Karma Announces His Future for the Rest of Call of Duty: WWII
By Nicholas Barth ·
The former OpTic Gaming player announced his future plans for the rest of the Call of Duty World League season for Call of Duty: WWII on his Twitch stream today.
Today, OpTic Gaming officially announced its new Call of Duty roster that saw three time world champion Damon "Karma" Barlow being dropped from the legendary roster that had secured 13 Major Championships during its three year run together with the crowning achievement being OpTic's 2017 world championship in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. The revealation that Karma would no longer be a member of the OpTic Gaming Call of Duty team came in today's episode of OpTic's documentary series Vision.
With the announcement, many members of the community began to wonder what would be the next step for the former OpTic Gaming player would be, as fans are wondering whether Karma will join a new team for the rest of the current Call of Duty World League (CWL) season for Call of Duty: WWII or if he would step down from competing until Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII. Karma recently answered these questions on his Twitch stream, as he addressed the news of his departure from the organization that he has called home for the past three years.
"It killed me. It killed me, the realization that for the first time in 10 years, I am not gonna play the rest of a season. What I said before is the scariest part about it is that not many people come back," said Karma.
With a career that has spanned a decade has included the securing of three world championships with Fariko Impact, Evil Geniuses and OpTic Gaming, it would not be shocking to see many organizations line up to bring the talents of Karma to their team for the CWL season of Black Ops IIII. However, for the time being Karma will no longer be competing in the professional scene, and at the time of this writing his future is currently unconfirmed.
(Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article stated that the former OpTic Gaming roster of Karma, Scump, Crimsix and FormaL won 18 Major Championships together. This was incorrect, as this roster won 13 Major Championships. Our changes reflect this correction.)
