OpTic star Brandon Dashy Otell has responded to Doug Censor Martin, after Censor suggested that the 24-year-old is repeating his mistakes and needs to take accountability before his career is gone without winning more championships.
Dashy has been considered a star player in professional CoD ever since he made his debut as a teenager. As Censor states, he is one of the straightest shooters the esport has produced.
However, on the season-end episode of Dexertos Reverse Sweep podcast, Censor called out his former Complexity teammate, telling him to stop playing for kills, and recognize his chances for glory are slipping away.

Dashy, seeing the comments, has hit back at Censor, calling his criticisms bullish*t.
Censor spoke at length about Dashy, criticizing his decision-making, but also saying it came from a place of love.
Im calling out Dashy right now, Censor started. All I see in Brandon is the embodiment of the OpTic Gaming culture, that [Scump] always sets. And I have a huge fundamental disagreement with it, and I think Brandon is the biggest issue here.

Brandon is always getting everything he wants, I think hes the straightest shooter in Call of Duty history, hes such a likable guy, and he uses all of it to his advantage, to get whatever he wants. And all its equated to is lackluster champs performances, zero rings, and two championships in five years.
Censor then listed all the great players that Dashy had the fortune of playing with, including Shotzzy, iLLeY, and Huke, but said the problem was the OpTic culture.

Brandon is the biggest culprit of this culture [] you got to start playing to win, you got to stop playing for kills, youve got to start being more of a team player. [] You gotta change your ways, man. You continuously repeat the same mistakes, over and over and over again. Youve been benched countless times. You keep on getting bailouts from Hector, he keeps bringing you back up.
Youve got to take your accountability, Brandon. Im saying this in terms of love because I believe in Brandon, I love Brandon, I think hes a great dude. Straightest shot in CoD, thats some wasted talent if you dont get a ring bro. Youre only going to get that ring if you change the way youre going about it.

Despite Censor arguing that his criticisms were out of love and friendship for him, Dashy was not enamored by the undeniably harsh words.
A quick response, he suggested Censor was only calling him out to maintain relevance.
Say whatever bs to stay relevant in this community because the gameplay surely isnt doing it brotha, he said, attaching a thumbs up to the end.
Censor was quick to bite back, taunting Dashy, Hopefully I get mine soon and I can put you in the place you deserve to be.

Censor is currently the captain of Boston Breachs Academy roster and will be aiming to make a return to the top level next season.
Meanwhile, whats next for Dashy remains up in the air, with his spot on the OpTic roster uncertain.
