|content=OpTic Gaming has once again cemented its place in Call of Duty history, claiming the Esports World Cup title in Riyadh after a commanding 4-0 sweep over Vancouver Surge in the grand final. The win marks a continuation of OpTic’s dominance in 2024, coming just weeks after the team secured its second consecutive Call of Duty League Championship title in Kitchener.

With this latest victory, OpTic becomes the first team to win both COD Champs and the Esports World Cup in the same season—an unprecedented achievement in the competitive Call of Duty scene. “It’s been an incredible run,” said one team member in a post-match interview. “We’ve had our ups and downs, but the way we’ve finished this season speaks volumes about our resilience.”

The road to the title wasn’t without its challenges. While [[Companies/OpTic Gaming|OpTic Gaming]] sailed through the group stage with flawless 2-0 victories over Five Fears and Cloud9, the playoffs brought higher stakes and tougher matchups. One of the tournament’s most dramatic moments came in the semifinal against Team Heretics, where OpTic pulled off a stunning reverse sweep. After losing a nail-biting 250-249 Hardpoint and choking a 5-1 lead in Search and Destroy, the squad rallied to take the final three maps, including a nail-biting finish in Control on Hacienda.

OpTic then advanced to face Vancouver Surge—a familiar foe from the CDL Championship final. Despite a challenging season that included multiple runner-up finishes, Surge once again found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreline. OpTic’s clean 4-0 sweep in Riyadh underscored the team’s momentum and cohesion during this dominant summer stretch.
