Clayster hits out at \u201cpathetic\u201d CDL fans roasting players who are struggling CDL\/ActivisionNew York Subliners pro James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks has hit out at \u201cpathetic\u201d Call of Duty League fans roasting struggling players via Reddit. Despite his continued presence in the upper echelons of competitive Call of Duty, NYSL veteran Clayster has been open about his struggles during a CDL season that has been entirely online to this point. Despite the obvious preference for LAN, the ongoing global health crisis has pushed the CDL\u2019s second season online, and many players have spoken about the negative impacts of this change. Another who has struggled is Sam \u2018Octane\u2019 Larew, whose Seattle Surge roster continue to suffer in spite of roster changes. Despite being one of the world\u2019s best players in Black Ops 4, he has not experienced any success in the CDL so far. Another loss for the Surge saw waves of criticism for Octane on Reddit, something Clayster took note of, and condemned. \u201cShit like this kinda makes me mad,\u201d he said, \u201ceven with me bringing up the strain of doing all this online, we still have a Reddit thread of people cooking someone struggling. It\u2019s pathetic, do better.\u201d Online play brings a dimension of uncertainty to CoD, with internet connection and other variables becoming important in every single gunfight. It makes consistency more difficult, and explains why so many players are excited for LAN\u2019s return at the Stage 4 Major. Shit like this kinda makes me mad, even with me bringing up the strain of doing all this online, we still have a reddit thread of people cooking someone struggling it’s pathetic, do better.https:\/\/t.co\/V5H4Jr8Ic2 \u2014 Clayster (@Clayster) June 4, 2021 The thread showcased on Octane tweet, which reads: \u201cI hate online Call of Duty so much. I can\u2019t believe I haven\u2019t completely lost my mind yet.\u201d Comments quickly built up targeting Octane and his team for their difficult season, with many users throwing insults the way of the Seattle AR. And of course people interpret this tweet as me saying we\u2019d never lose on LAN lmao. Literally has zero to do with it I\u2019m just over the covid online crap \u2014 Sam \u201cOctane\u201d Larew (@OctaneSam) June 4, 2021 Octane actually responded to the comments, saying: \u201cIt actually impresses me the reaches this sub takes. This tweet has absolutely nothing to do with our results whatsoever,\u201d instead mentioning how he also hasn\u2019t seen his friends and family throughout the year. Clayster was not the only to condemn the comments, either. Pros like Accuracy and Prestinni weighed in, suggesting that fans \u201cdon\u2019t care\u201d when venting their opinions. While fans are certainly entitled to voice their opinions, some argue criticism can go too far, especially when online CoD can have such an impact on players\u2019 success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
