OpTic Texas is reportedly making a significant roster change early in the 2024-2024 Call of Duty League season. Star player Pred is expected to be benched, with former OpTic player Huke, currently with Vancouver Surge, set to take his place.

The news emerged through social media channels, with OpTic content creator Scump addressing the situation on his stream. While not directly involved in the decision-making, Scump mentioned the change was due to "personal reasons" but declined to elaborate further.

Unconfirmed reports suggest potential gambling-related issues surrounding Pred, with alleged screenshots circulating showing requests for money and betting assistance. OpTic has not officially commented on these claims.

The timing of this move is particularly notable as OpTic Texas currently holds a 1-1 record in the Major One qualifier. Huke's current team, Vancouver Surge, also stands at 1-1, though Huke hasn't participated in their matches this season.

Teammate Shotzzy appeared to reference the situation with a cryptic Twitter/X post showing Spider-Man walking through a battlefield, though no direct statement was made.

The organization has not yet released an official statement regarding the roster change.
