Maven On FormaL Potentially Leaving OpTic “[He] is going to do everything in his power to destroy OpTic Gaming at its core”
CWL commentator Clint ‘Maven’ Evans showed enormous confidence in Matthew ‘FormaL’ Piper if he were to potentially play against OpTic Gaming in the future.
With Call of Duty ‘Rostermania’ in full-swing across the entire competitive community, few changes have been questioned more than the possibility of the OpTic Gaming lineup parting ways.
Ever since their formation during the Advanced Warfare season, the roster of FormaL, Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, Ian ‘Crimsix’ Porter, and Damon ‘Karma’ Barlow seemingly created a ‘dynasty’ by winning more tournaments than any other squad by a large margin.
After being unable to bring home the CoD Champs trophy during the Black Ops 3 season, OpTic Gaming managed to win the major event on Infinite Warfare in August of 2017, cementing themselves as one of the best teams of all-time.
However, after a slow start to the CoD: WWII season, rumors have been flying around the community regarding a potential major OpTic roster change involving both FormaL and Karma leaving the organization after three years of tenure.
During the 5th episode of the ‘CoD Cast’ hosted by Anthony ‘NAMELESS’ Wheeler, Maven went on to voice his confidence that if FormaL actually does leave OpTic, he will do ‘everything in his power’ to ‘destroy them.’
“He is the only person who will come off that roster, talk shit on the old roster, and make it his mission to destroy them […] FormaL is going to try and destroy OpTic Gaming at its core, and I cannot wait.”
Maven would later make a bet with James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks that FormaL will ‘win Champs on whatever team he is on,’ however, retracted the bet later on in the show.
The full CoD Cast can be viewed below, with Maven’s comments beginning at the 53:26 mark.
