Enable & Pacman: CDL\u2019s world champs made a mistake | Reverse Sweep Review DexertoFollowing the first week of Stage 3 in the Call of Duty League, our Reverse Sweep crew is back to run through all the latest news. Here from Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt, Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker, and Katie Bedford as they discuss the biggest storylines. The beginning of Stage 3 has already seen major roster shuffles, surprising upsets, and newcomers making a splash. To break everything down, join our Reverse Sweep crew as they dive into all the biggest developments surrounding the London Home Series. HyDra helps Subliners topple FaZe In his first series on the starting lineup, HyDra helped push NYSL over the edge against FaZe. While it came down to the wire in a classic Game 5 Round 11 situation, \u201cHyDra looked like the real deal\u201d in Enable\u2019s eyes. After weeks of anticipation, the French rookie \u201cshowed what he can do.\u201d Not only can he hang with the top teams in the League, but he can edge them out as well. Subliners had been doing well before Stage 3, but now, they\u2019ve just received a big \u201cupgrade\u201d for what was \u201calready a great team,\u201d according to Pacman. Dallas benches Huke in shock roster shuffle Perhaps the biggest shock of the week came just hours of Empire\u2019s first win in Stage 3. Huke was surprisingly moved to the bench while FeLo stepped up to the starting lineup. Pacman described it as \u201ceasily the most controversial move we\u2019ve had in the CDL. On paper, it\u2019s absolutely asinine.\u201d Read More: Clayster defends Dallas over Huke benching – \u201cThere has to be more we don\u2019t know,\u201d Enable added. \u201cYou don\u2019t just bench your most talented player.\u201d Despite FeLo holding his own in a tough first series against Toronto, Enable simply doesn\u2019t see Empire \u201cimproving at all\u201d after this shakeup. Toronto keeps the momentum rolling after Stage 2 win For the Stage 2 champs, plenty of questions were answered at the London Home Series. With back-to-back sweeps, they proved the Stage 2 victory wasn\u2019t a fluke. \u201cI think they\u2019re the best team in the game at the moment,\u201d Enable claimed. \u201cTop to bottom they look really consistent across every game mode. All the players have been playing fantastic.\u201d If they\u2019re able to keep it up, another championship could be just weeks away. Most impressive debut of the week MONEY CHEEN ON FIRE \ud83d\udd25 @MJCheen is @PacmanJT & @Enable’s most impressive debutant!#CDL2021 Stage 3 Week 1 Review: https:\/\/t.co\/5LTnTHYJDp pic.twitter.com\/JbFJORkT8e\u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 27, 2021 With plenty of newcomers jumping in for the first week of Stage 3, Pacman highlighted Cheen as the most impactful debut. \u201c[Los Angeles Guerrillas] isn\u2019t the best team, but he came in and they immediately looked better. While we\u2019ve only seen one game with Cheen in the starting lineup, it was a clean 3-0 sweep over Paris to put them on the board. Enable agreed with Pacman\u2019s pick, explaining that Cheen was the only new player \u201cthat actually did impress [him]. Maybe he can turn this Guerrillas team into a legitimate team,\u201d he said. MVPs of the London Home Series For the most valuable players of the week, the Reverse Sweep crew put up two different names. Pacman went with Ultra\u2019s Insight due to his \u201cconsistent\u201d performance in S&D. \u201cHe just keeps dropping bombs. The guy\u2019s nasty, he might be the best individual S&D player in the game right now.\u201d Read More: CDL Top Plays from London Home Series – While Enable commended the British player as well, he had to give his MVP award to fellow 100 Thieves member Kenny. \u201cThere were a lot of questions when [the LA Thieves] decided to bench SlasheR and move Kenny to a Main AR. I think he\u2019s proven he can easily be considered one of the best in the game, he\u2019s like a human highlight reel.\u201d Craziest moment of the London Home Series Facing the league’s best team in his #CDL2021 debut, @HyDrAnml TURNED UP for @Subliners! \ud83d\udca5 1.09 series K\/D \ud83d\udca5 Win vs FaZe \ud83d\udca5 30-bomb in first-ever map \ud83d\udca5 Led team in damageWelcome to the league kid! #NYSL pic.twitter.com\/KSna3XA20h \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) April 25, 2021 It\u2019s been an eventful week both in and out of the game, but one moment stood out in particular for Enable. \u201cIt has to be that Round 11 from Subliners vs FaZe,\u201d he explained. When a well-placed flash grenade failed to hit its target, it completely flipped the final round on its head. \u201cI don\u2019t want to blame the whole game on that, but it was a huge play,\u201d he said. From Pacman\u2019s point of view, however, the biggest moment of the week took place on Twitter instead. \u201cThe tweet from Dallas Empire,\u201d he joked. \u201cAt midnight, when people are chilling, they drop one of the best players in the game.\u201d With Huke now on the bench, it could offset the League for the rest of the year, according to Pacman. We have no idea on the ripple effect of this. It could end up being a big thing at the end of the season.\u201d Least Valuable Players of the London Home Series Last but not least, the LVP awards. Enable couldn\u2019t settle on just one player this week, so he handed the award over to Skrapz, Aqua, and Classic together. \u201cI\u2019m putting that trio as the LVP,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen they made the move to pick up Temp, I thought they\u2019d be a team that could compete. They\u2019ve just looked really bad so far and haven\u2019t shown any signs of improvement.\u201d Pacman took a similar approach, giving his LVP to the entirety of the Royal Ravens for one particular reason. \u201cHow are you gonna drop Dylan for Zaptius?\u201d Pacman asked. \u201cWhy do you drop one of the most explosive players on your team?\u201d It\u2019s still early days yet so perhaps a rebound is right around the corner. For now, though, Pacman isn\u2019t all too pleased with London\u2019s latest roster shuffle.
