Dallas Empire\u2019s Shotzzy admits he may return to Halo after CDL Champs Microsoft \/ Activision[jwplayer pqm2EgOF]Dallas Empire\u2019s Anthony \u201cShotzzy\u201d Cuevas-Castro could be leaving the Call of Duty League (CDL) after just one season; Microsoft\u2019s new Halo Infinite title may be too appetizing to pass up, he\u2019s admitted. Prior to his tenure in competitive Call of Duty, Shotzzy was one of the best Halo players in the world. The 19-year-old won multiple events throughout the Halo 5 cycle, even claiming a World Championship in 2018 under the Splyce banners. Bringing the talented player over to CoD was no small feat. Dallas Empire owner Mike \u2018Hastr0\u2019 Rufail allegedly spent up to $250,000 just buying out his old contract. Let alone salary costs for the newly established League. The move has certainly paid dividends, however, as the Dallas roster currently sits in second place with just one regular-season event to go. With this year\u2019s playoffs boasting a bigger prize pool than ever before, there\u2019s still plenty at stake as the inaugural season comes to a close.

As the 2020 MVP candidate recently hinted, he\u2019s open to the idea of returning to Halo if the franchise\u2019s sixth mainline installment is \u201creally f***ing fun.\u201d In the midst of casual Modern Warfare matches during a July 21 stream, Halo came up in conversation. Just two days out from the major Xbox Games Showcase, Shotzzy admitted that he\u2019s excited to see the reveal of Halo Infinite. \u201cThis is me being serious\u2026if Halo Infinite is actually really f***ing fun, and I genuinely like it, I\u2019m debating on switching,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying that I will go back. I\u2019m just saying that if it\u2019s really f***ing good and I see potential in it, then there\u2019s a possibility.\u201d The first core entry in the Halo franchise since 2015, Infinite has been shrouded in mystery since its reveal in 2018. No one quite knows how the gameplay will look, nor how Microsoft intends to support the competitive scene. A full unveiling is set for the Xbox Games Showcase with a rumored release window of Q4 2020. If this reveal sparks interest from the Halo 5 World Champion, Shotzzy could be set to transition once again. \u201cI\u2019ve played Halo literally since I was four years old until last year.\u201d With fifteen years of experience, it would likely be a seamless transition back if the console pro decides to leave the CDL behind. A few games later he reiterated that it\u2019s purely an option he\u2019s considering at this point in time. \u201cI genuinely don\u2019t think I will,\u201d he said, before adding he\u2019s \u201cjust going to have to wait and see.\u201d As Microsoft gears up for the launch of Halo Infinite, Shotzzy is gearing up for his biggest competition to date. The CDL playoffs will be kicking off on August 19 with $4.6 million up for grabs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
