OpTic Texas has unceremoniously brought on Huke to replace Pred for this weekend’s Call of Duty<\/em> League matches with very little fanfare, and fans are questioning the secrecy behind the move.<\/p>
Yesterday, Pred’s potential removal from the reigning CDL champs’ starting lineup was talked about across social media<\/a>. Not long after, OpTic posted on Twitter\/X, confirming that Huke was back with the squad after spending the last season-plus with Vancouver Surge. Far from an official announcement, however, the promotional image simply showed Huke with the rest of the OpTic squad, minus Pred.<\/p>

Both OpTic fans and CDL fans in general are wondering the deal is with the move, especially with unsubstantiated rumors swirling online<\/a> about Pred dealing with gambling-related issues outside of the game, leaving the community to question the situation.<\/p>
“No welcome to OpTic or anything?” one reply said<\/a> of Huke, who returns to the OpTic organization for the first time since June 2023. Meanwhile, the post neglected to mention Pred at all. Another post<\/a> simply posted a photo of Huke focused on his monitor while playing with OpTic.<\/p>
\u201cI don\u2019t really know what to say, guys,\u201d Scump said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not really involved in any of those talks. All that I know is that it\u2019s personal reasons and it\u2019s not really my place to talk about it, so I don\u2019t really wanna talk about it.\u201d<\/p>
Update on Dec. 13 at 3:30pm CT: <\/strong>The CDL broadcast opened up the show talking about Huke joining OpTic, but did not discuss the reasoning behind it, or Pred in general much at all. Check out the clip<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
