To say that the OpTic Gaming dynasty ended on good terms would be a bald-faced lie, despite fairytale dreams that the greatest roster in Call of Duty history could one day sit on the same couch and reminisce. 

The roster of Seth "Scump" Abner, Damon "Karma" Barlow, Ian "Crimisx" Porter, and Matthew "FormaL" Piper have a combined 13 major championship trophies to their name, with another five attributed to the dynasty with stand-ins from Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag and Ian "Enable" Wyatt.

The OpTic dynasty was topped off with a World Championship win in the Infinite Warfare era, crowning the roster as the best team to ever grace the game. 

However, as the team split, Crimsix was left as an outcast, falling out with best-man-to-be Scump and his AR duo FormaL. 

With Crim heading to Dallas Empire, the now-three-time world champion has a more than a frayed relationship with his former dynasty teammates. Even though he and Scump have set their differences aside to form an unofficial players union, it appears the ever-vocal FormaL has not buried the hatchet. 

FormaL Claims OpTic Should Have Dropped Crimsix In Black Ops 3

Speaking in an OpTic content series FormaL was faced with the question of "who do you wish you dropped but never did?" in which he immediately answered "Crimsix".

The OpTic Chicago man also added that they should have dropped Crimsix during the Black Ops 3 era, which would have seen the dynasty ripped apart prior to their Infinite Warfare triumph.

As the clip went viral, the two pros headed to Twitter to continue the real-life blows at each other. Crimsix opened the dialogue by claiming that if he was dropped in Black Ops 3 he would have simply joined the championship-winning nV roster instead of Jordan "JKap" Kaplan. However, FormaL was quick to correct the fantasy, pointing out that in reality, he cost OpTic a crucial tie by incorrectly using his Active Camo at champs.

By pointing out that Crim "failed", Porter quickly answered back by pointing out that FormaL failed to split his IW MVP winnings with the team like they previously agreed. Crim added, "Imagine scumming your brothers out of $6-7k because of pure selfishness."

FormaL hit back saying that "You should just be happy you got a free ring for literally doing meh the whole tournament", insinuating that they carried Crimsix to a much bigger winning than the $6-7,000 payout from the MVP winnings.

The two ended the conflict with Crimsix pointing out that he would never have got his third World Championships ring should he never have been dropped by OpTic and picked up by Dallas Empire. 

Whilst FormaL took the last swing by calling the ring into dispute as it was won online, rather than on LAN. 

It appears that we'll never see the most beloved roster in Call of Duty history put their differences aside for a warm reunion, despite three of the four competing together again
