Thrust into a struggling roster with little Call of Duty experience, Okis wasn’t able to find the impact New York needed, finishing the season with a 0.77 overall K/D, 77.1 Slayer Rating, and 11,211 damage rating, including a 0.76 K/D in respawns and 0.93 K/D in Search & Destroy. On LAN at Major III, his numbers ticked up slightly but still lagged behind league standards for a main AR, with a 0.79 K/D and 74.2 Slayer Rating.

The results around him painted an equally difficult picture. With Okis in the lineup, Cloud9 New York failed to qualify for Major II, finished Top 12 at Minor I and Top 12 at Major III, and posted a 2-15 record online alongside a 1-2 record on LAN. For a franchise that is destined to be at the bottom, they have opted to look for more high-upside talent to gamble on to end the season.
