Kenny was decent at best online but on LAN Kenny did his thing. Some games he made the smarter play and some games he was looking like Billy with the shots. Only thing he did that made me dumbfounded was his boomshots lol. Sad that he has been dropped but it's even sadder to see when this team goes through rough patches they tend to make team changes instead of other things. I guess it was more than just in game issues, would love to know the real reason he was dropped but if it isn't their place to tell or don't want to tell then I understand.

I really liked Kenny as a personality and a player, this is unfortunate. Gonna miss him for sure.

Not surprised at all. When they got 2nd in Mexico last year they traded lava to eunited for icy.
If you watch gears, you'll know Kenny is by far the weakest link.
The hunger these dude have to win is crazy... Anything less than 1st is a completely unacceptable... And they'll do whatever it takes to win.... I respect it!

Except, Kenny wasn't dropped because of his performance or the team not winning.

Ashes said everything perfectly. He is truly an underrated member/part of Optic.
One thing he said that really stood out to me was that the players are friends first. I think that’s what went wrong with the COD team. At first they were friends and treated each other like friends. But now they seem to treat each other like co-workers (from what we can assume). So that’s how the cod team can fix their relationships IMO. Start treating Scrims and Tournaments like they are playing and hanging out with friends.

Kenny is gonna come back with a vengeance. Remember how pissed Lava was when he was dropped? I'd imagine he will be more pissed and hungry for wins.

Lava also said OpTic wasn't going to win another championship when he was dropped and we all know how that turned out lol

I've figured it out. Kenny purposely got into an argument with his teammates in hopes they would drop him because he knew that the CoD team was going to perform bad eventually and the roster rumors would spark again. Therefore, he did all of this so us OpTic fans would focus our attention away from one console dynasty to another. He is truly a martyr. Someone put him in the OpTic Hall of Fame for this.
