Enable puts LA Thieves\u2019 struggles down to players \u201cslumping\u201d at crucial time Reverse Sweep \/ LA ThievesLA Thieves, despite the backing of CoD legends Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag and Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan, have experienced a turbulent first season in the CDL. But what\u2019s going wrong for the Thieves, and will the introduction of Huke and SlasheR actually solve their problems? The excitement generated from 100 Thieves\u2019 acquisition of a Call of Duty League spot looks disproportionate in comparison to the waves they\u2019ve made in the league. While not necessarily a disaster, the Thieves have found consistency incredibly difficult to come by. Initial responses saw Venom and Drazah drafted in as SlasheR struggled to acclimatise to online play. There was some promise shown but, ahead of the return to LAN at the Stage IV Major, Huke and SlasheR have returned to replace both the young-guns. The new roster made their debut on June 11, but lost out to a resurgent ROKKR. There\u2019s still the Stage IV Major left to play, but the Thieves\u2019 chances of a favorable finish will be reduced considerably if they do not start in the Winners\u2019 Bracket. Plenty of theories have circulated about their struggles but, for Enable, it simply comes down to players \u201cslumping\u201d at the wrong time. Speaking on Reverse Sweep, Enable put the Thieves\u2019 main struggles down to a lack of composure when it really matters: \u201cDrazah hasn\u2019t looked good, Venom hasn\u2019t\u2026 none of them have really looked good. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s any issues behind the scenes with the overall team vibes. More importantly, the players just look like they\u2019re slumping. Multiple players are slumping at the same time and this is not the time of the year where you want to be.\u201d In contrast, Pacman actually highlighted the org\u2019s previous roster changes. As we now know, the organization\u2019s response has been more roster changes. Whether that can arrest the slump remains to be seen but, if Thieves are going to pull up any trees at Stage IV, they\u2019ll need all players to put in better performances than they\u2019ve shown so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
