started to change again in another direction, and seeing how things have gone behind the scenes, and seeing how things could go in the future, that\u2019s why I decided to part ways with the team. One of the most well-known YouTubers in the Call of Duty community, Spratt joined OpTic in August of 2017, following a surprise departure from FaZe Clan, of which he had been a member of during his rise to prominence. Midway through his tenure with the Green Wall, he announced that he would be heading back to his home country of England on a permanent basis, which he now says may have played a role in his decision to part ways.

Being in England, on my lonesome, being away from everyone else on the team, it did take a toll on me.\u201d As for his immediate future, Spratt has revealed that he has no plans on joining any teams or organizations, opting to take on content creation solo. \u201cI\u2019m no longer a part of a team, I\u2019m a solo creator, a lone wolf,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t have any plans at the moment to join another organization. I just want to be known as Spratt for a while, or maybe Spratty, we\u2019ll bring back the original nickname, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spratt reveals why he\u2019s leaving OpTic Gaming Spratt &#8211; YouTubePopular Call of Duty YouTuber James Spratt has announced that he\u2019s decided to part ways with OpTic Gaming two years after he joined the Green Wall.
