OpTic Gaming wins Gears Pro Circuit Atlantic City Open

A win in CWL Dallas, Halo World Championship, and now Gears of War sets OpTic Gaming as the Esports organization with the best shooter teams in the world.

The second-place finish at the last LAN event only provided the team with motivation, as the best roster in Gears of War 4 is back on top. OpTic Gaming emerged victorious at this weekend’s Gears Pro Circuit Atlantic City Open, taking home the championship and $70,000.

Following their loss in the finals to Team EnVyUs at the Gears Pro Circuit Mexico City Open in January, OpTic Gaming made a slight roster change, replacing Chris “Lava” Anderson with Nicholas “Red Icy” Cope. This slight change was more than enough to give OpTic the momentum to reach the finals unscathed, as they had it perfect right up to the end of the tournament, going undefeated in pool play without dropping a single map.

OpTic defeated EnVyUs 2-0 in the winner-take-all series to clinch the Atlantic City Open championship taking home the title and the prize money of this $200k event. The next stop on the Gears Pro Circuit will be the Gfinity Paris Open, which takes place May 5 to 7. Congrats to OpTic!
