issues are starting to build up once again for the North Americans. James \u201chazed\u201d Cobb is leaving OpTic's active roster and will take a break until he\u2019s offered a contract to play competitively. Hazed was initially a coach until he acted as a stand-in for Jason \u201cJasonR\u201d Ruchelski, who left the team to focus on his Twitch stream. Chet \u201cImAPet\u201d Singh signed on as the new coach of OpTic to replace hazed after ESL One Cologne in July. Hazed is the third player to vacate a spot on the active roster this year, following Peter \u201cstanislaw\u201d Jarguz\u2019s signing with Team Liquid in February and JasonR\u2019s return to streaming in June. The organization cited \u201croster uncertainty, lack of performance, and internal frustrations\u201d as the biggest challenges for their Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster. Related: ImAPet confirmed as the new coach for OpTic Gaming OpTic may face another player departure in the near future, as Oscar \u201cmixwell\u201d Ca\u00f1ellas may be the next to go. Mixwell has mentioned many times that he doesn\u2019t like filling the AWP role for the team, and at the same time, he misses his home in Spain. Hector \u201cH3CZ\u201d Rodriguez, the CEO of the organization, understands mixwell\u2019s situation, and hopes he can work out the kinks for the benefit of his star AWPer. \u201cIf he misses home, I\u2019m never ever going to keep him back from that,\u201d H3CZ said in the organization\u2019s recent Vision episode on YouTube. \u201cI care more about his well-being than anything else.\u201d Despite the apparent problems that OpTic has suffered throughout 2017, things may start to look up for them in the latter half of the year if they pick up one or two solid players.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/11151836\/7b49ce55-2f60-4a72-a1ff-f99c989d61d5.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11993"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/966"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11993"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":412904,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11993\/revisions\/412904"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11993"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=11993"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=11993"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=11993"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
