Crimsix calls out Toronto Ultra for treatment of substitute players Call of Duty League \/ Instagram: iancrimsix[jwplayer qYU9URvL]Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter has put Call of Duty League organization Toronto Ultra on blast for \u201canti-player\u201d behavior as staff allegedly threatened to withhold payments during the inaugural season. With the very first CDL season now in the rearview mirror, all 12 organizations have been shaken up in a big way. With the transition back to a 4v4 format, every team has been forced into making drastic roster shuffles. On the back of a top-six finish during the 2020 playoffs, Toronto Ultra was quick to make its moves. The Canadian organization allowed six players to become free agents on Sep. 4, while a few key members were kept on for the 2021 season. Ben \u2018Bance\u2019 Bance, Cameron \u2018Cammy\u2019 McKilligan, Tobias \u2018CleanX\u2019 Jonsson, and Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni will all be sticking together moving forward. However, allegations the organization may be trying to \u201cunderpay\u201d their players have come to light, according to veteran player Crimsix. \u201cPissed off\u201d on September 24, Crim unloaded on the CDL org on Twitter. The CDL champion exposed \u2018threats\u2019 made to the original lineup, along with accusations of extreme prize pool splits for those remaining. This just pissed me off 1. @Loony makes the people around him better. An often ignored attribute in COD because it cannot be quantified. 2. Ultra forced their full roster of 10 to stay in Toronto in the middle of a pandemic. Threatening to not pay non-starters if they went home. pic.twitter.com\/ePMGbt07nx\u2014 FaZe Crimsix (@Crimsix) September 25, 2020 The 2020 world champion first took issue with a clip from the \u2018Canadian Esports Podcast\u2019 that looked to discredit Daniel \u2018Loony\u2019 Loza.\u201d However, the thread quickly expanded and took aim at the Toronto CDL organization as a whole. \u201cUltra forced their full roster of 10 to stay in Toronto in the middle of a pandemic,\u201d he said. \u201cThreatening to not pay non-starters if they went home.\u201d Substitutes weren\u2019t allowed to head back home if they wanted pay that was promised in their contracts. Moreover, Carson \u2018Brack\u2019 Newberry \u201chad to fight\u201d for permission to \u201creturn home for his grandpa\u2019s open-heart surgery. Having not played a single map for the organization all year, \u201cthere was absolutely no chance he would\u2019ve been subbed in,\u201d Crimsix confirmed. \u201cA full months worth of salary they aren\u2019t paying me [because] I was with my grandpa during a high-risk open-heart surgery,\u201d Brack soon followed up. With teams down-scaling for the coming Black Ops Cold War season, it appears as though Ultra is looking to make more money than ever from its player contracts. There are rumors floating behind the scenes that \u201cthese clowns are wanting a 50\/50 prize split\u201d from the new roster. All while \u201cunderpaying\u201d those that sign, according to Crimsix. \u201cIf the prize split goes up, so must the salary. This is the exact opposite of what they\u2019re doing. One of the most anti-player organizations I\u2019ve seen.\u201d While the CoD community came out in full force to support Loony \u2013 as was the original focus of the thread \u2013 few others spoke up on the broader situation at Ultra after Crimsix. We\u2019ll be sure to keep you posted if anyone from the organization issues a comment in response to the accusations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
