On Sept. 21, Riot Games officially disclosed the list of teams that will join the VCT partnership program for 2023 after an extensive selection process consisting of an application, interviews, and financial performance reviews. OpTic Gaming, the North American organization best known for its incredibly successful Call of Duty team, unfortunately, did not make the cut. So, in the event of the organization falling short of Riot’s rigorous criteria, OpTic’s Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker got a green light from the management to explore his options for the next year.
Last night, yay revealed that OpTic has allowed him to explore new opportunities for 2023. Yay added that he will be open to opportunities in both North American and EMEA regions.
