OpTic Texas slam Vegas Legion with a reverse sweep

OpTic Texas had a massive comeback against the Las Vegas Legion during week three of the Major 1 Qualifiers.

OpTic Texas’ team was among the most talked about rosters during the CDL off-season. The Green Wall recruited the two hottest free agents in Pred from Seattle Surge and World Champion Kenny from LA Thieves.

Those signings have translated into major success in the opening weekends of the Call of Duty League on the way to Major 1. OpTic Texas has only lost one match to the recent World Champions, the New York Subliners.

With all wins critical to securing the winner’s bracket, OpTic Texas was expected to come in and sweep the 1-3 Vegas Legion. However, a slow start from OpTic Texas almost resulted in a painful loss.

OpTic Texas’ Kenny breaks down Vegas Legion win

The Vegas Legion started hot against OpTic Texas with a 250-131 Hardpoint win, and then a 6-3 win in Search and Destroy. After starting out 0-2, OpTic Texas stared down the barrel of an embarrassing loss after the holiday break.

It was a loss written in the stars before the match, with Vegas Legion player Attach beating OpTic in the first matchup of the year for the past four years. However, before he could make it five, OpTic Texas gained momentum and finished the series 3-2.

“The two-game fives we lost, we feel like we beat ourselves,” said Kenny. “We had a lot of man-advantages – because we have good sub players that get first bloods. So overall, it’s about winning our man advantages while we’re up.”

OpTic Texas is currently 4-1 overall on the leaderboard, while the Vegas Legion falls to 1-4. Only a few more weeks are left in the qualifier matches before seeding is determined for Major 1.
