OpTic Gaming\u2019s Gears of War Team Undergoes Another Major Roster Change But It\u2019s Still One Player Short OpTic Gaming\u2019s Gears of War roster has undergone yet another change as long-term member Nicholas \u2018Red Icy\u2019 Cope has been replaced by Brian \u2018SoLuRs\u2019 Valenzuela. OpTic Gaming has dominated the Gears of War scene for the best part of two years, ever since picking up Gilbert \u2018Xplosive\u2019 Rojo and company back in August of 2016. However, their last event was their worst result to date as they finished in 4th place at the 2018 GPC Las vegas Open and it soon became apparent that all was not well behind the scenes. Justin \u2018Kenny Bounce\u2019 Kenny was removed from the roster in April but soon found a new home with Echo Fox while OpTic started the process of finding a new fifth to put them back on top.

Eventually an arrangement was made that worked for all parties as OpTic came to an agreement with Echo Fox to trade Red Icy for SoLuRs. Please help us welcome Brian “”SoLuRs”” Valenzuela to our OpTic Gears squad! We would like to thank Icy for being such an instrumental part of our Gears family and we wish him the best in his bright future in the competitive Gears of War community. pic.twitter.com\/h8KCC6u93G \u2014 OpTic Gaming\u2122 (@OpTicGaming) May 31, 2018 The trade will reunite Red Icy and Kenny Bounce as well as provide OpTic with one of the hottest talents in the competitive Gears of War scene in the form of SoLuRs. Meanwhile, the rumors about Arody \u2018Praized\u2019 Dipre also joining OpTic Gaming from Echo Fox have started to reach a fever pitch. Again, Praized is regarded as one of the best slayers in the game. Red Icy leaving will certainly have thrown a spanner in the works for OpTic, who had already been working on replacing Kenny for a number of weeks, but if Praized does eventually join, OpTic Gaming could well go on another two year run of dominance. For the time being OpTic Gaming consists of: Gilbert \u2018Xplosive\u2019 Rojo – Billy \u2018MentaL\u2019 Putnam Jr. – Alex \u2018SuMuNs\u2019 Ascencion – Brian \u2018SoLuRs\u2019 Valenzuela –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
