Atlanta FaZe has fallen into the hands of a Texas team called OpTic Texas in a decisive championship series of Call of Duty according to a Dallas Morning News article from March 6 which reports, 

“OpTic Texas is at the top of the Call of Duty world.

Defeating Atlanta FaZe 5-2 in Call of Duty League Major I at Esports Stadium Arlington Sunday, OpTic Texas captured the global gaming giant’s first tournament title since the Call of Duty League started.

OpTic Gaming hadn’t won a championship since the Call of Duty League was assembled in late 2019. High-caliber teams full of talent crumbled in the biggest moments and new players like Chris “Simp” Lehr and Tyler “aBeZy” Pharris sprung to life.

OpTic Texas is already one of the best search and destroy teams in the CDL. No fan comms needed.”

OpTic President Hector Rodriguez expressed his immense joy and satisfaction after a long internal preparation within their team according to a Dallas Morning News article from March 6. They say, 

“I couldn’t describe it if I wanted to. All I know is everything feels right,” Rodriguez told The Dallas Morning News.

“The logo is back where it belongs, which is with the green wall, and we got championships and will continue to get championships. The green wall will continue to wake up. Everybody knows it was dormant for three years and everybody was waiting around to see what would happen.”

As much as anyone else, Rodriguez got what he wanted. He got his OpTic back, and kept his professional family in the process. For Rodriguez, the whole esports team with players competing is the cherry on top of what he cared about, which was his people.

“My family sticks together no matter what and we will continue to show that,” Rodriguez said. “Sticking with Seth? That’s not even in my vocabulary. We are together and that’s how it is.”

OpTic Texas, defeating FaZe and becoming the champions, will receive a $200,000 grand prize.
