Following the conclusion of the match, OpTic Envoy sent out a tweet informing fans how the Call of Duty League hosts had made a major slip-up.

Unfortunately, in the FaZe vs. OpTic game, due to a typo in the email, the hosts selected the wrong server. The erroneous server was biased against OpTic, who probably had a poor ping throughout the game.
The mistake from the hosts of the largest Call of Duty tournament raises serious concerns. CDL 2021 is the second edition of the championship league, and one would expect the events to go smoothly after a year of experience. However, both fans and players were disappointed by the carelessness shown by the organizers regarding the game in question.

OpTic Chicago agrees that the server issue wasn’t the only reason it lost
While complaining about the slip-up from the CDL hosts, Envoy made sure his tweet doesn’t sound like an excuse. Throughout the three rounds, Atlanta FaZe undoubtedly seemed like the better team and certainly deserved the victory. Therefore, even if the mistake hadn’t happened in the first place, OpTic Chicago hardly stood a chance.
