|content=[[Companies/OpTic Texas|OpTic Texas]] has bid farewell to veteran Call of Duty pro player Kenny, expressing their gratitude for his contributions to the team since joining the starting roster. However, recent struggles have led to his departure from the squad as the team attempts to turn their fortunes around ahead of Major II.

In the weeks leading up to the decision, OpTic Texas has faced a series of disheartening losses, culminating in one of the worst records in Call of Duty esports history. The team went through an 0-18 map streak, a dire stretch that only ended when they secured a win against LAG M8. Despite these setbacks, Kenny's performance was often called into question, with the veteran player posting one of the worst individual records on the team. In a recent series against Toronto Ultra, Kenny finished with a 0.3 KD, further fueling the growing calls from fans and analysts for his removal from the roster.

OpTic Texas’ struggles have been particularly jarring given their recent success, including a world championship win. The team’s dramatic drop to the bottom of the table has raised serious concerns about their future. Fans and critics alike have pointed to Kenny as one of the primary factors in the team's decline, with many believing his performance was directly linked to their inability to secure victories.

As Major II approaches, speculation about who will fill Kenny’s spot on the roster is rampant. One of the leading candidates is Cesar ‘Skyz’ Bueno, previously of LAG M8. Skyz, who was benched by LAG M8 amid rumors of a roster shakeup, could be a perfect fit for OpTic Texas as they seek to retool their lineup. Skyz, known for his exceptional play during the 2023 season with the New York Subliners, helped lead the team to a Major victory and a world championship title.
