Minnesota R\u00d8KKR replace Attach ahead of CDL Major 4 Qualifiers Call of Duty LeagueMinnesota R\u00d8KKR sent a shockwave through the CDL community, benching Dillon \u201cAttach\u201d Price for Kevin \u2018Fame\u2019 Bonanno days before Major 4 Qualifiers. After placing third at CDL Major 2, Minnesota\u2019s form dipped tremendously in Stage 3. R\u00d8KKR dropped all five Qualifier matches and didn\u2019t win a map against LA Thieves in the first round of CDL Major 3. Despite entering the season with high expectations, and a star-studded lineup, Minnesota announced a major roster change for Stage 4. Minnesota R\u00d8KKR Academy star Fame gets his first crack at the CDL, replacing star AR Attach. Minnesota R\u00d8KKR bench Attach ahead of Major 4 Qualifiers Attach finished 2022 with the league\u2019s third-best KD, 1.20, earning CDL All-Star second-team honors. Going just off basic stats provided by Breaking Point, his MW2 SnD performances slightly wavered, but his KD stayed above positive in Hardpoint and Control. And besides his numbers on paper, Attach provides plenty of championship pedigree, becoming the youngest player to ever win a CoD World Championship in 2015 at the age of 18. Attach dominated as a league-leading SMG player before transitioning to an AR role during CoD Vanguard. Meanwhile, Fame has had a red-hot start to MW2, winning the Elite Stage 1 playoffs and placing second at two CDC Open events with the Minnesota R\u00d8KKR Academy. Minnesota R\u00d8KKR coaches Daniel \u2018Loony\u2019 Loza and Brian \u2018Saintt\u2019 addressed fans in their decision-making process behind a roster change. Cameron \u201cCammy\u201d McKilligan takes over as Minnesota\u2019s main AR in place of Attach, while Fame will be a flex. Saintt spoke highly of Fame\u2019s ability to transition into a pro roster. \u201cHe is a player I have been really high on for over a year now, especially watching the CCL,\u201d Sainnt explained. \u201cHe is an incredible player with an incredible mind for the game which is why I was really interested in bringing him on ROKKR at the tail end of the Vanguard season.\u201d Saintt believes Fame will be a perfect \u201cglue guy\u201d capable of blocking spawns, picking uphill time, or doing whatever dirty work Minnesota needs to win. \u201cThere were times where everyone was trying to do too much on the map and I think with Kev, we are going to have a lot more freedom for players like Cam and Marcus to run around and do what they want.\u201d Minnesota currently holds a 20-point lead over Vegas in the CDL standings for the final CoD Champs berth. Based on how the team performs at the Home Series and in Stage 4, Loony didn\u2019t rule out further changes to ensure Champs qualification. \u201cIf further change is needed, we will make it because we want to compete for championships.\u201d This change comes right before Minnesota hosts Major 4 Qualifer matches in front of its home crowd. On Saturday, April 1, The R\u00d8KKR will host the Florida Mutineers and LA Guerrillas for a LAN event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
