OpTic Gaming Changes its CS:GO Roster Once Again

The North American esports club OpTic Gaming announced changes in its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squad just after two month after presenting a completely new roster. This time the organization changes two players and the team’s coach.

The team has added two Danish players to the main roster – Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer and Jakob "JUGi" Hansen, who were transferred from Heroic and will replace Shahzeeb "ShahZaM" Khan and the team’s former captain Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz. The team also says goodbye to its former coach Chet "ImAPet" Singh and welcomes his replacement Casper "ruggah" Due, who previously worked as coach for Team Dignitas and North. The future of three excluded members is unknown at the moment, but according to the organization’s statement they are working to help them to find their home homes.
