ACHES joins surprise CDL Challengers team following Guerrillas release Call of Duty League[jwplayer br5AuoVJ] Two-time Call of Duty world champion Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price appears to have found a new home in the CDL Challengers circuit less than a week after his release from the Los Angeles Guerrillas. A 10-year veteran, ACHES boasted an illustrious CoD career before getting benched by the Guerrillas in March 2020 and subsequently released in July. But he has surprised everyone, including himself, by suddenly joining a new CDL Challengers roster that will automatically be qualifying for Challengers Finals. As first mentioned by fellow vet Christopher \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte, who plays for Five Star in Challengers, ACHES will indeed be playing competitively this summer. This, and the new roster he\u2019ll be playing with, has since been confirmed to Dexerto directly by new teammate, Michael \u2018Apox\u2019 Williams. The roster will include ACHES, Apox, SpaceLy, ProFeeZy, and TcM \u2013 a team with a lot of experience, as each player has been in either the pro or amateur competitive scene for over five years. Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2018 Price – Michael \u2018Apox\u2018 Williams – Christopher \u2018ProFeeZy\u2018 Astudillo – Michael \u2018Spacely\u2018 Schmale – Teegan \u2018TcM\u2018 McCarthy – In a Reddit comment, ACHES dove into the logic behind his surprisingly quick return to competitive play. While many had been hoping for him to drop the sticks and pick up the microphone for CDL Champs this August, he explained that the opportunity was too good to pass up. Upon being contacted by Spacely, a fellow pro since 2012, he decided that, having not played competitively since the end of February, \u201cit would be fun\u201d to join up and compete \u201cfor the sake of something to do and attempt to make some cash.\u201d Part of the reason that it\u2019ll be so easy to try and sneak away with some summer cash is that this lineup should auto-qualify for Challengers Finals based on Pro Points alone. ACHES claims to have 40,000 Pro Points, which would put him well within the top 30 of the Challengers\u2019 individual standings. Even if he is able to tap into the $250,000 NA Challengers prize pool, which awards $50,000 for first place before evening out substantially, it\u2019s unclear whether he\u2019ll look to move into a broadcast role or try and join another CDL team for the 2021 season and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
