Karma To 100Thieves? Razer Twitter Hints At Nadeshot's Fourth COD Player

Yesterday, we reported the news that Methodz had unfollowed his teammates Scump & Crimsix on Twitter, leading us to believe that he’d been dropped from OpTic Gaming. Shortly after, Octane announced that he’d been dropped from OpTic Gaming and would be joining Kenny and Fero on Nadeshot’s organisation, 100Thieves. With one spot left to fill, Razer - the gaming peripheral company - may have leaked the final player.

Earlier today, Razer followed Octane, Fero and Kenny on Twitter. It makes sense since they’re a direct partner of 100Thieves and the roster is a new acquisition. Shortly afterwards, they also followed Damon ‘Karma’ Barlow, ex-OpTic Gaming player and long-time Call of Duty veteran. It’s been speculated for months, ever since he was dropped from OpTic, that Karma would follow Nadeshot and now it looks almost certain.

It would make sense, as Karma is so experienced in Call of Duty and has been around for far longer than his potential three teammates. He could easily play the role of in-game leader and has the experience the otherwise young roster needs. Razer have also done something similar in the past, for example when 100Thieves signed a Clash Royale team, Razer followed all of the players one-by-one on Twitter.

There’s a lot of speculation going around that Call of Duty esports may move to a 5v5 model for Black Ops 4, in which case 100Thieves will need to pick up another player after Karma. Could Methodz be the one due to the problems within OpTic? We shouldn’t have too long to find out as the game launches next month.
