In a win-or-go-home situation, OpTic Texas showed their mettle in a come-from-behind victory over the Minnesota RØKKR today, eliminating Minnesota from the Call of Duty League New York Major in 3-2 fashion.
After a narrow defeat in the series’ third map, Tuscan Control, OpTic faced a 2-1 deficit and started map four slowly. They were down to Minnesota 69-12 in the Gavutu Hardpoint after the game’s second hill and were getting outplayed at every turn. But iLLeY went on a tear to give the Green Wall almost 60 seconds of Hardpoint time, bringing the score nearly even. From that point on, Texas played extremely well, sending the series to a fifth and final map with a 250-204 win.
