FPS legend FormaL officially joins OpTic Halo lineup for HCS season

OpTic Gaming announced a shocking roster change, bringing in FPS legend Matthew ‘FormaL’ Piper, replacing Justin’iGotUrPistola‘Dees. He will join Bradley ‘aPg’ Laws, Tommy ‘Lucid’ Wilson and Joey ‘Trippy’ Taylor.

Back when FormaL retired from Call of Duty, people were patiently waiting for his next move. As a former Halo pro, people are optimistic about him competing in Halo Infinite.

Although the pro supported the Sentinels in the first HCS event of the year, it was only a temporary position on the team.

FormaL hinted that he’s still interested in playing and it’s now official as OpTic Gaming has transformed him from a content creator to a starting member of their HCS roster.
