Asim reveals how ZooMaa fought to keep him in CDL with New York Subliners Call of Duty League \/ ActivisionAfter a potentially career-defining performance against the Minnesota R\u00d8KKR in the CDL, Obaid \u2018Asim\u2019 Asim revealed how he might not even be in the league in the first place were it not for retired former teammate Tommy \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto. Asim joined the New York Subliners for the start of the 2021 CDL season, having spent almost the entire offseason presuming he might not even get a substitute spot. He was coming off of a disappointing season with none other than the R\u00d8KKR, and failed to shine while representing the team, leaving him somewhat lost as rostermania hit. Finally, he ended up on the New York team who were affected by ZooMaa\u2019s retirement and French wonderkid Paco \u2018HyDra\u2019 Rusiewiez\u2019s ongoing visa issues\u2026 and he\u2019s proving what he\u2019s worth and more. During the CDL Super Week, NYSL had a 1-1 record before taking on a solid Minnesota team. While opinions were split over how the matchup would go, nothing was going to stop Asim from putting on a show \u2014 and he put in a performance that many CoD pros could only dream of. In their 3-0 win, Asim had a 1.29 KD, including a 4.40 in Hardpoint, and a 9.00 in Search and Destroy. To put it simply, he was absolutely frying, giving the R\u00d8KKR absolutely no room to breathe or make something happen. The game could have been completely different, though, were it not for ZooMaa sticking his neck out for Asim. \u201cIn all honesty, if ZooMaa didn\u2019t fight for me for a 2nd time I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be a starter,\u201d he said in a tweet posted after the February 25 match. In all honesty if ZooMaa didnt fight for me for a 2nd time i dont think id be a starter. This Guy deserves all the credit \u2764\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/uq5qhK1yho\u2014 Asim (@Asim6_) February 25, 2021 Adding that the Italian Stallion deserves \u201call the credit\u201d for his standout showing, Asim is clearly well aware of how close he was to this performance not even being a possibility. ZooMaa was clearly proud of his friend too, tweeting that he\u2019s \u201ca mess\u201d after the match. Now, the pressure\u2019s on Asim to prove that while this performance may never be replicated, he still has a lot more gas in the tank. The question is, can he help make New York legitimate championship threats? If he carries on this way, it\u2019s looking very likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
