Clayster\u2019s \u201clast cry\u201d about having to move to Dallas for one CDL season Ben Pursell for Activision Blizzard EntertainmentMultiple-time Call of Duty world champion James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks has made one \u201clast cry\u201d of the CDL offseason, lamenting at the fact that he had to move to a different city for what turned out to be a single season. [jwplayer qYU9URvL] Winning three Home Series tournaments and the first-ever CDL World Championship should have made 2020 a season to remember for Clayster, but all that was stained by a sudden release from the Dallas Empire roster immediately following the campaign. Despite winning back-to-back world championships, Clayster found himself a free agent once more, as the league\u2019s decision to revert back to a 4v4 format left him as the odd man out of the Empire\u2019s star-studded lineup. A lot has been said about the situation by all parties involved, including the veteran himself, but now he\u2019s chipped in again with what he\u2019s calling a final \u201ccry\u201d about it. Last cry of the offseason: I still think it\u2019s hilarious I was forced to move my entire life to a different city on a dime just to get traded and sold after winning Champs \ud83e\udd23 \u2014 Clayster (@Clayster) November 1, 2020 Moving is never easy, especially when it\u2019s to a whole different area, but having to do it and then finding out a year later that you have no more ties to that city is what\u2019s been frustrating Clay, at least enough to post about it. And now, he\u2019s more than likely going to have to do it again, this time to the Big Apple, where his new team, the New York Subliners, are based in. It\u2019s not hard to see where Clay\u2019s coming from \u2013 what\u2019s stopping the same situation from striking again this time next year? In a follow-up tweet, he also wrote: \u201cI need to sit down and make a YouTube video about why K\/D is irrelevant to a team that\u2019s winning and hopefully help some people understand what it means to play for a W and not for a K\/D.\u201d While alone that comment would have been a lot more innocent, the fact that it came as a reply to his original tweet seems to suggest that he still feels strongly about being chosen to be dropped from the Empire and that it could have had something to do with his individual stats. Regardless, the world of Call of Duty moves on, and in a few month\u2019s time, the former Dallas Empire star will have to apply his trade under the yellow-and-blue banner of the Subliners. While perhaps not as stacked as Dallas, New York still boasts a strong lineup that includes established star ZooMaa, Rookie of the Year candidate Mack, and up-and-comer HyDra. Perhaps the only thing they were missing was that veteran presence with championship experience who can keep the team on the right path and perfectly serve as the \u201cglue guy\u201d \u2013 sound like someone we know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
