Dallas Empire sign Vivid from Guerrillas to round out CDL Stage 4 roster Call of Duty LeagueThe Dallas Empire have officially secured their newest starter for the Call of Duty League Stage 4: Reece \u2018Vivid\u2019 Drost, following a transaction with the Los Angeles Guerrillas. After winning CDL Champs 2020, the Empire ran into struggles during the 2021 season. Star SMG Cuyler \u2018Huke\u2019 Garland was benched on May 4 and his replacement, Tyler \u2018FeLo\u2019 Johnson, was subsequently benched on May 20. Now, Dallas has finally brought in their new starter \u2014 ending nervous hours of suspense for CDL fans (and fellow competitors). Vivid, despite being benched by the Guerrillas on April 21, seriously impressed fans in his time as a starter for LAG. That excitement has been visible in immediate reactions to the Dallas move, as fans appear much more intrigued by Vivid\u2019s addition than they did when FeLo was announced. Welcome to the Empire, @VividTheWarrior.#DefendTheThrone pic.twitter.com\/S6N3COp8QW \u2014 Dallas Empire (@DallasEmpire) May 21, 2021 In the team\u2019s few weeks with FeLo starting, the Empire went 2-4 and were swept in all four losses. Now, with Vivid on board, fans are hoping the pendulum can swing in the opposite direction. While a streaky player, Vivid has become renowned for his slaying output and individual prowess \u2014 as evidenced by a strong 0.9-plus K\/D across all three CDL 2021 modes: Control, Hardpoint, and Search & Destroy. The new team\u2019s first tests will come in Stage 4, as Dallas plays their first match on May 28 against the London Royal Ravens. After that game, the field grows increasingly competitive \u2014 as the Empire landed themselves in Group B, which is led by strong teams like the New York Subliners and Toronto Ultra. In a gift from the storyline spirits, Vivid will also get his chance at a grudge match against the Guerrillas on June 3.
