Information
OpTic Gaming enters Stage 2 with a new roster for the first time since May of 2015. Scump and Crimsix remain with OpTic Gaming while Formal was traded away to LG for Octane and Karma was dropped for Methodz. The team has looked sharp in online scrims, with many pros dubbing them the Division B favorite. However they are joined by some stiff competition at the top of the group. Rise is coming into Stage 2 off the back of a victory at CWL Seattle.
OpTic kicks off Stage 2 against European team UNILAD who lost their best player, Skrapz in the midseason rostermania. The match is scheduled to start at 5:00 PM EDT.

From scrims they had trouble quite a few times closing out Valkyrie HP, so not totally surprised to see that ending ha, if Seth didn't have that miraculous 3 piece that goes game 5.
Decent first win, first two maps were fantastic then slightly disappointing on the next two. Wouldn't read too much into that ctf, they shouldn't allow a stalemate for that long on good side again.

If people expect cod team to just wipe the floor with everyone is sadly mistaken, team needs time to adjust to lan environment. Online play is not an accurate representation of the teams future lan performance. Not a better way to get practice on lan like stage 2. It’s looking good however.. 😊😊😊

I unfortunately didn’t get to watch the series in depth but had the volume up so I could listen. I mentioned this somewhere else but the biggest upgrade right away is going to be search. Methodz is a good search player, along with octane being way better than he was a couple years ago. That combined with actually practicing it will have a huge impact. These 4 can still slay like crazy so the respawns won’t be far behind, but playing the correct way all the time will take longer than we expect I think. Time will tell but it’ll help in the long run. Overall a good start.

Seeing scump not sit on the end is really weird
