Octane Leaves OpTic Gaming, Joins 100 Thieves New Roster

It seems that just when you think Rostermania is going to swing one way, it turns right around and surprises you. We’d previously talked about the signs that OpTic Gaming might lose Anthony “Methodz” Zinni, but it looks like the real announcement was hiding just around the corner the whole time. In a post made just minutes ago on Twitter, OpTic Gaming Sam “Octane” Larew have parted ways, with the CoD star opting to join 100 Thieves.

As it stands right now, 100 Thieves does not have a complete roster for Call of Duty, with only three players currently signed to the team. However, 100 Thieves Founder and CEO Nadeshot seems to believe that the move was the right one, posting on Twitter his own interactions with the star.

This was the first DM I received from @Octane_ immediately after he signed his contract to join @100Thieves for Black Ops 4. I love this guy already. Let’s get it. #100T pic.twitter.com/2KLQtN1322

Larew himself took to Twitter to thank OpTic Gaming for his time on the team, before announcing his high aims for the new 100 Thieves roster.

Thank you to @OpTicGaming for everything they’ve done for me over the last few months; an unfortunate ending but we made some great memories. It’s time to set my sights on bringing home a championship for @100Thieves and all of you guys. #HonorAmongThieves

This is undoubtably not the end of Rostermania for the time being, and 100 Thieves still need to find another player to round out their roster. It will be interesting to see who else they pick up, and who OpTic Gaming find to replace their former talent.
