These teams include FaZe Clan, Team Envy, Splyce, Dallas Empire, Los Angeles Thieves and most recently, the Los Angeles Guerrillas.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">XEO Reunited. <\/p>\n<p>Welcome OpTic <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Huke?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Huke<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0rg0UAj2Pc\">pic.twitter.com\/0rg0UAj2Pc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; OpTic Texas (@OpTicTexas) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OpTicTexas\/status\/1612139733718798336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>The multi-national player, who also holds Dutch and Saudi Arabian citizenship, has displayed his prowess in both the domestic and international COD scene. <\/p>\n<p>He graced the Call of Duty World League Championship in 2018 while representing Team Envy. Huke and Team Envy were able to garner a resounding fifth-sixth place finish. Sadly, in the following year, they could only come as far as finishing in 9th-10th place at the 2019 CWL Pro League. <\/p>\n<p>Moving on to his next team, the Dallas Empire, which he joined in October 2019, he made performed better, which can be attributed to an increased work ethic. <\/p>\n<p>At the 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/call-of-duty\/league\/\">Call of Duty League<\/a> Week 2 in London, Dallas Empire came in second. A more progressive result was achieved at subsequent events, as the team painstakingly garnered back-to-back first places in Week 4 of the same event in Los Angeles, Week 6 in Chicago, and Week 12 in London and ended up being the champions of the 2020 Modern Warfare season.<\/p>\n<p>Huke will be starting off his new adventure in OpTic Gaming by reuniting with two of his former teammates from Dallas Empire, Anthony &#8220;Shotzzy&#8221; Cuevas-Castro and Indervir &#8220;iLLeY&#8221; Dhaliwal.<\/p>\n<p>OpTic Texas had a saddening run last season despite being recognized as one of the most top teams in the region. One of these poor performances was the team\u2019s inability to pass the group stage of the Call of Duty League Stage One Major. Their poor performances led to the ejection of their longtime player Brandon &#8220;Dashy&#8221; Otell and Canadian player iLLeY from the team on August 17 of last year. However, the team made a U-turn on this decision and added them back to the roster. <\/p>\n<p>The formidable OpTic Texas roster now consists of Huke, Dashy, iLLeY, 21-year-old American Anthony &#8220;Shotzzy&#8221; Cuevas-Castro, Seth &#8220;Scump&#8221; Abner and their head coach Raymond &#8220;Rambo&#8221; Lussier, who also serves as the esports outfit\u2019s general manager. <\/p>\n<p>The team is scheduled to face the Boston Breach in their Stage Two major qualifiers on Jan. 15, giving them just one week to prepare.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North American esports outfit OpTic Texas have recently completed their Call of Duty roster with the addition of American World&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":27401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[57,1649,2922,1825],"class_list":["post-27400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-call-of-duty","tag-cod-league","tag-cuyler-huke-garland","tag-optic-texas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>OpTic Texas Complete COD Roster, Adding Cuyler &quot;Huke&quot;
