After OpTic Gaming dropped aPG from its Halo roster following their second-place finish heartbreak at Worlds, predictions as to who could replace him on the lineup all pointed to the same player. A month later, those predictions have been confirmed officially.
On Dec. 7, OpTic announced Zane “Deadzone” Hearon, formerly known as Penguin, was joining its Halo Infinite roster for year three of the HCS alongside FormaL, Lucid, and Trippy. It’s OpTic’s first roster move in almost two years, and Deadzone’s first since Cloud9 signed his previous lineup back in 2020. In many ways, it’s a fresh start for both parties—one that is sorely needed if any team is going to compete against FaZe Clan, who put on an impressive display of dominance at the World Championships.
