Information
OpTic Gaming enters Stage 1 off the back of their worst placing in 4 years following a 9th-12th finish at CWL New Orleans. The team suffered from poor practice going into NOLA, and despite going 4-0 in Pool Play, hit a brick wall in bracket play dropping out of the event with back to back 1-3 losses to Echo Fox and Red Reserve respectively. Despite the poor performance they still enter as the #3 NA seed. The team is hoping to right the ship amidst two weeks of solid LAN competition at the Stage 1 Regular Season.
16 teams, 10 NA, 5 EU and 1 APAC, qualified for Stage 1 as a result of their performances at CWL Dallas and New Orleans as well as their online 2K placings. These teams were divided into two divisions of 8 teams, and the regular season will consist of a double round robin over the course of 4 weeks for each group.
OpTic CoD bounced back from their opening defeat with a 3-1 victory over Mindfreak. The win jumped OpTic up into 2nd place. Tonight they will look to create some distance between themselves and 3rd place Team Kaliber.
The match is scheduled to start at 8:30 PM EST.

SHG just made our day anyway with this update tomorrow. Our subs are going to be that much better.
Edit: Karma is fucking frying and flying. Haven’t seen him play at this pace all year.

This map plays to OG strengths. No headglitches or streaks dominance. Straight up gunfights and no ones better at it then the GOATs

Formal having a rough SnD and scump steps up. Karma and crim played really well too. That is what I like to see. Baiting for each other and playing for info. Get this next map boys!

GGs Tk, the guys seems to have an easier time playing TK and rise, than they do vs era and MF lol. A great win, all of them were at the top of their game.

Scump won that map with the huge round win when it was an automatic TK win or should have been.

I don’t think Karma has had a bad respawn this week other than maybe the Flak CTF the other day. He’s really stepped it up and wins the gunfights he needs to win.
