CS:GO: Former OpTic India players signed by new organization OpticFollowing one of the biggest cheating scandals in recent memory, some of the former OpTic India players are getting a new lease on life in competitive CS:GO. During the eXTREMESLAND 2018 Finals in October, OpTic India player Nikhil \u2018forsaken\u2019 Kumawat was caught cheating during a match, which led to his team\u2019s disqualification from the tournament and eventual release from the team. It was an unfortunate circumstance for those players who hadn\u2019t been cheating, but in the months following the messy aftermath, some of forsaken\u2019s former teammates will not be getting a second chance.

They will be joined by Cong \u2018crazyguy\u2019 Anh, Debanjan \u2018Deathmaker\u2019 Das, and Tejas \u2018Ace\u2019 Sawant to round out the five-man roster. Other than yb and Marzil, former Optic India member Sabyasachi \u2018Antidote\u2019 Bose has found a spot on 2ez Gaming\u2019s roster. Forsaken\u2019s cheating incident was one of the most publicized things to happen at an esports event this year and was definitely a black eye for Optic, so his former teammates are no doubt ready to move past the incident with another shot in competitive CS:GO. There\u2019s no word yet on when the new team will make their debut, but expect them to quickly try and move away from the shadow of OpTic India\u2019s checkered history.
