OpTic victorious at Halo World Championship 2017
OpTic players proved once more that they are the strongest roster in the world after winning the second consecutive Halo World Championship, having won the first one under CLG label last year.
Despite the many challenges in teams like Team EnVyUs and Team Liquid, Bradley “Frosty” Bergstrom and co had the final say in the championship. OpTic’s performance during HWC has been one of the greatest in the game’s history winning 22 maps and only losing in two.
Team EnVyUs got the chance to dethrone OpTic Gaming, a team they know very well. EnVyUs-OpTic matches are dubbed ‘eClásico’, a playful spin on soccer’s El Clásico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. This matchup was no classic, however. Although the scores were close, OpTic’s skill was just too much; EnVyUs didn’t win a single game as OpTic rolled to a another series sweep.
Royal2 and SnakeBite led the way for OpTic over the tournament, finishing with the top two kill/death ratios. Royal2 concluded HWC with an unthinkable 1.55, while SnakeBite posted a 1.37 ratio. SnakeBite was also the leader in kills per game, averaging 15.04.
the 2017 Halo World Championship was a great event with incredible matches from start to finish. With a few events announced for this year, and the upcoming HWC being planned fans are hopeful and even confident that Halo will have a strong future in Esports.
