In the September 27th episode of OpTic\u2019s Vision series, H3CZ announced that the org had parted ways with Fortnite pro player Robert \u2018WizKay\u2019 Simone. who was one of the original members of OpTic\u2019s roster when they first ventured into competitive Fortnite. \u201cWe would like to thank WizKay for his time with us on our professional Fortnite team,\u201d OpTic tweeted out. \u201cWe wish him the best as he continues his career as a Fortnite professional.\u201d WizKay has been replaced by up-and-comer Stephen \u2018Gunfly\u2019 Brown, who has recently established himself as a top competitor in the scene. Gunfly will now be teaming Kenneth \u2018BaldyKun\u2019 Anderson, Marco \u2018MarkyWap\u2019 Soto, and Dade \u2018Dramas\u2019 Lesch for the remainder of the $100 million competitive season. In the episode of Vision, H3CZ explained that this roster change could be what starts turning OpTic into a force in Fortnite esports. \u201cIf we concentrate on really really making our team stand out and be competitive, we\u2019re going to have to make certain adjustment,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that this one sort of sets the wheels in motion, we\u2019re serious about Fortnite. We\u2019re very, very serious about it.\u201d H3CZ went on to say that he has learned from his mistakes in the past, especially in regards to OpTic\u2019s Call of Duty team, and knew that he had to get involved if such a promising talent such as Gunfly was available for recruitment. \u201cThis one we did discuss, and Gunfly is just too good of a player to pass up,\u201d he explained. \u201cSince the beginning of time, anytime a player of certain caliber is up for grabs, the least thing that we can do is sit down and have a conversation about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpTic Gaming announce roster change for their Fortnite pro team, and CEO \u2018H3CZ\u2019 explains why North American based esports organization OpTic Gaming have made a roster change within their pro team for Fortnite Battle Royale, and CEO Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez has provided insight on the decision.
