It seems like Optic Gaming wasn’t a good fit for Chris “Parasite” Duarte, who less than a week after joining the squad, has announced his official departure from the team. This move comes as a shock after Parasite joined following Seth “Scump” Abner’s own voluntary departure, which left the team even more fragmented after BigTymer announced his own retirement from competitive gaming. Fans were assuming that Optic had finally found it’s competitive charge after completing the roster with Clayster and Parasite, but it seemed that there were issues after Parasite’s joining, a fact that is obvious after he posted his regrets on Twitter.
I left OpTic. Yes, it is true

I’m gonna make a video in regards as to why this last week and a half was the worst decision of my CoD career LOL. — Chris Duarte (@OpTicPara) January 13, 2014
The OpTic life wasn’t for me however, I have nothing but good things to say about the organization. Seeing it work was nuts. — Chris Duarte (@OpTicPara) January 13, 2014
I wasn’t happy. At least I was honest and didn’t stay for the benefits of being on OpTic.

Now, Optic Gaming is left to once again find a fourth to fill its pro roster before the Call of Duty Championship. As of right now, the roster consists of Nadeshot, Ricky, and Clayster. No further information has been revealed. Clayster, who joined the team after leaving Team Kaliber, expressed his own happiness toward his new position on Optic, stating that he has no plans to go anywhere. Can Optic find a permanent fourth to help them prepare for the $1 million Call of Duty Championship?
Keep an eye out for later updates concerning Optic Gaming’s new fourth.

Hey, Phoenix! I don’t know if you’d be interested, but there is a fan project for making a sequel for Banjo Tooie going on right now. It’s called Project Imagination. But in order for the project to succeed, it needs some volunteers. The list of what the project needs can be found here:

If you don’t want to help with anything listed on that post, then the next best way to help is by getting the word out.The more people that now about it, the more likely the project will get volunteers. Of course, if you don’t want to help, that’s fine too. No one has to do something that they don’t want to!
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll definitely check it out and probably do a write-up for it. 🙂
You’re welcome! Thanks!
