OpTic Gaming are finding success in season six of the ESL Pro League, despite being absent from several recent and upcoming offline events, such as the ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier and DreamHack Masters Malmo.
After finishing 4-0 in week one of the North American league, the mixed-European team residing in North America took the top spot in the region from SK Gaming. OpTic won close games against Splyce 2-0, but they also went 1-1 against NRG Esports and Misfits later in the week. The Green Wall now sits in first place with an 8-2 record and 24 points, and they’ll have to wait until week four of the pro league to increase their point tally.
