Twitch Streamer CouRage Parts Ways with OpTic Gaming

Friday, November 16th saw OpTic Gaming announce on the official subreddit for the esports organization that it and Popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber Jack "CouRage" Dunlop have agreed to mutually part ways. 

The announcement post regarding the leaving of CouRage from the OpTic Gaming organization explains that due to the immense growth the content creator has seen for his individual brand, which has the potential to cause situations where sponsors want to sponsor a specific individual and not the entire organization, that the departure between the two parties was a situation that they had discussed even before CouRage had joined the organization.

At the time of this writing, CouRage has not publicly addressed his official departure from OpTic. However, he will be involved with an ask me anything session on the organization's subreddit once he has wrapped up his stream for Friday, November 16th. 

CouRage had joined OpTic Gaming back in March after leaving his position as a commentator for the Call of Duty World League during the 2018 season for Call of Duty: WWII. Since joining the popular esports organization, CouRage has become one of the most popular streamers on Twitch with a strong focus on Fortnite Battle Royale while also growing and sustaining a very popular YouTube channel. 

Having recently reached the impressive milestone of 1,000,000 followers on Twitch, it is not too surprising to see the individual brand CouRage has built reaching a point where it was the best decision for himself and OpTic Gaming for both parties to mutually part ways.

While many will likely be sad to see a popular member of the organization leave, OpTic Gaming fans can be happy to see that the partnership between CouRage and OpTic Gaming was a very successful one and that there is no bad blood between the two parties as they both move on to the future.
