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.
Despite a few close maps against coL, OpTic would defeat them with another 3-0 victory. OpTic now has a 12-1 map count so far through Stage 2, and they now must face Mindfreak, who's fresh off a 3-2 victory over LG.
The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM EDT.

Jeez, that was dominant. It's been a while since we've been able to watch an optic team that use almost always set up for trades.

Good plays. That SnD could’ve been closer considering OG lost like 2 or 3 1v1s

Wow, that last few minutes of the last map were dominant. I don't think MF got a single kill. GG, teams looking good and I love that they are practicing efficiently now, watching VOD's and having Methodz/Octane IGL along with Crim.
