ACHES criticizes \u201c$300m\u201d CDL after map forfeit at Launch Weekend MLG\/ActivisionLA Guerrillas\u2019 pro, Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price, has lashed out at the Call of Duty League after an incident which forced his team to forfeit S&D versus Minnesota R\u00d8KKR. The Call of Duty League got off to an explosive start in Minneapolis on January 24, with the first three games showcasing the very best of what Modern Warfare has to offer. From a heated eCl\u00e1sico between Chicago Huntsmen and Dallas Empire to a drama-filled bout between hosts Minnesota R\u00d8KKR and Los Angeles Guerrillas, the first day alone provided fans with plenty to talk about. However, two-time world champ, ACHES, was vocal about his team\u2019s second map forfeit versus the home side. After beating R\u00d8KKR 6-3 in Search & Destroy on Piccadilly, Price and co. were heading into Domination, intent on sweeping the series 3-0. However, in a dramatic turn of events, a member of the Guerrillas squad enabled Hardline (currently restricted according to the current competitive settings), which forced the side to forfeit the map\u2026 Leaving the series evenly poised at 1-1. After a lengthy pause, both squads resumed the series. However, the momentum seemed to swing in favor of R\u00d8KKR after the restart, and the team would go on to win back-to-back respawn game modes to close out the series. ACHES immediately weighed in on the ordeal (which proved to be a turning point in the series), by pointing the finger towards Modern Warfare developers, Infinity Ward. He didn\u2019t even have specialist on. So the perk he accidentally had on due to IW fucking up CDL rules and us having to do some workaround that caused him to have hardline on didnt even effect anything. \u2014 PATTYP (@ACHES) January 25, 2020 Us being up 2-0 Full momentum waxing their ass vs getting forfeited a bit different but alright. \u2014 PATTYP (@ACHES) January 25, 2020 The Guerrillas captain later vented his frustrations on the matter by stating: \u201cThe fact that sh*t like this happens in a 300 million dollar league is f**king insane.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/ACHES\/status\/1220931731735400448 Price wasn\u2019t the only player to be vexed by the incident, with some of his fellow teammates joining him in articulating their thoughts on Twitter. https:\/\/twitter.com\/UAquaa\/status\/1220930084552564736 https:\/\/twitter.com\/SaintsNato\/status\/1220937587713593344 Not only does hardline only affect killstreaks, he didn\u2019t even have specialist on. ALSO alexx earned spec bonus and it gives you hardline in that ALSO the CDL rules has the banned perks and left hardline unbanned \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 #RokkrKickoff \u2014 d3ce \u2614\ufe0f (@Decemate) January 25, 2020 There appears to be some confusion among pros, in light of the competitive settings receiving an update on January 23. Jacob \u2018Decemate\u2019 Cato stated that Hardline had been left \u201cunbanned\u201d despite the most recent ruleset listing the perk under the \u2018Restricted Items\u2019 list. Given the drama which ensued, Activision will likely be looking to clarify what is and isn\u2019t acceptable with pros ahead of the rest of the weekend\u2019s action.
