Karma Does Not Believe that OpTic Gaming Will Win the 2018 CoD Championship

Damon "Karma" Barlow was a member of the OpTic Gaming roster that consisted of Ian "Crimsix" Porter, Seth "Scump" Abner and Matthew "Formal" Piper and was a major contributor to helping the team secure 13 major championships during their time playing together, including the 2017 Call of Duty Championship for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. 

However, the dominant OpTic Gaming roster failed to find the same success during the 2018 Call of Duty World League season for Call of Duty: WWII, which resulted in the organization deciding to make major changes to the team. These changes saw Karma and Formal being released from the team in favor of Sam "Octane" Larew and Anthony "Methodz" Zinni. 

Karma went on to announce that we would no longer be competing professionally in WWII and would possibly be looking to return to the competitive scene in the upcoming entry in the first person shooter franchise of Black Ops 4.

The former member of OpTic Gaming's team has since stayed with the organization as a streamer. During a recent stream of his, while playing the Battle Royale game Islands of Nyne, Karma explained how he does not think that the current OpTic Gaming roster will win the 2018 Call of Duty Championship when asked by a viewer. 

CWL Anaheim was the first major LAN event that the new roster played together and the team failed to get past 5th-6th, thus leading members of the community to believe that the new roster would need to secure at least one title in order for them to stay together for Black Ops 4. 

OpTic Gaming's current roster of Scump, Crimsix, Octane and Methodz will have two last chances to secure a championship in the 2018 CWL season for WWII with the upcoming CWL Pro League Season 2 Playoffs and the 2018 Call of Duty Championship.
