The Greenwall fans were obviously blindsided by the news, but there\u2019s been various questionable developments since the IGC buyout that\u2019s slowly conforming OpTic in the new leadership\u2019s vision. What\u2019s next for the elite Gears of War team? Meanwhile, previous OpTic CEO Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez also gave his former team a fitting goodbye, as it seems the ties that the old OpTic guard still hold strong. \u201cThank you, you\u2019re the definition of champion,\u201d H3CZ said. \u201cYou and the team brought great times and memories to our team. You and your team will forever be OpTic. ANYTHING you need I got you.\u201d Players and fans all over the scene were taken back by the news, but looks like they will be sticking together for whatever may come next in their shining careers. \u201cMy teammates Xplosive, MentaL, Sumuns, Solurs, and Praized and I are currently looking for a new organization to represent in Gears 5 and beyond,\u201d Ashes said. While the teammates remain longtime friends, fans will hold their collective breath to see what comes next for the dominant force as they look for a new banner to represent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
