Crim shared that the Empire apparently wanted to bring back Clayster to replace Huke, but the deal fell through. Ever since Dallas dropped Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland, controversy spiked as outsiders were very confused about the team\u2019s decision to drop a player who seemed so instrumental to their success. Things changed when Huke came out with a video talking about his issues with Adderall last year. Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter responded saying that Huke\u2019s struggle with Adderall had absolutely nothing to do with the decision to drop him. Crim also said he issued a cease and desist against Huke and would provide a video fully explaining the situation. In a series of July 26 tweets, Crimsix gave details on his response video and said it will come after CoD Champs due to some legal reasons. But fans were most interested in another point he mentioned: Dallas initially wanted to bring James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks back for Huke, while moving Indervir \u2018iLLeY\u2019 Dhaliwal to SMG. The reunion that almost was Crimsix finally gave the CoD community more details regarding his team\u2019s roster decision earlier this season. Crim said in a tweet that they wanted to bring back former teammate and three-time World Champ, Clayster. Crim detailing some of the Huke situation since his video hasn\u2019t been cleared yet. Apparently the Dallas Empire initially wanted to trade for @Clayster and move @iLLeYYY to SMG this season. pic.twitter.com\/2x7uRBvken \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) July 26, 2021 This move was intended to have iLLeY swap over to the SMG role and Clayster would take over the AR position. In the meantime, the team used Tyler \u2018FeLo\u2019 Johnson, and Crim noted that the team made FeLo aware that he would be a part-time stand in. Trade talks fell through for Dallas after the New York Subliners finished second at Major 3. Crimsix called the roster situation \u201cunfortunate.\u201d Heading into the final week of Stage 5 NYSL announced Clayster would be taking the week off to focus on his mental health. There were rumors, that started on the CDL Podcast \u201cThe Flank,\u201d that Clay quit on his teammates. Some fans now suggest that Clayster might be upset that the trade with Empire fell through and was denied a chance to reunite with his teammates he won Champs with a year ago. Back when the Empire announced they would be dropping Clay heading into the 4v4 season, the three-time World Champ said he was disappointed and \u201cpretty heartbroken with how things turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crimsix reveals Empire wanted \u201cFifth Man\u201d Clayster back after dropping Huke Call of Duty League \/ Dallas EmpireDallas Empire player Crimsix has revealed more details regarding the team\u2019s situation with Huke.
